Quote:The pro day for one, i also question his size yes you can attack Johnny football for being small, but i think he would get up after taking a hit, Teddy i question how long he would be able to take hits with his size. I hope i am wrong and Teddy becomes a Cam Newton like QB as long as its not with Houston, Indy or Tenn.
Teddy took some huge shots over his career and got up and delivered consistently after the fact.
Teddy Bridgewater can play football, very well. I'll take a guy with an average NFL arm if he's smart and accurate in the short to intermediate throws. He would not be a bad selection.
Quote:You talked about size in that post about Bridgewater
Manziel cant just will himself to get up after a hit that breaks his ribs. Being a tough guy only gets you so far.
I stand corrected, when i say Newton and Bridgewater i was not talking about size, if i did or it was taken that i did then i stand corrected.
I agree about Manziel, but i would feel better with him taking a hit than Bridgewater
Quote:Teddy took some huge shots over his career and got up and delivered consistently after the fact.
Yes he did, however taking a big hit in College is a lot different than taking a big major hit from the NFL defenses.

I think the media and fans have lost sight of what really matters at the position, we shifted our interest towards size, arm strength, vocal leadership etc.. At the end of the day I want a guy that can play the position at a high level, and Bridgewater can certainly do that.
Quote:Yes he did, however taking a big hit in College is a lot different than taking a big major hit from the NFL defenses.
Yes it is, but that isn't a very good point. He has answered the bell again and again against the competition he has played. That's all he can do now. He's no different than any other QB's who have taken shots in college and had to adjust to the NFL hits. He has shown no propensity to mail it in after getting knocked around whatsoever.

I agree and i do like any player who in any sport who time after time after falling can get back up and make people pay, however there is the concern and a valid one IMO about Bridgewater taking the hit.

Then its the same for Manziel when he gets to the pro's. Even moreso considering his running style id venture to say. Do people really think Bridgewater is more likely to get hurt from the pocket vs Manziel running from the pocket?
Lol Manziel is going to get his clock cleaned by a in the box SS like Kam Chancellor on a scramble and learn quickly NFL defenders dont play that crap.
Quote:I'm not really sure what this means. Passing the Parcell QB rules. Is this a good thing? Is it an indicator of success?
Ironically in his 20 plus years as a head coach, Parcells only selected a QB early in the draft one time. Drew Bledsoe. Who was almost the complete opposite prospect that Bridgewater is. Bledsoe was tall, big, slow prospect with a cannon for an arm, who got a little careless with INTs in college. But then again, after leaving the Patriots Parcells complained about being the cook who couldnt pick his ingredients. So who knows if Bledsoe really was his decision or not.
Moving on, in his two or three years as the VP of football for Miami, Parcells took Chad Henne in the 2nd one year and Pat White in the 2nd the next. Although I doubt Pat White was taken to be a QB. Did Henne pass the 7 rules of Parcell as well?
That was my immediate reaction as well.

It's like the Gruden QB segments on ESPN. Gruden had a terrible track record in dealing with young QB's and now he's supposed to be some sort of guru.

Thats why I don't even bother to watch that show.
It would be like watching Rich Kotite host a show about giving his opinions about good up and coming head coaches.

yup.....same goes for Johnny ego too.

I only watch his QB camp for entertainments sake...I hope no one is actually touting him as a guru

Agree. It's all about fun. It's certainly no trip to the library.
Quote:yup.....same goes for Johnny ego too.
As i said i would be at-least at this moment in time i would cringe less if Manziel got hit compared to Bridgewater.
why would you ever have a display name like that. it just screams out for everyone to not take you serious.

Just to show much of an idiot that Mel Kiper JR fellow is. BTW i am assuming your a big Mack fan
I cant imagine Gruden in a war room before a draft. Would all the prospects be #1 on his board?
