I agree that Gentry would've been a good get. Big and athletic.
However, I think we have that in DQ as well. Consider that DQ's SPARQ shuttle time is actually better than Gibson's. Also said he runs in the 4.6 range. I think he's plenty athletic.
That being said, I think we need a guy who has a strong, accurate arm who shows good, quick decision-making. From what I've read either Gentry or DQ would've met that qualification. Also, Ainge really likes DQ and Bama offered him as well.
Finally, while I don't put 100% stock into ratings and scouting service evaluations, DQ is considered the 5th prostyle QB in the country, well ahead of Gentry. Don't think we could've gone wrong with either, but since we got DQ, I'm ready to roll with him and not look back.
