Quote:We had two visits, one where Teddy worked out the other just a visit (like the other players). I don't know how that workout went. We can guess that it didn't go well, or we can guess that it went well but that Dave was already set on taking Blake (seems like he had his eyes set on him the entire time, based on the interviews after the pick).

 

We do know that the Vikings worked out Teddy in Minny, and then came down to Florida to work him out again. And Turner raved about that 2nd visit.

 

coaches drafting a player and then raving about it is normal, it doesn't tell you too much.

 

I just think that with the number of QB needy teams in the NFL deciding to say "no thanks" to Teddy, it speaks volumes.  

 

You have to be able to perform.  He didn't throw at the combine because he was hiding his arm/accuracy.  He then had to do a pro-day, and failed.... on his 3rd time around (during private team workouts), barring some miraculous workout, most teams probably confirmed that he may not have the arm/accuracy needed in a franchise QB.  

 

I'm not saying he doesn't have a chance, but his "off-season" and draft preparation was pretty much a fail from start to finish.
