[quote=warriorzpath;786113]I have to also disagree with dirtbag's assessment of Gabbert's mobility and use of it. Watching that film, I didn't feel that he handles pressure well, but I feel the same about Locker and Newton.

I don't know if they learn that skillset once they get to the NFL, but from the little film that I've watched most times all 3 seem to tuck tail and run when they feel pressure.[/quote]

I've seen Gabbert play quite a bit and dude is great..... When he stands all day BUT once that pocket caves he makes horrible decisions and isn't very accurate deep down field, has a good upside because he has a big arm but so does Mallett. I'm sticking with my guns And saying Locker will be the best QB of this draft.. Dalton is the sleeper QB with Ponder

Jaime Dukes on NFL Network said something I agree about Cam Newton today, Cam needs to go to a coaching staff that is willing to alter their system to Cam's strengths. Otherwise Cam is a project. If his new team does this he might be a decent day one starter. But if they do not it will take a year or two or he might never be a great player in the NFL.
Since the Shanahan's have shown they are about as flexible as Moammar Gadhafi, in changing their system for others, Washington is not the place for Cam Newton.

that's a good point, but at the same time could be applicable to any no. of qb's every year. No matter how flexible the coaching staff, Cam will still have to deal w/a steep learning curve. Just as much or more so as coaching to the qb's strengths, being on a good team is what allows rookie qb's to play well, like Big Ben, Flacco & Ryan. It's unlikely he'll be on a good team though.

Keep him away from Kyle.

Dallas has been high on cam for a while now, romo isn't getting any younger so it kind of makes sense to draft him and sit for a year or 2. I've also heard they really like Ryan Mallett

If the Cowgirls get Cam, it will bite us in the ass twice a year!

I really don't see what everyone else sees in Jake Locker.

Typical offseason cowpoke headline - they (or just JJ) can create a 'story' out of simple due diligence in draft preparations. Sure, they may have legitimate interest, or this could be like the skins talking to JaMarcus Russell & having him work out before the draft.

If you're picking in the top 15 why wouldn't you talk to Cam?

So what do you all think of Gabbert choosing not to throw at the combine?

I doubt the interest is real. It's probably just pre-emptive espionage. IE, our division rival might draft him so lets give him an in depth interview to get an idea of what makes him tick.

I think it hurts him. I def think he will be there at 10. So if Shanny likes him he's ours. I hope we take him.
