I agree, i was kind of shocked.. i didn't know there was so much in the X's and O's.

Honestly, that's a pretty small sample.

These guys have to know all the ins and outs of every play in a playbook with pages in triple digits, and they have to process what to do in each situation with less than three seconds before a huge defensive end flattens them, often in hostile territory with several thousand screaming fans trying to disrupt them.

Dumb jocks? Not so much these days.

Gabbert was impressive handling Mariucci's quesitions, but I was impressed with Ponder's fakes, his balance.

Funny, I have been following Gabbert on Twitter to see if he will give away something. He and Ponder are very good friends, constantly in touch. Gabbert's younger brother is on there a lot, and there is another big time prospect who interacts with them, I just cannot remember who it is. I would be happy with Ponder in the second.

If nothing else, I came away with the belief that Gabbert has ALL of the tools needed to be a pro qb in the NFL and be successful.... it's just a matter of him being able to put it all together.

Mariucci pointed out the happy feet and Gabbert understands he needs to stay in the pocket.

By the way, the first throw, rolling to his left, was money.

Absolutely. Being right handed, rolling to his left, being able avoid the rush, square his shoulders, AND THEN make the perfect pass through traffic in the back of the endzone for a TD. Doesn't get much more difficult for a QB and he made it look easy.

JJ Watt, Ponder, AJ Green (I think) and Gabbert are all friends IRL. They did their pre-draft workouts with the same people. Ponder and Gabbert got really close.

On twitter, Gabbert talks about hanging out with JJ Watt, Ponder, and his brother all the f'ing time, which is crazy since I swear they're all in different states, lol.

      Dave Tepper gives Canales and Dan Morgan vote of confidence

      By electro's horse · Posted

      Here comes Frankw and his pathetic little persecution complex to claim I have a personal vendetta against one of the worst performing coaches in the league if anything I should love Canales because he’s walking proof that through the lord all things AREN'T possible.  This kind of performance is exactly what you’d expect from someone who filled the building with misunderstood Bible quotes about iron forging iron and inspired speeches about how he apologized for his infidelity by buying his wife a book deal.  once more into the breech dear friends, just like when I paid a stripper for an above the pants hand job in Orlando.

      Has this game changed feelings about Young?

      By PNW_PantherMan · Posted

      As dumb as it probably sounds, we should have won that game.  Defense was bad but Bryce should have been better.  Pass rush isn't a good enough excuse.

      Dave Tepper gives Canales and Dan Morgan vote of confidence

      By frankw · Posted

      You and I both know there isn't a coach we could or can still hire that can "fix" Bryce Young. Even at mighty Alabama with one of the best modern coaches in college football history Mac Jones was still a better QB than Bryce Young. Mac Jones.... We already know how you feel about Canales on a personal level so in that regard you wanting him fired is not news. You don't have to disguise it behind this shroud of rabble about not fixing Bryce Young. To his credit he somehow had us competive against the Chiefs and the Eagles on the road with #9. But no coaching staff can overcome their starting QB turning the ball over 4 times. We definitely have developed some of our younger offensive pieces. And as far as Evero goes he has earned criticism and if he's fired so be it but in his defense many of us said in the offseason this defensive roster was a disaster waiting to happen given the resources we spent on the offense while neglecting the defense. That was Dan Morgan's plan. He swung too hard toward offense to salvage the Bryce Young trade. That's on him. We can scream about XL all we want but at least he's actually been on the field for the most part. The Brooks pick was a luxury pick at the time and now it is a Hurney level blunder. Dan Morgan has gotten a lot of early praise here when in reality he's unequivocally deserving of significant criticism. But if you say that some people get up in arms because he's a former Panther. Big whoop. He has just as much to prove this upcoming season as Canales. That's why to me in my own personal opinion I say one more season and then if it's more of the same say goodbye to both.
