QB Camp: Gabbert


Mr. Scot

Recommended Posts

Knowledge>Production?

College Production? There are plenty of successful NFL QB's that didn't have good production. If we are talking about production then Mallet should be far and away the number QB in the draft... being he has a a 60-14 TD ratio in the SEC and way more passing samples then Newton.

The production in college game is meaningless.

So you want a guy who can produce in an extremely unconventional college system who may not even be able to read and understand the playbook over a guy who has shown the knowledge to play on an NFL level....

I want a guy who can produce in whatever system he is thrown into....ie Blinn and Auburn

Success in simplified systems doesn't guarantee he'll succeed in a more complex one.

There's no more guarantee that Newton succeeds here than there is with Gabbert. Both have legitimate concerns.

(not the same concerns, but both legitimate concerns)

I'm not worried about college production... I'm worried about NFL production.

And unfortunately, there is no real correlation between college production and NFL production.

Why don't we draft Greg McElroy? Smartest guy in the draft

Because Gabbert also has the physical tools to be great - McElroy has some big red flags when it comes to the physical side of the game, even if his mental side is an A+.

That being said, I don't want to draft a quarterback. I would go with Gabbert if I went QB, though.

Same for me.

I would agree with you guys if we had even a competent option to start at QB, and I'm a broken record on this point, but we don't have one, and with our front office's track record, I doubt we're not going to go out and find one through FA.

If we draft a QB #1, and we probably will, he's our guy from day one.

This draft has guys with the physical tools and guys with the mental tools, but I'm not convinced there's anyone that has both.

I think Gabbert has the total package he just doesn't have enough of it to be a top 5 QB in 5 years so I can't justify him being the number one pick....

There's nobody in this draft I trust to be able to do that.

I think we have to get a veteran. Preferably by trade, but even a stopgap via free agency would be okay with me.

I can guarantee you that Gabbert, Mallett or any other top college QB could have had the production that Cam had at Blinn. The difference is, that they didn't have to go to JUCO for a year. Mallett left Michigan and immediately had offers from other FBS schools. Cam went to Blinn because he had to prove that he could keep his nose clean and play at a high level before any schools would even touch him.

What? Gabbert has the physical and the Mental, it's a matter of whether he can put them together or not. No denies his physical or Mental.. 6.5 235 strong arm, and runs a 4.6.. what more physical do you want?

That's been my feeling all along, I just don't see it happening.

    • You have gave the board some recent gold via posting. Heres my poor attempt at the truthful play-by-play of the time during post- I pulled out the old laptop to do my shitposting and check on websites. Open the huddle and see this new thread. Open thread and read CRAs post, {inner thinking, oooOOooo this is my lane and I got this}. Make sure not to scroll even to the 2nd post. 23% of current neurons still firing start up and two names appear- Captain and Josh....... about another 43 seconds past "O GOD" it's July 4th weekend and I got medicine to pick up. (If the laptop didn't give away my aging, the meds should...) I need to split, think long panther careers and the hint-  Ryan Kalil was a late 2nd and Pro bowls(even all-pros too) he's got to be OLman and Mikie Minter is among the all-time Panthers career leaders. Drop my post. Scramble to get keys, wallet, and phone. Check my phone- its 17% battery.....fug I now have to raw dog the pickup line and put the phone on charge.... Flip flops, sweat ringed filled hat, and shades acquired. Get in my pos rav4 and think about not running the A/C. Pull out the drive way and reach the 1st stop light, A/C is wide open. I check my shirt to see if there's any new stains on my house shirt, bush off the Bojangles salt that I see.... Neurons re-fire and focus on the comments CRA made that no one would get this....... Dang IT, that means it isn't Ryan Kalil or Mike Minter! CVS is close, but I know its impossible I get back withing 10 minutes to change my post and my phone is on the charger. {Think you monkey, at one point you were a draft nerd}. Reach the CVS line, by some grace its not 5 cars deep during 5 o'clock traffic hell. Im second in line after the car in front of me both turn in, they have to go back and forth to line up while Im a pro for that geometry. Neurons finally reach peak performance as Ive re-thought draft classes. Think obscure and unknown 7th rounders with long careers. Some Sunday/Monday night member berry fell out of my Melon, Will montgomery during the players intros for washington. I thought he out of the league and was shocked to see him still playing around the 2015 years. I do a goggle background check and that refreshed memory. Pick up the meds and enjoy the sweet smelling cool CVS air. Driving back and check in on one of the local bums at the big stop light, wow he's got a new fancy rug. Think about all the old food I got and need to start giving it away and rethink it. Reach home and post a follow up and I know Minter is wrong too, I check the draft history and see Robert Mcclain. Too late, but that would have been my guess....open CRAs link and get "upset" at the DBs name.    
    • THANKS my guy! Keeping up with this threads theme, if I view a thread and there's only 20 posts and some time passes. If I see there's one new post and read the name; @Dave Gettleman's Shortsis among the chosen few that I will reopen that thread just to see what you posted.    Thanks again, plus not just a scout, thats scotty mccloughans son?!?!? If not for the deep claws of booze, scotty is among the best talent finders this league has recently had. Last I heard he ran a consulting business. Caden could be one of those who's on a early path to being a GM in the future. I was a big fan of his dad, dam shame about booze demon ruining his career.
