Aaron Rodgers has large hands Bridgewater has small hands Aaron Rodgers played against good competition in college Bridgewater played against one pretty good team his entire college career Aaron Rodgers had an amazing pro day Bridgewater had a poor pro day Aaron Rodgers is about 225 pounds Bridgewater is about 208 Aaron Rodgers showcased a strong arm and nice touch when he threw at pro day Bridgewater showed a weak, inaccurate arm at pro day Just stop forcing the comparison, it's not there.
Well it's true, did you watch his pro day? There was significant flutter to his passes and not much zip and a lot of them were just flat out inaccurate. I know you'll defend him to the death, but he looked bad given that it was a rehearsed scripted workout in a friendly environment with familiar receivers.
err refutable draft sites/blogs/writers, not sources.. the chatter they hear from nfl teams has nothing to do with their evaluation of players. if they had bortles as a 2nd rounder and the 4th best qb in this class before guys like mariotta dropped out then how in the world did he improve his stock throwing in shorts?? its bs media hype..still find it funny seeing ourlads mock bortles #1 despite having bridgewater and manziel ranked higher than him.. bortles did more for his pro career at the combine than he did in college..
Aaron Rodgers threw one bad pass out of 92 during his pro day while showcasing his arm strength, mobility, and incredibly polished mechanics. What did Bridgewater showcase?
thats all great guy but how did you view him prior to the 2005 nfl draft? the comparison to Tb isnt the point here..
I didn't really look at him as closely as I looked at this QB class, the Texans were still stuck with Carr and there was no way they were going to pick another QB at that point. There simply weren't the knocks on Rodgers that there are on Bridgewater.
What did Matt Ryan show case?? Peyton Manning???? Joe Montana???? All of them had underwhelming pro days and had their fair share of flutter balls What pick was Aaron Rogers????
Oh I've seen it, and the same knocks are there when he's playing against the scrubs he faced his entire college career, it just wasn't enough to matter. That won't be the case in the NFL.
There wasn't a combine when Joe Montana was drafted, Peyton Manning was BY FAR the best player in his draft class and everyone knew it from day one, and Matt Ryan didn't have the red flags that Teddy does.
Rodgers got destroyed by an average Texas Tech team in the Holiday Bowl. He threw several picks in that game also. No way you viewed him as the #1 pick in the draft. Not saying Teddy B will be as good but he can turn into a pro bowl qb
The Packers got very lucky, but that doesn't change the fact that he was an infinitely better prospect than Bridgewater is.
Rodgers played against the national champion team once per year in college, beat them one year, and almost beat them the other....What did Bridgewater do?
They had pro days...thats what i am talking about . Peyton manning was neck and neck with leaf, 20 gms favored leaf over manning. Teams favored leaf for his immense upside Matt ryan was considered skinny and weak of arm You openly engaging in revisionist history
