Quote:First off, just because a QB is not ready to start immediately does not mean he was not worth the draft position.  Aaron Rodgers, Steve McNair and Carson Palmer were three QBs who started off on the bench to go on to have good careers.  They were all definitely worth the wait and draft pick.

 

Secondly, even assuming Bridgewater has legitimate football based concerns (he does)does not negate the existence of illegitimate, race based comparisons.  Nobody who has seen both guys play could legitimately compare Bridgewater to Seneca freaking Wallace.  Wallace was a small player (< 6 foot), very mobile and athletic, and did not read defenses anywhere nearly as proficiently as Bridgewater.  Such a comparison is a living dichotomy of either being overly contrived or not trying hard enough. 

 

And i'll say it on this post too I love Johnny Manziel but if your really wanted to say one of the top QBs in this draft ceiling is Seneca Wallace it would Johnny Manziel, I dont agree with that, but at least you would have some base on saying it, both are 5'11 QBs who ran around and made plays, but Johnny is a way better QB, but you would get where somebody would be coming from if they tried to say that. But to say Teddy is Wallace just proves Ninja#117 point on the race thing.
