I feel ya breh, but I am basing it on the Texans as a team. Texans do not have 2-14 talent which is what makes the team a very different #1 pick. They have a good OL and solid running game. They have impact players on defense and would have been better with an additional pass rusher and a healthy Cushing. Hundley would be a lot higher risk on a bad team like the Jaguars. But on a Texans team with Johnson, Foster, Daniels and the OLine he could sustain drives with his feet. He can develop into a good QB while relying on pro bowlers to make plays. He is just not as polished as Teddy, but neither was Kaep coming out of Nevada. Manziel is exciting but he takes on defenders to much and that can lead to injuries at the next level with harder hitting players. I think the biggest question mark for him is his playing style in relation to his build/size. Teams want players that are available every Sunday.

Breh, I can't judge off of that. Then my analysis will seem wacky because these guys can perform a lot differently for the Raiders than they could for the Texans. I just judge the players.

With that said, I am really not sure about how teams will value these QB's for now. It does seem like the O'Brien hire means is highly likely Teddy is the pick by his offensive system and what he requires from a QB. It seems like Manizel is a lock for Cleveland at the least. I can see Jacksonville being all over the place but I think David Carr or A.J. McCarron will be their pick if I had to choose today. Hundley is a wildcard because he's raw but extremely talented but he's more raw than Geno or E.J. but he's more talented than them too. It's too early for us to truly talk about it cause senior bowl hasn't started and the interviews haven't came yet.

Hundley is more raw right now than Kaep, Hundley just is more talented and younger. I see your points though, where they land is vital but for now, I have no clue and guessing just doesn't work in scouting.

He is actually easier. He has a shytty OL, running game is inconsistent, and he doesn't have many NFL prospects at wideout. His defense struggles v. solid teams and he has to manage the game for his defense not to be on the field. His job is actually tougher than Winston.

Yeah, Teddy has average talent around him.

Bridgewater physical tools, skills, football IQ, pre-snap reads, height, and well most of his ability puts him in a completely different class than McCoy. That's quite an odd comparison. Spread guy with limited tools to a pro style wizard with NFL ready ability? Just can't see the comparison. Not saying it is a bad one, just saying it's better to never say it since there is few similarities.

Yeah, horrible comparison. Bridgewater is head and shoulders above Mccoy in every aspect.

They both gonna be the truth when they hit the league. If Teddy can land in Houston that would be the best place for him to be

This. Both are going to be superstars.

I thought the McNabb comparison was bad as well. Jameis is more accurate.

There are some similarities between Bridgewater and McCoy coming out. They both have average frames; plus athleticism; quick release; good field vision and anticipation. That said, McCoy was a system quarterback. He played with superior talent out of the shotgun. Bridgewater has better pocket presence; more experience under center; a stronger arm and more consistent mechanics with and without a clean pocket. I think a QB that throws with accuracy, poise and mechanical consistency under heavy pocket pressure--with a good arm to boot-- has a high ceiling in the league. McCoy's footwork set up under pressure and not wasn't at a first round level. He threw off his back foot a lot whereas Bridgewater doesn't, partly because Bridgewater has better overall pocket movement. Texas just rolled McCoy away from pressure or had him throw out of the shot gun, and this tendency didn't help his overall development imho. Bridgewater plays his games from the pocket which makes for better NFL projection imho.

Great analysis.

Alex Smith doesn't have bad arm strength. He actually has a solid arm on him, his velocity and variety of throws isn't up to Bridgewater's level. The biggest problem Bridgewater is facing is whites want to badly compare him to Black QB's when he really doesn't play like any of them. So they think of Garrard and Leftwich who just don't have Teddy's talent. Then you mix poor inter city kid with one parent and his pedigree is seriously question when the kid is well mannered, well behaved, and has a strong supporting system within his family. You can tell his siblings are probably have a decent job or went to college with degrees as a positive example for Teddy. He is really your exception to the rule, not the rule it's self. All things Teddy will unfairly face.

Teddy doesn't have great arm talent like RG3, Rodgers, Cam, Vick, and some before him.

Yeah, he seems like a good guy. WTF is up with ur comparison to Russell Wilson? Teddy throws a better ball and is way more pocket ready than Russell, at this point

First of all, Teddy is his own player. Comparisons are only use to give the reader some type of idea into what the player has similarities too. Russell and Teddy have similarities in terms of Football IQ, pocket presence, work ethic, both being pocket QB's with dual threat tools.

Yes, but at this point, Teddy is way more of a pocket passer than Russell was. IQ is about equal. Atheticism, Teddy is way above Russell in that category.

Wilson would be more of a pocket passer if he wasn't so short. He can talk about other things but his height hurts him and as far as athleticism, I don't see how you think Teddy is near Wilson. Wilson is faster, much better scrambler and more of a runner.

I think I will pass on full evaluations of other QB's in 2014. I have strong opinions about a majority of the prospects in this class. Manizel, Carr, Boyd, Thomas, Mettenberger, Murray, etc. I still haven't gotten around to Bortles seriously yet.
