Quote:I think it's sad that Manziel is even thought of as half the QB Teddy is, Teddy is a QB, Manziel is a RB who can throw to 6'5 WRs after scrambling around for 5 minutes.
While I'm not a huge Manziel guy, how is having the ability to keep a play alive a bad thing?

Its not a bad thing.
I'd be happy with either Bridge or Manziel.
Quote:That Gruden had a helluva track record in drafting and developing QB, too....huh?
Are we still talking about this?
Are you absolutely nuts?
Tampa Bay traded with Oakland for Jon Gruden to clean up Tony Dungy's cluster at Tampa Bay. What exactly did Tampa Bay give up to a former AFC West rival for the guy you have zero respect for?
Tampa Bay's 2002 and 2003 first-round draft picks, 2002 and 2004 second-round draft picks, and $8 million in cash. - Wikipedia
As far as knowing something about quarterbacks? Both Super Bowl XXXVII starters, Oakland's Rich Gannon and Tampa Bay's Brad Johnson, worked recently under Gruden. Gruden re-tooled Rich Gannon. Would have made a Super Bowl if it hadn't been for the Tuck Rule. In Super Bowl XXXVII, Gruden used his knowledge of Gannon against him. Rich threw five interceptions, three were returned for Bucaneer touchdowns, Gannon was sacked five times.
Former Jaguars QB Mark Brunell was gracious enough to credit Gruden partially for his own development at a NFL passer. In fact, Gruden wanted Brunell in Philadelphia where Ray Rhodes had made Jon his offensive coordinator. The deal was done except Mark wanted shorter terms. That's why Tom Coughlin was able to get him here.
You know nothing about football.
Quote:Manziel does suck tho.
If Maziel sucks Teddy is beyond horrible
Quote:"Bridgewater’s weight was as high as 222 pounds while playing at Lousiville but an oral procedure during his sophomore season caused him to lose a significant amount of weight. His jaw was broken in order to correct an overbite and straighten his teeth.
"I couldn’t eat for two months, and that was a period when I lost most of my weight," Bridgewater said. "So I just want to get back to that range, 220, 225 range, and just feel good.”"
That jaw surgery isn't secret info either. It's just purposefully left out when guys want to knock how low his weight got last year. He'll be just fine weight wise.
So whats your excuse for him now at weighing only 208 on his pro day?

You provided nothing to dispute what I said about Gruden.
I don't know Teddy's situation personally, but it seems to me he probably walks around somewhere around 210. Someone at that weight will fluctuate between 208 and 214 from day to day. It's normal. He's gained 20 pounds in a year since his jaw surgery. He's doing fine. I have no doubts he'll be over 220 as a playing weight by this time next season.
Whoever drafts Bridgewater will be getting a steal if he falls past pick 5, and will be getting proper value if he's selected in top 5.

Oh... but as of last week you said us drafting him at 3 would be stupid because we should just trade back and draft him, getting "proper value"..
I'm glad to see you've wisened up.

Whatever angle he's gotta take to stay ahead of this slide...
Quote:No, actually I said IF we could trade back and still get him, we should seek one. Only Caldwell knows via his inside sources what the general feeling is amongst his peers regarding where Bridgewater will fall to. I personally have listed He, Manziel, Matthews and Clowney as the 4 players that I would be okay with selecting at pick 3 - Because I see all 4 as proper value at the pick given how good I think all 4 will be as pro's.
Just to clear up that misinformation....
That's funny, because had you said that last week, I wouldn't have wasted my time arguing with you about this.
The whole point I was trying to make (and others) is that nobody knows what other teams have Teddy valued at.
I said if you like him like you do, and he's available at 3, you pick him. You specifically said that taking Teddy at 3 wouldn't be good value because it appears that he's fallen. Many tried to tell you that you can't know what other teams have him valued at and you may be missing out on a franchise QB by the trade back gamble.
You went on for pages talking about "value" being right only in a trade-back for Teddy.
Quote:So whats your excuse for him now at weighing only 208 on his pro day?
Well since no athlete would admit cutting weight to try to test better in the drills, we'll stick with the cold reason...but I suspect he just cut some weight to try to have a faster 40 time as is commonplace.
Your weight fluctuates... depending on when you had your last meal, BM, your water intake, your sodium levels, etc.
Try it. Weigh yourself in the morning, at night, after a few hours of drinking, after a big meal, etc, and you will see relatively big differences.

dude jungle kitty just provided a ton of support for his point and your just gonna dismiss it with that?
Quote:dude jungle kitty just provided a ton of support for his point and your just gonna dismiss it with that?
No he didn't. Tampa Bay trading what they did for Gruden is irrelevant to the assertion I made and him trying to refute that assertion. Gannon and Brad Johnson were older veteran QB. And as for Brunell...I'm sure Holmgren had the most influence of anyone in regards to his "development" while there. Gruden was a WR's coach.
Lets all stop sucking up to everyone that tries to go anti-TMD, 'k?

in reality i know this. But i have never seen anyone grasping for as many straws as the Teddy fans when it comes to their savior for excuses. At one point Teddy was a decent prospect to me but his fans has made it rough. Its like TMD wanting Matt Barkley in the first but worse.
