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.

      Official Panthers roster cuts thread

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      He only wants to be traded because it's the Vikings who are calling. If he didn't want to be here, he could have retired, instead he took a pay raise to come back for another season.  I get it, it's an opportunity that he'd like to take, but we shouldn't cut off our nose to spite our face because he now wants to jump at this opportunity less than two weeks before the season starts. I'm not against trading him, I'm just against trading him for a return that doesn't help our team as much as having him on the roster would.  I'll put it this way, if a 5th is the best we can get for him from the Vikings and he's now dug in on not wanting to stay this year, I'm saying screw you and trading him to any of the other 30 teams besides the Vikings for the best offer we can get. He was perfectly happy here a week ago, if the Vikings soured him on that and then want to get him for peanuts, then screw them both.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By carpanfan96 · Posted

      Yes and no, he wants to go back and his wife most definitely wants to go back. He took a bunch of team mates to Minny and has worked out with JJ two offseasons in a row. It's where both him and his wife are from.    The money was basically a please come back and help Bryce. Pretty please...here's some more money.    Now he's agreed to a paycut to go back to the Vikings.

      Because he won't be here next year, we aren't winning this year and we need to see if Renfrow or Horn can be that guy going forward. If Bryce isn't good enough to do poo without AT we need to find that out this year as well. I'm fine keeping him but his role needs to be slowly reduced throughout the year anyway so we know what we have for the future
