Quote:Just another example of why instead of trying to find that QB with "potential", which most of the time is never realized in the NFL, instead focus on the QB that actually played very well in college and need the least "fixing" at the NFL level. Like Teddy Bridgewater. 

 

 

Quote:exactly, its easy to pick apart people that are the consensus number 1. they have nowhere to go but down. basically being criticized for being as good as they are already. whereas the guys who arent the number 1 guy always move up because of "potential." how did that work out in the instance of manning? 

 

the similarities are pretty crazy. there are 100's of qbs with the physical tools, but whats between the ears is the most important. 

 

I agree with the above. I also find that when people discuss Bridgewater's perceived "weaknesses" they tend to talk about size or build and never actually anything on the football field. He's a prototypical QB in the Manning, Rodgers, Brady mold that can make all of the throws, make all of the correct reads and take over a game if he needs to. More importantly, he's sharp as a tack and in my experience, QB's are measured above the neck.
