Quote:People knocking Teddy for decommitting to a school are just reaching

 

They are just trying to make up excuses for wanting a different player.

After reading this thread, I have to agree with wiseman here! Might as well trade up to 1 to be sure to get Bridgewater as he is the only player in the draft worth anything more than a day 2 pick!

Hell they might as well just devote the first night to him, and not invite anyone else to the draft.

Probably wont even waste any time watching any combine stuff this year, when I can get all the scouting reports right here.

Atta boy, I think we are getting Bridgewater and possibly Fales

 

Would be a great combo

 

I see us going 9-7, 10-6 with Bridgewater. Key thing is balance

I don't think you were being sarcastic

There's not logic in such an exercise.

 

I think it's pretty clear that Teddy isn't being vetted by most outlets.

 

He was prematurely put on a pedestal... yet no one is touching him with a 10 foot pole.  I find that odd.  Very odd.

 

Now, as we're getting closer by the day to him being measured at the combine, only now are folks starting to admit to their doubts.

 

Until now, everyone's been fine with and/or has been ignoring/writing off how small he is, that he was rarely challenged, that he refuses to throw without a glove, is somewhat a recluse, etc. etc...

 

It's as if he were anointed, and was never given a second thought.  Yet, there has been a quiet cooling on him lately, and that's why I believe there's more work to be done to figure out what he's all about.

You are exaggerating. Some scouts said he is not worth a first round pick. Some analysts say that too. But there are very few of them. Most people still think he's worth a top 10 pick. Anyone who thinks he is small either has no idea what he is talking about or just wants to convince everyone Blake Bortles is a better quarterback.

How old are you? Im going to set the over/under at 8.

Exaggeration at its finest. When Caldwell selects Teddy I hope you have a box of Kleenex handy. 

Nothing exaggerated at all.  No reason to be so hyper

Perhaps I could borrow yours.  But you're probably out.

Pirks, you are speaking in major hyperbole

Umm no one can touch him until draft day!  How can you say no one is going near him?

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;">1. QB Teddy Bridgewater, Louisville

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;"> 

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;">NFL Comparison: Russell Wilson, but three inches taller and less explosive movements.

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;"> 

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;">Where He Wins: Excellent pocket movement. Bounces off his back foot to step up against edge pressure and isn’t afraid to slide laterally when faced with an interior rush. Keeps eyes up to survey coverages and works to multiple reads. Placement and touch are there, but has the velocity to hit vertical routes on the move. Not afraid to give a covered receiver in single coverage a chance to win. Reports have stated he takes care of many checks at the line of scrimmage.

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;"> 

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;">Where He Fits: He fits any offense. Sustains success from the pocket but also has mobility which isn’t showcased often. Hits every level with placement and timing.

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;"> 

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;">2014 Draft Projection: No. 1 or 2 pick.

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;"> 

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;">2. Edge player Jadeveon Clowney, South Carolina

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;"> 

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;">NFL Comparison: Uses a J.J. Watt like swim move, athleticism might be Julius Peppers-esque.

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;"> 

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;">Where He Wins: Predominantly lines up at right defensive end in a three-point stance as a five, seven, or nine technique. His explosion off the snap is ridiculous, gaining an instant advantage against his competition. Obviously the swarming wingspan and closing speed is there, and he enjoys finishing hits with force. Has frequently taken the inside line this year, likely due to the shorter distance to the backfield. Loves to utilize an arm over swim and athletic footwork is on displays when avoiding cut blocks. Loops inside with ease. A rare power and speed athlete.

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;"> 

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;">Where He Fits: Most experience in a four man front, but his talent could be used in any defensive scheme.

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;"> 

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;">Draft Projection: The first non-QB off the board. Top-5 pick.

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;"> 

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;">27. QB Johnny Manziel, Texas A&M

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;"> 

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;">NFL Comparison: Tony Romo in terms of improvisational style.

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;"> 

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;">Where He Wins: Wearing down defenses with tempo. A master of broken plays. Stretches teams laterally with his feet. Forces defenses to match up with quick passes followed by elongated plays with little time to rest in between.

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;"> 

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;">Where He Fits: Has shown development from the pocket, but could thrive in a creative system. Thrives on broken plays. Drops his eye level, but can magically find open space and available passing lanes to connect on ridiculous completions. Will test tight single coverage. Gives his receiver a shot. Can also be a quick decision maker, which is key to Air Raid. Has made more throws outside the numbers and downfield this season. Obviously extremely mobile.

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;"> 

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;">Draft Projection: Top-10.

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;"> 

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;"> 

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;">28. QB Blake Bortles, UCF

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;"> 

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;">NFL Comparison: A poor man’s Andrew Luck in terms of mannerisms, running ability and pocket movement.

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;"> 

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;">Where He Wins: Strong pocket mover results in handling pressure others might fold under. Not afraid to work through multiple reads and multiple levels of the field. Spent a lot of time in shotgun, but throws from multiple arm angles. Does not hesitate when throwing to covered receivers to let them win at the catch point.

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;"> 

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;">Where He Fits: Velocity has dropped since 2012, and I am not sure why. With that said, I don’t think he has limitations in terms of an offense in the NFL.

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;"> 

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;">Draft Projection: A top-10 selection, possibly No. 1 overall.

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;"> 

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;"> 

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;">29. QB Derek Carr, Fresno State

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;"> 

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;">NFL Comparison: Jay Cutler

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;"> 

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;">Where He Wins: Has an incredible arm, not only when discussing velocity but also touch. Is forced to throw a lot of screens, but is an excellent vertical passer when given the opportunity. Shows athleticism when scrambling outside of the pocket. Aren’t many windows he can’t test.

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;"> 

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;">Where He Fits: Doesn’t always throw from a balanced base but has improved willingness to take a hit on release.

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;"> 

<p style="font-size:12px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-familyans-serif, Georgia, Arial;">Draft Projection: Likely the fourth quarterback off the board.
