QB Camp: Gabbert


Mr. Scot

Recommended Posts

It came on at 7 tonight on ESPNU. I thought he came off looking extremely educated about the game of football. He seemed like a very polished prospect, knowledgeable about not only his offense but the opposing defense as well. His throwing drills were very crisp and he put some really nice touch on the ball. I'm still pretty concerned about his ability to transition to a pro style offense and how he will do against an NFL blitz but the Gruden special certainly didn't hurt my opinion on Blaine....

Posted in first 'Gruden Camp: Blaine Gabbert' thread...

Very quiet personality. Seemed like he was a little shy/nervous being there.

Gruden pointed out how his personality changes for the better in the huddle.

Seemed to have the football knowledge to dissect defenses.

Footwork and throws looked great.

Is certainly a great mobile QB.

I think Gruden wanted to ask him out on a date...'Don't want to mess up that face (break a nose), your a good lookin' guy."

His hair was beautiful.

First big impression I get watching him in this is that he looks very nervous.

People previously said he looked pissed. I disagree. I've seen him gulp when asked a question, saw his eyes get big when he realized a clip of him was being pulled up, heard a nervous sounding laugh, and other stuff.

Not sure how to feel about that. Granted, Gruden can be intimidating, but he's gonna be facing a lot more high pressure situations than this. the other guys looked way more at ease for the most part.

    • There are several posters that only post negative at all times.   8 wins is a big jump from 5 and we still have 2 games.  Jaguars have a much more talented roster than us and have underachieved for years. 
    • All of this noise is just setting us up to lose Week 18 and proclaim life's not fair. If there's one thing I know in my 30+ years of watching the Hornets and Panthers, is that the bad guy always wins in the end. A team can be falling apart internally but we will still lose to them. A team's fanbase can be extra shitty and cocky and they will just win anyway. It always happens
    • Well even if we took diverging paths getting there...our overall assessment of Shough is the same (bolded) lol so I guess that's what matters.  What you call "playing at a level that looks like a veteran starter" is the same thing I'm referencing when I talk about his poise.  Although I still wonder how truly "bad" of a team the Saints are.  Their defense is middle-of-the-road, and their offense does have some good pieces (Olave, Juwan Johnson) outside of running back which is the position most everyone agrees is relatively plug-and-play.  I'm not going to pretend to know anything about the majority of NFL team's o-lines lol but I'm assuming Saints are not great there, although Shough's pressure % seems to have been quite low (and steadily improving) over the last four weeks (20 -> 16.7 -> 15.0 -> 13.0) so maybe they've been playing better as of late, or perhaps Shough himself deserves credit for that.   Some of the language I'm hearing about Shough, including talking about how he's way above league average in several categories, makes it sound like Shough is having a rookie season on par with like a CJ Stroud who established himself as basically a Top 5-10 QB his rookie season.  Maybe that's on me though, I don't mean to attribute anything to you that I'm sure you don't agree with.
