Narrowing down the #1 Pick

[TheRealDeal]

Actually, a lot of teams do script the first 15 or so plays. That's not the point though and you know it. When they get to the games, they have already been throwing the same routes to the same receivers 50 times a day in practice, which is all scripted:rolleyes:.

I think you are over estimating how much time they get practicing these routes but okay. I also think you are underestimating how much these routes change in game time based on different things but okay.

Cammy Cam and the Carolina Cams will probably win the next 10-12 SBs :patriot:

[monstercat]

pretty sure he meant scripted as in highlighting what he does well and disquising what he doesn't

Well they only threw about 3 different routes at the Combine, and one of them was a simple go route, so what are they going to leave out of their pro days that they did at Indy?

It's hurting your Cam case that you have to bash the other QB for things that aren't real.

Each has their own positives and negatives. Just because you don't know what Gabbert's are, doesn't mean you get to take something that isn't true and post it in every thread.

The only thing you need to do to make Gabbert look bad is show his game tape to the person you're arguing with.

Yes, I know that in some schemes, the WR and the QB both have to adjust the route and the throw based on what the defense does

. What does that have to do with a pro day though? From what I've seen, QB's show a lot more variety during their pro days than what I saw at the combine. In fact, I was disappointed because I had never watched it before and I was under the impression that the QB's actually had passing drills designed for them, but that's not what happened. They threw a few simple routes against air and that was it.

How many SBs would we win with Volek, Moore, or Clausen???

[Lout]

How many college run-first QBs have won the super bowl lately? I'd take my chances with the pocket passer in Gabbert.

Volek 1

Moore 3

Jimmy 17 :D

Fine, let's draft Gabbert then. As long as we get our franchise QB really soon, I don't care who it is.

[thunderraiden]

He was pretty accurate. his problem is revamping his entire throwing motion. Otherwise he would be a first round pick IMO. But his mechanical issues are greater than Cam's which is mostly footwork. I would like to have seen Gabbert take 5 step drop throws like Cam did at the combine because he is going to have a similar learning curve in that regard.

Mallett is a beast and he will go in the first round. As long as he isn't addicted to coke he could be a really good QB. If he reaches his potential he could be a player like Brett Favre. He will wow you with his arm and make you smack your forehead at least twice a game just like Favre.

Gabbert has practiced 3-5-and-7 step drops the last 6 years in his off time.

What the analysts might not know is that Gabbert, from the age of 15, has been tutored in pro-style passing by a personal quarterback coach named Skip Stitzell.

A 61-year-old who never played past high school, Stitzell has been a regular on the major quarterback camp circuit, working with prospects such as Matt Ryan, Matthew Stafford and, on an extensive basis, Josh Freeman.

When Gabbert was in high school, Stitzell often drove the 100-plus miles from his home north of Columbia, Mo., for training sessions with Gabbert at Hammer’s facility. During Gabbert’s college years, he spent hundreds of hours — during nonpractice periods for the Tigers — on Stitzell’s home turf a half-hour from campus in tiny Fayette.

“He was always working on three-step, five-step and some seven-step drops from under center,” Stitzell says. “We were keeping him in position for the NFL. Some of these (spread) guys, they go five years of college without doing any of it. Blaine is very good with mechanics, very good with footwork. He’s got an NFL-style arm, can make all the throws, has the size and athleticism. And then there’s the best part: his mentality, his drive, his focus. Nobody wants this more than Blaine.”

There's no way to know.

Well, they could do a workout like Cam did for the media and throw to guys who are barely jogging and not throw any out routes.

[monstercat]

The thing is...I know why I had never heard of Newton before last season, but why wasn't anybody talking about Gabbert before last year, when he was already an experienced div. 1 starting QB? I wish I had seen him play more, because I just don't know what makes him special on the football field.

At least he had guys simulating defense that day, and I thought those WR's were running just as fast as some of the one's I saw at the combine. In fact, Sterling kept commenting over and over how some of the fast 40 guys looked slow in their drills when they had to change directions, and some of them weren't even running the routes the right way, or adjusting to the passes the right way. In fact, most of those combine drills were designed for the QB to throw it over the outside shoulder to make it harder on the WR's but they weren't doing it...those were usually completed though, which is what some folks seem to think is important.

The combine guys were actually participating in the combine at the time.Just stop, seriously.
