QB Camp: Gabbert

Seriously, every time I hear him talk about plays or breaking stuff down, i am thoroughly impressed with Gabbert. I watch him do drills and I straight up salivate.

Then I watch Game tape and get concerned.

I don't know what to think of him, even though I like him more than newton. I like how intelligent he is, but i don't like his production. it was said he would succeed in a pro style offense over a gimmicky spread one at mizzou, but who really knows?

Maybe I want him to be a great QB just because he honestly just LOOKS like a great QB should. Good looking kid, big, strong, great hair, smart...

I just hate this draft so damn much.

It's hard not to like.

But my first impression of Gabbert was the next Carr or Leinert, but he's a better guy than that. I really think he's the next Bledsoe.

I really think you might be on to something there. I could really see that happening. Above average QB that had all the potential in the world to be great but could never push it over the edge.

I can see it happening.

Didnt you know, QB is all cerebral, no athleticism or toughness required. The best & most classiest NFL QBs come from the ivy league. Soon as defenses see their helmet size and how large their brains are they become frightened!!! RAAAARRR!!! RAAAAR!!! LMAO!!!

Yeah, I'm sure Tom Brady could win a decathlon :rolleyes:

Agreed, except I don't think Gabbert is more pro-ready than Newton mentally and probably never wil be. He might be smarter than Newton and memorize playbooks faster, but if he hesitates on the field that won't matter.

I could have phrased that better. Gabbert will pick up the lingo easier, and maybe the playbook, just because he is starting out ahead in that department.

As to the mental aspects on the field, I would take Newton's decision making in a heartbeat.

I've read numerous reports where NFL personnel people are pretty sure Gabbert's going to be a good quarterback.

The problem is, they're not convinced he'll be one of the greats. That's why he shouldn't go #1, according to many of them. Because if you take a QB at #1, you're looking for more than just good.

I will agree with this completely and say that is the reason I have said numerous times I have no problem with Newton being the pick as long as the F.O. does their homework and feels he can help the team win games. I don't want a guy to sell tickets....unless he's selling playoff tickets....

I hear you C42, and couldn't agree more.

Agree. That's who I think of too.

I would not be severely disappointed if we took him over Newton, but there just seems to be something missing...fire, or competitiveness or something.

He is just a lot more laid back than I like to see. Think about Brady and Manning and Rivers. Any of those guys would sell their mothers for a quality win.

I guess he was one hell of a runner :rolleyes:

If running is the right decision, then run.

Joe freakin Montana said (paraphrasing) "...if a defense gives you an open field and you thimk you can run without getting hurt, then run."

Right. I think as fans, we would like Gabbert alot and expect alot, but be patiently frustrated with him because he never accomplishes anything, but still like him even when we never accomplish anything because how can you not like the guy? And we would eventually be relieved to be rid of him.

      Schedule Release: Leaks and Rumors

      By Kentucky Panther · Posted

      Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season.

      The Carolina Huddle

      By ladypanther · Posted

      Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.

      Favorite JAG 2020+

      By Jay Roosevelt · Posted

      My top-5 JAGS: 1. Tommy Tremble: May not ever be top-tier, but has been solid and you never doubt the effort. 2. Cade Mays: Not bad for a 6th rounder. Hated to see him go. 3. Brady Christensen: One of the most versatile backup OLs in the NFL. Hopefully we re-sign him. 4. Trevis Gipson: Quietly was really solid depth last season. Glad we brought him back. 5. Brycen Tremayne: Has been solid depth at WR, flashing at times last year.
