- He threw for 3593 yds in 2009, 3186 in 2010.
- His YPA was 8.07 in 2009, 6.71 in 2010.
- His TD/INT ratio was 24/9 in 2009, 16/9 in 2010.
- His last 5 regular season games in 2010 he threw for over 200 only once (208). His TD/INT ratio was 4/4.

I know he threw for a bunch against Iowa in their bowl game, but he was also 1/2 TD/INT. I haven't seen the guy play, am I missing something (numbers sure don't show it)? The numbers above are certainly not Mizzou-like QB numbers. By contrast, Chase Daniel as a Junior threw for 4306, 7.65 YPA and 33/11. Chase is about 5' 10" and likely a career backup in the NFL (sorry SS, I'm rooting for the guy too). Chase was a UDFA. Why would any team even consider Gabbert at #10 overall?

Great post...i have absolutely no clue either. Locker/Cam must better prospect IMO and thats not saying much
