    List is not completely current. There are a couple of fluctuations but in most parts the numbers are about the same.

    You can add A&M to the SEC as well..

    Oh you are right. With that logic ALL NFL teams must pass on TB as he will fail in the big times due to the fact there are zero QB's from AAC, right?

    I don't see any super bowl winning QBs that won a super bowl that came out of a weak conference and or consistently played weak defenses and or teams on your list. You probably should redo it and put Big Ben and Flacco on it. But neither one of them were drafted with a #1 overall pick and or asked to carry their teams.

    I'm glad that's all you took from that little buddy.

    5th grade reading comprehension you have there, engaging in a conversation with you is mind-numbing. But your opinion is your opinion, no matter how stupidly you present it.

    Actually I just looked at the picture and only read the first line under the picture. I didn't read the rest because you're probably talking like you're some kind of quarterback evaluator but bringing up bu775h!t points.

    And what specific point was bull****? I just listed facts. Now is your chance to refute them and start a constructive discussion.

    Or you can just...

    You want to argue bull**** points, here's one and why targeting specific games as to why a quarterback will be successful or not is useless.

    You say TB played "cupcake" teams, bad teams, terrible teams right?

    Louisville's opponent Miami-Florida in the bowl game this year, also played FSU (yep, best SEC team - great offense, defence and QB). Winston in that game threw two picks, against a super terrible Miami-Florida... so in your r****d logic way Winston wouldn't be worth a damn, as he played against a crappy team, threw two picks, with an excellent offense.... "even though his team of him over the line".

    All this craptastic arguing is pathetic, if you have something valuable to contribute say it, otherwise STFU.

    Russell Wilson went to Wisconsin, not NC State.

    You called me a troll in your last post and I didn't respond. Sure I say things you and others don't agree with but F it _ it cost you nothing to pay me no attention. But here you are talking to me again.

    And Winston is a freshman and he is not in this draft. You're all over the place.

    I'm all over the place? I'm trying to find a comparison for you.

    According to you - TB played crap competition, should've played against strong SEC defense.

    CFans - Ok, compare both Manziel and TB's game's against Florida.

    You - Sorry, but Manziel get's a pass as he was a Freshman. But TB even sucked against UH and that's the best D he has played.

    CFans - Bortles threw a pick against UH.

    You - UH aren't very good, they're AAC.

    CFans - Ok, how about the same team both TB & Winston (top prospect in country) played against in Miami-Florida?

    You - Winston gets a pass as he was a freshman.


    So according to you, TB didn't play SEC defenses hence he just played easy teams. Any teams other QBs played against that were similar to TB's can't be compared.

    No matter what we bring up to prove TB against other top flight prospects, in YOUR eyes he will suck for
    a) not playing SEC defense
    b) can't compare current TB to any other QBs as they're at other stages.

    The most ridiculous thing about this whole debate is that people are actually targeting the Louisville-UH game as a reason why Bridgewater shouldn't go 1.1.

    If you don't like Bridgewater because of a certain aspect of his game, fine, I can live with that. But to cherry-pick random stats and numbers and present them as all-important is foolish. Find me a successful NFL quarterback and I can guarantee you I will be able to find a bad game that he played.

    It happens.

    On October 6th, 2013, Tom Brady went 18 - 38 for 197 yards with 0 Tds and 1 Int. He sucks. Why is he going into the hall of fame?

    On November 30, 2008, Peyton Manning went 15 - 21 with 125 yards and 0 Tds and 2 Ints. And he's considered one of the greatest ever?!

    Our conversation started on page 92 when I responded to your post insinuating that the only reason some people want Johnny and or think he's better is because he went to A&M and not because he was great in college. No where in my response to you did I say who was the better pro prospect and or quarterbacks out the SEC are always great at the next level... And then you responded with your lil chart which had nothing to do with why some people want Johnny. And you say I'm the one with the reading comprehension of a 5th grader... Hmmmmmm.

    First please, space your typing. It's hard reading your run-on sentences when you write one giant mass of them at once.

    Sorry you said the points in my last post were "bull****". Yet you still have not elaborated or defended upon your claim.

    And my little chart was relevant as it shows that great quarterbacks do not necessarily have to come from strong conferences like the SEC. (But it looks like my point sailed past your head, no surprise there.)

    So try again. I am waiting for an intelligent response, not babbling.

    Winston isn't eligible for the draft and isn't being discussed with being drafted with the #1 overall pick in this year's draft. He's not even a candidate. But whatever you say buddy.

    Using your speak Remii "No where in my response to you did I say" Winston is a candidate to be drafted this year, HOWEVER, he is ranked a QB prospect to eventually make a move to the big leagues and a top tier prospect at that.

    The more ridiculous thing is he played good that game. If they would just watch the game, they would see their stupid argument about 1 game is even more ridiculous.

    Bridgewater starts the game on fire. His 1st series goes 5 for 5, picks houston apart and they score. Then a series of sacks, penalties, drop passes end every drive the rest of the 1st half ends abruptly. That's not on Teddy. Just watch the game and you'll see. It's easy to see his recievers dropped 5 passes and he was sacked 3 times. Just watch the game.

    You have to watch the game to understand he played good and made smart decisions. You have to give UH credit, they played good defense and put a lot of pressure on TB but if his recievers catch some of those passes the drives extend and his stats go up. Also Louisville decided to run more against them because that's what Uh was giving them. But Teddy played good that game it was the rest of the team that sucked at times and he had to carry them on his back to win the game. The key here is to win, they won the game. TB carried them to victory.

    Pick another game if you want to talk about his poor play. Try UL vs Connecticut in 2012. Now that game he looked bad. I've never seen him look worse. Of course he did break his wrist and just bandaged up at halftime and continued to play. But he was overthrowing, underthrowing nothing good came out of it. He couldn't even use his left hand. He played the rest of the game in shotgun and had to catch the ball with one hand . That's a game he did not look good. Check it out.
