Quote:Bortles is nothing like Matt Ryan as a prospect.. they are too completely different prospects. One is a statue with a slight build yet is accurate.. the other has a bigger build, can move, yet his accuracy is a weakness.
(on bridgewater)
well then.. I guess I'm dumb. I laughed when everyone here was going crazy over him and wanted their team to secure the first pick in the draft to get him, how "dumb" is that? (then he almost falls out of the first round).. I wanted no part of Bridgewater since this process ofirst began months ago. He fell for a reason.. he's fools gold, so why waste a 2nd round pick on him let alone the first overall pick?
Pretty sure he said his ceiling is that of Ryan, sounds like somones upset?
Quote:Please take McCarron
Stop it! I'm a Bama fan who would prefer he goes somewhere to be able to sit and learn for a year, in Houston he would bypass the castoffs they have there on day 1.

No, that's why they picked up Fitzpatrick.. Bob McNair already went on record saying he's learned from the David Carr era.. If they do draft a QB.. that QB will sit for a year.

So if I don't think Bortles is a similar prospect as Matt Ryan I'm now upset?.. umm, O.K.

Whose calling the shots in Houston?

No offense but he does not have the arm for the NFL

The entire brain trust.. how many QBs were drafted and started year one for the Pats (which is the tree O'Brien came from). Bob simply is the mouth piece who answered the question.
Quote:No offense but he does not have the arm for the NFL
He's got plenty of arm to play in the NFL. Matt Schaub was a pro bowler.. McCarron clearly has a better arm than Matt Schaub ever did.

Are you really still not seeing the difference between
similar ceiling and
similar prospect?
Quote:Are you really still not seeing the difference between similar ceiling and similar prospect?
Do you see when listing another QB and comparing him to another.. you're essencially comparing their skill level? Hence "ceiling"
Blake Bortles is not Matt Ryan.. He has the potential to be a solid starter.. that doesn't come close to reaching Matt Ryan's "ceiling"

He has a junk arm. Look up his velocity. It was awful

You could have just said "no."

You could have just said "no rebuttal", which is basically what you just posted
Quote:He has a junk arm. Look up his velocity. It was awful
His velocity isn't "awful"..
Does he have a stronger arm than Matt Schaub? (yes..no?) It's all about what's between the ears and accuracy.
He has enough arm strength to succeed at the next level.

I think you're confusing the whole ceiling thing a bit - but you have made your stance clear.
Why do you think Bortles can't attain a level of play in the NFL similar to Ryan's? I think it seems like a fairly reasonable expectation - but certainly not right away.

Look at Matt Ryan's home record.. they don't call him Matty Ice for nothing. He hasn't had your "run of the mil" start to his career.. and I doubt Blake Bortles is able to match it.
Savage to the RESCUE!!!!!!
I actually like the pick. Somewhere JungleCat's head is exploding.

Why is the pro bowl being used as some kind of validation?
Vince Young was a pro bowler.
Well, Houston has their QB now..
