/dev/null Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Blaine Gabbert rattled through math problems so easily as a child, remembering everything from multiplication tables to batting averages, Math problems. Reminds me of a joke How did the mathematician solve his constipation problem? He worked it out with a pencil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffaloed in Pa Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 I`m starting to think Gabbert is the pick . The way Buddy talked about him with Modrak, just made me think he could be the pick. Brooks Reed in the second . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragonborn10 Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 the thing i like about this guy is that he seems to be a lot like ryan fitzpatrick. and i love ryan fitzpatrick. if we draft a QB at #3, i want this guy. that makes almost no sense at all to me, but that's the way i'm looking at it. Going to Harvard did nothing for Fitz's accuracy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T master Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Hopefully he has half the arm that Drew had , but i don't think so !!!

Exactly why I don't really want him. To me he's a version of Ryan Fitzpatrick with a bit more talent. Why spend a number 3 for a guy who is like the guy they already have? Draft a player who can transcend the status quo in the future not be more of the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Barbarian Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 my view of him having a great mind for the game is now confirmed and he should be the obvious choice for us. “I have a joke with Blaine that everyone says he’s going to have to learn to stand under center and do three-, five- and seven-step drops,” Stitzell says by phone from his Fayette home. “No he doesn’t. I think he’s actually better under center than in the gun. He’s got better rhythm and timing. He’s very good at the play-action stuff which you need to do in the NFL.” :thumbsup: the thing i like about this guy is that he seems to be a lot like ryan fitzpatrick. and i love ryan fitzpatrick. if we draft a QB at #3, i want this guy. that makes almost no sense at all to me, but that's the way i'm looking at it. it makes sense, Gabbert has the arm Fitzy doesn't.

ColdBlueNorth Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Eh, nor does he play like him, to me he reminds of Steve Young. Gawd, I hope he doesn't play like him - the days of having a 7-step drop and 4-5 seconds to find an open man are a thing of the past (unless you are facing the Bills pass rush). Also, Drew was about as mobile as a tree. Nice guy, big arm, but not one to sense the pass rush and be elusive. Just the resemblance in the face was bugging me and for me it clicked that his size and features reminded me of Drew - that's all. I argue with my wife all the time when she says this person looks like that person - no biggie. I like Gabbert - I just don't know if I 3rd overall pick like him. There are some safer bets to be made with the defensive prospects at that pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

808 Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 im starting to believe he will be the pick at 3. if dareus and gabbert are both available i think the bills are gonna have a really tough choice to make. as for comparing him to fitz they are about 4 inches different in height and 20lbs in weight. another thing people forget is the 3-4 times a game fitz wings some ball out and it bounces across the ground or 5 feet above someones head. as much as i like him he has just a good chance of regressing as progressing. everyone just assumes hes gonna come out playing better.

K-9 Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 any way to watch online tomorrow? To much work tonight I wish I could help you there. I think there's a link to the ESPN episodes in the other Gruden QB school thread. That might help. As for this segment, it's pretty good so far. Gruden just had Gabbert diagram a basic line coverage for an empty backfield set. Gabbert mentioned that when they played Texas A&M they slid protection to Von Miller's side. Gruden told him to "forget A&M" and diagram something else. He's a bright kid. GO BILLS!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickelCity Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 I've actually surprised myself this year leading up to the draft. I really was against drafting Gabbert, vocally so, but recently have come to see him in a more positive light. Much of the shift has been through watching more film on him, in addition to his work with Terry Shae. Shae was the private coach for Bradford, Stafford, and Freeman. Granted, the Gruden show doesn't tell us much about any of the QBs, and annoys us with Gruden's horrible on-air performances, so I can't really comment on Gabbert's segment on the show.

C.Biscuit97 Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 There's a lot to like about BG. But IMO, his on the field performance leaves me wanting more.

[/quote Daniel had two All-Americans out there (Maclin and Coffman) and some semblance of a running attack. Gabbert had nothing, really. He's got a big arm, and he was the top rated QB in the country coming out of high school. I've said this before. I wouldn't mind the Bills taking Gabbert, but I don't think he should go #3. Maybe top 10. I think they should go for Mallett. He's got great talent, and likes to party. Like Jimbo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That offense is set up for qbs to succeed in. 16 tds in a very down Big 12 is not good. Say what you want to about Newton but he flat out dominated the best conference in college football. It's crazy but I put a lot on on the field performance. BG doesn't measure up IMO. As for Mallett, it's a new NFL. If the media was around in Kelly's day, he probably would have gotten in trouble with the NFL. He was very Big Ben like. You need to worry about this with Mallett.
