Yo GabbaGabba's Pro Means Nosthing!


TANTRIC-NINJA

Recommended Posts

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

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.

    • There are several posters that only post negative at all times.   8 wins is a big jump from 5 and we still have 2 games.  Jaguars have a much more talented roster than us and have underachieved for years. 
    • All of this noise is just setting us up to lose Week 18 and proclaim life's not fair. If there's one thing I know in my 30+ years of watching the Hornets and Panthers, is that the bad guy always wins in the end. A team can be falling apart internally but we will still lose to them. A team's fanbase can be extra shitty and cocky and they will just win anyway. It always happens
    • Well even if we took diverging paths getting there...our overall assessment of Shough is the same (bolded) lol so I guess that's what matters.  What you call "playing at a level that looks like a veteran starter" is the same thing I'm referencing when I talk about his poise.  Although I still wonder how truly "bad" of a team the Saints are.  Their defense is middle-of-the-road, and their offense does have some good pieces (Olave, Juwan Johnson) outside of running back which is the position most everyone agrees is relatively plug-and-play.  I'm not going to pretend to know anything about the majority of NFL team's o-lines lol but I'm assuming Saints are not great there, although Shough's pressure % seems to have been quite low (and steadily improving) over the last four weeks (20 -> 16.7 -> 15.0 -> 13.0) so maybe they've been playing better as of late, or perhaps Shough himself deserves credit for that.   Some of the language I'm hearing about Shough, including talking about how he's way above league average in several categories, makes it sound like Shough is having a rookie season on par with like a CJ Stroud who established himself as basically a Top 5-10 QB his rookie season.  Maybe that's on me though, I don't mean to attribute anything to you that I'm sure you don't agree with.
