Quote:Bridgewater is Byron Leftwich with slightly better mobility and better mechanics. 

 

Leftwich wasn't the prototypical black QB.  Big, slow footed, pocket passer, hardly athletic.  He could read defenses with the best of them, which was good because the slow feed and the long windup required something to compensate.  He'd make quick decisions, then go through the long motion of getting the ball out.

 

Bridgewater has the same ability to read defenses and to make quick decisions.  He's got a quicker release and better footwork, but he's still more of a traditional pocket passing QB.  He's smaller than Leftwich, but he has the same kind of small hands.  Heck, Leftwich wore a size 8 shoe.

 

Like I said, if Bridgewater lands in the right situation, he will be a very good QB.  He could even develop into elite talent with time.  But, he could also turn out to be a huge flop.  We'll see.

 

If the Jags took him at 3, I wouldn't be running to the old Modis Building to get in line.  I think he could do well here given time.  He just wouldn't be my first option at #3. 

 

Fair enough, what you consider him at 6? I believe the Jaguars have an excellent opportunity to move back 3 spots, I don't think the Falcons are willing to give up multiple 1st round picks to Houston for Clowney. Khalil Mack is a guy that would fit perfectly in Mike Nolan's Zone blitzing scheme, I can see Thomas D. & David C swapping spots on May 8th.
