Perspective on Blaine Gabbert

[teeray]

gabbert comes to nebraska instead of bailing in 2007 after callahan got fired and we win the 2009 national championship outright.

True story.

And 2010

This is why agent or no agent he should have thrown at the combine. If we had seen that, maybe he would be at the top of the heap. Doesn't sound like a bad choice at all really.

I think he made the right choice. The experts claimed that Cam had nothing to lose by throwing at the combine, but some of them proceeded to bash him over the head with a couple of missed throws after he did it.

Blaine just needs to have himself a good pro day and he will be in great shape.

BTW, they did a nice little feature on Gabbert last night (NFL Network) and I was impressed. The more I hear about this kid, the more he's growing on me. I still don't think Cam is out of the question though. He can help himself a lot today too.

Gabbert comes to Nebraska instead of bailing in 2007 after Callahan got fired and we win the 2009 National Championship outright.

True story.

there's a good chance Nebraska would have been more in the discussion actually, and Gabbert's draft stock would probably have been higher.

As for Nebraska/TT, they were pretty bad. I personally think he worked a bit on dealing with pressure after those games. They followed a couple of very good games too, which is too bad. Past prospects have had similar concerns about reacting to pressure coming out and still gone very high in the draft and seemed to work it out, so I think Gabbert can too, especially if he is as committed to football as he seems.

We lost 3 games by a combined point total of 4 points that year.

Anyways, people don't seem to realize what a crap-ass program Missouri is and what a joke of a coach Pinkel is. He should never have gone to Missouri, and after Christensen left to go to Wyoming, things got even worse for them offensively. He's a much better player than he showed. Is he the #1 overall pick? I don't think so, but in this draft, who's to say anyone else should be before him?

Yeah, Pinkel is not that good of a coach. At all. Blaine would never admit it, but maybe that's why he kept learning the pro-style throughout college under Stitzell (Beyond of course learning about QB-ing in the NFL / improving his footwork, dropbacks, & throwing motion)

Through what I've read and seen, I just think Gabbert wants it the most out of any of the QBs in this draft and that means something to me at least.

I could tell by the way he competed at the combine :rolleyes:

[Carolina Husker]

Yeah, that really hurt his stock.

yeah because working out at the combine has everything to do with wanting to win and be great at the quarterback position.

None of Condon's first rounders ever work out. If he has a good pro day it won't matter.

Yeah, that really hurt his stock.

sarcasm? :P

I might buy ticket and hop on the Blaine Train.

Just to get this straight, I'm doing this so people actually understand Gabbert as a player, leader, and student b/c it has been pretty damn hard to find highlights and info on him beyond the typical pre-draft mumbojumbo. Like I said, I'm not endorsing him for number one but just trying to open some eyes to his experience and history ;)

It could have been CAM-like and his stock would have dropped.

Everything you talk about is going to be attacked by the nut-huggers unless it embraces Cam. Kinda sad.

About Gabbert--I see why drafting a QB is so hard. He has the measurables, but I hate him on film.

I smell bust in him.

[Grammer]

he's even worse than cam
