Article indirectly explains why Bortles is the perfect QB for this team

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.
 

The thing is...he did perform. Do you take the pro day( without the glove) or do you take 3 years worth of film (with the glove)? Because if you take the pro day, you say "Wow, he has accuracy problems". Then you put on the tape (with the glove) and you see the most accurate QB in this draft from the short to intermediate routes.

 

I mean, no one had "accuracy" (except maybe deep ball accuracy) as a knock on Bridgewater until his pro-day happened. Then suddenly, its a concern.
