Hate to break the news to you...Teddy Bridgewater is NOT playing like a guy that wants to be the top pick in the NFL draft next year. He looks more like he's staying in school for his senior year - earning his degree.

 

After reviewing his play last night against UConn, Bridgewater did nothing to help himself out. The 0-8 Huskies (now 0-9) have to be considered an extremely low level of competition. Frankly, they're a mess this year.

 

By all reasonable expectations of a future NFL franchise draft pick, Teddy should have spent the second half on the sideline with his ball cap on. Instead, he managed just one TD throw and lots and lots of dropped balls, which are uncanny for November.

 

 His deep throws looked like Texas League cans of corn. Way up there in the stratosphere. Surprised the ball wasn't scorched upon reentry.

 

His play raises more questions than answers...

 

Sean Mannion of Oregon State is blowing just about every college football QB out of the water. He's a red-shirt sophomore playing under former NFL head coach Mike Riley, making him draft eligible. I've seen three or so You Tube videos of him. He's the ideal pro-style QB, certainly one we need to look at.

 

I still think it's best to keep Gabbert and draft Tulsa QB Cody Green later on in the draft.
