My, the times have changed since "Tank for Teddy"
You can question me about what I'm saying, or go watch some games.In those games you will see him look at the sideline quite a few times. If you look for it it's there. I even saw him give the Freeman "wtf" deer in headlights look.Needless to say, after I saw that, I immediately jumped off the TB bandwagon.
Are these the same critics that said Cam Newton would have little success in the NFL?

Maybe, but Newton carried a school on his back all the way to the National Championship, TB came nothing close to doing that
Leftwich comp. is bad. Byron had the a slower wind-up than Hideo Nomo.
31 TDs and 4 INTs, 11-1 record and an impressive bowl performance and his stock drops. Unreal lol.Bridgewater is an absolute stud. Reminds me a lot of Kurt Warner the way he puts balls in places only his man can get it.And I've said before I think he's a better player than Luck. Don't see Teddy following up a 3 INT postseason performance with a 4 INT performance any time ever.

This happens when players are hyped for awhile. There will be detractors who detract because they don't like the hype that "x" prospect is receiving. Some of that hype may be also take away some of the credibility or attention of a prospect they like better(Bortles, Manziel), which means more detract ion toward Teddy(or whomever) is pending.
I like the hype stuff, it helps our situation or sometimes it can make it worse, heck I don't know....hahaha
It might not be hype. There are stats on QBs under 215 I think is the line. Some teams might not risk an R1 pick on an guy they view as an injury risk. Might not have anything in the world to do with his talent in that case. Really, I think these QBs might be drafted high or they might slide a long ways. I suspect teams will put different, likely very, different grades on the top 4 guys.

I doubt we will see any sort of a Aaron Rodgers-type slide this year, or anytime soon. In the last 5 years, we have seen a lot of mediocre QBs go in the top 15. The only way that any of these 4 QBs slide past that #15 mark, is if one of them bombs in the pre-draft workouts/interviews.
The rookie cap has made it less risky. No reason to not take a chance on a QB if you need one. Even if you aren't 100% sold. The position is too important and the financial cost of being wrong is now very minor.
There's that little tiny risk of completely wasting a top ten pick though , I.E. - the chance to acquire an elite talent.No big deal ....

Worst case scenario is you have a serviceable QB for a moderate price that knows your system till you find another QB.

Is an elite safety better than an average QB? If the Bucs had consistent average QB play last year they would have been a .500 ball club.

I think given the distribution of QB's if one of these guys slides past the first wave they will be waiting for one of those same teams to trade back into R1.
