Quote:Here comes your broom to sweep it all under the rug again.

 

I've cited the sources in the past where folks were whispering their doubts from the start.  If you'd like, I can dig them up.  Or, you can do your own homework.  Let me know.  For someone seemingly so concerned, I'm surprised that you only care to bring questions, and not answers, to the table.

 

Frangie just today talked about his encounter with a scout who flat out said he didn't like him.  Said his wrists and ankles were ridiculously slight.  Now is that really a surprise when it's proven he can't grip the football without a WR glove and his weight dropped under 190?  Do I need to link the article, for probably the sixth time, that explains why GMs are looking for people with more "ideal" size per position moreso than they are looking for college production?  Any time any story like this is reported, it gets swept under the rug from the guys who are "all in" for Ted and their heads keep spinning... they keep asking "why?" and refuse to see the very real signs and reasons he's not rated as highly as some would like.

 

Toss it all out if you wish.  That's fine.  Just ask yourself one question, since you seem to love questions:

 

What top of the draft QB that experienced such a fall from grace re: draft stock (the supposed top guy who fell,) actually proved them all wrong?

 

They may fall for reasons we disagree with or reasons even unknown, for reasons we don't understand or perhaps we don't want to understand because we disagree, but rest assured those reasons are real.  It didn't happen with Luck and wasn't going to.  But it did with guys like Clausen and Quinn.  And therein lies the answer.  There's a direct correlation between value and risk.  The mirage isn't the fall, the mirage was the pedestal that some chose to put him on prematurely.

As I thought.


I did not reject or sweep under the rug any concerns with Bridgewater. I specifically mentioned his lack of prototype size as a legitimate non race based reason for a team not wanting to draft him top 5 in a different thread about a month or two ago.


All I did in my response to you was ask about GM reports.


Funny you mentioned GMs early opinions of Bridgewater. On NFL Network just yesterday, former GM Charlie Casserly said that just after the football season the consensus among NFL GMs was that Bridgewater was the top QB.


But strangely, he made no mention of any reports.
