lol... That would be a plus...

you really think gabbert will do better than alex?

alex had better stats in nfl for past 2 years than gabbert has had in college

It does seem that Gabbert has a strong potential to be Alex Smith 2.0. Harbaugh should have a greater chance of having a positive impact, but this feels like Deja Vu all over again.....

first of all taking ridgrs wouldnt make a difference we were a disfuctional franchise with no o line no coaching so it wouldnt be taking rodgers all over again

2nd gabbert is overrated had 16 td 9 int 6 yard average and no comeback wins last year

Big Ben threw 17 TD's to 15 picks in 2008. He threw 18 TD's to 23 picks in 2006. He has helped lead that team to 2 Super Bowl wins and 3 appearances already.

No come from behind wins ?

-VS Illinois and down 3 he led his team to 3 4th quarter scores to beat the Illini.

-VS San Diego St down 24-20 he throws a 68 TD pass with 52 seconds left to win the game.

And how about being down 1 going into the 4th vs OU he led his team to 3 4th quarter scores and a huge win.

Fact is he had come from behind wins, fact is there are SB winning QB's in the NFL who are and have posted similar TD-INT numbers and still win football games, fact is he had better production at Mizzou when his supporting cast was better.

C'mon man!

6 years say it's not possible.. Although I'm not excatly thrilled by the idea of Gabbert.. I would rather take my chances with him,then going back to what hasn't worked for 6 years!

No need to invest 7th overall and millions.

Harbaugh has been on point with grading QBs in later rounds to actually be better.

Those guys don't exist every year and the guy who you invest millions into is going to have a higher upside than the mid round find almost every time. The success rate of the 1st round QB is much higher than that of the mid round QB and we don't know if Harbaugh can make a PB'er out of many QB's....he hasn't made one into a PB'er so we shouldn't crown his ass just yet (and if you don't believe me ask Dennis Green). We have a one year example of Harbaugh grading QB's and we only know of but a few QB grades from that class so it's hard to tell how good he truly is, but all signs point to him being good.

Hell of a smokescreen/poker face by Harbaalke if they do take Plaine Garbage.

Not sure why anyone is reading into these mocks. They are just mocks. Teams just feed these guys BS half the time for obvious reasons.

But if we do take Gabbert, I will be dissapointed. Wouldn't even be a 1st rounder in next yrs draft class and he knew it so jumped on the opportunity to bounce.

Has anyone taken the time to look at the prospects at QB next yr? Luck,Barkley,Landry Jones,Kirk Cousins,Nick Foles, Pryor(meh)Austin Davis, Kellen Moore(probs late round guy). Loaded right now even if some of those guys regress or stay in school. Now I am not saying we shouldn't take a QB this yr, just not at 7.

I'll trust whoever Harbaugh picks in the draft.

that being said, I've always been on the Gabbert bandwagon. I knew back in October that Gabbert had 1st rd potential. (search the forums, if you don't believe)

I personally think #7 is too high for him but if they want him, then they have to reach a little because I doubt Tenn, Wash, Minny, and Miami all pass on him.

I'm not really concerned about the spread offense. Talent supercedes any system. Talent will function well in ANY system. Talented football players will figure out how to play well. Brees, Roethlisberger, Flacco, Bradford, Freeman all came from spread offenses. That's just the trend in college FBall.

I've narrowed down my top 2 QB preferences to Gabbert and Kaepernick. Thought I still like Dalton and Ponder in the 2nd rd

The bust rate though for 2nd rd QBs is much much higher than 1st rd QBs.

You can sense the fear Alex Smith fans have when ANOTHER QB is discussed. LOL.

No reason that we have to take Gabbert. Would much rather have Prince!

Do not want this kid, Dont like him one bit

To those that do like Gabbert.. Just remeber 1 name. McNabb.. He was hated by Philly when picked also.. Just saying...

Do you view Gabbert as a true 1st round talent? Or do you think he is just the beneficiary of a weak draft class with lots of teams needing QB's? I agree with everything you said there btw. Not really sure why I'm asking you but I haven't gone to sleep so w.e.

To those that do like Gabbert.. Just remeber 1 name. McNabb.. He was hated by Philly when picked also.. Just saying...

Lmao, I do get the sense Alex fans are worried. If they take a QB at 7.. They will need a new home..

I don't hate Gabbert, but he just seems like too much of a risk compared to what will be available at #7.

He also took Philly to 4 NFC championship games, and 1 SB, and went to multiple pro bowls- so I would say Andy Reid > Philly fans.
