soooo you can watch the Texans not pick him? No way in all of Hades do the Texans pick a QB that is related to a former #1 draft pick, made by the Texans, and was one of the biggest bust in NFL history....
What does any of that have to do with winning now?
If he is there, they pick him.
Where are all these games TB has missed because of Glass Appendages? I must have missed them.
Teddy B completing the promise and more...
Pocket Presents, lol. Like lint.

If we start this draft off with Clowney, and Teddy 1-2.. I would be a happy happy man, before all the bad press he received from the media, and them picking out there favorite players.. Bridgewater was the top QB on the board.. I think a lot of people is sleeping on him because of his pro day.. Maybe the Aaron Rogers comparison is not to far off..![]()

If TB does fall out of the first round, it potentially makes 2.1 a very tradeable pick.
If he falls out of the first and we haven´t selected a QB yet - we`d be more than mad not to take him.

When have you ever know the Texans and Rick Smith to do the "smart" thing...
that was the point...

Happy happy Mother's Day!
Paid for it with his loss of value insurance.
If this statistic is the truest measure of overall accuracy, Bridgewater is among the most accurate quarterbacks who have come out of college in the past three seasons.
Note: The following comment applies equally across all college QB prospects.If this statistic is the truest measure of overall accuracy, Bridgewater is among the most accurate quarterbacks who have come out of college in the past three seasons.
On who's board?
That's the problem. As soon as they found out we had the first pick & that Bill O'Brien was our head coach, I think they realized that Teddy Bridgewater did not fit OB's ideal. Blake Bortle's name came out of nowhere, then when OB showed interest in Tom Savage, the idea of the Texans taking a QB with the first overall pick started losing traction.
Only so many QBs are going to be taken in the first, & if Bridgewater doesn't have the size OB wants, or the arm, or played against the competition he'd like to see, he probably won't be taken by the Texans at 33 either.
Yeah, well that`s basically the eye test. Completing a pass is about more than just throwing an accurate ball. It is also about finding the open receiver and making the right decision. Those are things not shown on a proday.
Bridgewater definetly needs to work on his mechanics, especially for long balls. And he needs to add zip on a regular basis, not just from time to time like he did in College. But he is not only a very accurate thrower, he has mastered the mental aspect of the game, that is so important (and that is the reasons so many prospects who can make all the throws and have all the tools fail) - and he doesn`t mind pressure.
Please, please, please - let us somehow get him. I don`t care if it is with the first pick, te #33 or with a trade up, but he is the QB I have the most trust in to succeed.
Not to shoot a hole in your theory...but let me shoot a hole in your theory.FF to 2012 and BoB as HEAD COACH at Penn State, his QB is none other than...
Matt McGloin - 6'1" - 210 lbs. This to me is much loser to TB than Bortles.
I'm not. Offensive coaches come and go through Foxboro. It's still Belichick making it happen in every facet of the game. He's a complete head coach. Maybe the last one left.I also think your giving defensive guru Bill B a little too much credit on the offensive side of the ball and making QB draft picks.
I read that, and I'm thinking of a QB in this draft. A QB whose has a thread about him in which I am posting. But, O'Brien could see these same attributes in Manziel, Bortles, or another QB. We'll find out as the draft unfolds."These are just some things that I believe in. I think when youre out there and youre thinking about who the quarterback of your team is, they have to have a few things. Number one, and dont laugh, theyve got to be able to throw the ball accurately. If you tell them to put it somewhere, theyve got to be able to put it there, and theyve got to be able to work at it to improve their accuracy. In my opinion they dont have to be the greatest athletes in the world. If they are, thats fantastic, theres a really great example of guys that are great athletes that are really good quarterbacks in the National Football League right now Kaepernick, Russell Wilson, RG3. Those three guys can throw the football. Remember that first, theyre accurate passers. So they have to be able to throw.
Theyve got to be able to make good decisions. They have to be able to be good decision makers. And you can judge a lot of that off the field. You can watch how these guys do things and carry themselves off the field, and theyll help you when youre watching them on the field if theyre making good quick decisions or theyre making crappy decisions. Those are things you have to observe but they have to be able to make good decisions.
This next one to me is really, really important. With all the multiplicity of the defenses these days, defenses at every level youre seeing even, odd, we call it diamond, bear defense. Youre seeing bear. Youre seeing overload blitz. Youre seeing up the middle blitz. Youre seeing man-free, blitz zero. Youre seeing blitz zone, from the field, from the boundary. With all that, in my opinion, your quarterback has to be intelligent. He has to have a great football IQ. And if he doesnt, if he cant learn it, then he should play another position. Im telling you, because nowadays that guy once hes out on the field has got to be like a coach on the field. He has to understand what you want, how you want to attack the defense, and hes got to understand football. In order to do it, hes got to put work in."
I think there are two reasons people say Bortles, not Bridgewater:
1. He praised Bortles after his team played against him.
2. I guess there was a quote, that he likes QBs with a prototypical build, since that is something you can`t teach.
Before that talk, the thing that stood out to me most was him saying, that he wants a smart QB that can make his own adjustments at the line. That screamed Bridgewater to me. Either what came after that was a smokescreen, or he believes that is something you can teach (while you can`t teach size).
Oh well, the NFL is full of coaches that believe they can teach the mental aspect to QBs and that fail...
I'm not. Offensive coaches come and go through Foxboro. It's still Belichick making it happen in every facet of the game. He's a complete head coach. Maybe the last one left.
I really don't think there's enough data to make assumptions on what O'Brien wants in a QB. But, this is he's on record that he's looking for:

This whole thread is all for not. Countless arguments and back and forth banter. So much time wasted. None of it mattered at all in the end.
All so we could waste our money and a valuable draft pick on this dumpster fire known as Ryan Mallett.
It looks all but official, but I'm holding onto a prayer it's a lie.
Ah chet, this will really suck. I'm ok with Clowney (I have to be) but going with Mallet instead of a trade for Bridgewater, Bortles or Manziel then that will really suck. I would prefer McCarron, Murray or Fales to Mallett.

I wouldn`t. Mallett was considered a first rounder at times, maybe even in contention for a top 5 pick. Character concerns were the main reasons for him dropping. BoB has worked with him, so he will have a pretty good idea of his character and his skillset.
I´d rather have one of the big 3 and I´d be alright with trading up to get one of them. But if we can`t get one of them, Mallett would be a great consolidation prize. He could turn into one of the marquee QBs in this league, and BoB had an upclose look of what he can do.
Edit: And let`s not forget learning behind Brady is not a bad thing either. He was raw coming out of college with a laser arm. Now after 3 years behind Brady and with NEs coaching, I am sure he will have corrected some of his mechanical flaws.
And if you get Mallett and McCarron, Murray, or Fales?
Not me. None of those guys starts this year, and it's debatable whether any of the 3 ever develop into a starter much less a quality starter. Possible, but far less than a certainty.
Mallett has more talent than any of the 3 mentioned and he's ready now.
That's cool. I never said or tried to imply he hates tall QBs. You're very likely a bad coach and not long for the game if you do. I'm implying he isn't running away from non-giant QBs. In college it's also not impossible or even difficult to replace a QB in 2 years if you see better elsewhere.
