This is a reddit post, but does he have a point? quote:The following are notes I've observed breaking down over 70 hours worth of official coach's tape on Teddy Bridgewater with the guidance of a regional scout for an NFL team not located here in Colorado. The notes were reviewed and signed off by him.

I dunno, I defer to someone who goes through that much actual tape, but I dislike cherry picking. It's easy now to say "look at this throw Tom Brady made once, I always knew he'd be great" but scouts did not think he'd be great. I also did not see much in the way of anticipation throws from Wilson at NC State, before he went to Wisconsin, so I dunno about "everywhere he played". Manziel certainly did not throw with anticipation often, he mostly just found the open receiver and threw to him, on the fly. I really want to go through the games again.

Super basic, but when you watch Bridgewater throw hooks, the ball is on its way before the receiver turns. It's not like he's incapable of throwing the ball before his receiver is in position to make the play. He throws his receivers open all the time. There's so many throws he makes downfield where the receiver has to adjust his body to make the play on the ball, and as he does it, you see how it was placed in the perfect position where only the receiver could get to it, and he does it while getting his face smashed in as he throws. His receivers were terrible, so given the amount of chemistry and timing he managed to get with them, I don't see an inability to put the ball in the open spot as his downfall. I think it's more working with your receivers every day and knowing when they're going to cut and where to put the ball for them rather than just some quality of a quarterback that he either has or doesn't. I'm not going to just discount someone who is basing their opinion on that much film, but it seems awful hindsighty and pseudo-scientific to start talking about what distinguished Brady and Wilson (who still struggles with basic ball placement) from the nobodies.

The line "The biggest difference between the pro game and the college game when passing the football is in college, you throw to an open reciever, but in the pros, you throw to an open spot" really stands out to me. I can't think of a single pro offense that I've seen where it's an either/or thing. I'm not an elite reddit poster, but including his description of Teddy's pro day as unscripted, it looks a lot like BS to me.

Forgot how much I love this dude. He's got an end that pulled off the line and is blitzing him right up the middle, a hitching receiver who is blocking his field of view to his target receiver, and he's staring down the far right receiver running the deep route. There's no way he could see the target accelerate out of his break, and he still puts the ball perfectly in place between a billion people. I don't buy it at all. This dude can put the ball where only his receiver can make a play on it in the NFL.

Nothing anyone says right now can be trusted. For all we know, the Packers are trading up for Clowney, Manziel is regarded as a 3rd round prospect, and Mike Evans is consensus higher than Sammy Watkins.

At this stage, I'm hoping all the talk connecting Bortles to Minnesota is coming from the same sources claiming that the Vikings were enamored with Te'o last season. I keep reading things about how Bortles is a perfect fit for Turner's offense and how he wants to play for the Vikings, which all sounds good on the surface, but then the more I look into him as a prospect, the more I think that he has a high likelihood of busting. He's raw, he has major mechanics issues, and while his ceiling is technically high a lot would need to go right in order for him to come anywhere near that ceiling. That Reddit critique of Bridgewater was interesting. I've read scouting reports before that have complained about his tendency to wait for receivers to come open rather than anticipate routes, which is something that is easier to get away with in college, but is a lot harder to do consistently against NFL defenses. The comments claiming that Louisville's offense only ran 5 or 6 plays out of different looks are interesting, but I haven't watched them closely enough to say if that is true. I'm also curious about the claims that the offense was designed for the QB to make simple reads, so if true, I am not sure how big of a concern that is. It is pretty much a requirement for me that a QB needs to be able to go through their progressions, because watching the past few years of Ponder made it clear how horrible it is for a QB to just make a read before the snap and just stare down the receiver. Cassel looked a lot better than Ponder in large part, because he would actually make his second or third reads and not stare down his target all the time.

It's basically a meaningless criticism. Edit: If the guy is trying to answer "why did Teddy have a bad pro day," he's making it way too difficult. Lack of glove + some instances of really bad feet (probably because of nerves). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=53UMp-cKzEU Coldforge fucked around with this message at 08:38 on May 3, 2014 |
