Blaine Gabberts Mega thread

Blaine Gabbert's arm strength just ordinary?

http://rotoworld.com/player/nfl/6451/blaine-gabbert

Darin Gantt of the Charlotte Observer has heard that Missouri QB Blaine Gabbert's arm strength is "ordinary," and there is concern in the league that he was just "not all that productive" in college.

Gabbert's 16:9 touchdown-to-interception ratio is one of the least impressive among this year's signal callers, and his yards-per-attempt average of 6.71 as a junior also ranks dead last in the class. "Bottom line on Blaine Gabbert," wrote Gantt on Twitter late Wednesday, "(I) haven't had one scout, coach, or personnel type I know tell me, 'Love him. Will be a star.'" Mar 17, 9:49 AM

I don't either. Really just don't get it. I could at least understand if he had played in a pro offense or something, but for a guy who has the same transition as Newton to make, I just don't see why he's rated higher by so many.

Cam put up FAR superior stats, won more, won a championship, and has a FAR superior physical skillset.

I don't understand how he gets so much hype to be honest.

Me neither. From what I heard he was totally inconsistent running a spread offense and he didnt improve that much in the past few years. King Taqahara or whatever might have a point on this one, if he was black he would be a 2nd rounder. haha

    • Big opportunity for Nadeau if he gets called up. 
    • I think OL is a pretty low overall concern but every single offseason there should be an attempt to upgrade through the draft. Edge rusher there are no easy answers, IMO. If a truly elite prospect falls to us in the 1st, that is fine. This draft seems to be much more heavy on 3-4 DE's or 4-3 DE's than it is on elite EDGE guys. You just have to keep plugging away every offseason and hope it works out. I don't think it's worth trading a ton of draft capital over at the moment, despite being a crucial roster weakness. Do the best you can and build a better roster and maybe eventually we will be in a position to be making a Parsons level trade.
    • I understand that a capable OC is desirable but I also understand, or think I might, the dynamics with the staff and maybe I’m wrong but I do not see Canales firing his offensive right hand guy without significant pressure from Morgan or Tepper to do so.  So that, in addition to Canales stating pretty definitively, that he was keeping play calling.     I don’t know what you do in that circumstance. It would need to be important enough to you to make it worth firing Canales to get your OC play caller.    To that, if Canales not being good so far at play calling (and we only have the one year in TB to factor with what we have see here), is accepted as a given, it is only fair and honest to consider what an impediment having to construct and administer an offense around Bryce Young’s game would be to an OC. I would say it is a big complication, big surprise there.  You won’t know about Canales 100% until you remove Bryce from the equation and get him a clean slate to create from - without the Bryce restrictions.  And yeah you will likely end up without a top notch high flying offense. But it still *could* be much better than it is now. In the right hands.  So that is potentially what we’re looking at. I suppose we could keep Bryce and bring in a college style coach and design a Bryce rollout offense or something and see if that helped. I am not in favor of that, probably the last thing I would want.  We could do nothing, which I am not in favor of. We could fire Canales and keep Bryce (my least preferred option). We could get rid of both, which I would begrudgingly accept but would lament the interruption of the continuity that a 3rd year would provide.  You could get rid of Bryce and get a couple of new QB prospects in here, vets, drafts, whatever… that would be my choice.  I am afraid I know how it’s gonna go. All I can really say about that is, there has not been a single time in three years that I looked at the upcoming game and felt like we were gonna win because we have Bryce Young playing QB. Because of what he could do with the ball in his hands. Not once. Sure there have been a handful of games that he was part of the reason we won, a couple he was a big part, but not enough times to feel like that is my expectation. At best, it is cross your fingers and hope for good Bryce.
