He wouldn't get away with it in the NFL, but that "behind the back"-fake he did was pretty ****ing sweet, I must say.

I think Mallett's draft position is ultimately going to come down to his play against LSU and Alabama. Much like last year I think he'll wipe out the rest of the schedule. Interested to see if he's able to step it up against the elite. Think Arkansas as a whole is a better team, so he should.

I think he'll end up being the best QB of the bunch if he lands in the right situation.

Gabbert is accurate, has a strong arm, and he is mobile. His biggest weakness is pocket presence. He depends on his mobility too much. Instead of stepping up into the pocket when he feels pressure from the outside, he is quick to scramble. He has made some big plays on these scrambles, but he would be better served to step up into the pocket and continue through his reads. At least that is my amateur fan opinion.

Has he always been like that or was it because of the ankle injury?

I completely disagree with the lack of pocket awareness. Completely.

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.

Comparing Locker to any Husker quarterback is just ridiculous. Nebraska isn't exactly known for its pro-style quarterbacks. We'll see about Locker's draft stock after he faces the Pelinis.

We'll beat them by 14+. And if Callahan was still here Gabbert would be the QB.

It seems to me that he has always been like that since he became MU's starter. I know other MU fans have conjectured that he only started it after he got hurt last season. His high school teams were never very good, so I wonder if he was running for his life a lot before he got to MU.

Agreed. Aside from one play against Illinois, he shows tremendous poise. He's also not afraid to take one in the mouth. The dude is a tough sonofabitch.

To me, Gabbert and Mallett have the same ceiling, while Gabbert has a much higher floor.

In the Illinois game he didn't show much poise. Way too quick to scramble.

Not too much polish. Just enough to be available when its our turn to draft. Mallet is my early favorite based on, admittedly, not much but his physical attributes. I reserve the right to change my mind as the season goes on.
