Read, listen, weep... Here's a couple comments from QB guru Greg Cosell on TB. If you just want to see what Cosell said and skip the rest, just search for "Cosell". : http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/nfl/news/20140122/teddy-bridgewater-nfl-draft-2014/ Much more in the audio here, starting at 4:00. Sees TB as good, but not a great arm. He also projects he'll measure 6'1" 195. And Manziel is a "leap of faith". Ouch. : http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/nfl/news/20140122/teddy-bridgewater-nfl-draft-2014/
Teddy could very well fall and us get our shot at him. I think you'll see Blake Bortles go as the 1st QB. Could be another year where lineman are taken early and often. I like Teddy a lot but I also respect Cosell's analysis as much as anyone. Guess we'll see how it goes.
I also respect Cosell as a QB talent evaluator. Glad to hear some of the pros are seeing the same weak a$$ QB class that I am. Its not as bad as last year, but its not good.
Isn't Cosell a Glennon fan ?We need to give Glennon another year.

If memory serves, he thought we had the chance at having gotten the best QB in the draft in the 3rd round. I would like to see what Glennon can do with something resembling and offensive line playing in front of him. It appears that when he gets time to set his feet he is pretty accurate. About the only QB who might have been successful with our OL last year was Vick in his prime due to all the "lookout" blocks.
During the season I recall him saying that not only is he the best QB in this draft , he is better than RGIII .
Going to be interesting to see what the other Gruden does with RG3 this year. For his sake I am hoping he didnt ruin himself by rushing back from injury.
What a difference a year makes. Went from potentially being one of the strongest QB classes in years to pretty weak.

I'm not sure it was ever as strong...for the pros...as the hype was protraying. When you look at it, none of them fit the mold of the classic Pro QB.
He talks about teddy being a qb that doesn't get flustered. Well, Freeman didn't in college either, so what?For all the talk about this qb, and that qb, people tend to forget upsides once in the nfl. His is limited.Manziel, IF he has a OC/HC that will set up plays correctly for him, the sky is the limit. He's only going to be held back by someone trying to change him drastically.
With Manziel, it's all about the TOs... Not a coach in the league will tolerate them for long.
A bunch of folks here were convinced this is an extremely strong draft class for QB. Your number one QB is a guy who wasn't even talked about until the last week of two of regular season CFB. So tell me again that this is the best QB class of the decade? Lmao

It is still one of the strongest QB classes in a long time. After the combine the naysayers will be eating crow.

People don't understand what makes a class "strong". History shows the best QB classes ever produce three longterm starters. That's it. Can this class produce three longterm starters? Maybe. If it only produces two, that may not be "strong" but at least it's pretty good. Some classes produce zero, like the Jamarcus Russell/Brady Quinn class.
