So RG3 would still be an unquestioned bust if he was picked by a team that only had to burn one draft pick to get him and had the benefit of sitting behind a veteran for at least two seasons to allow for enough time -physically and mentally- to get accustomed to an actual NFL offense?
There was absolutely no downside to drafting Bridgewater in '14. None. Nada. Zip. Zilch. You draft Teddy and let him sit behind Alex for a minimum of two seasons with a supposed QB guru in Andy Reid getting him ready to take the reigns of the offense whenever he's deemed fit which would probably be the 2018 season.
AKA the exact same thing Green Bay did with Rodgers and Favre in 2005.. That decision made with John Dorsey heading up college scouting for the Packers at that time.
