Teddy Bridgewater
-
All Bridgewater has done since being the best passer in college football is throw badly in a t-shirt and shorts. If anyone thinks it means anything, they don't deserve a job in the NFL.

i don't have a job in the nfl but i can still see and bridgewater has done nothing to impress me.
i'd rather see JF land here than that china doll.

If this doesn't impress you than you are a tough sell!
i've seen that. impressive how he got out of the containment but if that's what you want, look at film from JF. he did that twice a game, every game basically.
a 'miracle' toss to a wide open guy in the end zone does nothing for me. if a QB CAN'T do that then they shouldn't play the position.
i personally don't like either of them but if you want 'miracle' throws and escapability there's no way bridgewater even comes close to JF.

Why the fuck are some people so high on Johnny Football?
I'd love to see a demographics breakdown of those that love Johnny and those that don't. See if there's any correlation anywhere
Leadership, intangibles, and most importantly moxie.
Johnny Manziel takes the excitement, leadership, and shitty mechanics of Tebow, and mixes it with the diminutive frame of Colt McCoy. He's just won games at every level he's played.
^Sums up pretty much everyone who's pro JFF

I'm a little confused, was this an argument for or against Manziel?

My only thing is that I don't care if a player can run around and make plays on his feet like Manziel or RG3 I'd rather have someone that stays in the pocket and extends plays with his feet like Brady does or more similiarly like Russy Wilson does.
I know you can squelch it a little but the problem I have with Manziel is the times that he runs out of a wide open pocket and then creates with his legs. I mean, obviously its not bad in NCAA but its not going to happen in the NFL with the same risk vs. reward. I'd rather he stick in the pocket, wiggle when he needs too and get the ball to Gordon, Cameron, Hawkins instead of using his feet as much. I don't know if Im explainging that. I guess Im saying I feel like Bridgewater feels pressure better than Manziel but Manziel is more electric with his legs.

I'm comparing him to Tebow and McCoy. What do you think?

i just think the bridgewater pre-draft fluff machine has been out in full force. i just don't see it. there's no fire in the way he moves. there's no fire in the way he communicates. it's like the light bulb is on but it's battery operated.
there's no way bridgewater feels the pressure better than manziel, i mean that's what JF is all about, that's what the scouts love about him. does he look to get out of the pocket when he feels the pressure? yep. but it's better than taking a sack.
like i said i'm not fans of either but if it came down to the two, manziel would be my pick.
now if you want a pocket passer, take carr.

Carr does not step up into the pocket when the heat comes. He bails the pocket at the first sign of pressure, and he's not nearly as elusive as Johnny. If you want a pocket passer, go with Bortles or McCarron.

I'd buy most of that. I don't like Carr but I think the Browns do. I also should have prefaced it with I'm not sure who I like more of Manziel or Bridge. Bortles is my number 1 but I'm not in love with any of them.
I probably explained t weird. I think Manziel is so good at creating with his feet that he sacrifices plays before there is any pressure on him so he can use his biggest weapon which is his feet. I don't think that will work in the NFL and definitely not like it does in NCAA.
There is a difference between moving in the pocket like Bridge does from pressure and creating plays with your legs like Manziel does.
He is also one of the worst QBs against the blitz which to my non-scout eye is mainly about recognizing pressure or to a lesser degree his height but I don't subscribe to that too much.

i know. but that's the only knock on him. each and everyone of these guys have something negative in their game.
it's just who has what the FO sees in them i guess.

Well that and his mechanics are all over the fucking place Mik. The fact of the matter is this kid has a goddamn cannon for an arm and never had to fully develop his mechanics and consistency with said mechanics to make all the throws. He has a great enough arm to just rocket that SOB out of there even with shitty footwork and follow through.
I honestly think IF Carr can correct those two issues he will be a fantastic QB. From all accounts he has great football IQ, leadership, and ability to run an offense. I'm just very very concerned that much like Weeden, Carr's issues with pressure, composure, and faltering mechanics while under pressure are ingrained in his psyche and thought processes. If that's the case it will be extremely difficult to develop those defects out of his game, as we just witnessed for two years with weeds. That's the million dollar question with this kid.

Carr's flashes of Weedenitis scare me, but at least he won't be a 30 year old Rookie.

The more I read, the more it seems like massive groupthink, and then certain guys trying to break out from the herd with outlandish opinions.
Hoge and Jaws are definitely seeking web hits, there's no way with all their experience they can believe Manziel isn't worth a 1st 2nd or 3rd-round pick.
Starting to hate this.
I finished my grad school project yesterday and am going to get back into the swing of things, just in time, but it's gotten to the point where this event is more about popularity and rumor to drive advertising than it is about talent evaluation.
I hope you are enjoying your visit to the 21st century!

How many other QB's have had complete control of their offense and do it so well? The guy is smart, and if you look at a guy with similar football intelligence like Luck, his skill is evident but what separates him is how he takes his time and puts together 6, 7 minute drives. Bridgewater will be that same type of guy, Manziel is a guy who doesn't operate well out of the pocket, and considering him because he's a "playmaker" is just evidence you eat that shit up that ESPN feeds you.
-
Show me the stats that prove Manziel is an efficient QB in the pocket.
He definitely bails from the pocket more than any other high-profile QB, which is a terrible quality for a QB.

Very very interesting mike... Though stats only tell part of the story this really took me by surprise!

I will be surprised if he is still around at #4. But if he is, grab him.

and if you want to look at the real stats, look at this:
it's amazing how manziel and bridgewater took more sacks than carr, isn't it?
