I think this article should temper your expectations of a "Pro-Day" -He still looked awkward dropping back and throwing it.

http://www.nationalfootballpost.com/Why-Blaine-Gabberts-pro-day-doesnt-mean-anything.html

However, the biggest concern I have watching him on tape is his overall feel and instincts in the pocket. He’s a guy who doesn’t look real comfortable any time he feels a rush and fails to consistently step up and buy time for himself in the pocket. He also prematurely drops his eye level and will flush himself backward out of the pocket.

Didn't see any article from the National Football Post. However 19 threads bout the Gabbert hype machine is way too much but this is a good article that expresses concerns that are there from the regular season and career despite the pro day.

but 500 about the newton hype machine is ok?

Thanks for the link. It's like 6:25 am and I rather enjoyed getting a new link on the first page of a thread rather than sifting through insurmountable pages of garbage in the other thread. Cam can get a thousand threads and Yo Gabba only gets a mega thread, half of which people are talking about Cam anyways... I appreciate it. Thanks and don't worry if some posters are eager to come across as dicks instead of actually reply to a significant and new thread.

Also, the part where it said he's a 2nd round talent does scare me. This time last year, Jimmy was a first round taken and potential top ten pick. Maybe Gabbert is destined for the same slide, and as Jimmy showed, maybe for good reason too. No doubt the tools are there, as with Jimmy, but pocket awareness is KEY. also, it's important to be a real winner in college.

Peterson or Dareus, there's no sense in reaching for any of these QB's with the # 1 overall pick.

if you think that a guy can be your franchise's guy, then I don't believe that it's possible to "reach" for a QB. most important position on the field. if you believe that that player can be your franchise QB, then draft him.

You can't take every writer as gospel or you'll end up being pulled in a different direction every time you read a different article.

I missed where Gabbert wasn't a winner in college... Didn't he have like a 23-6 record or something... Sounds like a winner to me.

Could have gone to about any school he wanted and decided to stay home and go to a bad/average team. Nothing wrong with that.

      NFC South is now ACTIVATED

      I will as soon as you withdraw your fandom from the Patriots. Informative threads are great but all of these estrogen and emotion driven threads you start are ridiculous.

      Canes vs Panthers 7pm

      By Anybodyhome · Posted

      Will be there tonight and expect nothing from the Canes. They are soft and won't go after anyone, nor will they respond when, not if, Florida starts bullying them. Not to mention Freddie is in net. I fear this will be an ass-kicking.

      QB School - Bryce Young vs Bucs

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      Is this not a bit contradictory?  Also surely if any of us are smart enough to evaluate what we're seeing in real time, a former NFL QB can at least manage the same.  Especially considering he's basing his analysis on hours (maybe generous?) of reviewing All-22 footage which he can play back over and over again, focusing each time on different position groups, match-ups, progressions, etc. which is simply impossible for a fan to fully assess in real time.  Unless you're actually at the game, we basically only get the QB/O-line in frame during the broadcast and even in that limited window of the field, there is simply too much happening.  I'm usually broadly focusing on Bryce, maybe peeping the footwork (or lack thereof) and just the overall pocket and whether there is any pressure coming.  I'm not able to watch every individual one-on-one o-line match-up on top of it to see who got beat, who didn't pick up a blitz, which o-lineman didn't shift to help double-team, or whatever else. I think the truth is somewhere in between (as is almost always the case).  Knowing the play call, audible, etc. is pretty important when judging individual performances, which is why we should always take PFF grades with a grain of salt.  But yeah we can also get a pretty good overall sense of how a player is performing just from watching the game on the couch on Sundays.  I still think there's a lot of value in a review video like this.  As long as you have the bare minimum media literacy to take the interesting insights while also acknowledging inherent biases from a video like this (i.e. obviously focusing on the good over the bad).
