whats comical is how everyone tries to project which QB's will turn out in the NFL, and which will fail. its always a crap shoot. top 10 QB picks fail half the time, and 2nd-5th round QB's succeed half the time. Joe Flacco was just another QB in the draft, and hes looking great so far.
you almost have to just evaluate the best you can, wait until the 2nd or 3rd round, and just take a stab. trying to predict things based on college system, intelligence, throwing motion, etc will only get you so far.
work ethic, leadership, and fundamentally solid play is probably 85% of what you need, and those qualities are often ignored for arm strength, wonderlic score, and system experience.

Last year when kiper was swinging on clausens balls, he was convinced the niners would take him when he fell. We didnt. Then he looked like a moron when clausen free-fell to the mid 2nd after he had talked him up as a top 3 pick.

Guess it's time to accept he just might be the pick. On the plus side Alex probably won't re-sign if we take Gabbert.

Harbaugh can make a pro bowler out of many QBs.
No need to invest 7th overall and millions.
Harbaugh has been on point with grading QBs in later rounds to actually be better.

So what? It not all about stats.. You have to have leadership skills.. You can have stats and smarts up the you know what,but if you can't lead... Your going to fail and Alex couldn't lead a donkey.. Now am I saying they should take Gabbert,no... But, to suggest well Alex looked better at Utah in which was very weak conference.. That some how Gabbert will fail on that alone is reaching...
