Quote:It depends on the type of pocket issues they have. If it is like Carr's where he rushes and his footwork disappears with pressure up the middle, I think that can be fixed with time and experience. The phantom pressure and inability to feel the rush like Blaine and Garoppolo...people don't overcoming that typically. 

 

What you're really saying is that there are two issues, one is the lack of pocket presence that someone like Gabbert shows where he literally has no ability to understand where the rush will be coming from and move in the pocket appropriately and the kind of lack of pocket presence someone has when they don't deal well with pressure from certain places. I'm not confident that either kind can be fixed. Gabbert's problem may have been fear. He very well could have understood the schemes and the methods involved in dealing with them but just couldn't execute when the time came.

 

It's a problem for the evaluators to solve. Is a guy just not understanding something which he possibly could be taught, or does he understand and just wets his pants every time its time to perform?
