Blaine Gabbert's hush hush character issue: underage drinking, fighting

[mav1234]

he's not the most NFL ready, though he is 'more' ready than Newton. Not that it means a ton.

Gabbert's Hair keeps peoples attention off his drunken brawl

If Cam had a huge fro to keep people's eyes focused on rather then his fake smile he would be better off, but he doesn't so you lose this argument.

Because NOOOOOOOOOOOBODY ever drank underage. Everyone in this thread has drank underage, if you say you haven't you're a liar.

Here's an idea. Let's just draft the guy who is a virgin. Football players should be pure.

The Golden Calf of Bristol was drafted last year :[

Being a virgin is probably a bigger character concern than underage drinking.

Guess we shouldn't draft anyone from BYU. The bobcats better not get jimmer fredette.

If ever given the chance I'd take a swing at Tyler Gabbert too.

Personally I don't think any of the off the field issues with Cam or Gabbert are big deals.

Cam....

Cam....Cheated on a test (most college students have).....bought a cheap laptop from another student that he did/did not know was maybe stolen (bad decision, but not a heinous crime).

Gabbert....drank a few beers and got into a fight (hell, even I did that in college)

I believe that the staff is more concerned with how they believe both will transition to the NFL....how both will be as a team mate....the leadership qualities that both exhibit.

I am not sold that either is a franchise guy. But, if our staff believe either is....then I say go get him and let's move forward.

If they have major ??'s about whether either is....I hope they pass on both.

Exactly.

Blaine Gabbert is not a good QB. Nothing he has done in college suggests otherwise.

[KBRed]

The laptop nor cheating really concerns me about Newton's character. The only thing that does that is rarely mentioned is the disobeying of the coach in the national championship game. More of an 'I' before 'you' attitude.

If that is overcome in the interview process along with techniques, he would be a good pick.

I don't have a dog in the fight, so whatever happens, I'll support.
