Quote:Ok that is pretty much what we all do on this college forum anyway....but don't say it is based upon their name or how their name sounds. Just say your gut gives you a feeling about guys and leave it at that.

 

For instance, on paper Teddy is the best QB in this draft class. However, there is something about Johnny Manziel (a gut feeling), that I fell he will end up being the better QB in the NFL. I have no way of proving this, but I am not going to say because he has a cool name/nickname is the reason I feel that way.

 

Ok, put it this way....

 

I feel that Bridgewater has a lot of qualities that will help make him successful as a pro QB, such as his accuracy, command of the position, football IQ, and so on....

 

Does "Teddy Bridgewater" also sound like a football type star name as well to me? Yep, sure does. 

 

Is the "name" going to supercede anything else in the evaluation process to make me select or avoid him in the draft? No way. But as I subconsciously and consciously go over all the players I've watched become stars in this league, "Teddy Bridgewater" just does have that feel of a successful player to it. 

 

Its like an intangible.
