A first hand look at there skill set. Not bad i must say.

I don't know who to choose beyond this point. This is gonna be a tough call for Hurney and the gang.

I'm a newton fan but if they like gabbert more then i'm all for it.

Seems to me that Weinke was a better QB at Florida State then Ponder. We all see how that worked out.

[micnificent28]

I know Christian Ponder looks the part....but was he that guy who freaked out drunk outside of a frat party buck naked and claimed himself to be Jesus Christ???

If it was, that should be the biggest red flag ever.

lmao no that was years ago. as a Fsu fan, that was the funniest thing ever. I believe the kids name was wyatt sexton.

Yea but i don't think weinke's arm was a good as ponders. plus the fact he had zero upside due to the fact he was almost 30 when we drafted him.

Gabbert is really starting to grow on me.

I'm still not 100% on him though.

Weinke was on a better team, and Bowden was still a good coach. Might be why he looked better.

Totally disagree. Weinke was known to throw a deep ball with great touch. Given he was 27 and had played pro baseball, he should have had greater poise than Ponder and been more pro ready. It just underlines how hard it is to judge who is going to succeed and who won't.

Yeah it couldn't have been him. Must be due to something else. I wonder if the same logic applies to Luck this year.

I definitely think that Gabbert can lead this Team to the playoffs.

I can understand that. Not much you can compare of the two. Other than being old,i just can't find a single reason why weinke failed...........

[Mr. Scot]

I always love vids like this. You can tell Marriucci is an old QB coach.

Depends on who you are comparing Luck to.

There is no doubt that Weinke was on a better team. When you have better talent around you, and better coaching, you can look better. That MIGHT be why he looked better than Ponder. Then again, it MIGHT not be. We will find out if Ponder is indeed a better QB than Weinke was.
