Gabbert is the top rated QB

[teeray]

Reputable is if they agree with me. I looked at three, no more, no less. These are pretty popular sites.

Wow. You are really into the Cam Kool AId. Funny think is, you will have spent your winter and spring worshipping some other team's backup QB.

I just defend the guy bc people are brutal on him.

If you look at the 2001 Mock Draft database that uses 229 different mocks has Cam likely going third and Gabbert at 10.

So.... but you do have three :)

Well he has one thing going for him....he hasn't shot himself in the ass at the podium so far.

Has he even been interviewed? ;)

As I've been saying- No, we won't.

I want to see a trade down a couple spots and go Defense and collect picks.

[teeray]

Plus I think he could be REALLY good. And if we ignore are QB situation we will be dead in the water the next 2 years from the get go.

Please dont draft a QB. I am sure one will emerge, but these QBs have too many question marks and flags. If I had to take one? I might take Ponder or Mallet in the third if they dropped. I would take Cam or Gabbert in the second round.

Bull poo. What can the new OC do with Moore? Have we tried to trade for a vet yet? This is so far from over its not even funny. hell we significantly upgrade the Defense, get our guys on the OL back from IR and we might win 9 games or more next year, been done before.

Only the worst teams reach out of need and anyone taking a QB in the top 5 is reaching out of need for a QB in THIS draft.

Well if Lombardi says it, it must be true. I mean we did trade Smith last year like he said.

That's the ideal scenario IMO.

If we don't draft a QB number 1. We need to just hope for the best and wait and see what shakes out in next years draft in the first round. I have shown you guys over and over again that the QB position rarely gets fixed after the first round, in FA, or on the trade market.

You get franchise QB's in the first round. If you pass this year we may be in an even worse spot the next several years with even riskier options to fix the position. That is why I am on the QB bandwagon. If you are a top 5 talent at QB and you are desperate at that position you have to take that guy. If we end up in the teens with our picks the next couple of years we have to take the left overs from the early picks and then will end up with guys with a heck of a lot more questions about their ability than Cam Newton.

THis is not an endorsement for Gabbert, but it is to provide a different perspective. I don't want a first round QB. Trade down, grab Green, Dareus, or Bowers. Get a second rounder. Trade for a QB or sign a vet. But don't waste time trying to develop this pile of crap. We would not only have to correct thier mechanics, but we would have to serve them as probation officers or rehab counselors. They make Volek and Palmer look pretty good. Imagine what the huggers would be saying about Clausen if they just found out he was rumored to have done what Cam was rumored to have done? The torch and pitchfork bearing mob would be dragging him out in the streets within 24 hours.

With Luck and Barkley likely to come out next year AND the question marks surrounding Newton and Gabbert I highly doubt it'll be a "riskier" lot next season.

Risk is reaching for a project with the first overall pick when there are several better options at other positions of need.

Not taking Cam won't set us back at all.

This, historically speaking, is a stone cold lock to fail. You are worried about a Cam bust. This would likely be a QB position suicide. It doesn't work. Sorry it is just true.

Around 90% fail rate.

You showed nothing we didnt already know. We don't look to you for practical football knowledge. Half of the first rounders bust. Top reasons? Football IQ and character concerns (work ethic, leadership skills, integrity, etc). NFL players will not respect a theif and a cheat. If you want us to listen to you, get some integrity and ethics and stand up for them.

Just because you draft a kid in the first doesn't make him a first round talent.

If Rivera is as good as I think he is we will be in the teens with our pick. Luck and Barkley won't be there. Who is your third or 4th QB in next years draft?? That is our franchise guy.
