How Overrated Is Teddy Bridgewater...


Quote: 

<div style="margin:5px 3px 0px 5px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif, Verdana;">
<p style="background-color:transparent;">Former NFL scout Daniel Jeremiah compared Louisville junior QB Teddy Bridgewater to Russell Wilson.


"When I'm watching him he's just so efficient and so comfortable, I think of Russell Wilson," Jeremiah said when asked if Bridgewater reminded him of another prospect. "You know Russell Wilson had the size concerns, but the pocket movement and awareness, the instincts for the game, Teddy Bridgewater has that." The Louisville passer is not much of a runner and shines in the pocket, but his ability to make things happen in confined spaces is very impressive. He is the top quarterback prospect right now, but watch out for Oregon's Marcus Mariota.

<p style="background-color:transparent;">One NFL scouting director told NFL.com's Albert Breer there is "no sure thing" among this May's draft-eligible QB prospects.


More teams then normal are sending high-level personnel people to do work on this quarterback class, and the scouting director noted it is because of the prospects' potential. "Teddy Bridgewater is the presumptive first guy, but his hold on that designation isn't necessarily permanent," Breer writes. Redshirt sophomores Marcus Mariota, Brett Hundley, and Kevin Hogan will draw attention as well.

I like the Russell Wilson comparison, Russell is super smart,  rather throw then run but can run, but Teddy is taller and may be bigger.

Someone said in the Louisville/Rutgers thread Bridgewater only weighs 196 pounds. Are you sure Wilson is lighter than that?

So he prefers Tannehill coming out? Child please.

Quote:How about you attempt to form your own opinion and stop being such a sheep instead of basing yours off of a FORMER NFL Scout that now works for the NFL Network, (the biggest joke in sports television).

 

You asked for links, you got links. Stop trying to downplay Bridgewater just because it doesn't fit your argument. Keep skewing.

 

What a joke. Lol.
 

Anyone who still says "lol" is a joke. Why do you feel the need to be so arrogant all over this board? Just because Teddy is getting too much hype and credibility by shredding Pop Warner teams this season? He's a great QB and future star, But not worthy of all of the praise he's received thus far.

I would put him right at the Sam Bradord level as a prospect, just my opinion. I think that is perfect comparison. Bradford was one of the most accurate passers on mid and short passes to ever come out of college but did face better comp. Teddy is very accurate on the short and mid passes from what I have seen. Bradford did get tested against good defense's though. We havn't seen that so much from Teddy because of the conference he is in.  Sam was drafted 1st overall and even if he came out a year early he would of been drafted 1st overall.

How many "good" defenses did Bradford consistently face in his conference? They're just bigger names.

 

Bradford has better size than Teddy, but I think Teddy's superior in most other facets of the scouting report. Better arm, better mobility, pro-style offense, no major injuries to his throwing shoulder...

Bridgewater is nothing like Bradford when Sam was at OU.

Are you really gonna compare the defense's that Teddy goes up against to the D's that Sam went up against?  They're just bigger names?  I can tell you don't watch much college football if that is your take on the defense's the 2 went up against.  Just shows your lack of college football knowledge.

 

I wasn't counting the injury and he does have more mobility than Sam but outside of that I don't see anywhere Teddy is better than Sam was as a prospect.  I would say they are even on most traits.  arm strength, accuracy, leadership.  Sam did play in quite a few close games also to see how he played under pressure where Teddy doesn't.  Not saying Teddy wouldn't be able to come through it's just another question mark that Teddy has that Sam didn't.

- Big XII defenses largely suck and have done so for years.

- You can't just not count the injury. The dude had to miss most of the season for surgery on his THROWING SHOULDER.

- Sam Bradford's arm is mediocre as can be for a first-round talent; his deep ball is still terrible as a fourth-year pro. Teddy is just as accurate -- if not more so -- and plays in a pro-style offense.

- What makes Bradford have superior leadership to Teddy? I mean, really, please quantify this for me. I have seen very few college quarterbacks lead an offense at the line of scrimmage like Bridgewater and his teammates are constantly lavishing him with praise.

 

And let's not forget how Teddy looked in the Sugar Bowl against your Gators with far inferior talent surrounding him than what Bradford was playing with. The Sooners had one of the best offensive lines in the history of college football in the year they made it to the title game.

I agree.  Scores in Big 12 games then were like 56-63.  Those defenses were better than the ones Teddy plays against... But not by a very wide margin.

Where did I say that?  I said they are even on most things.  Bradford was perceived to be one of the most accurate prospects to ever come out of college.  They always praised him on his accuracy.  I still think Bradford could be the real deal if they surrounded him with more talent.  He kinda got threw in the fire and wasn't put in the right situation.  I hope Teddy improves though out the season and does good in his bowl game but he far from a number one lock and the next Peyton IMO. 

 

He snuck up on the Gators last year and they underestimated them but it won't happen this year.  Lets just see how he plays in the bowl game and the rest of the year and if he keeps it up than im all in, but it's a little too early to crown the guy just yet with this QB class.

You're right, I thought you were saying Bradford is superior in all of those things. My mistake. But no, Bridgewater is probably a number-one lock as of right now. He's the consensus top quarterback in this class... there's really no disagreement among anyone about that. No one's saying he's the "next" Peyton; I don't think Teddy's mom believes he'll throw for 450+ TDs in the NFL. He's just one of the best prospects since and attacks the game mentally like Manning.

 

Muschamp didn't underestimate Teddy and it's impossible to sneak up on a team that's had a month to game plan for you as your team's best player. Matt Elam called Bridgewater "hands down the best quarterback Florida will face this season" two days before the Sugar Bowl. You guys got outplayed and you're just making an excuse.

No question about that, right now he is.  At the end of the season?  Who knows at this point.  There is a lot of games to still be played, I don't care who we draft as long as it's the right guy.  There is a long process to go and a lot of games to be played to determine that.  Lots of talent in this years draft.

 

 No excuse's, its just reality.  We got out coached too.

Bradford's accuracy in college was a myth. That OU offense grossly inflated his numbers just like every other OU QB under Stoops and when it came time to face actual good defenses like the Gators, he was incredibly blah.

Well, Will Muschamp would have to be an idiot to get "snuck up on" by Teddy Bridgewater with a month of prep-time... except I know for a fact that Muschamp is a brilliant and obsessive defensive mind that would never let that happen, so you have to be wrong about this.

 

There's really no game-planning for a passer who's that good when he's playing at his best.

I don't think it was Muchamp I just think the players took them lightly and then got smacked in the mouth.

Sam Bradford did come out a year early, FYI. I thought that was a bad decision because he spent most of his last year at Okalhoma rehabbing a torn right shoulder.

AKA the excuse of every single team that has ever lost to an underdog on national TV. It's especially convenient because neither of us can prove or disprove if Florida's players blew that game off.

 

What happened was a future No. 1 draft pick playing the best game of his career and Jeff Driskel being Jeff Driskel. UF's offense made that 14.5-point spread a joke.
