This kid is a prime example of being in the spotlight for so long that his flaws get ridiculously exaggerated.
A year ago he was the #1 pick and a franchise QB. Now apparently he's too small at 6-2, and there are questions about his accuracy after he decided not to wear a glove at his pro day after wearing one his whole career at Louisville. Imagine, he's deemed inaccurate because of a pro day workout when he completed about 70% of his passes throughout college.
This kid has everything. He's tough, smart, a strong leader, and has a huge will to win. Anyone who saw him in college saw him hang in there and make throws when he knew he was going to be plastered. He threw guys open, made the right checks at the line, and was pretty well an all-around stud. It's quite impressive watching this kid break down tape and read defenses. He ran a pro-style in college and listening to him talk I'd say he knows more than 70% of the junk QB's in the NFL right now.
This is a franchise QB and reading that his stock has dropped so much that he could be taken in the same round as Tom Savage is comedy at it's finest. We'll see if it's all smoke from teams or not.

Been feeling like the only one. Bridgewater may not be an elite prospect but I take him over the any other qb in this draft. A pocket qb who can read progressions and manipulate with his eyes, sign me up. His pro day is being overblown. Who cares how he looked on roll outs? Anyone who has seen him play knows he is a pocket passer and that isn't his game. So for all 2 throws a game where he will throw rolling out he is being downgraded? Watching him in college I never had any concerns of his ability to throw on the move. His pre and post snap reads are so far ahead of every other qb. Its him and then everyone else. Come draft day i'll still be surprised if he doesnt go in the top 15.
People are saying Bortles hoes ahead of him and now even Derek Carr. Derek Carr stinks. Those guys will get you gm fired. Physically they have what you are looking for the strong body, big arm, quick release. Mentally I don't think either is there. Low football iq, poor awareness, and can't handle a good pass rush. Imo awareness and pocket presence aren't things that you can teach.

would have been a lock top 5 pick if he had a decent pro day. he will have nightmares about that forever. too bad, he is a smart kid and a decent qb, not a franchise qb tho.

I said it LY i'll say it again if people want Johnny Football i'll take Teddy Football and i'll beat you every time. Bridgewater is the 2nd best qb in the NFC North and i fear the Vikes more than the Bears or the Lions
