Hoyer trade rumor
-
He can always add some weight. He has a decent size frame to do so.1. Bridgewater and Bortles play in the same conference
2.Watch the '13 Sugar Bowl between Lousiville and the Florida Gators. Bridgewater shit all over them, and that was when Florida was ranked 3rd in the nation due to their "world class sec defense". Louisville was ranked 21 at the time and NO ONE thought they'd win.
The fact of the matter is that Teddy's OC handed him the keys to Lousiville's pro-style offense and he did nothing but make good reads, go through progressions and get the ball out quickly. I don't care if he's a little skinny, he can run a pro style offense and he has the brain power to be successful.
I like teddy the most in this draft of QBs. Very smart player. He has most of the qualities you'd want in a day 1 rookie starter. Over some of the other prospects who may take a little longer to develop.
I don't think he'll get past the Jags though if Houston passes on him. But ya never know.
I'd be happier with him or Bortles than manziel, if we take a QB at 4.

that's why I'd be fine if the Browns moved up to 1 overall to draft him. I know most on the board think of "trade up" as a four letter word, but there is a reason the FO stockpiled draft picks

You are right. There is a reason they stockpiled picks. I am hoping that reason was to fill a lot of holes instead of a couple.

They can fill a lot of holes with 7 or 8 picks, plus FA. 2 pro-bowlers in the secondary, 2 pro-bowl receivers, 2 pro-bowl O-linemen, pretty stout front seven..... The single biggest 'hole' is QB, and if addressing that glaring weakness and still being left with 7 or so picks to fill the other holes is stupid, then I guess I'm a true-blue mongoloid.

There are 3 potential starting QBs (maybe even 4) in this draft. How can we justify passing them all up?? I get the fact that you don't want to trade up, but we have to do something about that position... there really is no way around it...
key word: potential. the only one i can see playing in the AFCN is bortles. then you've got your carrs and your fales. do we judge a QB because of the comp. they played? if so bridgewater shouldn't even be in the discussion. there's plenty of great QBs who've played shitty opponents. hell take weeden for example........................everyone was sooooo high on the ginger!

And Clowney is "potentially" a great pass-rusher. I don't know, but his 3 sacks and 41 total tackles last year aren't exactly awe-inspiring...

yeah that's where we differ. when i mentioned bortles, i meant he was big enough to withstand the pounding he'll probably get. bridgewater might be smart but when you got a lineman driving your shoulder 10 yds deep into the ground what are you going to out-genious the hit?
the competition reference was a joke (ref: my comment about weeden).

I'm not too concerned about it. Our O-line will look like a brick wall because they'll only need to block for a few seconds, and bridgewater has the mobility to get out of the pocket and find receivers when he needs to. Of course he'll take some hits (not even close to half as many as weeden) but he's a pretty tough kid and I'll take a slight frame over a slight mind/arm any day of the week.

lol no man it just means you have an opinion and we all have a lot of those

The last mobile QB in this division was who? Kordell Stewart? How can we say it hasn't been, or cant be successful when it hasn't been tried (guys that weren't garbage picks or free agent pickups)? The NFC West is where Wilson plays. A revolution just may be happening before our very eyes that goes right along with the pussification of this league. QBs are protected like never before which is why these smaller guys can be successful. Like it or not.

Mingo, Sheard and Kruger could all start over at weak side linebacker over Malcolm Smith. All had similar stat lines and played nearly the same amount.
Agree that the different schemes complicate the comparison, but I think your definition of "similar" needs work...
Smith in 15 games ( 8 starts) had 1.0 sack - 2 INTs - 6 PDs - 47 Tkls - 30 Assts - 1 FF
Kruger in 16 games (16 starts) had 4.5 sacks - 0 INTs - 5 PDs - 26 Tkls - 21 Assts - 2 FF
Sheard in 13 games (13 starts) had 5.5 sacks - 0 INTs - 4 PDs - 19 Tkls - 17 Assts - 1 FF
Generally when you suck, it means you don't have a quarterback. And you should draft the best one you can because without a great one, nothing else much matters.
Let us begin again...
Which means burning a #1 year after year after year until you get your guy... and by then the rest of your team is crap.
No thanks...

Sheard in 13 games (13 starts) had 5.5 sacks - 0 INTs - 4 PDs - 19 Tkls - 17 Assts - 1 FF
I'm adding in 1 tackle per game for Kruger and Sheard (which I believe to be generous), that's how I came to the "similar" conclusion. I'll tell you why.
Like I said before, the schemes are different. Malcolm Smith is Carroll's prototypical Will linebacker. He's quick, he's big enough to take on glancing blocks and he has good instincts. In the basic 4-3, your Will linebacker is the one who plays flow and basically follows the ball. That's what Smith is, he's a flow backer tasked with getting his hat on the ball. Plays are funneled to the Will.
In Carroll's defense, he is even more of a rover. Seattle plays the 4-3 under routinely, dropping Bruce Irvin down to the line and shifting Smith to the "middle" of the formation. He's essentially playing Will but has the freedom of being lined up directly over the runningback, shadowing him to either side.
The same happened with David Hawthorne before Smith, and you're telling me that he's not better than Sheard or Kruger?
There's no doubt that Smith has talent. He runs a 4.4 and has great instincts. But put him in another situation, another position, another scheme, and he's not as good.
So, in truth, I revoke what I previously said. Sheard or Kruger wouldn't start over Smith at weak side in Seattle. They're not right for that position. But I do believe them to be better linebackers in general.

anyone who watches that video and still wants Manziel over Bridgewater is nuts.

I didn't see anything overwhelming in the video, so call me nuts!

Well apparently your definition of overwhelming is pretty stringent. I saw a 20 year old kid who kept his eyes downfield under pressure, got through his progressions quickly and placed the ball accurately where only his receivers could make the catch (only interception off a tipped pass). How many times did you hear the announcers say "Bridgewater right on target again!" He overthrew the ball a few times and took some sacks, but he was playing against an SEC team with the 5th ranked defense on a big stage. Most importantly, however, was that he not only beat a team that no one expected him to beat, but he beat them big (up 33-10 midway through the 4th). Teddy completed 60% of his passes even with a couple dropped passes that hit the receiver's hands.
After the game Teddy was quoted as saying "I looked at what did and didn't work for quarterbacks during the regular season," said Bridgewater, picked as the game's top player. "They faced guys forcing throws ... and coach tells me, `No capes on your back or 'S' on your chest, take what the defense give you.' That's what I took. Film study was vital."
Sounds like a guy I want on my team...

Bridgewater has a beautiful touch on the ball. Manziel can do that. And both can throw accurately rolling
out to the left...both are very athletic.
But Bridgewater plays a pro style offense, and from the snap, keeps his eyes downfield, instead of on
the defense/scrambling around like Manziel. And Bridgewater was playing with an offensive line that
was completely overrun, and receivers that don't even rate with manziel's terrific receivers. Bridgewater
behind Hoyer for a while? Beautiful setup, and I wouldn't fear Bridgewater could be a bust.
His awareness, intelligence, and *work ethic" makes him a solid bet. But trading Hoyer to trade up is
taking a big step backwards to take a big step forewards.

Obviously Keeping Hoyer would be the best option, but I believe that Bridgewater is ready for the NFL. Even if they landed Bridgewater and kept Hoyer, I would expect Bridgewater to win the QB competition and be named the starter.
I like Hoyer as a mentor and reliable veteran backup, but if he wins the QB competition then by all means roll him out there for the season opener.

Although I am not a Browns fan, I do listen to WKNR radio during the mornings and afternoons(Rizzo & Goldhammer) when my favorite Baltimore sports radio show ends. I listen because I do enjoy their entertainment and insight. With that said, I do like to follow all things NFL, and especially the AFC North Division since I am a Ravens fan.Lately, I have been hearing rumblings about the Browns potentially trading Hoyer and picks to move up to 1st pick in the draft to select Johnny Manziel. With that said, I would like to make two things known. Number 1, I don't really think Manziel is that great of a quarterback...and with that, I don't think he is the right quarterback for the Cleveland Browns or the AFC North black and blue division. Number 2, since when was Brian Hoyer worth a hoot? I mean he has a 2 game resume (which includes beating the freaking Vikings). Why would anyone think the Texans would make that trade (saying Hoyer is their quarterback of the future?) I know the whole Bill O'Brien connection, but that's more smoke than fire.I wanted everyone's opinion on Manziel, the Browns and Hoyer because I just can't see how anyone who is a smart football person would sit here and say "Browns don't need to necessarily draft a QB in the 1st round, as they have Hoyer)...c'mon man! And with that said, why on earth would the Texans want a guy with no resume? He's Matt Flynn...and hows that worked out?I know most of you will be like "F this guy, hes a Ravens fan", but honestly, I would like to see the Browns competitive and relevant. I understand your sorrows as I am an Orioles fan and we deal with very similar issues and concerns.Look forward to hearing from everyone, later.

Also if the Texans really believe Johnny Manziel is the guy to take them to the Superbowl why would they trade that pick?
Answer: because it's a smoke screen more than likely. If you can get two first round picks and a decent starter, possibly, and you only have to move three spots? You're still probably able to take the highest rated quarterback in the draft or 1 of 2 can't miss players. Sounds like a no brainer for me if I'm the Texans GM. Let's hope Ray Farmer has earned his respect here for something other than not being Mike Lombardi.

Bridgewater's receivers aren't terrible, but it certainly isn't an all star squad; he has to deal with a lot of drops. But, like any good qb, he makes the best of what he has by knowing where to go with the ball, throwing players open and hitting receivers in stride

Actually the knock on him is that he does not have the frame size to add weight. He is tall, but he is not "thick".
Reportedly at one point during the 2013 season his weight dropped into the mid-180's.

Having skeletar at QB could be fun
I think with the right trainer he could gain a bit.
I'd hate to imagine a 180 pound bridgewater getting slammed on the blindside by a guy like Burfict.
