Quote:The biggrst knock I see on him is his frame is a little smaller/ lighter than I'd like to see in my starter - he's 6' 3" 200 -ish.

 

 

I like my starting QB to be 6'4"+ and 230+.

 

 

But yes, the point is this kind of stuff is all there really is negative when you are talking about Bridgewater....he's that good.  

 

So was Brady

Quote:Tom Brady did have weaknesses....I remember one being arm strength. So much so that Bill Belihick made him devote an entire offseason to improving his arm strength. It was on the Bill Belichick NFL network documentary last season, IIRC....

lol i guess you didnt understand my point

Also, Tom Brady was as unathletic as they come. He was a lanky, slow QB, without an elite arm.

I understand theres many QB that aren't that height/ weight, its just what I would prefer if I was able to build my perfect QB. I think a bigger, more solid QB can endure more hits/ be less injury prone than a smaller QB, thats all. 

 

By no means am I saying that a smaller QB can't be extremely successful. And as we've seen with Gabbert, theres no guarantee that a QB of that size will be less injury prone or play with more confidence than a smaller QB.

Good point.

Also, for anyone who hasn't seen Teddy's toughness. Watch his first throw in the Sugar Bowl. Get's absolutely creamed by Jon Bostic. Goes on to carve up the number 3 team in the nation.

Eleventh Doctor said he likes his QBs to be 6'4 AND 230+. Anybody want to compile a list of QBs who are both 6'4 AND 230+?

 

I'll take the top 5 QBs that don't fit that criteria and you take the top 5 QBs that do fit that criteria and we'll compare stats. Go.

Or his comeback win against Rutgers to win the Big East where he didn't start because of fractured wrist and sprained ankle.

Wow!!!! Thats one tough sun of a gun right there... :yes: 

 

The fact that not only did he stay in the game after that hit, but managed to PLAY WELL after that hit and not be intimidated, says A LOT about the kind of player Bridgewater is....

 

Pretty much leaves him weakness-free at this point. 

Just so we are clear TMD...you do realize Teddy is like 225 lbs right now right? Those 200lbs measurements are old.

No I was not aware of that. Thanks for the update :thanks: 

 

Good to hear. 

Byron Leftwich 2.0

Quote:Byron Leftwich 2.0

 

Them being black is literally the only comparison I see...

Quote:Byron Leftwich 2.0

 

I disagree. 

 

Byron Leftwich was a statue in the pocket and couldn't escape the pass rush. Bridge has that trait that every QB other than a few which included Marino wish they had - that subtle pocket mobility/ instinct that is able to avoid the pass rush with football saavy and a few steps/ wiggles here & there. 

 

Actually everything about Leftwich's mechanics was slow. Slow thrower, slow runner. 

 

Bridgewater isn't slow in either. 

Glad you guys are not the G.M.

Wait, you think Bridgewater is Leftwich 2.0?

Thanks for your wonderful input.

Maybe if you hang long enough you can be Teddy's jockstrap.

You provide such amazing football related input to discussions.

Very similar. Teddy has better pocket mobility but other than that he's average at best. But how would you know otherwise, with the absolute lovefest that has infested this board after the beloved Gators got the beatdown from Bridge under the water.
