I think this article should temper your expectations of a "Pro-Day" -He still looked awkward dropping back and throwing it.

http://www.nationalfootballpost.com/Why-Blaine-Gabberts-pro-day-doesnt-mean-anything.html

However, the biggest concern I have watching him on tape is his overall feel and instincts in the pocket. He’s a guy who doesn’t look real comfortable any time he feels a rush and fails to consistently step up and buy time for himself in the pocket. He also prematurely drops his eye level and will flush himself backward out of the pocket.

Didn't see any article from the National Football Post. However 19 threads bout the Gabbert hype machine is way too much but this is a good article that expresses concerns that are there from the regular season and career despite the pro day.

but 500 about the newton hype machine is ok?

Thanks for the link. It's like 6:25 am and I rather enjoyed getting a new link on the first page of a thread rather than sifting through insurmountable pages of garbage in the other thread. Cam can get a thousand threads and Yo Gabba only gets a mega thread, half of which people are talking about Cam anyways... I appreciate it. Thanks and don't worry if some posters are eager to come across as dicks instead of actually reply to a significant and new thread.

Also, the part where it said he's a 2nd round talent does scare me. This time last year, Jimmy was a first round taken and potential top ten pick. Maybe Gabbert is destined for the same slide, and as Jimmy showed, maybe for good reason too. No doubt the tools are there, as with Jimmy, but pocket awareness is KEY. also, it's important to be a real winner in college.

Peterson or Dareus, there's no sense in reaching for any of these QB's with the # 1 overall pick.

if you think that a guy can be your franchise's guy, then I don't believe that it's possible to "reach" for a QB. most important position on the field. if you believe that that player can be your franchise QB, then draft him.

You can't take every writer as gospel or you'll end up being pulled in a different direction every time you read a different article.

I missed where Gabbert wasn't a winner in college... Didn't he have like a 23-6 record or something... Sounds like a winner to me.

Could have gone to about any school he wanted and decided to stay home and go to a bad/average team. Nothing wrong with that.

      Passing yards per game leaders

      I mean it's not even like this was his worst game of the season... I'm not done with him by any means but this feels more the norm for him than the exception:/

      BREAKING: Panthers Announce Four Moves Including LB Trevin Wallace To IR

      By mav1234 · Posted

      I'd give it a C mainly because of Brooks.  If we just didn't have a 2nd I'd argue B to B+ tbh. Brooks was a bad gamble, tho one that could still pay off long term. Yes XL only has 400 yards but... Look who is throwing him the ball. And I think he isn't a "true #1" but he's been able to consistently get open. Hands definitely need to be cleaned up.  But he should end the year with 500-600 yards. Like you said - Sanders looks great.  Get him a better QB / more time with a QB and I think he's gonna impress. We added a couple rotational players on D that have both made plays and show promise for the future from later rounds. So I'd say, Brooks really hurts this drafts grade. It'll be interesting to see how it progresses over the next 3 years. I've overall really liked Morgan's FA acquisitions, so...

      Would you trade Ickey

      Oh he would absolutely flourish. It’s the panthers way. It’s no different with coaches. Sometimes they reach their expiration date, go somewhere else, and find new success.  Similarly to Burns, how long to wait for the light to finally turn on?  Market forces will demand a salary that the panthers can not responsibly match. Sliding him to guard will fit his skill set better, but he has played LT for 3 years. He will receive offers from other teams wanting to pay him LT money.  At guard, he won’t start with what they have paid Hunt and Lewis. Center then?? Dunno. Maybe? He will become a backup by default once they draft their stud LT. I doubt Dan just stands pat. That’s not his MO.  So where does this put him? Can you match what other teams will offer for a backup LT/guard? Do you dish out franchise LT $ on a guy who still needs significant improvement in pass protection. This team will be DOA in the playoffs with the very first team who has a formidable speed rusher. What if he has hit his ceiling in pass protection already and they sign him long term? It’s a big gamble either way.
