Some of you guys are just looking to attack other posters because they're asking questions. BO'B will run a complex offense. We need a QB who is cerebral and highly intelligent. I don't know how smart Bridgewater is. I will also not accept it as fact that he's smart just because one of his fanboys insists he is (?!????). Sorry. Need to see the wonderlic score. It matters.
His accuracy and touch isn't anywhere near as good as his brain and his "anticipation" is part of that. He has some issues with his "punching style" release and he has occasional issues with accuracy and touch but he's probably one of the smarter QB's in this class, he's really only lacking on the physical side of things. Give him a bigger frame and a better arm and he'd be worth a top 10 pick.
Forget what the scouts, forget what his own coaches say, forget what anybody who knows football says about him. According to you at least
Have you asked the same thing about Bortles and Manziel? Because if not then you're just baiting the guys in here.
His deepball accuracy stems from his short to deep route progression system Everytime his deep ball has been off, its been his last progression, whether his 3 or 4th. once you get to your 3-4th progressions, you really don't have time to follow through with proper mechanics and throw with "intent" A bigger frame can help, I am interested to see his arm after the mass gain, tweaking his throwing motion (overhead, bicep to earhole release) and finally torquing his lower body into throws
It is a technique called framing. You repeatedly ask questions about Teddy ' s Wunderlic but nobody else's, when we don't have scores from anybody. I can provide you with copious documentation on the technique. Trying to play games about it, pretending to be a babe little in the woods is even more ridiculous.
it's "Wonderlic" thanks for the psychological analysis bro. doesn't change the fact that BO'B will need a cerebral QB and yes, I've asked the question about Bortles too
As someone who doesn't follow all this that closely, how does it matter? I see great QB's who had a low score (Dan Marino, Terry Bradshaw) and average/bad QB's that had high scores (Ryan Leaf, Blaine Gabbert, Tony Romo, Alex Smith), both great and horrible QB's that had an average score (Brett Favre and Tim Tebow), Joe Flacco scored about as well as Peyton Manning, Eli Manning obliterated Peyton's score, etc. What exactly is the common denominator that makes people think this is an indicator of something?
Well he can't increase the size of his frame, you are just stuck with what nature gave you, and I doubt he keeps the extra weight because he got smoked in the 3 cone by the statue they call Blake Bortles in the 3 cone at that weight. I think he trims down closer to 205, maybe tosses a few pounds of muscle to come in around 208 or so and goes from there.
Yea, I definitely see him trimming down to 208-210 His mobility as a passer is part of his calling card, unless he gains a Jay Cutler arm through gaining weight he is better off cutting weight
Are you trying to make the case for Teddy Bridgewater? Because he's probably the smartest QB in the draft this year.
You a Moon fan? Lmao yeah rigtht. So is Rush Limbaugh This time next year you will come up with your same nonsense about Jameis Winston.
Bortles isn't super fast but he is mobile. Teddy ran his pro agility well above average, so i think he'll be fine at his weight. No we're looking to attack posters because they're coming off as racist when it's been well documented that he is incredibly smart and one of the few college qbs to have full reign and control of their offense. A pro style offense as that. Not to mention he's been referred to as a "football savant". Here's a good read for you that should answer any questions you have about his intelligence. http://mmqb.si.com/2014/01/02/teddy-bridgewater-2014-nfl-draft/ Good read for anyone interested. Highly recommend.
And these are the type of asinine remarks/answers when someone poses a detailed response to the same drivel he brings here. Its like talking to a 3 year old. Actually I take that back, my kid is 3 and he brings way more intellectual conversation to the table then this guy. So its more like talking to an infant .
I was a huge Warren Moon fan ...throwing to Ernest Givens, Haywood Jeffires, Curtis Duncan, Drew Hill Lo White / Gary Brown running the ball
http://mmqb.si.com/2014/01/02/teddy-bridgewater-2014-nfl-draft/ "When Bridgewater got his first glimpse of Watson’s full-field progression offense, he had never seen anything like it. He was overwhelmed. So Watson told Bridgewater to start doodling: take a pad of formations, with just the offensive line printed, and draw the offense. Bridgewater recited a play and then drew it: receivers and routes, he’d identify the movement key (the defensive player they’re reading), what the progression off that movement key is, the alerts, depth of drop—every single detail." "But it is Bridgewater’s always-working mind that sets him apart. He’s a bit of savant that way. After every series, Watson and Bridgewater go over each play. He has instant recall of the coverages. When the team installs the top 25 plays for each game plan, Bridgewater barks out the play from memory before Watson can look down at his playsheet. “I swear he has a photographic memory,” Watson said. “He’s extremely intelligent.”
He can run & muscle for extra yards just fine. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/4XQ5h36c2M8" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
