    I'm not convinced of this, actually

    remember BO'B cares most about intelligence. Why isn't he rating TB higher, if what you say is true? Wouldn't he overlook the slight frame a bit if this guy were really so smart??

    Oh my bad I didn't realize you have talked to BOB personally about his QB rankings. I apologize for what I have said to you.

    O'Brien admits the Texans will draft a quarterback, but he won't say who or in what round. But he knows what he wants in a starting quarterback.

    "To me, it's really two things," he said. "The guy has to be able to throw the ball accurately, and (he) has to have intelligence.

    "When I say that, he has to have a quick mind, a good brain. He's got to be able to process things in two or three seconds because it happens so fast. The defenses are so multiple that a lot of times you've got to change the play."​

    Accuracy and football iq are Teddy's strengths. Boy you are looking foolish in this thread.

    I don't know if you don't want a black quarterback (I just thought you didn't want Teddy), but you are looking very suspicious because you keep repeating this statement to defend yourself.

    Unless you are referring to other cases I only know of one. Moon was acquitted dude. Only someone who doesn't want a black QB would ignore the facts that were presented in the case by Felicia Moon herself. Read for yourself. Tmac repeats the same thing as you but he's just ignorant... Big difference.

    Oh... And look what happened to Felicia a couple of years ago...

    Moon had him a wild one.

    But at least you don't sound like Bobby in the Jonathon Martin thread. He was outraged because a black guy couldn't handle a white guy calling him the "n word"... So I'll give you that.

    of course. I knew that

    my question is if that's true, then why isn't BO'B super convinced that TB is our guy?

    that was my point (which you couldn't understand)

    Well football IQ at least is, accuracy...has to be qualified. He has great accuracy up to about 10 yards so long as he's not moving to the left.

    Aside from Teddy, are there any accurate and extremely sharp QB's later in the rounds? (Assuming they are lesser talented in other fields where Teddy is average).

    That could be nothing, but did the owner go along to meet Bridgewater or Bortles?

    The tape certainly doesn't say so, the only the tape shows is that he doesn't go left too often ( I have seen no weakness going left) and that he is very accurate up to 25 yards

    No, I believe it's been a 3 man unit of Rick Smith, Bill O'Brien and George Godsey.

    Of course Bob McNair is a South Carolina alum so... so yeah, I guess take it for what you will. ;)

    LOL, fans being fans.....you don't see any weakness in him at all in fact you've said repeatedly that he's the next coming of Aaron Rodgers or Joe Montana....you also had him running a 4.5 40 time LOL. I don't expect you to be objective, but take your homer goggles off for just a little while every now and again.
