Quote:The sole reason?

 

Bridgewater is dropping in many big boards relating to the Combine confirming his lack of competitiveness. He declined to accept scholarship offers from big schools that required him to compete against the best possible quarterback competition they could stimulate.

 

Please evaluate the facts relating to Bridgewater retracting his letter.

The commitment made sense. Bridgewater had grown close with then-coach Randy Shannon, and he would be able to play close to home. But he started reconsidering his options before Shannon was fired in November 2010. Bridgewater decommitted in early December, and it drew national attention, devastating some in the Miami community.


Murphy says Bridgewater changed his mind before Shannon was let go. At one point, she thought her son would end up at LSU. But he eventually chose Louisville, in part, because he felt he could win a starting job early in his career.

“It was a tough decision, and I prayed about it a lot,” Bridgewater said. “But when (LSU) asked me to delay my official visit because they were going out to Kansas to take a look at Mettenberger, I knew LSU wasn’t the school for me.”

 

You can figure this out.

listening to bridgewater talk about why he accepted lousville over miami made sense.

 

He wanted stability at the school and Louisville just signed the ehad coach and he thought the coach would be there for his years at the school. He was not so sure about Miami.

He aslo wanted to get away from home because he the thought the distraction of his mothers breast cancer would pull him away from football.

 

And this whole thing about not wanting to compete against other QB's? SO what why not go to a college that says your our guy instead of going to one that says your one of our 4 guys this year and then 8 next year and so on. I personally would rather my son go to a college like UCF, Baylor, Pitt, Rutgers and get the chance to get on the field sooner than have them go to Alabama, USC, Michigan were they recruit 4 top 20 guys at his position per year. Yes competition is great but playing is greater.
