Quote:Fortunately that's just your opinion, and there are plenty who think otherwise including myself.  I want the team to be able to take Teddy.  I think my post record shows that.  Honestly though, if we don't get Teddy I'd be ok with whoever else they pick as long as it's not Matthews.  Bortles, Carr, Manziel, Clowney, Watkins, Mack, whoever.  I just hope it's Teddy.  I want the team to run away from Chad Henne as fast as humanly possible.  And the best way to do that is to pick the best QB in this draft who also happens to be the most NFL ready - Teddy.

 

Interesting information on Ted:

Wonderlics were just released, and Ted was only six points higher than Garrard with a 20.

 

A lot of folks repeat the "trust the tape" mantra as well.  But...

Add to that Mayock's revelation that when he went back to look at tape after Ted's poor Pro Day, he was not impressed (he had done little or no tape study on Ted prior to then, but was mostly following the herd.)  So, IMO this "NFL ready" talk has been a bit premature and perhaps misguided.

 

 

Quote:Ive not been stupid or arrogant enough to make a bold prediction either way.

 

Neither have I.  What did you think I meant about being "wrong?"  I was referring to my opinion being wrong about Ted, that I don't believe we would or should take him as high as #3.
