Rivera talks about Gabbert "Glowingly"?

(Sorry if this is old, I've been out of the country and internet deprived for the past week)

anyway, in don banks' new mock draft, he has us taking Gabbert. whats more telling is this line:

Every time Rivera talked glowingly of Gabbert's "presence,'' or how much the NFL has become a passing league, I thought I sensed the direction Carolina's new head coach wants to go

im sure this is just him blowing smoke up our asses, so take it for what its worth

Newton has blown smoke up our asses 100000 times and he still has some smoke stashed in his laptop case which came with the laptop he stole. I'm tired of Newton threads.

Yet you're the one that mentions Newton in a Gabbert thread. Are you the one blowing smoke up our asses?

[Verge]

Can Rivera really talk about anyone negatively?

damn, did I blow my cover? :eek6:

[Mr. Scot]

Banks has been sticking to that pick for a while.

the rivera quotes were why joe person originally said we'd go with gabbert. but on nfl network he said cam newton so he musta changed his mind.

[Mr. Scot]

Or Gantt changed it for him :lol:

[Jackofalltrades]

Or Gantt changed it for him :lol:

Gantt changes his mind weekly now, think he does ot for readership rather than to rep his actual opinion.

Gantt seems sold on Newton.

It is what it is.

it's not part of the process

[Mother Grabber]

It is what it is.

You're fired.

I'd really be suprised if Gabbert ended up being good, but you never know. If and to me that's a big "if" we draft I'd definately support him. Who can you really compare him too in the NFL? I honestly do know of anyone who's good that looked like him as a rookie. His production dropped when the star recievers left. You can look at ability on the chalkboard and that's a big plus, but what about when you're on the field. If you've played any sport you know there's a big difference from a workout(pro day) and game day. When the pressure is on he doesn't look like the confident QB.
