How do GM's avoid a "Gabbert"? and its relation to Caldwell/2014 draft

#8

Quote:So how does this relate to the current draft? Is there a "Gabbert" amongst the 2014 class? No, because most of the top 3-4 QB selections all do not have elite measurables. Bridgewater has height and frame issues, Bortles has height and arm issues, Manziel has height and arm issues. None of them are damning but not exactly "elite". Bridgewater's mechanics are the most sound but it won't matter if he can't last through an entire NFL season. Same with Manziel with his run and gun style.
Incorrect for the most part. Yes, Teddy has a skinny frame, but doesn't take unnecessary hits. Manziel does not have arm issues what so ever. It's more so his playing style and that if he'll be able to withstand a 16 game NFL season running around like he does. If a GM thinks he can, he'll be a fine prospect. Bortles is 6'4 230 pounds. Wheres the height or size issue? His throws don't as as much zip as they used to due solely on him have a bad base when throwing the ball, which is correctable. Watch his tape from the 2012 season, he has an above average arm. QB fear is real.
