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.

      something to feel good about in the offseason..."could be something special brewing in Carolina"

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      I've been hearing all about this "winning culture" for years while watching us piss away top shelf draft position with meaningless late season wins when we're already eliminated from the playoffs but being assured this is building "winning culture" just to inevitably suck again next year. With that said, I'll always take a playoff berth. Just make the dance and you have a chance to make some noise. But spare me the "winning culture" bullshit.

      Winning culture trumps ALL.    Here’s my way to long take:  Last season this team started out breaking the sports books and being the lead pipe lock of the week. They finished by being a tough out for both SB teams.  I don’t think they’ll pick up right where they left off, but for the first time in years they’re on the legitimate upswing. Honest to God NFL talent has been infused.  Offense is already going to be good for 2-3 more 3rd down conversions (I don’t think anyone will argue that) a game over last year so I’ll go (very optimistically) 5-6 more points better than last year’s team. ADDED: A legit backup RB and a money WR who catches everything, along with 2 promising rooks. No significant losses (sorry Miles). KEYS: Can Dave bob and weave play calling if things aren’t working? Does protection continue to hold for Bryce. Did this team pick up dudes who know how to find the end zone or will the struggle of 3rd and goal continue.  Defense. If they can force even 2 (hopefully 3) more stops a game on third down (not asking a lot, hopefully more), that’s good for -4 (optimistic) points for opposing teams.  ADDED: legit run stuffers. Legit (appearing) edge guys. LOST: Clowney. Question: With legit 3-4 talent can Evero finally show what we have been VERY patiently waiting on? To me, EVERYTHING on defense hinges on Evero. Everything. Every position group was upgraded (still not good enough, but certainly improved).  Losing Brown early and Luvu… completely and utterly devastated the run defense. Luvu put up one of the best seasons at LB this team has ever seen. His under appreciation by some fans was criminal. He alone was our 3 down stop machine. Brown was pretty much it up front. Those 2 held RBs in check long enough for safety help to arrive.  Coaching: Halftime adjustments and no prevent defense. In a nutshell, that’s pretty much it. No cutesy offense to show off WRs/Bryce when it’s not working. Use your sledgehammers, Dave.  There is finally veteran leadership and legit NFL talent. It’s going in the right direction (I couldn’t have been more wrong last offseason) to build a winning culture, but teams have to learn how to win, especially the games where nothing is going right (this team has NEVER been able to do that). They will still lose more close games than they win, and that alone is where it all hinges.

      Well, the Niners just doomed themselves to mediocrity

      With his current level of play I'm quite content to not activate his 5th year option and let him walk away for free after year 4.
