I admittedly didn't see the BYU game, but I am still on the Locker bandwagon.

I think the kid turns into the next Steve Young. Its a shame we wont draft high enough to have a shot at him.

Mallet needs to show his accuracy is improved. I haven't been impressed with him in this category. In this offense, it is crucial to be very accurate because its predicated on RAC yards. This is why I was so high on Jimmy Clausen.

Luck wont be in a NFL draft for at least another year. He has basically already said so a few times.

Gabbert is an overrated spread monkey that couldn't hit 60% completions and will only be a junior if he comes out in the next draft. He would need to show a hell of a lot this year to be considered as a first rounder for us after only starting for one year.

I'm not a Missouri fan, but, ah, didn't Gabbert start last year?

any QB we draft is going to be around longer than Weis

i hope to hell we wouldn't exclude QBs because they aren't a fit for the Cassel offense....

He did. It would be two years starting experience under his belt.

ROFL You sure can't base that statement on how he's played against ISU - 23 of 32, 337 yards, 2 TDs

He *would* be better served, IMO, to stay for his senior year though. He needs to develop better pocket presence and there are going to be lots of "big name" QBs coming out this year.

Jake Locker sucks so much you have to compare him to a redshirt freshmen QB? I watched some of the game it was on the TV right next to the Nebraska game and Locker looked very Casselish. He's athletic yada yada he averaged 7 yards a throw whos that remind you of?

Well, with all due disrespect to Cassel, its not his offense. Weis' scheme calls for a bunch of RAC and even in the spread Gabbert couldn't crack 60% passing.

Red Flag right there.

So far, he has only started one year is what I meant.

Apologizes for that being misunderstood.

If Gabbert completes more than 65% of his passes and holds his YPA strong and shows to not have injury concerns (that might arise again) he will be in the talks, but not until he does those things. He will be a project, but he needs to show he can progress before he gets into the conversation for our first rounder.

what a buffoon

Do me a favor ok...

show me a list of underclassmen quarterbacks with only two years starting experience, played in a spread and had less than 60% comp% to have a successful career after being drafted in the first round. You can probably list them on one hand, if not one finger. Then go ahead and add in all the rest that were drafted in the rest of the draft.

Ill wait.

Gabbert is a way more accurate QB than Locker. If we hate Cassel for not being able to complete 60% of his throws how are you going to like Locker whos never completed 60% of his passes for a whole season?

Uh, I didn't compare him to your current QB. I compared him to every single one that's ever wore your uniform. And I watched the whole game. The playcalling sucked and Locker doesn't call the plays. I've seen 10 times more of him than you have, so I'm well aware of his capabilities. I also was the one saying he wasn't accurate enough after his sophomore year, and the one that said it improved overnight into his junior year. Believe it or don't. You'll see for yourself over the next half decade and beyond.

no, i know what you meant...i just never pass up a dig at my boy Cassel

i just hope we'd take the best QB, and design an offense around him as opposed to the other way round

well to be honest ... he was asking a question, not making a statement.

Locker needs to improve in this area.

No doubt.

But his other skills offer up a better whole package IMO

Like I said, I see him as a guy that could develop into a Steve Young type player under Weis.

I would be totally fine with trading up to get him, even if it would cost us a top ten and a second rounder.
