    ^ do you have a similar pick of Bridgewater with anyone well know? haven't been able to find... just know that some people have questioned his size... and it's one thing to look at stats, and another to just say look at this dude next to CP3

    No but in this video Bayless says he is 6'3", SAS says he is 6'2.5" and Teddy says he is 6'3".

    <iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/ELHf5TVnPnc?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

    He's at least 6'2" and he has no neck and long arms so he plays taller than he looks. By the way he has a thick neck. A boxers neck that can take a punch.

    Bridgewater has all the tools to be an elite NFL QB.

    The two things that stand out are avg dist, 7.8 yds, almost twice as Carr and 82% comp on the run. People talk how good Manziel is on the run and he is but Teddy is crazy. Both of these relate to Teddy's athleticism and skill level.

    By the way I don't think I would waste a 1st rd pick on Carr.

    Bet Kubiak would've loved to run the PA Bootleg with him.

    He comes off as a very analytical and intelligent young man. I'm impressed.

    He would have never went to Florida.

    Miami U was the only other college he really considered and once Charlie Strong jumped ship he was recruited to Louisville with him.

    Regardless the argument would have been either he's only faced ACC competition or only faced Big East competition. The SEC competition would have never been resolved.

    Also, I'm almost positive you can count on one hand how many starting QBs there currently are from the SEC....

    Cam Newton
    Matthew Stafford
    Peyton Manning
    Ryan Tannehill (I'll give you)
    Eli Manning

    Yep just 5. So conference (especially the SEC), I would say has pretty much nothing to do with how many starting QBs there are in the NFL. Which means even less that are star QBs, 2/5.

    Your hate for Teddy B is ridiculous. I understand he's a bit too dark for your liking but give the kid props. 82% on rollouts is video game type stats.
