Bridgewater, and the 'situation' surrounding him and his draft status, reminds me a lot of Matt Ryan when he was drafted.

 

While Bridgewater has/had more offensive weapons at his disposal than Ryan, he was still the primary force that moved that offense. Everyone was talking about how Ryan's arm was not that strong and how he may not be ready for the uptick in competition. Granted, the organization has surrounded him with weapons, but 1. that's their job and 2. he's making the most out of it. If Jacksonville were to draft Bridgewater and he turned out to be our version of Matt Ryan, I think I'd be okay with that.

 

Now, Ryan has a size advantage over Bridgewater in that he's 6' 5" and 220+, and that shouldn't be discounted but I think their games are similar in most other respects.

 

This is not to say that Bridgewater will turn out like Ryan, but I see the similarities in the situation up to this point.
