Quote:When I think of Rodgers I think of those beautiful back shoulder passes and overall incredible ability to throw the ball wherever the receiver's catch radius is. That's not something I see in Teddy, but not even Manning can place the ball as well as Rodgers can.

 

Teddy is really accurate, but what I think makes him special is the same thing Dan Marino is famous for, which is the ability to play R-Type in the pocket with his body, maneuvering around and letting defenders fly by.

 

What? Teddy became the mancrush of every draftnik because he was tossing backshoulder throws like they were nothing as a 19-year-old. He's a master of it at the college level and that (plus his mobility in the pocket and adeptness at throwing on the run) is why everyone compares him to Rodgers. Don't tell me images of A-Rod don't pop into your mind every time Bridgewater squares his shoulders on a rollout.

 

Teddy's much more mobile than Marino but he doesn't have that hair-trigger release.
