Quote:I don't see why Carr can't be in the discussion for #1 QB. I've liked him more than Bridgewater or Manziel. I've recently warmed up to Bortles since watching more of him. To me, Carr and Bortles are the only QB's I'd consider at 3.

 

 

Quote:Other than his arm, why do you like him more than Bridgewater?

 

When I watch Bridgewater, I can't help but feel that he's conservative by nature. If his first couple of reads are not there, he'll check it down. Always. I know it sounds like an odd criticism to make, because it sounds like that's what any decent QB will do. But IMO, the great QB's take chances even if their man is open slightly. And when Bridgewater DOES take his shots deep, is almost always overthrown, which is aggravating. 

 

I really like Carr's physical tools. He has a better arm than all of the 'top 3' QB's (Bortles, Bridgewater, Manziel). He's a good athlete boasting a 4.69 40. He has the size. But above all of those things that are easy to see, I really like his throwing talent. When you watch him, he makes those high-difficulty throws.  He can actually hit a streaking WR in stride(Something I don't see Bridgewater do consistently). The deep in, outs, comebacks, post routes, he can throw with ease. And he throws the best Fade route in the draft.

 

I really like his competitiveness. You can see when he misses a throw that he should make, he claps his hands in digusts, screaming at himself. And it's not forced. I believe it really irks him to make mistakes.
