Quote:But he played in a very simplistic offense admitted by his strongest supporters. The offense was taylor-made to showcase Teddy's strengths (short to intermediate passing, 5-15 yard passes) and to mask his weaknesses (16-20+ yard throws). What happens when he's thrown into a Norv Turner offense that calls for field stretching passes, which happens to be his weakness? And we're not even factoring the less than ideal weather conditions Teddy will be faced with in that division.

 

If Norv Turner thought it was such a problem, I don't think they would have traded up to get him.

 

I'm just giving my opinion.  Bridgewater was the best prospect when it comes to picking apart a defense and playing QB like an NFL player should.  The fact that he was passed until pick 32 just means there were other concerns, and those concerns (size, arm, personality) will be proven to be immaterial imo.

 

You could also say that UCF had a simple offense.  There wasn't anything complicated going on there.  Bridgewater played in a pro style offense, so if that is "simple" then ok.
