Why is Teddy Bridgewater is the most overrated prospect on this message board

This Brett Kollman guy knows what he is talking about
 

 

WOW..he sure sounded like he knew his stuff.  Hope he's wrong on one thing though, and the Texans do pass on Teddy

Quote:My biggest worry with Bridgewater is his "lowish" release point. I know that he was not a huge problem at Louisville, but with bigger linemen at the next level I fear he will have a ton of tipped balls that mess with his head or someone will totally try to "change his mechanics" that would make him think more instead of react resulting in him screwing up for the next few years.
 

Its possible it could be an issue in the pro's especially vs a team like the Texans.

You obviously never saw him play.  His long ball wasn't that bad after the 2 second windup, which is why Leftwich had so many fans around here.  If Garrard had Leftwich's long ball, he'd still be playing.

 

Oh, and Teddy is faster than Leftwich but smaller. 

 

Much smaller.

His short and intermediate accuracy was lacking to say the least

Quote:* He's not the consensus # 1 player in the draft (see Andrew Luck)


* He's not the consensus # 1 QB in his own class (see Geno Smith)


* He has no elite skills or traits


* Below average size for the position


* The Texans seem willing to move down from the # 1 overall pick, with a dire need at QB



As you begin to evaluate him as a prospect you see a good QB with a high floor but a suspect ceiling. (Game manager) In the right system he could be decent but he's not a player who will elevate the rest of the team by himself like you would like to see from a franchise QB.


When you step back and look at everything with an unbiased eye there's no way you can make a case for Bridgewater as a QB who should go # 1 overall. He's not a Manning, Luck, RG3 level prospect. He's more in line with the Alex/Geno Smiths' of the NFL world.


He's good but not great.


Edit: Mods could you please correct the title (typing on my phone Ugh!)
This man had great insight as Teddy has fallen to some think the 2nd round or later in mock drafts.
