Gabbert has 21 TDs total this season (5 rushing, most in short yardage situations at the goal line)... not that impressive, but not terrible. He came into the season needing to work on accuracy and he did.

Footwork a bit of a concern but he has good accuracy and armstrength. Needs to learn to step up in the pocket to buy himself a second to make the throw instead of always rolling to one side or another. Still, extends plays which is always nice.

Works in a spread offense that generally only reads half the field so that is a concern

By all accounts is a smart kid who works hard.

Has a chance to really light it up at the combine.

NFL scouts said that Gabbert goes through his progressions well.. not the typical spread offense.

he has multiple reads on that side of the field and he does work through them is what I had heard and how it seemed based on watching him play.

It is good to know NFL scouts aren't concerned with that.

The things that are the most attractive about Gabbert are his measurables, but he also has intangibles. The right team and he'll go far I think. He's raw and will need some good QB coaching.

I don't think we're going to end up drafting him barring some major happenings, but I think he could do well.

I am one that thinks a great Quarterback can makes an average receiver look good, and a good receiver look great. That said, I do feel that a team should take a franchise QB if one is available and that team does not currently have one. I think we fall into that category, so we need to decide whether or not Gabbert is a franchise QB.

The QB position is the most important position in football. He touches the ball on every single play (almost). I am not looking forward to another season with pickles at QB.. and I believe Gabbert can be a Flacco/Freeman type of QB.

It's hard to go from Luck to Gabbert.. but it's unrealistic to believe we will get a shot at Luck again next season. We have to take what is given to us.

There will be other quarterbacks who come out next year that may be in Gabbert's class, though, so we don't necessarily need to try to address QB right now, even though I honestly think it is our #1 area of need. Without a 2nd we're in a bit of a bind as far as picks go, too.

We're going to be bringing in a veteran to give Clausen some serious competition too, and even if we did draft Gabbert or any other QB this year there is a very real possibility Clausen would start over them.

There is no way we give Clausen just one year in a bad system. Clausen was one of the top recruits coming out of high school. He has a lot of potential that I think justifies another year with a new coaching staff. We will add some play makers offensively and have a healthy line which will make a world of a difference.

I think we will also add a veteran QB, think along of the lines of a Shaun Hill.

I had thought the Lions wanted Hill back, but I may be wrong.

Volek seems very likely with all the Chargers connections here.

Drafting a QB does not mean Clausen won't have a shot, especially if it's BPA.. at this point though you don't really plan much around Clausen, just go into next year hoping he really shows huge improvement.. also, to get Gabbert, Gabber would need to move to #1 or we'd trade back, both of which seem like they aren't definite scenarios right now.

A lot of top recruits were merely busts in college and never played NFL football.

      I remember the Huddle consensus over the course of last season and the previous one. Lots of Bryce is a bust, we should've drafted a 4th slot WR, should've kept Wilks, should've kept an armless Cam, etc etc. So... yea... already thought about that. I wouldn't trust the Huddle to detail my car, let alone run a multi-billion dollar professional sports team. 😛

      Daniel Jeremiah: Panthers prime trade candidate

      bold prediction, I think Mike Green will be the best pass rusher in this class, and thats even with abdul carter.  He reminds me of demarcus ware, not just in size and prowess, but even coming from a Sunbelt school (Ware from Troy, Green from Marshall).  I think he is passionate about the sport where I think Carter as the physical freak might not have the heart.  Thats the guy Im sold on and am gonna hammer the table for, I know he's not projected 8, but he is projected like 12-13, so if a slide back can happen and we still get the guy I want, I'm 100% on board. All that said, it takes 2 to tango, I think the Cowboys are the tango-er.  IMO theres a VERY good shot that Jeanty is available at 8.  Why does that matter?  Not only do the cowboys NEED a runningback (dak sucks without a run game), but MORE importantly, gee where did Jeanty play in high school.....Frisco TX, literally Dallas Metro.  Soo, RB is a position of need and the best RB and most blue chip draft selection that  could improve the offense immensly played IN dallas metro AND will be in range for them to move up and pick?  Do ya think Jerry Jones is gonna just say no to the Jersey Sales?  Jerry might have sexually assaulted a woman and attempted to prevent black people from going to school, but he's no idiot (he is).  IMO, we get a good enough package, prlly their first and third,  maybe a conditional later and we move to 12.  We get Green, they get Jeanty, everbuddy happy.
