Quote:San Fran at the time was QB needy as well, and passed on him before our pick.
As did Cleveland, IIRC....
I don't take that too mean much. Teams also passed on Aaron Rodgers a whole bunch of times that needed a QB.
It has more to do with taking a guy mainly on potential. Teddy eliminates that part of it. You aren't taking him on just potential, but he has shown it in game time and time again.
Quote:I did because I was so happy we drafted a qb. I would have bought into anyone.
You are like that every year!

Glad I've got company then!
I wanted Jimmy Clausen. Mostly because I didn't want Tebow.

There's been 1 each year, in my opinion, who was worth soiling myself over.

It's a fine line, isn't it? I mean, it's good to have hope and be excited over the possibilities that a new player brings to an organization, but it can turn out so badly.

Yeah, it's fun going full homer for a qb but, man the free fall back down is real.

Which is why we need to take Teddy Bridgewater. Because he is one of the most NFL ready players we have seen in a long time.

well, if you are ignoring Andrew Luck, yeah...
Andrew was most definitely an NFL ready QB prospect. That was only 2 years ago.
I can picture it now:
Offensive Rookie of the Year: Jacksonville Jaguars Rookie QB, Teddy Bridgewater
Especially if we upgrade our offensive line. Shorts and Blackmon put up pretty good numbers with Blaine "It's against the rules to throw further than 5 yards" Gabbert. Imagine a real Quarterback.
I would rank the prospects from 2005 onward like this.
1. Luck (2012)
2. Bridgewater (2014)
3. Rodgers (2005)
4. Ryan (2008)
5. Wilson (2012)
6. Stafford (2009)
7. RG3 (2012)
8. Cutler (2006)
9. Newton (2011)
10. Kaepernick (2011)

Not bad but Wilson shouldn't be that high. We are talking as a pro prospect.

Why? Literally the only knock on him was his size!

And all the ridiculous things in signature blocks ARE needed?? I think his response was perfect.

I'd move Stafford up to 4, RG3 up to 5 and and Newton up to 7 on that list.

Lol i love that gif. Im with you on this one. Wilson should not be in the top 15. Rodgers obviously lasted until 24, so its not like he was a highly touted guy coming out.
1.) Luck
2.)Teddy
3.)RG3
4.)Sam Bradford
5.)Stafford
is the top 5 IMO. Rest is debatable.
Quote:Why? Literally the only knock on him was his size!
The fact that he got beat out by Glennon at NC State and had to transfer to Wisconsin didn't help. Plus people were worried that one year at Wisconsin was an anomaly. He had never thrown for more than 59% in a season before it.
