Quote:Actually, I am refering to a quote from Greg Cosell in an interview I just listened to minutes ago, so if I am plagiarizing, then so are you.
LOL... if you can learn how to search, I've stated that here for years. It's not a concept I'd expect you to understand, given your history.
Quote:The biggest surprise to me was Bridgewater outperforming Manziel during blitz and pressure situations.
Not in my opinion. He has some of the best pocket presence I have ever seen at the collegiate level. I'm not surprised.
About Carr, does anyone know of a QB w/o pocket presence who picked it up once they were in the league? I really don't know if that has happened or not.

I know I wouldn't want to take that chance....on "if" he will or not, at least not with our first QB taken

80% completion pct when blitzed this season.

I think that was a knock on Eli his first few years in the league.
Quote:Good read. Was surprised that Manziel under pressure and blitz measures were not higher. I gained more respect for Bortles after seeing the charts, and further cemented my desire for Bridgewater of the 4.
Probably cuz he spent most of his time running 20 yards down the field when teams would blitz him.
Quote:I think that was a knock on Eli his first few years in the league.
Eli played clutch in the playoffs/ SB, so he'll get props for that, but Eli is not an elite QB. He's barely even a very good one.
He's essentially Joe Flacco.

A lot of guys have picked it up over their careers, but I don't think any team actually has the patience to start a guy 4 or 5 years if he's as bad as Gabbert or (apparently) Carr.

theyve got 3 super bowl wins between them. we could do a lot worse.

While true, that doesn't mean that this guy will duplicate that aspect. (clutch in NFL)

Well Flacco didnt show much clutch ability at the end of the regular season this year. I dont really buy "clutch". I think the question shouldnt be is the guy clutch, the question should be can this guy be good enough from time to time. As we've seen with wilcard teams winning Super Bowls, the best team doesnt win the Super Bowl. Its the team that gets hot at the right time. Same for QBs. Best QB doesnt always win. But a lot of times the guy who plays the best that day does win.
Sure you'd like to get Brady, but thats pure luck. Sure you'd like to get a Peyton, but he is a once a decade draft prospect. If you told me we would walk away from this draft with a guy as good as Flacco, I would take that tomorrow. Maybe Flacco has is ups and downs. However Flacco has proven he can play good enough to win it all. Maybe he wont be able to carry his team to the playoffs every year the way Peyton and Brady can, but there are few who can. And to expect we'll end up with Brady or Peyton is setting oneself up for disappointment.

Unfortunately that does not work in the NFL
See RG3
Quote:There was a quote in one of the interviews I just listened to that Bridgewater completed 80% of his passes vs the blitz..... :woot:
Thats fantastic. :yes:
Because he changes the play. He's a true student of the game

I agree....so why wouldn't people want that here??

I think the question you should be asking is why don't the Texans want that there?

I think the Texans still take him at 1 barring a substantial offer to trade down.
But Jax fans like pirk should still want a QB like Teddy here, or hope he falls to our pick.

Im hoping they go for the "safer" on the freak athlete in Clowney

I know you're desperately seeking validation, but you don't need mine to support your opinion. Have some stones and stand behind yours for once. It shouldn't matter to you that I don't subscribe. Just don't flop on it like you do most of the others this time. I, unlike you, can admit it if I turn out to be wrong.
