How did I fail?

In b4 the scouting tear down as he's over analyzed.

This guy is gonna be really good. Hope the Raiders don't get a chance to get him.

Step 1: Acquire another team's backup QB to be your new starter. Point to his potential and ability to be a leader and keep the team in games. Ignore his inability to WIN games.

CHECK: Alex Smith acquired

Step 2: With a high 1st-round pick, insist there is no QB worthy of that high pick and that it is best to wait until later in the draft and get a similar QB at better value.
- 2A: After all worthwhile QBs go off the board between 1st and 2nd round picks, again point to value and draft BPA.
- 2B: Continue 2A until drafting a Ricky Stanzi/Pat Barnes in Round 5 or later

CHECK: Drafting a QB early avoided. Tyler Bray signed as UDFA to replace Step 2B

Step 3: Say you will wait until next year to draft a QB in the 1st and develop a franchise guy.

And... here... we... are

Step 4: Slog to somewhere between 7-10 wins and talk up how "competitive" your season was and how "close" the team is.

Step 5: When next year comes, watch in feigned dismay as all the "good" QBs go off the board before your pick. Sigh, sell "BPA available" and draft for that, saying "We're too close to winning something big to reach on a QB at this pick. Other needs must be addressed. We'll get a similar QB later at a better value."
- Step 5a: Again watch in dismay as no similar QBs are available by the next pick. Again draft BPA.
- Step 5B: Rinse and repeat 5A until eventually arriving at 2B.

Step 6: Talk up previously acquired backup QB, now-starter and how much talent you've added in the draft around him. Reference "weapons" and "chunks."

Step 7: Repeat Steps 5-6 for 2-3 more years, then reset at Step 1.

He won't be there when KC picks. There is no point in talking about Bridgewater or Aaron Murray. They'll be long gone.

We're going to miss out on this Gold Toof Dawg, too. And he's probably better than Geno.

No, he's not.

His mechanics aren't as good (e.g., his throwing motion is really varied, he doesn't set his feet much, etc.), he doesn't have the same pocket feel/presence and his footwork isn't as consistent coming out into his drops.

He looks like he's just a guy to me.

Gruden's QB Camp: Teddy Bridgewater

I can't view the video where I am.

Can somebody describe Bridgewater's personality in this Gruden bit?

He always seems mousy and quiet.

Interesting that he said that he almost quit football in his freshman year at Louisville because things weren't going the way he thought they would go (wasn't starting).

Likeable kid though.

Could he be Dorsey's Aaron Rodgers?

yes.

Gruden even mentioned that louisville runs a lot of west coast concepts. This would only accelerate his development in Andy Reid's system.

Bridgewater scares the hell out of me.

He's a guy that could have us pining for the days of a less brittle Brody Croyle.

I don't like his mental makeup and his timidness. He's going to get his ass handed to him on a silver platter on Sundays, hell he could get broken in the cold, and soon be an afterthought.
