Jeremiah:.... Multiple NFL Teams Don’t Think Louisville QB Teddy Bridgewater is a First Round TalentBy Leo Howell - Jan 15th, 2014 at 6:33 pm
Dec 28, 2013; Orlando, FLLouisville Cardinals quarterback Teddy Bridgewater (5) warms up before facing the Russell Athletic Bowl at Florida Citrus Bowl Stadium. David Manning-USA TODAY Sports Daniel Jeremiah of NFL.com, and a former NFL scout, tweeted an interesting bit of information on Wednesday evening that should raise some eyebrows as to how the top of the draft may unfold. 
Whether it’s due to his lack of ideal height and weight or his questionable competition at Louisville, there are NFL franchises who believe Bridgewater isn’t a sure-fire prospect. If the concerns are about Bridgewater’s size, those same teams likely would pass on Johnny Manziel as well, meaning Blake Bortles and Derek Carr would be the two top quarterbacks according to those teams. And if the concerns are about size, the Buccaneers are unlikely to be one of the teams to balk at taking the player widely accepted to be the best in the 2014 draft class. Jeff Tedford coached Aaron Rodgers at Cal, and remains in contact with him to this day. And if Bridgewater were to hit an NFL weight room and gain 20-30 pounds, he’d be virtually identical to Aaron Rodgers physically. Add in the similarities to their playing style, and it’s likely the Buccaneers’ new offensive coordinator would jump at the chance to add Bridgewater to his offense, and allow him to help turn around the worst offense in the NFL in 2013. This is all speculation at this point, because any of the teams ahead of the Buccaneers (except for the Falcons) could take a quarterback. It’s unlikely that the Texans, Rams, Jaguars, Browns and Raiders are all included in the list of teams who are low on Bridgewater. In fact, it’s almost certainly not the Browns, as they’ve had a long-rumored infatuation with Johnny Manziel. But don’t count the Buccaneers out of the hunt for a franchise QB at the top of the draft. If any of the top options slide to number seven, Jeff Tedford will likely have his head coach and general manager’s ear to get an upgrade under center. http://thepewterplank.com/2014/01/15/jeremiah-multiple-nfl-teams-dont-think-louisville-qb-teddy-bridgewater-first-round-talent/?utm_source=FanSided&utm_medium=Network&utm_campaign=Around%20the%20Network
I'm glad someone agrees with me.Very leftwich like without the size imo.
Are u serious????? The only thing he has on common with leftwich is that their both black

The way he processes information and his inability to call the plays at the line. He's not a "leader type" either.And putting on weight, like a lot of people have suggested, would basically turn him into leftwich.But yeah, physically, he's more like jj, so I can see why the raised eyebrow.

Lulz.
He would have to gain about 60 pounds to look like Leftwich. And I'm not talkin muscle.
I still think he and Bortles are 1a and 1b. No way that more front office executives are higher on Manziel.
There is no way to compare this guy to Leftwich. That is probably the craziest thing ever to be communicated in the history of the world.
Lets hope those NFL Teams are the Texans, Browns, Jaguars, Raiders and Vikings (in case they want to move ahead of the Bucs in the draft).
Let the Smokescreen season begin . Those "multiple teams" are hoping to to get him to fall.

Perhaps he was talking to Lovie Smith.... ;D"Hey Daniel, you know I hear that the teams in the top ten - they don't think Bridgewater is worth a high draft and neither do I (wink, wink)"

Not true. Neither is in the NFL right now.

Oh please, that isn't it, look at this list of traits that both men share:BipedialismBilateral symmetrysteroscopic visionopposable thumbsgracile postcranial skeletonHigh cranial arc23 pairs of chromosomesX and Y chromosomesThe list goes on and on, mean they are practically the same player when looked at that way.
And this is why I hated that they pushed back the draft until May. It was already bad enough going from JAN/FEB until April but now a whole other month we get to hear/read these "expert analysis" and whatnots....
