If had a Watkins or Evans no one would even be questioning his deep ball. Copeland and parker aren't scrubs but they don't have the ability to make up for less than stellar pass. I think Bridgewater playing with talent like that was good for him, forced him to be more on point mentally and throwing wise.
I'm not a Bridgewater guy but come on now one incomplete pass does not make him an inaccurate quarterback.
He's very accurate on the short to intermediate routes, but his deep ball accuracy is shaky. Video is not the best example of showing that imo because it was a deep pass made while on the run. Not exactly an easy throw to make. Better deep ball gif.
His accuracy throwing the ball down field has always been questioned. But probably isn't an issue. But I question his arm strength on his intermediate throws. Hardly ever see him getting the ball in between tight windows and beating double coverages with his arm. That's my main concern about Teddy... That and the fact he never really had to play under any real pressure.
Your concerns should be alleviated now He plays under pressure, he has a very o-line. I don't know what you are talking about
This is really the only viable and sensible criticism about him. If he hold weight at pro days, those will disapear too
Because you never watched the game you didn't notice that wr stopped on the route before running down field
You notice how that 9 route wasn't his last read The reason why he misses a lot of those throws is because of the type of offense he is in. Short-long progression system. His last route is the deepest, and he often times doesn't have the time to set his feet and throw so he throws to a spot
I'll say it once again; Evrrrybody what knows Bridgey Tedwater is the pick. Come on wit it. Teddy Teddywater, Bridgey Bridgewater it matters not what to call him evrrybody what knows he's the pick. Spoiler Said like the SEC Guy this makes TOTAL sense!!! :grin:
I can't see the vid EndWorld... Post it again. And Teddy hardly faced any pressure at all. Louisville has the #2 ranked defense in the nation (#1 depending on who's rankings you look at). They only allowed 2 teams to score 20 plus points all year and they held 8 teams to 10 points or less and they're #2 in the nation in sacks. And they totally dominated in the past two bowl games. Teddy was out there with no worries for the most part and just had to make the smart safe plays. Blake ate that Louisville defense up by the way... With all the pressure in the world on his back and he came through. And he's done it all year. That's why he's the conference champ. Tom Brady played under pressure like that in college and he talks about how being able to execute under pressure is what separates the great quarterbacks from the good. So that's what I like to see quarterbacks go through in college and Teddy hasn't. Doesn't mean he can't though and he could be a super star and Blake could end up being a bust.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=xcmIYlilW6Q Bridgewater never put his teams in bad situations. Especially this year. Last year he fought them through battles same goes for the year before. Many games he is contending with lineman in the backfield in almost every play. Every time his teammates needed him to come through, he did. He is great under major pressure
That's actually not true, the numbers say he's great when he's blitzed....but not nearly as great under pressure, meaning he's great when other teams fail at blitzing him. The numbers actually show that Bortles is the best QB in this draft when pressured.
When he is "blitzed" it means that their is a free rusher. Has nothing to do with "fail at blitzing him" The pressure stat is fair, whats also fair both percentages are impressive. However the offense that Bridgewater plays in provides much less room for error when blitzed and pressured than the offense that Bortles plays in.
Notice the difference between when he is pressured and when he's not pressured? The "blitz" number doesn't mean that the blitz ever gets to him, it just means they send 5 or more guys. Since Louisville is in a weak conference, they play a ton of weak teams that can't generate pressure on the QB even when they send that extra guy and it shows in the numbers. When you look at Bortles numbers, you see that the blitz pressured him a lot more often than it pressured Bridgewater, which means Bridgewater had a significantly better line. Both Bridgewater and Bortles played in pro style offenses.
