    Exactly. Here's one for bigtex

    "Bridgewater quickly filled up a pad and was bored by it. He needed more competition—another pillar of Bridgewater’s being—so Bridgewater put the entire Louisville offense into his Xbox football game. Then he put in the game plans for each game and threw against the coverages he would see."

    "Bridgewater also has an audible system at his disposal, with the same goal as every good NFL system: stay out of bad plays. If the play Watson has called has little chance of success against a particular defense, Bridgewater can change the play entirely at the line of scrimmage.

    Finally, Bridgewater redirects the offensive line protections by either identifying the middle linebacker in man-to-man protections, or directing the slide one way or the other in zone.

    You’d be hard-pressed to find many, if any, college quarterbacks that are asked to do that much, especially at 21 years old and in a completely full-field read progression system. Most of the recent top drafted quarterbacks, like E.J. Manuel, Geno Smith and Robert Griffin III, came from systems that called for quarterbacks to only read half or a quarter of the field. Bridgewater has the ability to direct the ball to any part of the field on every snap.

    “I study pro ball, that’s what I do, that’s my passion, my love. (NFL coaches) are the best at what they do, so I’ve made it what we do,” Watson said. “Most of these kids in college, the coordinator calls it from the press box and then there’s a signal system once the defense declares. The quarterback never gets developed, never gets taught. Teddy’s been taught from day one that I want him to be the coordinator at the line of scrimmage because he can be far better than me. And he can put the ball wherever he thinks is right.”"

    Texxx doesn't understand the context of the word "doodle."


    Also, he's one of the biggest trolls on this site.

    Texxx is still unwilling to answer what score would be acceptable to him on the Wonderlic. Too afraid to stand by his own words and lay it on the line.

    false choice

    It's the relative comparison vs. Bortles and Manziel that matters.

    If they're all dumb as rocks, then we should pass on all of them, right?

    And if not, you should be able to say what their relative scores need to be in order to pass the bigtex test.

    bigtexxx has been the biggest supporter of the Texans drafting Bridgewater on these boards, but he doesn't know enough to realize it. I'm against ANY of the QB's in this class as the top pick, but bigtexxx makes a strong case for Teddy Bridgewater if they feel like they have to draft a QB first just to draft a QB first.

    Didn't Dan Marino score like a 15 on the wnderlic test...??? I wonder what Big Ben scored because he seems to be a lil dumb (due to off field actions).

    Rather a guy scores good or bad on the wonderlic test I don't think it's an indication that they will be a good or bad quarterback.

    I wonder if Jon Gruden is gonna have any of these guys at his Gruden QB Camp.

    It would be nice seeing these guys hit the white board and break down plays as well as answer some of the questions he poses to them.

    I'm sure they will. I saw Bortles do something similar with Mariuchi during the combine.

    That doesn't mean his son is any more competent an owner. It's not like the Raiders have gotten better since he died.

    Long and informative. That football guy prints out a scouting report for all the college draft eligible players. They both talked only about quarterbacks for over two hours and covered Bridgewater, Manziel Carr all the way McCarron and Garrapolo. Good stuff

    The one thing i found interesting when talking about Bridgewater was their explanation of why Bridgewater's acuracy on the long ball drops off some. Louisville runs a short to long progression. Bridgewater's job was to look at the short route and then intermediate route and then the long route. While it's not unique it is unusual for most offensive system's in college and even the pros.

    The reason why is because it takes longer to set up for the long ball. The one scout said it's much harder to throw long when you have less time. But if you have an accurate quarterback that can pick apart offenses it is a favorable way to go through your progressions.

    Which makes sense because Bridgewater seems to throw long better on the run then when he is in the pocket and it is closing on him. It also explains why he throws a lot more short and intermediate passes.
