Sorry if this was posted, Mayock weighs in:

"He's my No. 1 quarterback, and to me he's the one quarterback in the draft who, if you've got to bang the table for a franchise quarterback, he's the guy,'' NFL Network draft analyst Mike Mayock said after Gabbert's workout. "The kid confirmed everything you want to see in a franchise quarterback. I thought he did as good as he could have. His footwork was real clean. His arm was real accurate, and his arm strength was great.''

This reminds me of the Matt Ryan situation, Gabbert almost has to be the pick if we want to turn the franchise around. Unless you trade down.

Bullshit. Those BC teams SUCKED. Without Ryan, they would've been awful teams. He WAS that team. I hated when the Falcons drafted Ryan because I knew they'd just acquired a damn good QB.

The media hype storm has emerged just as I thought it would. he did good but honestly the media types telegraphed this the last 5 days. And had people declaring win 5 throws into his day.

I thought he did well but from what i saw it wasn't the greatest display that has ever been seen. He was 44-49 and at least 3 of him "completions" were bad throws. I am not buying into It just yet. i think people are trying to generate buzz on this guy because they had him so highly rated.

I hate saying that but they act like he torched the stadium and from what I saw that is false.

The NFL scouts that have been quoted have not been nearly as enthusiastic as some of these media guys.

But I really don't want to take away from the kid. He did a really good job. :)

If they draft Gabbert I'll never buy his jersey cuz his last name makes me cringe :D

That's fine, I have a better idea for marketing Blaine Gabbert if we draft him...

Official Blaine Gabbert Wigs

That being said, I think we'd be better off drafting someone at another position and winning games. But hey, wigs are okay too.

You're right, I think Mayock and Brandt have been the most enthusiastic about it, but they're in the media. Check the SI article I posted earlier to see some responses by two offensive coordinators and Banks' informal poll. It seems most of the actual team personnel WERE impressed, though how impressed varied from "good" to "amazing." Which seems to be about the level of media variance too, albeit a bit more on the "HE IS SOOOOO AWESOME" level.

I'd say that he had a good day. Maybe he wasn't Cam Newton, but at least he has the hair on his side. ;)

No doubt the kid get an A++ on his hair. He had a good day no doubt. I don't mind drafting him. I really trust our guys to make a good decision, even if they pass on QB.
