Gabbert question

Everyone knows I'm anti- QB with the first pick, but I was wondering what the knock on Gabbert is?

I know Cam has the run option, one read and run knock in addition to character issues.

Mallet has coke abuse to answer for.

Gabbert- I haven't seen anything other than the spread stuff.

My main point is, and it's been brought up here, is Gabbert's arm strength, but everything I've read said he has a good arm and can make ALL the throws. I know he lacks elite arm strength like Newton and Mallet but if he can make all the throws does it matter, even if we run a vertical offense?

Just curious.

He's only a two year starter and actually regressed in his second year. He has shaky mechanics, throws off his backfoot far too often, needs work on taking snaps under center. He does OK if you can keep his jersey spotless but panics like a little bitch whenever he gets the slightest bit of pressure.

Great size, mobility and decent enough arm strength. He's a guy that's gotten hype because of the measurables and what he can do in a workout in shorts with no pass rush. To me you don't take a guy #1 based on that.

Most people question his 3rd down %, his lack of touchdowns passes, and his lack of completions deep down field.

However I feel that each of these can be explained by his offense.

The 3rd down % is easiest because Missouri was constantly throwing. Opposing defenses basically didnt have to worry about the run. So as a result basically every 3rd down was long. It was either feast or famine. Either a dump off where the reciever didnt get anything or a pass where the receiver would get a first down. So as a result most of the third downs were long.

His lack of touchdowns and lack of long completions all come down to one thing: his lack of quality receivers. The year before he had Alexander who was a deep threat. This year he had a bunch of 3rd and slot receivers trying to stretch the field and it wasnt really working. It also led to Missouri running it a lot when then got inside the 10 instead of tossing it up to the corner.

He also comes from a one read offense...the difference between him and Cam is if cam's first read isn't open then he pulls it down and makes a play with his legs...which is frowned upon this day and age. Gabbert gets happy feet...doesn't hang in the pocket however he does keep his eyes downfield while he runs towards the sideline and out of bounds.

I agree with what was said earlier about the lack of QB talent in the draft...that's why Gabbert came out this year. Because he has a chance to be a top 10 pick. But there have been worse QB prospects before...Tim couch/akili smith, David Carr/Joey Harrington.

pocket presence needs work. too often he rolls out to his right. it's a knock people actually had about bradford too... well, some anyway. it's not uncommon for quarterbacks in college with the kind of line he had to have that kind of question mark.

Shitty production in college (at least for a player in consideration for the #1 overall pick). Not even regarded as the best QB in his conference last year.

All the talk about him as a potential #1 pick or even first round pick is based on the fact that he "looks" like a prototypical QB.

Add it up and it spells gigantic bust potential. The guy he reminds me most of is Kyle Boller, not in terms of how he plays but in the ridiculous way he shot up the draft boards despite marginal college production.

Not saying college production means everything, it doesn't, but for someone to be considered for a #1 pick, it has to be there.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By JawnyBlaze · Posted

      It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed.

      I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
