Actually Cam Newton was considered the best quarterback for a few weeks before the draft. Before that people debated for months about who the best quarterback was and many said Gabbert.

PFW had Newton fourth, behind Gabbert, Locker, and Kaepernick leading into the draft.

I think Bridgewater at 3 is better value than Mack at 3, yes.

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL. Clown.

He sure didn't play at that, and doubt he could keep it on all season.


Otherwise, he would have, and wouldn't have had to bootcamp his way to that size solely for the combine weigh in.

Haha. Its not like he got fat. He is muscular. That doesnt just come off from running around.

I truly believe Bridgewater is there at #3 and we get him. This team has a lot of needs, but getting what I consider the best QB in the class will move this franchise forward. Bortles and Bridgewater are the only two QBs I wouldn't mind with our 1st round pick.

---

Bortles (HOU)

Clowney (ATL)

Teddy (JAX)

Bortles (HOU)

Clowney (ATL)

Teddy (JAX)

 

Please.

Bortles (HOU)

Clowney (ATL)

Teddy (JAX)

The only thing I'm worried about now is the Texans taking Clowney, then somebody trading up for Bridgewater at #2 and robbing him from us.

 

I got to admit, I'll be pretty bummed out if that happens. Whether it's Clowney 1 and Teddy 2, or vice versa.

if that happens, I hope we manage to trade down and grab a guy like Barr or Ford.

I feel that's the only way we'll get value with the pick at #3 (a trade down) if that happens.

Or stay pat and take Mack.

"Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, if he gets angry, he's a mile away and barefoot."

Or stay pat and take Mack.

I do like Mack, but I feel he'll have to come out of the gate making plays from day 1 to justify taking him #3. He'll need to have a Luke Kuechly like rookie season in my opinion. Now I'm aware Mack wont be the MLB, so he's going to need to make a whole lot more of those impact plays, rather than racking up a bunch of tackles.

Build, arm strength being questioned by analysts

<p style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:16px;"><b>IL: </b>Brian Billick, another Teddy fan, very cautiously compared him to another slightly built quarterback named Joe Montana.

<p style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:16px;"><b>Watson: </b>That’s the It factor I’m talking about. He has a natural feel for the game. The game goes very, very slow for him. In the middle of this hurricane, he is the eye, the cool and the calm and the poise.

<p style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:16px;">He brings creativity to the game. He can create outside of the parameters of the offense. And he’s a great competitor. …

<p style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:16px;">When lights got big, he was the brightest light on the field. The Sugar Bowl. Miami. The game against Rutgers, when he was really hurt. In Morgantown, when he was a freshman. He has It.

<p style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:16px;"> 

<p style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:16px;">Nice interview...

Great interview, Teams (Texans, Rams) will regret passing on him

Everyone missed on Blaine. He was very highly considered.

I think passing on Teddy will come back to bite some teams, just hope the Jags arent one of them

The Texans would be idiotic to pass on Bridgewater

Throughout a tape breakdown of Bridgewater against the Cougars, Gibbs kept saying, "See, that's exactly what they ask NFL quarterbacks to do," or "That's just what they coached him to do." 


Bridgewater ran Louisville's full-field read, West Coast system with such command that it is obvious he was in complete control of what happened on the field, from changing plays at the line of scrimmage to determining protection schemes for the offensive line. 


Not that other college quarterbacks can't learn to do it; Bridgewater already has done it. 


"He had a check system with a myriad of options and he always had the ability to check out of a bad play, from run-to-run, run-to-pass, pass-to-run, whatever," former Louisville offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Shawn Watson said. "And we had the same kill system used in the NFL. 


"My job was to try to beat the defensive coordinator Sunday-Thursday. I gave him the chalk to beat the defensive coordinator on Saturday. He would go out there and orchestrate it, and he did an unbelievable job. The most efficient QB I've ever had." 


Bridgewater, who earned his college degree in three years, was so proficient in the Cardinals' offense that offensive line coach Dave Borbely once asked him to teach the protections to the line. 


"He wanted his players to know the offense like Teddy, because he knew every detail," said Watson, who is now part of former Louisville coach Charlie Strong's staff at Texas. "Players said to him that 'hearing (Teddy) talk was like listening to you talk.'" 


In recent weeks, I have talked to more than a dozen scouts and coaches – college and pro – to gain more knowledge on the top candidates. While they offered various opinions on who they would take, not a one said Bridgewater would be a bad choice. 


He is the only player to get a passing grade, an A in fact, from everyone I talked to.

Nobody doubts he is a great prospect!! Just the lovefest is creepy, along with the fact you tear down every other prospect and whine if anyone dares come between you and your boy toy.
