Blaine Gabbert and Christian Ponder Chalk talk

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.

    • 100% even if rest of team is really talented if they march young out to be qb and he plays like he has for 90% of his starts the panthers have already lost doesnt even matter how good the rest of the team is or isnt and also makes it hard to even tell how good they are.  They need true competition for young this offseason.  
    • It will be awesome to have an improved stadium to lose in I guess....   https://www.yahoo.com/news/panthers-file-rezoning-bank-america-111500840.html     The Carolina Panthers have taken another necessary step toward renovating their home of the present and future. Panthers Stadium, LLC, filed its rezoning site plan with the city of Charlotte on Monday, initiating an important — if mostly technical — step toward renovating Bank of America Stadium. The filings state that the rezoning relates “primarily to technical aspects associated with improvements to Bank of America Stadium,” and that the rezoning is required because “the current stadium zoning is out of date” for the team’s stadium renovation plans.   The planned stadium updates include new seats installed throughout the upper and lower bowls; stadium safety and security enhancements; a reimagined South Lawn Pavilion; upgraded restrooms; exterior enhancements (including LED video boards) and more. Planning for the stadium renovation project will continue through 2025, with construction starting in 2026 and the renovation’s conclusion in 2029, The Observer previously reported.
    • In my dream, we somehow luck into a top 2 pick and someone wants a QB bad and doesn’t want anyone else to jump them. Somehow we’ll probably screw up the picks anyway, but it would be nice to do even partially what Chicago did to us. We’d have to lose out, which is a decent possibility unless Tampa is resting. We need Atlanta to stay within a game because Atlanta beat Tampa twice. The rest of the draft slots are who knows because Jax plays the Raiders and then Tennessee and you never know who will rest starters. I think we are top 7 unless we somehow pull out 2 more wins. The 4 win teams have higher SOS and there is only one 5 win team with the same SOS. If we win 1 of 3, we still should stay in top 7. If we lose out and the Jax games work for us, we can easily be top 3.
