If we draft Gabbert, would you support him?

I want to know the flipside on all of you Cam supporters. It's almost a foregone conclusion that we are going to draft Cam. But, an extreme longshot, hypothetically if we drafted Gabbert... would you get behind him?

Considering our relative success in the first round, I'm actually pretty at peace with whomever we grab. Even more so this year with new coaching.

My preference is Dareus or Newton, but whomever they grab is going to be a great prospect.

Of course. I don't think he's going to be even close to a great player, but if we draft him I'll hope for it. I think as a pro Gabbert is going to be a solid but unspectacular player. I'd rather swing for the fences, as people have been putting it, on Newton.

    • Whether it's consistently seeing the field his arm talent his mechanics it all points to a limited player that needs virtually everything to go right in order to possibly begin to overachieve or play at an elite level. Some people are willing to accept average at best but that's not what we're here for. This is a business.
    • Last year folks were gaslighting that Bryce was the best deep passer in the NFL despite not ever making plays downfield  NOW, he has A+++++++ arm strength one notch down from Brett Favre S Tier arm strength?  And people complain people are Bryce “haters” for arguing against all this type wildness lol.     
    • I looked at him and his arm and his footwork, before he was drafted.  It was clear then it is clear now. He doesn’t have an arm that can flick a ball down the field using only the arm.  I don’t see his arm as good by NFL standards. I see it as something he must overcome. So I quibble with the characterization.  What I completely agree with is if he does not do his mechanics and footwork right his velocity and accuracy suffers.  If he is diligent and adheres to proper execution, yeah he can make do with his arm.  That sort of is what it is at this point.  Another aspect of it is he needs to use maximum effort to go downfield or to really drive a ball with any kind of heat. That (max effort) hinders accuracy. I have talked about this before.  He is at a disadvantage having to max exert compared to a guy that can use a very repeatable easier throwing motion.  Up to him if he can proof the pudding and hang with the big dogs.
