Cam Newton or Blaine Gabbert?

[Mooche]

This is going to be one hot topic as we continue to move forward to April.


So.


Who do you guys like more moving to the pros, and if the Panthers do snag a QB, who do you guys think the best option is for them?

 

[RipCity32]

Neither. I don't feel like either of them are can't miss.

 

[Mooche]

Neither. I don't feel like either of them are can't miss.

Of course neither of them are can't miss. I don't feel either of them are basically first overall selection grades, but basing the comparison, who would you rather have leading your football team moving forward?

There is a realistic chance one of these guys are holding up a Carolina Panthers uniform. There is a chance.

 

[RipCity32]

Probably Cam Newton if I HAD to pick one.
As a fan, I'd be much more excited with Cam Newton than Gabbert.
Gotta make the fans happy.

Talent wise though, meh.

 

[playmaker7]

Gotta go with Cam. He has more athleticism and I believe his skill will somehow translate into the NFL despite what everyone says

 

[DJT]

If I had to pick one, I'd go with Gabbert. And yes that is mainly because i'm a BAMA fan.

 

[footballplaya52]

Blaine Gabbert. cam potentially brings more drama with him.

 

[TTN2810]

Gabbert. He's gonna be a good one.

Gabbert

 

[Mooche]

I really don't know what you guys see in Blaine...

 

[elcheato]

I'd take Blaine over Cam.. He's got a quick release, strong arm and good short-mid range accuracy. Also he isn't given enough credit for how athletic he is.

 

[Brutalis]

Cam = dud. College QB nothing more. Dude should shift that talent and throwing the ball 100mph into some accuracy.

Gabbert, easy.

I like the guys that don't lick popularities ass.

He says that he has terrible footwork, as displayed against us whenever he made an 8 yard drop instead of 9, which lead to the pocket collapsing on him and he overthrew a pass that would have been a TD

Next was a lack of urgency in his backpedal. It took him 2.1 seconds on one play-action pass to actually start to look upfield.

Lastly, he doesn't step into passes to avoid conflict.

Joyner ends with

"Whether or not those comments come with a Tebow-like case of buyer's remorse will depend on if that team was foolish enough to invest a first-round pick on Newton's potential."

We know, we know.

"If it ain't Mallett, I ain't listening"

Gabbert, easy.

Your boy Ryan Mallett could use the same exact advice, my friend..


The hilarious thing about this Gabbert hype is all his "production." Cam Newton played in a running offense apparently, but take a look at his numbers..

Gabbert had 16 TDs and 9 INTs last season. The guy actually slowed down his production heading into his Junior year.

He's the product of a system, and it's quite clear, look at these guys like Chase Daniel who have gone through Missouri and put up BIG time numbers -- more impressive overall from Chase compared to Blaine.

As for some things to chew on, for the potential elite QB in this Draft, look how he was against the Nation in some categories.
