Ballard slapped on a wig and said I’ll compete with AR myself

As a Ducks and Colts fan, I have about 75% confidence that Dillon Gabriel could win the starting job over AR.
My take here is useless, but intriguing to think about.
As soon as Gabriel left UCF, he was dead to me
I spent a weekend in Eugene a few months ago. The trip wasn’t football related but the host of the trip is good friends with Dan Lanning so we got to meet the team and organization and I Ieft with a huge respect for Oregon and probably an inflated belief in Gabriel. He’s extremely well composed for his age. I would love to see this happen. He’s worth a flyer – and arguably more deserving of that chance than AR was…and possibly still is.
Gabriel wouldn’t be a terrible strategy here. He’s really experienced and found success in a number of systems, he’s probably also going to be available later in the draft so we can use our first few picks on areas of need that are more talent-rich in this draft class.
I don’t know much about Gabriel, but I watched him throw for a couple of drills at the combine and it didn’t look good (from the part I watched). I know they’re throwing to different wide receivers, but other QBs seemed to adjust. Gabriel did not. It was bad pass after bad pass. I don’t want to judge him off that, and I admittedly haven’t watched his film. I’m just saying he looked the least accurate for the couple of drills I saw.
Unfounded belief in a random late round prospect. Is this what being a Browns fan is like?
I won $2K on Memphis vs UCF in 2020 Gabriel threw 5 Touchdowns passes in a lost, that was 5 years ago dude still not in the league
