I'm not posting it because i'm a blaine nuthugger, I'm posting it because it seemed interesting to me. in the second part of the article, the author details just about every throw he made, and how precisely he made them, and the rhythm he got into. I thought it was cool to get an in depth look at what actually went down at his pro day.

I really like Gabbert and I feel like he could really surprise people if given a chance and if he ends up in the right place.

that being said, we're not going to take him. I don't get the feeling that we are going QB. Maybe it's because *I* feel we shouldn't that I think the team feels the same way. Dunno.

well, he's got the hair for it, I guess.

I think a lot of quarterbacks in this draft have potential. People keep saying it's weak but you have 7-8 QB's w/potential. Gabbert, :D, Locker, Mallet, Ponder, Stanzi, Kaepernick, Taylor, kid from Alabama. That doesn't look too bad if you ask me. Perfect time to grab the one that we feel is best. Next year we only know of 3-4 possible good QB's. We don't know what the hell is gonna happen with free agency. We dont have that bad of a team. Depending on how the QB play is, we might be picking in the middle of the round 7-9 or 8-8 as usual.

It sucks if you have to take a QB #1 overall based mostly on potential. It'd be nice if any of these guys looked like they were worth a damn today and could step in and play. Maybe he turns out alright, maybe he doesn't, who knows.

I guess potential means you can't step in and play nowadays. I think you misunderstood.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
