Quote:I was totally sold on Bridgewater but may be waivering a big right now due to his lack of running.  Andrew freaking Luck even ran for 255 yards last year and now has 76 yards this season while our QBs (Henne & Gabbert) lack instinct and think they are the next coming of Payton Manning and could not run to save their own life !!!!   Bridgewater and Aaron Murray have zero rushing yards whereas Tajh Boyd is multi-dimensional.   I'll be watching Boyd very closely vs FSU and South Carolina ....

 

The Indy demise and subsequent Luck pick still kills me !!!

 

I don't know where this myth perpetrated from that Andrew Luck can't run...I remember them pointing out prior to the draft that he was indeed a great athlete and had several really long runs at Stanford. 

 

Plus, if you watched Bridgewater over the last several years, he doesn't run because he's so good with his arm.....but this isn't a Leftwich clone, he most certainly has the ability to run for the first down (quite nimbly actually) when he has to. 

Quote:Wasn't Ryan Leaf's problem his work ethic?


If we draft another QB that turns out to be a dud, this Franchise will be in even bigger trouble than they are now. So I'm not sure what's funny about that.

 

Yes it was. Plus he was a headcase. Think Johnny Maziel. 

 

Bridgewater is the anti-Leaf. Great talent, great football smarts, and great work ethic. 

 

Quote:"It" being a wig and a dress?  Probably.

 

It's amusing how some folks latch on to a single QB tighter than to their mother's milk and decide there's no other option.

 

kinda like Andrew Luck huh?...how'd that one turn out?...
