Quote:But it all starts with the QB. You HAVE to get that first. Without Manning, Harrison isn't as good, Glenn is a nobody (still kind of is) and Freeney is rushing the passer for a below average football team.

 

What if we don't get the #1 pick and someone else takes Teddy. He becomes to next elite QB for someone else all because we decided to win a couple more games this year? There are a lot of "what if's" going around but there are a lot less "what if's" with Teddy than there are with any other QB coming out this year. I will take my chances with Teddy to help secure an franchise signal caller than gamble with anyone else.

 

We can go round and round with this all day, but another "what if" is if there is a Quarterback whose professional career turns out better than Bridgewater in this draft. I know that I've read lots of posts that criticized Gene Smith for falling in love with his guys and doing whatever it took to get them; isn't that similar to what people are doing with Bridgewater? This team is going to get ten chances to select from a pool of 256 players. They are going to need to make the absolute most out of all ten of those chances in order to sustain a winning team.
