Love how the bandwagon has done nothing but complain about pro days the last 24 hours.
Even if he did well at his Pro Day it would mean nothing. I see one thread on Pro Days, and it's not even focused on Teddy. You're an imbecile.

What's your problem shoeboy, you little twit. You have to call somebody names when they don't agree with you? Grow up. Mature, my butt.

Great, just what I alllllways wanted. Another hijacked thread.

Read the conversation. Then get back to me.

Reading the conversation won't make any difference.  You go out of your way to insult someone in almost anything you post.

 

Honestly, I think the Pro Day has a lot of meaning for guys who missed the Combine.  Other than that, I don't think it matters much, and really, I imagine the most important part is the interview stuff anyway.
Quote:this, its funny how all of a sudden Teddy has a bad pro day and now the pro day dont mean jack, haha good stuff. If Teddy had a good pro day all u would hear is how great he is and how he dominated his pro day. But his wasnt good so now it means nothing haha
No, you wouldn't. Pro days are by far the smallest piece of the evaluation puzzle regardless of the outcome. Especially when private workouts are right around the corner. 

Quote:That's actually not what he was trying to say at all...
 

If he would have had a good pro day, I dont think this thread would have been started...

Act like an adult and get back to me.

That's not true in any way. I stated before that I demonstrated very very poor timing in creating this thread, but it had absolutely nothing to do with Bridgewater's Pro Day alone, but rather what impact it has on the generic prospect. I realize now that it may seem like it and I apologize for any confusion, but it was not my intent to prop up or tear down any specific player.

Again, another one that cant handle the truth. I like Bridgewater, but its idiots like yourself who resort to name calling when somebody "dares to disagree", that make it hard on here.

And if he had done well, yourself, Swaguars, and choo choo train boy would have this forum full of threads comparing him to Jesus!

 

BTW, Im not the one with a bunch of guys dancing in my sig.

Not sure where you get your info, but while they dont make or break a player they do expose questions or can assure management of concerns they may have. Far from the smallest.
Quote:This has been bugging me for quite some time now. Just what does the Pro Day accomplish? From what I can tell - since I have never attended a Pro Day, nor do I ever intend to - a players Pro Day consist of him being weighed and measured, performing a few drills, and maybe having a presser. But all of these things are already done at the Combine by an impartial, or at least a less interested party.
I would think that everyone in attendance takes most of the results of the scripted drills with more than just a grain of salt.


 

I can understand having one in the case of a player being injured and not being able to make the Combine or if he flat out wasn't invited, but besides that what's the point?
 

As far as I can tell it's a way for guys who are scared of competing at the combine to pretend that they're not scared to show what they're made of compared to the other prospects.

 

It's like the guys that play skill positions who refuse to run the 40 at the combine because then they'll be doing it with electronic timing and in an environment that allows them to actually be compared with everyone else doing the same thing in the same place.

 

When a guy refuses to compete it's a red flag.

In the video on the homepage, J. Oehser disagrees with you. I'm not saying that it's gospel, but his statement was that it is the smallest part of the puzzle. Take it for what it's worth.

Maybe I shold change my wording to it being passed off as un-important.
To answer the OP's question. Pro days serve as an added tool to evaluate a prospect. In Teddy's case it served as a warning to teams with top 10 picks to be afraid be very afraid!

Thank you!! It may be a smaller part of the overall puzzle, but you need all the pieces to complete the puzzle.When you throw in a skipped combine, thats a bigger piece missing.

Pretty sure we never had a conversation! You were just being your usual self, butting in to attack someone who does not agree with your feeble one track mind.

Really, you're the one saying this?  You tend to fly off the handle at whoever disagrees with you.

 

Pro Days are something that are expected to be good.  When they aren't, only then is it a story.

Oh, ok.  :teehee:

 

What do you mean? Pro Days are insignificant. FACT. A Pro Day is not washing away 3+ years of excellent tape. When do I compare him to Jesus? I'm a fan, yes. But I've also said I like Bortles almost just as much as Teddy, and wouldn't be disapointed if they chose Bortles over Teddy. The only argument you have is, "LOL, LOOK AT THESE TEDDY FANBOYS". And to top it off, you spout some stupid ignorance. 

 

Didn't you have AJ McCarron in your signature?  :whistling:
