You know the hype manning and luck got yeah teddy doesn't even have half that and a few people don't even have him as the best overall prospect in the draft.

Yeah because the guy ranked ahead of him is the best defensive prospect since Peppers.
Quote:The fact that you're putting Bridgewater into a category he doesn't belong in tells me you haven't seen him play. You're just regurgitating what the empty talking heads are saying. I've watched a handful of his games, and the one word that comes to mind every time is unimpressive, and I went into this hoping he would live up to the hype. He doesn't.
 

Although I'd agree with you..Remember that Andrew Luck didn't wow in a lot of Games at Stanford, he even had arm strength questions at times and even though he still went 1st overall because of the research that was put into it. 

 

Moreover, Bridgewater does a lot of things very well, and he is being picked apart right now in a similar way that Luck was (and rightfully so)... Now I don't see why Bridgewater is so far out of Luck's league when it comes to being a prospect. Luck had the benefit of being hyped up and being called the best prospect since Manning/Elway so I think that really added to the nations perception of Luck.

But isn't qb>>de? If teddy was close to the prospect luck was no one should even be close not even clowney. The media would be all over it but not really not so much.

Barr and Matthews are also ranked ahead of Bridgewater, though.
Quote:Again, go back and look! Hate to hurt the old ego, but im willing to bet right now you dont catch more than 15-20 minutes of college football any given week. Someone who goes onto the internet cheatsheets and sees Bridgewater at the top of a 2 week old mock draft and runs with it.
Decided to do the work for you! First round grade, but Matt Leinhardt was the top rated player.
nowadays, anybody can make a website and "rank" prospects.

 

It really doesn't tell us anything whatsoever about where they truly rank.

My point is he's not necessarily the best QB in the upcoming draft. He may not wind up being the top pick either. He may turn out to live up to the hype, or maybe he doesn't. Time will tell. He's not a sure thing by any means, and anyone who has watched him would see this.


TMD talks about this guy like he's the greatest prospect in a generation, comparing him to the elite QBs in the NFL. Sorry, but I prefer to be realistic. If we don't end up with Bridgewater, the end of the world won't suddenly be upon us like the diva wants to spin things.


What will make this comedic man crush even funnier is when Bridgewater announces he is staying for his senior year at Louisville.
Quote:I've watched him play every game this season, except for one. Try again, big boy.


Then you're just flat out stupid or blind.

He's not necessarily, but I'll leave that for Caldwell to figure out.   I like Bridgewater personally.  I think he's got the skills that you look for in a great Quarterback.  But I'm no professional by any means.  I'd rather Caldwell have the opportunity to take him, than to not.  Even if he's not the greatest thing since Horse Face.

Why would he do this? He graduates next month.

 

Plus, his value will never be higher and Louisville isn't good enough to be challenging for the National title, especially next season when they get placed in a tougher division than they are currently in.

Grades dont reflect how important a position is. Clowney will be one of the highest rated prospects ever, so its natural Teddy will be behind him.

 

And what does the media's opinion matter? They all say that Teddy is a franchise caliber QB anyway.

There's always that.
Quote:Then you're just flat out stupid or blind.
 

No, but maybe you are. You watch a couple games and are influenced because Teddy's not putting up video game numbers you deduce that he's not all that good. Nevermind that he has maybe one good receiver, and a head coach that is more over-obsessed on running the football than even JDR ever was...

 

If Teddy had the benefit of playing on a better team with one of those gimmicky offenses, then people like you would get the stats you crave. 

 

Teddy plays in a pro style offense and does everything he's supposed that is asked from the position and does it well.

 

Whats not to like?

I don't dislike Bridgewater. I'd be fine with the team drafting him. But, I think TMD and his tendency to want to portray himself as the smartest guy in the conversation is a little tiresome, and whining incessantly the way he does after a win borders on the pathetic. Someone that obsessed with losing is someone accustomed to doing so.
Quote:I didn't call you personally an insult to simple logic. Let me type slower so that you can understand. Your position is an insult to simple logic, not necessarily you. I don't know you. I have never met you. I likely will never meet you. That said, I don't expect you to understand that confusing winning with losing may give off mixed signals. So, if that hurts your feelings, sorry, but when you play the "yes means no and no means yes game" with people, don't be surprised if you get the same confusion as you are getting from me. You can rationalize your thought process as much as you wish, but you have blurred the lines. That is indisputable.

 

Now, if you're not of the 1 or bust mindset, then what is the problem? Last I checked, Ricky Williams was had by the team that wanted him. If a team TRULY wants a player, they can get that player, so don't say that today crushed those hopes. How did that trade work out for New Orleans? Now ask yourself this: if New Orleans had the first overall pick, would they have taken Williams? Would it have changed what happened?

 

Again, you're putting your predisposed notion of what one player is, all things considered. You have said as much by saying we handed the Texans their QB of the next decade. You have taken the position that you already have this already worked out, and have identified it through your posts. This, months ahead of the draft.

 

Now, on to me. I said I was happy with 3-4 wins but would be happier with 19. That is a solid, unwavering position. I don't need to tell others that winning is losing, and losing is winning. I am happy with any win, and upset with any loss.

 

You and those like you who want to jockey for some perceived prize CAN NOT say that. You have relinquished your right to do so. It's really that simple. You cannot be trusted any longer with the meaning of winning and losing because you and those like you have destroyed the meaning to those who read your words.

 

 

 

 

You hit the nail on the head!   Awesome.

I couldn't care less what you think. I've seen all but one of Teddy's games this season.... (not that this really means all that much to me). Its like "atburg" feels insecure because someone might have watched Teddy play more than he does. Almost like a "how much do you bench" kinda thing. Apparently he watches, yet if you don't understand what you are watching, then whats it matter??

that still didn't answer my question. 

 

All that says is that Teddy gave no indication as of yet.
