Perspective on Blaine Gabbert

[MHS831]

Blaine Gabbert sounds like a quirky nfl name that can work. Cam newton has a better feel to it but it may be too normal and fall short. Gabbert is such a crazy soundiing name it might work.

Ha. Isn't it weird when you start saying the names that will either be synonomous with great QBs (Unitas, Montana, Manning, Brady) or with the great busts of all time (Jamarcus, Leaf, Akili).

Greatest QB Names of all time:

Joe Montana (Kinda like Indiana Jones of football)

Bart Starr (What a great name for the QB that won the 1st 2 super bowls)

Boomer Esiason (Not great, but love the name)

Johnny Unitas (sounds like an airline--unite us)

like i've said before, if we draft him, i will not be completely disappointed based on pun potential alone.

while I probably count as a Gabbert nuthugger despite not wanting to draft him #1 (since I like him more than Cam Newton), I was impressed with what I've seen of his footwork.

I do not think he will have trouble making the jump to NFL reads either. It is possible he is a bit less of a project than I thought, but I'd still rather go D, even though the idea of drafting offense is "exciting."

I agree. Trade down three or four spots if you can. If Gabbert is there, take him. If not, Peterson, Dareus, Fairley, etc would be a pretty good consolation prize if we get a second rounder.

I do not see Hurney taking a huge risk on Cam. I would not put my career on the line for CN.

Gabbert is safe. He has more DI experience, he is very smart, and he can do anything Cam can do. No baggage. I say we will take him #1.

I would not be surprised if Rivera wanted Newton, Hurney did not, so we went for defense. I don't see us taking Gabbert. Perhaps it's all the Charlotte media getting to me, though. They don't care at all about Gabbert.
