Garrett Gilbert Video

Video is from his soph. year, but you can see why he is hyped so much.

eh' seen better on campus.

Seriously, the guy has good touch but great footwork.
Keeps his feet chopping & throws w/ his weight forward.
Shifty enough to avoid defenders but probably not going to rush for a hundred.
Just enough wiggle to keep the back 7 honest.
Should be a great one. Probably one of the better QB recruits Mack has landed & that's saying quite a bit.
Hope he has a knack for getting strep throat in early October when the pollen is up.

But can he throw the tunnel screen..?

looks a lot like kevin kolb to me (which isn't a bad thing at all)

Who is his favorite receiver #6? He playing D1?

Kid has excellent potential and I am damn glad he is our first commit for 2009. Hopefully he is a real shot in the arm for the beginnings of a great class. GG has a great arm - very accurate, seems to easily scramble out of trouble and pretty decent speed when running. I am also really impressed with his footwork standing in the pocket or rolling out. He seems to throw with his weight on the correct foot regardless of situation - while having the arm strength to throw accuately even if his feet / weight are not the best. Hope he is a team leader kind of player.

Can we go ahead and start the over/under on average number of times Dave Lapham says "jackhammer feet" whilst calling a Gilbert game?

Ask Highland Park how good he is...he made some amazing throws on a very cold day in the face of a stiff wind. The Highland Park quarterback was very good, but Gilbert was better.

I have a feeling that attendance to LT games this fall will be higher than last year. More burnt orange in the seats as well.

I was going to say he looks a lot like Ben R , but Ben R is more mobile. He looks like Snead.

very good QB especially for a soph. i agree with what yall say. want to add that he keeps his head up and eyes downfield when pressure is in his face and that is a great sign. good pocket presense especially for a 15/16 year old.

Soph!!!!

Damn did he put the ball in some tight spots!!! Form is a little unorthodox on the release but he sure can sling the rock. Nice addition Mack

I realize that this video is from his sophomore year, but Garrett really needs to improve at using the middle of the field. In that 9:04 video, I counted less than a dozen times that he threw the ball down the middle. He goes to the outside on virtually every play.

Jackhammer feet!

So glad we have GG coming to the 40 acres!
