I agree, i was kind of shocked.. i didn't know there was so much in the X's and O's.

Honestly, that's a pretty small sample.

These guys have to know all the ins and outs of every play in a playbook with pages in triple digits, and they have to process what to do in each situation with less than three seconds before a huge defensive end flattens them, often in hostile territory with several thousand screaming fans trying to disrupt them.

Dumb jocks? Not so much these days.

Gabbert was impressive handling Mariucci's quesitions, but I was impressed with Ponder's fakes, his balance.

Funny, I have been following Gabbert on Twitter to see if he will give away something. He and Ponder are very good friends, constantly in touch. Gabbert's younger brother is on there a lot, and there is another big time prospect who interacts with them, I just cannot remember who it is. I would be happy with Ponder in the second.

If nothing else, I came away with the belief that Gabbert has ALL of the tools needed to be a pro qb in the NFL and be successful.... it's just a matter of him being able to put it all together.

Mariucci pointed out the happy feet and Gabbert understands he needs to stay in the pocket.

By the way, the first throw, rolling to his left, was money.

Absolutely. Being right handed, rolling to his left, being able avoid the rush, square his shoulders, AND THEN make the perfect pass through traffic in the back of the endzone for a TD. Doesn't get much more difficult for a QB and he made it look easy.

JJ Watt, Ponder, AJ Green (I think) and Gabbert are all friends IRL. They did their pre-draft workouts with the same people. Ponder and Gabbert got really close.

On twitter, Gabbert talks about hanging out with JJ Watt, Ponder, and his brother all the f'ing time, which is crazy since I swear they're all in different states, lol.

      Dan Morgan on the Rich Eisen show

      Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.

      Well, seeing as we play the Lions at home this year, pretty sure that rumor isn't true.

      Totally possible imo, I also caught that snippet from Morgan where he said “If” we sign him. The lack of competition says otherwise tho 🤷‍♂️
