Seriously, every time I hear him talk about plays or breaking stuff down, i am thoroughly impressed with Gabbert. I watch him do drills and I straight up salivate.

Then I watch Game tape and get concerned.

I don't know what to think of him, even though I like him more than newton. I like how intelligent he is, but i don't like his production. it was said he would succeed in a pro style offense over a gimmicky spread one at mizzou, but who really knows?

Maybe I want him to be a great QB just because he honestly just LOOKS like a great QB should. Good looking kid, big, strong, great hair, smart...

I just hate this draft so damn much.

It's hard not to like.

But my first impression of Gabbert was the next Carr or Leinert, but he's a better guy than that. I really think he's the next Bledsoe.

I really think you might be on to something there. I could really see that happening. Above average QB that had all the potential in the world to be great but could never push it over the edge.

I can see it happening.

Didnt you know, QB is all cerebral, no athleticism or toughness required. The best & most classiest NFL QBs come from the ivy league. Soon as defenses see their helmet size and how large their brains are they become frightened!!! RAAAARRR!!! RAAAAR!!! LMAO!!!

Yeah, I'm sure Tom Brady could win a decathlon :rolleyes:

Agreed, except I don't think Gabbert is more pro-ready than Newton mentally and probably never wil be. He might be smarter than Newton and memorize playbooks faster, but if he hesitates on the field that won't matter.

I could have phrased that better. Gabbert will pick up the lingo easier, and maybe the playbook, just because he is starting out ahead in that department.

As to the mental aspects on the field, I would take Newton's decision making in a heartbeat.

I've read numerous reports where NFL personnel people are pretty sure Gabbert's going to be a good quarterback.

The problem is, they're not convinced he'll be one of the greats. That's why he shouldn't go #1, according to many of them. Because if you take a QB at #1, you're looking for more than just good.

I will agree with this completely and say that is the reason I have said numerous times I have no problem with Newton being the pick as long as the F.O. does their homework and feels he can help the team win games. I don't want a guy to sell tickets....unless he's selling playoff tickets....

I hear you C42, and couldn't agree more.

Agree. That's who I think of too.

I would not be severely disappointed if we took him over Newton, but there just seems to be something missing...fire, or competitiveness or something.

He is just a lot more laid back than I like to see. Think about Brady and Manning and Rivers. Any of those guys would sell their mothers for a quality win.

I guess he was one hell of a runner :rolleyes:

If running is the right decision, then run.

Joe freakin Montana said (paraphrasing) "...if a defense gives you an open field and you thimk you can run without getting hurt, then run."

Right. I think as fans, we would like Gabbert alot and expect alot, but be patiently frustrated with him because he never accomplishes anything, but still like him even when we never accomplish anything because how can you not like the guy? And we would eventually be relieved to be rid of him.

      High look overview...

      By musicman · Posted

      Start with Bryce, this is like his rookie year. The 1st 2 games proved her was wired wrong and it looks like (we hope) he needed a time out to reset and be the player that was drafted. He's still about a year or more away from being a top 15 QB, if the Panther give him another playmaker or 2 (a top WR and a decent TE) and maintain that line. Canales deserves credit as playing that card correctly to motivate (or refocus) his QB for one last shot to decide his and the Panthers immediate future. As a Panther fans we should hope he keeps improving as we invested so much to get him. CJ Stroud will never have a season like he had, even if he stays a top 10 QB. He's got great character so I'm rooting for Bryce to continue on his positive journey. Canales is playing the week to week thing with bryce perfectly. Nothings guaranteed, earn it weekly which builds consistency and consistency is greatness.  Keep the O-line. They've got to extend Brady C, along with Mayes that have a real good 7. Great job Morgan starting with the big guys upfront.  I really hope they draft a DE or OLB in the 1st round. Getting Brown back with A Robinson and what DJ has shown that we can have a decent D-line. Need a CB in the early rounds/ or a time FA to go with Horn.  The future as to next year being good enough to challenge for the division is within reach. Just show progress (win or lose) every week. Kudos to Dan Morgan. Plays GM like a LB. Tackle the problem and move on, don't just hope it works out. Find guys with your playing mentality and work closely with your HC to share a vision. Teamwork starts at the top and flows down.

      Canes vs Panthers(Back to Back Games Thread)

      By Panthers Fan 69 · Posted

      Since we play the Panthers today and tmrw, we will have one gigantic double thread for both games. Today’s game is at 3pm and tmrw is 7pm.    After beating the Rangers and sending the those yankee bastards back to Cary, we get the Champs in the house.  Clean up the defense, no more lazy clears, and score baby score.  LFG CANES!
