Gabbert is already regarded as the #1 QB prospect of this draft. What does he need to prove to scouts?

Why doesn't anyone like Gabbert's deep ball then?
Newton didn't throw real well today. At all. He's really not a QB and if he can become one, it's going to take a lot of work. In his spread option, he threw off of his back foot ALL the time, almost always. Now that he's learned his drops, they need a LOT of work. B/c he isn't smooth on them, his throws were pretty erratic today. He CAN make all the throws, it's whether or not he can be consistent and accurate.
Mallett looked damned good today.
Locker looked okay. Not overly accurate. Especially on his 10yd. outs and post-corner routes. Threw them low and late consistently. Don't know if he didn't get through his drop quickly enough, or if he was throwing to the receiver and not a spot, didn't pay enough attention.
