Gabbert has great memory..

Go watch Gruden's QB camp with Gabbert... then tell me Mayock isn't blowing smoke.

Mayock calls it like he see's it. He has a reputation to protect. He is widely seen around the league as the best analyst on TV when it comes to film dedication, etc.

oh noes, a quarterback who had bad games in college, unleash the hounds! he can't do anything ahhh get rid of him !!!

He had good games against good opponents, too.

Nobody is saying he had a better college season than Cam Newton.

[blackcatgrowl]

did you even WATCH the clip?? He was concerned about Gabbert's explosiveness compared to arguably the best quarterback in the game. He wasn't saying "your footwork is horrible!" he was saying, "You've shown you can take snaps under center, now I want to see you use your explosive athleticism in the way I know you can, 'cause look at what Manning can do when getting away from center."

Yeah, I watched every minute of it.

FF to 2:08:

Gruden: "What you got a little left knee crouched below the right. Left foot back behind the right."

That was was a ding on footwork from under center. The same arguments against Newton... cept Gabbert really does have a problem.

I just want to add that I'm not sold on Gabbert just like I'm not sold on Newton...

I mean, if we were going to line up 50 cards each week and ask Gabbert to guide us to victory by matching at least 13 pairs, then I would be on his bandwagon...

And you accuse people who don't like Cam Newton of overblowing issues, holy crap lol.

Nobody says Gabbert's footwork *is perfect," but you are blowing what he said out of proportion. He was trying to point out how Gabbert can get more explosiveness. His footwork is developed enough he can actually refine it for more power now.

Not bad pitiful.

That was commentary, not criticism. He also said "size 16 shoes...hat on backwards...". All just observations.

Gruden's criticism didn't start till after he pulled away. He felt it wasn't quick enough.

Marriucci also made note of the fact that he uses a staggered stance as opposed to both feet side by side. It's a different approach and considered a positive because it allows for guys to step back quicker. But in this case, Gabbert didn't. Hence the complaint.

Footwork is a major component of under-center explosiveness. If you're tripping over yourself, or not picking up your feet, you aren't going to get where you need to be to play the ball.

And what part of "Take all the arguments against Newton, and apply them to Gabbert, except he didn't execute" do you not understand?

I've been talking about execution. Something Gabbert lacked that cost his team games.

If only Gabbert was black

Just about the right age for Grits' avatar...

:D

Pretty much this.

But I'm over having read thread after thread of Newton haters pump this dude up, when there are serious issues with him.

Gabbert is the The Golden Calf of Bristol of this draft. Not Newton.

No. Gabbert's 'steps' were all correct, i.e., footwork. The speed at which he can do the steps can be increased.
