Schefter on No.1 Pick

[Lords0fPain]

To bad he (Gab) didn't throw...but guess thats o.k. ?

The the guy (Cam) that did throw, a QB coach can review the tape and see what and how quick is can be fixed.

One has some issues yes, but the other is basically a "?" (because he was scared to throw).

Sorry, have more respect for the guy (Cam) who put it on the line...

Not sure what you're on about. The recent trend in the draft has been QB's going high and being very successful.

Errr what???? Russell and Stafford????

Oh come on. Plenty of quarterbacks don't throw at the combine. As long as he does at his pro day it hardly matters.

Likewise, it doesn't really matter that much that Newton didn't look great at the combine. The non-physical tests were much more important for him. EVERYONE knew he needed work. However, his Auburn proday does hold some import because it'll be another chance for him to show improvement.

If you look at QBs in the top 20 (which is where I think Newton and Gabbert will go and possibly Locker or Mallet) it has been pretty positive the last few years. Sure, Stafford can't stay on the field and Russell can't stay in the league, but other than them quarterbacks have done well.

Where did you hear these things, Lout?

Rich Eisen or Mike Mayock said it on Sunday during the combine. I was watching NFL network. His official Wonderlic score has not been released yet, but I would assume it's 30+.

Accuracy maybe

Strength ? Not even close.

It's actually a common misconception that Newton has elite arm strength. I can see how people might think he has a great arm because he has huge guns, but it's inaccurate.

Most scouts say Newton has "Very Good Arm Strength". Gabbert has exceptional arm strength and the quickest release in this draft by far.

Thanks, I'll see if I can find it.

You're even more positive about Gabbert than I am. ;)
