Missouri Fans perspective on Gabbert

Here are a few comments I found about Gabbert:

I loved getting the top QB in the nation, but I never really felt he was a fit. He's more pro-style and we run a spread. As soon as he gets re-acclimated to taking snaps under center, his size and arm will wow NFL execs and he will shoot up everyone's board.

I think its a good choice,Blaine is a pocket pass in a spread offense, not a good fit at Mizzou! He would regress w/another year under Yost!

Blaine Gabbert could use one more year in college to improve his decision making under pressure. He could use some more work on the long game.

If the projections on his draft status are accurate, I don't blame him from entering the draft. I just don't think he is quite ready.

Good luck to Missouri. - Iowa fan

This pro style v. spread offense in terms of a QB is nonsense. Regardless of the system you have to make reads, get through your progressions, and deliver an accurate pass. Rather than looking to the sidelines you have the OC telling you the play inside of your helmet. He's got the size, arm strength, and leadership ability that great QBs possess.

So there are some mixed reviews. Some of the fans that have watched him a lot think that he could use another year. But the majority of what I read was that he wasn't a fit in their offense. They think that he will go to another level if he gets into a pro offense where he has play-action options. His arm strength is apparently blue chip and worthy of a first round pick. IMO this guy needs to be the pick if he comes out and does well in the combine and the interview. IMO you don't pass up a guy that is a leader at QB when he is 6'5'' 240lbs and can move. The only thing that would downgrade him from the #1 pick in my eyes is if the GMs don't think he is capable of coming in and running a team because other than that IMO he has as much upside as any QB in recent memory.

Im a Missourian, I like the kid. Great size with a huge arm. His mobility is underrated as well. He can rush some throws and make some stupid mistakes under pressure at times, but a solid QB nonetheless.

I think everyone's expectations are high for the #1 pick since the Luck debacle. Forget luck exists and I think he would be considered a legit #1 candidate. Right or wrong.

I think a lot of people are underestimating him. I see him as another Big Ben. I know he was in a spread offense and all this other mess, but I really see him being a big time qb in the nfl. I do think Luck has made him look worse though

Hopefully our brass doesn't see it that way because you only have limited chances to take a kid that scouts rate as a legitimate top 5 player at QB. Outside of Luck, next year's QB class does not look promising. Matt Barkley will be in the draft (most likely) and I guess he could be a good QB but essentially looks like the second coming of Jimmy Clausen IMO. So its either Luck or bust in 2012. That is one reason I am hoping we don't pass up a chance to draft Gabbert this year. Sure...you won't get a chance to draft "the next Peyton Manning" next year but you could get a chance to draft "the next Ben Roethlisberger" if you draft Gabbert which I would take in a heartbeat.

Yeah, if you look back when Matt Ryan was drafted he was in a class of "mediocre" qb's and didnt always get the best of the best scouting report. His big thing when he was coming out was he was a leader and needed to be taken for his leadership abilities. I see that with Gabbert and hope we dont pass

Best QB in the draft=/= Worthy of first overall pick.

Pass.

Heard something the other day about Freeman on espn talking about when he came out and the Bucs took him. Their GM said if they would have had the #1 pick they would have took him there. Basically saying if he's the guy then he's the guy no matter where you take him at

      Dave Tepper gives Canales and Dan Morgan vote of confidence

      By mav1234 · Posted

      There's some big assumptions in here - first, I think Canales HAS helped Bryce a poo ton. To pretend he hasn't is asinine. Has he fixed him?  I mean, the dude looks like he could perhaps be a backup or low-end starter now, whereas he looked like he didn't belong in the NFL a year ago. You're talking about a coach that brought one of the worst NFL QBs of all time to a point where he may actually be a low-end starter. That IS impressive. Second, the bolded. Come on - given the offense, the dude is far from "trending towards bust." He definitely needs work but he's shown an impressive ability to get open. He's contributing to an anemic offense. The dude is our leading receiver (though he'll be #2 in yardage by end of season by a little, as Thielen does better per game).  As to his coaching, he had this team competing and believing against 3 of the better teams in the NFL, despite the lack of talent, and despite our QB situation.  Yes, things fell apart vs DAL, and he was outcoached. But that will happen with young coaches IMO.  I don't think it indicates he cant' be better. The idea of "pulling off the bandage" is ridiculous. Who would want to coach here if we fired this guy after one season?

      Has this game changed feelings about Young?

      Whatever they are in totality the cowboys are beat up all to hell on both sides of the ball and even that was too much for lil Bryce to overcome.  Bryce defenders have to hype up every other team and trash every other part of the panthers just because of the situation they’ve put themselves in.

      BREAKING: Panthers Announce Four Moves Including LB Trevin Wallace To IR

      By SCO96 · Posted

      JB had a first round grade in the eyes of a lot scouts based on HIS TALENT LEVEL. If not for the injury he would have gone higher in the draft, possibly between the middle and the end of round 1. To get him just before the 50th pick is a steal. He'd be on a 4 year deal. You can't even renegotiate until the end of the season 3. You're basically paying him nothing for 3 seasons. I don't buy into all back are interchangeable. No they're not. You have average backs, good backs, then your great-exceptional backs. The latter category doesn't grow on trees. If a back is special it pays to keep them. The key is knowing the difference between the first two categories and the third one.
