Re: Blaine Gabbert is on
I've seen him play a few times after X started pimpin him.
He seems like an overall good prospect but there are a few things that concern me including the spread offense they run alnost exclusively, his hitch windup, he is accurate...but he is not required to throw much downfield, mostly short passes, numbers are just meh, average athletically.
I wouldn't take him in the first.

Re: Blaine Gabbert is on
Talent, but he absolutely folds under pressure. He doesn't stand strong when the pressure is coming at him and based on how he even flinches away from contact while releasing the ball I don't see that changing. I'll pass.

Re: Blaine Gabbert is on
So, the pick was unacceptable. You just don't make that throw. And usually he doesn't. He tried to force something and made a horrible choice. His decision making is usually very good. He did show he can move the chains and find open guys yet again in this game. As far as mobility, the TD run should show you that he has some wiggle. He's not Vick, but he's not Bledsoe either. As far as arm strength, the guy is just a touch below elite. He can throw anywhere on the field and has a quick release as you have seen.

Re: Blaine Gabbert is on
I recorded the game and watched this morning.
Gabbert has lots to work with. Quick, compact release. Sets his feet well. Accurate. Scans the field well. Finds the TE often (Bills need one badly), Sometimes takes off too soon and doesn't progress throuh his reads like he should.. but many college QB's do that.
He nullified a great night by throwing a bad INT at the end of the first half and a horrid one with his team up by 4 with 6 minutes left in the game, which was returned for the winning TD. That throw should have gone into the stands.
I watch 10 times more college than pro. I'm guessing this is the 4th Mizzou game I've viewed this season and Gabbert has NFL skill sets, little question. What the scouts need to determine is poise. Last night wasn't the first time he's pressed in tight games and made questionable throws. For me, that's a biggie but I could still see scouts viewing him in a very favorable light. He's a Junior being evaluated and maybe a 2nd -3rd round talent if he comes out ? I'll leave that up to the professional scouts, not pretenders named Kiper or McShay.
BTW- I see a couple people going on and on about Ryan Mallet. He choked badly against Alabama when the game got tight and reminds me far too much of Bledsoe. His poise is highly questionable in crunch time, stats aside. Not a fan.Anonymity is an abused privilege, abused most by people who mistake vitriol for wisdom and cynicism for wit

Re: Blaine Gabbert is on
The pick 6 is exactly what I want to see Gabbert go back to school and work on. In big games he tries to do much and he is susceptible to forcing balls late when down. He's a good QB who could be great next year.
Put on a clinic last night and was sad to see it dampened by the last pick but you can't make that throw no matter what and its not the first time he's done that. Right now he's a borderline first rounder, goes back to school shows he can be more clutch and he's a top 10 pick.COMING SOON...
