Quote:I was. In fact i was suprised he was even being considered a first round pick after lackluster production in an offense the previous QB ( smaller and weaker armed BTW) owned and going 0-2 in bowl games being the center reason for the second loss with a Pic-6 while he team was up with 4 mins left.

 

I honestly had no idea what Kiper and McShay were seeing. That had to be one of the bigges sell jobs ever IMO. Gabbert was quite literally hyped into the top 10 based on his "measurables" and "look of a QB" vs his actual game tape and stats. Somehow Gene was duped right along with everyone but the Redskins who has nobody at QB when they traded with us.

 

Interesting question. Where do you guys think Gabberts goes if we didnt actually select him? I think the Geno Smith effect was going to take place and Gabby was set for a monster drop to the late first / early second. It just seemed like the other top teams in the draft order had figured something out much like with Geno. 

EXACTLY! I said the same exact thing and have been saying the same exact thing. If you saw Gabbert play in college there was NOTHING that stood out that he would be a big time NFL quarterback. I remember looking up Mizzou games during draft time and watching in confusion  as to why he was considered the "best qb" in the draft
