    Should have added a "trade the pick" option. That's what I would have voted for.

    Yes, Johnny was 10 times the better "COLLEGE" player than Bortles...

    Well, well, well.

    I was called a racist for even asking about his score (even while asking for Bortles score at the same time). Let's face it -- it wasn't politically correct to discuss, but after hearing Teddy speak and after hearing about how he was overwhelmed by Louisville's offense early on, which led him to try to learn it through "doodling and video games", I think this low score isn't all that surprising.

    There's no chance in hell that O'Brien wants a dumb, skinny QB leading the team. No wonder he's been dropping like a rock in the mock drafts.

    1. He had more latitude in his offense in his sophmore year than most qbs have in their entire college career

    2. "Doodling and video game'? lol I can't even entertain this garbage

    "O'Brien wants a dumb, skinny, _______ QB leading the team"

    You forgot a word tex

    Mind filling it in for me?

    I think we're gonna take Clowney and hold on. If Mack drops to Atlanta and Manziel is still on the board into the teens I can see BOB and Smith making a big time move for both Mack and Manziel.

    that has certainly never been shown with proof.

    That would be awesome, but Manziel and Bortles aren't falling that far. Bridgewater might, though.

    Falling only in the media's eyes

    Rappaport said that Bridgewater is polarizing. One team has him as the clear #1 qb another has him as a second rounder

    Well considering that I scored in the mid thirties on this test yet had underwhelming college career, Id say it means nothing.

    Football IQ is not tested in this test

    Montana, Marino, Kelly, MacNabb, Bradshaw all had low scores.

    I would have preferred a higher score of course because it keeps clowns like you at bay.

    The film shows top notch football intelligence on Bridgewater's part

    Gruden (take it for a grain of salt) said is was one of the top 3 qbs he has had on is show in terms of football IQ

    Gruden has never developed a young quarterback so I take everything he says with a grain of salt...
