cmb23 Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 But I think he's probably going to be a pretty good one. When Zac was struggling throwing in the elements (wow he looked horrible) he was hitting his receivers and was totally composed. Pretty nimble for 6'5" and 240. Probably gonna be gone after 2 yrs if Freeman went after his Junior year. I also want to find out about the injury...if he stayed in and ran that thing with a severly sprained (or some kind of break like I think) ankle...just adds to his ability and toughness.

Husker_x Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 He's good, but he's young. It showed tonight. He made throws an experience quarterback wouldn't have considered. The Gnomes pick is a good example. Next year he may be great, but he's still going to get an education at Texas. They play defense down there, too. Quote Link to comment

Having to make plays and force things at that point...and as I said...on a bum leg whatever it was. Not saying he's winning the Heisman this year or any....but still impressive for 5th game as a starter. Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 He is definitely a gamer. I'm not going to be critical of a Sophomore making his first conference start. That's a tough challenge, especially when you're playing the #1 scoring defense in the country. Gabbert is as advertised, but at this point still raw. Next year and the year after, we're going to have to bring our A game against him. We won't have Suh next year to keep Gabbert in line. Quote Link to comment
DRAINO Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 I don't want this to come across the wrong way because Gabbert is a stud.. but could have easily (and should have) had 5 ints tonite.. has alot of growing to do in terms of decision making but his skill set is amazing.. Zac Lee is way ahead of him in terms of decision making but struggled to put the ball where it needed to be for the first 3 quarters Quote Link to comment

Suh is the first real superstar that I've seen develop in my husker football fan career. I've seen other great players, but, his was the first story I really followed from the ground up. I remember early articles about his name meaning "house of spears", and so on. Good memories. Quote Link to comment
huskerguy Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Yeah Blaine is definitely a good QB and I don't seem to hate him the same way as I did Freemen just because of the situation in which he left. We get them in Lincoln next year and then hopefully he goes pro because you know scouts will drool over his 6"5 body and strong arm just like they did Freemen and Jamarcus Russell.

Lyons in the Sea of Red. Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Kid is good. but honestly im just glad to welcome this boy to big 12 football. his amazing efficiency rating should have suffered 5 int tonight. Quote Link to comment

Zac Lee is way ahead of him in terms of decision making but struggled to put the ball where it needed to be for the first 3 quarters Great analysis. Combine Lee's know-how with Gabbert's body and you have a legit Heisman contender. Gabbert will be good. At the moment he's still learning the ropes. Lee could be good. Lee makes a lot of smart decisions throwing the ball away that kill his stats, but he also makes some pretty ugly throws as well. He's smart enough but not nearly as physically gifted as Gabbert. We saw an ugly game tonight that didn't feature the best these two QBs have to offer. Both are better than what they showed tonight. Quote Link to comment
TheCheshireCat Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 One great thing about tonight - we aren't going to be hearing any more about him leaving for Missouri. No more 11 TD and 0 INTs. He got destroyed and it was great to watch. Quote Link to comment
husk3rf8n Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Gabbert was impressive tonight in his gutting it out and playing hurt. He looks to have a bright future. Honestly no telling how good he can be if he continues to mature. Mizzou got a good one with him! Quote Link to comment
kansas husker Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Didn't get to watch much of the game stupid work showed baseball all night ( but the parts of the game I saw he looked really impressive. I did see some dropped ints but for the most part he stayed verry compossed under preasure which impressed me the most. Just to restare however only saw about 45 minutes worth of the game. Most of the 1st and a little of the 3rd quarter so I cannot coment on his overall performance Quote Link to comment
zoogs Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Announcers made a very interesting comment tonight. A quote they attributed to Gary Pinkel: Gabbert's the kind of guy who will get really down on himself. And that can make all the difference in the world, no matter how talented you are.

cmb23 Posted October 9, 2009 Author Share Posted October 9, 2009 Like I said...not saying he's the best QB in the nation or even Big XII...but he's no chump by any means. It took us a half to figure him out...and that was on an obviously bum leg. Quote Link to comment
HuskerNMO Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Look at these two lines, the first one is Gabbert's line from tonight, the second is Freeman's line in the first game he played against NU. Notice the commonality and trend? C/ATT YDS AVG TD INT SACKS 17/43 134 3.1 0 2 2 C/ATT YDS AVG TD INT SACKS 23/47 272 5.8 0 2 4 Quote Link to comment
