Gabbart and Mallet clearly the top two QB's

[teeray]

I get the impression from what I've read that Locker looked better than Mallett at the combine.

Mallett did get good reviews, as did Kaepernick and Taylor.

Doesn't make me change my mind though. I still don't want a quarterback in this draft.

Just goes to show that you have to take some of this with a grain of salt. Locker stunk at the Senior Bowl. Then did well today. :confused:

Keeping in mind that i don't have any real knowledge of the position or how to evaluate it, Mallet looked the best to me from the throwing drills.

The real thing that shocked me is every year you read about how these kids make or break themselves at the combine and to me it was impossible to see how you could make a real decision based on watching a few reps. The QBs threw what 20-25 passes total? I can see why a repeatedly people said it doesn't count for much and how you look less at where the kids are, but looks for signs of where they could be.

Cam definitely didn't do himself any favors though.

Do you not want a QB in the entire draft, or just with the first pick?

[jtnc]

I don't want to take the risk with a coke head.

[Grammer]

just say no to a qb, and say yes to trading down

[Lumps]

I still don't want a quarterback in this draft.

Exactly. Why are poeple even lobying for Mallet, Newton or Gabbert with our #1 overall pick? You know we don't HAVE to pick a QB and we don't HAVE to reach with the pick.

I do want a QB in the draft but if they are basically all projects in one sense or another there is no sense in over spending for anyone. I know you guys want to takes risks and are tired of always going to safe route and normally I'd agree. I know you guys want a QB but don't get your judgment clouded, look at the draft, look at the prospects, this time it would be smartest to just go the safe route add some elite talent to the team.

Stop the QB nonsense, yes it is a huge need but this draft class isn't worth what we have for the size of the risk.

As someone in KC who watches and hears a good amount of Big 12 football and has seen Gabbert play live, I absolutely do NOT get the hype. I support Carolina and will give anyone they draft the benefit of the doubt, but I see no way the Panthers take him at #1.

[Highlandfire]

The only QB I'd want at 1 is Newton. Any of the others are out of the question to me.

I'm not sold on Newton either, but that doesn't mean I'm going to pretend someones else is better.

Newton is not the top QB in this draft. Guys like you work for Al Davis or Matt Millen and ruin franchises

[Highlandfire]

Oh I still want to trade down, but the FACT is Newton is far from being the top QB in this draft.

Well put! My sentiments exactly!

Difference between looking good in shorts...and looking good while DLinement are trying to take your head off.

Did you actually watch any of the combine todya? Or, are you still just talking out of your ass.

Newton looked TERRIBLE with his throws. His accuracy and consistency was bad.

Combine that with the fact that he has NEVER shown the ability to read defenses adn go through progressions in the passing game, mean that he is a HUGE project.

He is the flavor of the year....plain and simple. He is YEARS away from being anywhere ready to start in the NFL.

Everyone was raving how fast and athletic he is. Well, his 40 time was only 2 one-hundreths faster than Gabbert.

But, the newton net-huggers will come out with a new reason that a raw athlete should be taken #1. Pathetic.

[mav1234]

Cam Newton really could be something special.... but the reality is so could a number of the quarterbacks in this draft.

But do we really want to invest our #1 in could be? Sure, there's risk at every position and with every player, but the more transition time a player needs the more time imo there is for a screw up.

I dunno. I do like the upside on both Newton and Gabbert. Hell, I like Gabbert quite a bit. But I wouldn't take him first overall, and nor would I take Newton.

[csx]

Settle down Francis. You must be listening and comprehending with your ass because I don't want a QB with the first pick. Somebody needs to remind you dorks that nobody here has any decision making power so there is no need to get all bitchy and whiney about it.
