Quote:I dont want us to draft one of these QBs with the 3rd pick but I wouldnt hate it either.  If we ended up with Bortles I'd be excited to see how he does.  He has a lot of what you look for.  Size, makes plays, is a winner, etc....  I wish he had a bigger arm.  And I wish he was a little more consistent with his accuracy.  But accuracy could be tied to footwork.  And his arm is strong enough, its just not elite.  I think he has a lot of potential.  I'd argue he has more potential than the other two.  But he probably has a lower floor than Teddy.

The biggest upside IMO with Bridgewater and Bortles is the fact that Bridgewater is smart enough to avoid the blitz and based on Bortles' college play and film he stands in the pocket and takes the hit to throw the ball.  If anything I can see him ending up taking to many sacks holding the ball to long trying to make a play.  Same thing they say about Romo and Big Ben, but the upside of their playmaking ability usually mitigates the negative.
