The frail and scrawny Teddy Bridgewater

This is what frail, scrawny look like in NFL analyst/scouts' eyes:

 

This is a video of Bridgewater taken at the IMG Academy as he's preparing for the NFL draft with Chris Weinke. We've all been hearing how small, fragile, and slow Bridgewater is compared to the monstrous Manziel. This video clearly shows TB without pad. No way in hell is he 6'1 196. Apparently the media read his profile coming outta High School where he was listed as 196 and ran with it intentionally to build up the drama. Once they see him at the combine they will all claim he added a bunch of pounds and got taller(lol). They will then say his stock shot up and now worthy of the number one pick. He's so pro ready they had to find or manufacture a flaw about him to they can say he's not worthy of the #1 overall pick or "there is no Andrew Luck in this draft". I'm getting tired of hearing that phrase annually this time of the year. I think TB is better than Luck. Heck, it doesn't take much to be better than him. Just don't throw 7 INTs in 2 playoffs game and you're better.

 

Bridgewater will probably measure a little over 6'2, between 210-215 pounds, and will run between 4.50-55. Not that I care where he gets drafted but it's good to point out when the media is manufacturing a story in front of our eyes.

Gotta agree for the most part. I am also hearing that he is the only qb with a first round grade on a couple teams top 10 big boards. Right now every team is opperating on the principles of sun tzu. He has enough flaws (size) and peers with enough hype (manziel) that a team may get stupid.

If he comes at the combine at 6 '2 215 (which is most likely) and shows off a great arm during pro days, alot of the smoke will clear

Personally i think he and luck are the two most polished qbs to come in the league since manning.

How tall is Weinke?  He looks much shorter than him.

 

Why not put this in the draft section?

I think Weinke is listed as 6'4. Different angles of the camera shows different height difference. I thought about putting it in the draft section but by then I had already clicked send.

I think Luck was 'reported' as the most polished QB. He was a packaged deal by the media, so nothing reported about him can be accepted as true. His polishness didn't show and hasn't been shown so far. The guy is an INT machine once the game is put on his back. He's a 20-25 attempt guy to be successful. Just like Alex Smith and Eli.

but he does kinda have a point

im also sick of hearing the phrase, "theres no andrew luck in this draft"...

russell wilson, cam are better than him, and younger as well

What he has is an unhealthy obsession with Andrew Luck.

It's the only thing he ever talks about. Doesn't matter what the thread topic actually is. He tries to find a way to make it about Luck. It's like anytime someone says something good about Luck he drops to the floor and throws a tantrum that would embarrass a three year old. Apparently he has nothing better to do. Ditto FBIAS.

Sad really. This could well be the most important offseason in Panther history, and all these nimrods want to do is whine about a guy who doesn't even play in our conference.

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.

      Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.
