TOP PROSPECTS FOR 2014 DRAFT

BTW...compare Ken Dorsey's college numbers to Bridgewaters....

They are basically the same.

Bridgewater is not mobile which will kill his NFL value. He is a 3rd - 4th rounder.

Lol barring injury he will go in the top 10 and lol Ken Dorsey played on teams with the greatest collection of talent on offense and defense for 3 years in CFB history..

Teddy all through last season was getting recognized as a future top 10 pick and unless he regresses he has a very good chance to go top 2 with Clowney.

Morris is probably a 2nd/3rd rounder at this point and if he develops his consistency he can possibly be a first rounder.

Kenny also played AGAINST top talent....TB played FL and who??

TB has this year with that schedule to prove he is a heisman guy...
 
Dorsey played against the same conference TB does/did. The Big East.
 
But Louisville's schedule this year is a total joke, so for this year its apples and oranges.

I've spent a lot of time hating on Bridgewater in draft circles because of the history with UM, but he's absolutely the top guy for next year at this point. He still has a good amount of room to improve his game, but I really think that the way he has progressed so far means his JR tape should be even more impressive than his very good Soph. tape.

His greatest strength is his accuracy, but specifically just how well he locates the ball when he's on his game. The reason he's up at 68% is because he rarely forces any errors (to borrow a tennis term). He can be inconsistent with his footwork, which leads to some bad overthrows that better teams would capitalize on, but when he can step and throw he's deadly. I think his arm is passable to do everything he'll need to in the pros, even if it's not a Stafford type arm, and it shows itself better downfield than it does putting zip on intermediate throws. Athletically he's fine, and above-average to good in terms of today's NFL.

Now for a more pressing issue, I honestly think that while other QBs will certainly be more hyped heading into the year, there isn't a Sr. QB in the country more physically gifted than Stephen Morris. There are some rankings where he's sitting behind guys like Mettenberger and Thomas, two kids who are talented but are coming off mediocre at best years. If Morris wins games early this offense is going to get a lot of attention with he and Duke, and you'll hear a lot more 1st round discussion without any true locks up top.
 
I think it is an interesting article. Do you take the freak athlete coming off the edge or if one a QB steps up his game to be dubbed a "franchise" type player...

'Cane On.
 
Comparing college stats for QBs is beyond stupid. Guess TTechs QBs should have been #1 picks all those years, how did the NFL get it wrong?

Bridgewater is legit, can't really be debated. Will be a top 10 pick unless he falls on his face this year. That said I love Morris and think he has one of the best seasons in Canes history.
 
Geno Smith was sure to be taken 1st overall
Then he was sure to be Top 10
Then he was sure to be the first QB taken...

Very few NFL teams need a QB.

The QB position is the strongest it has ever been in the NFL. Only one was taken in the first in 2012 (Manuel who will be a huge bust)

If Bridgewater is the best, there won't be a QB drafted in the first round.

No chance Jacksonville takes him. Oakland will have a top 5 pick and they won't either. Who is left? Cleveland....no way.

Matt Barkley was going to be the #1 pick.....what happened?

But why? Jacksonville could easily take a QB, they just secured a Left Tackle for the future. Oakland has Flynn, Pryor, and Tyler Wilson, none of whom are anything special. Cleveland is starting a new regime with no allegiance to Brandon Weeden. Any of those three could opt for a QB, as could Arizona (Palmer is a stop gap), Tampa (Freeman appears to be hated by the staff), San Diego (Rivers' off year at age 31), or even Tennessee and Minnesota depending on how this season goes for their 3rd year QBs. Quarterback is the most important position on the field, if a stud is there you take him.

As for Barkley, guys rise and fall, and any player could jump up or down over the course of the year. Geno had a gimmick offense, and Barkley was limited physically. We're projecting Bridgewater to have a big year based on what he's done, which is why he's in that discussion.
 
MoSikes....

Bridgewater ain't going in the top 10 picks.

Matt Barkley and Geno Smith are far superior prospects to Bridgewater. The Manuel pick was a joke. 1st year head coach and GM retires AFTER draft. Buffalo is the worst organization in football right now.

Sorry.

No disrespect, I just wanted to hear some reasons why you think that way. Everyone has their opinions, all we can really do is wait to see how he does this year. Hopefully #17 kills it and we'll have a 1st round Cane QB to hype up.

IF SM has to kill it we 7-6 again....BALANCE is needed
 
Morris over that racist any day of the week.

Is he gonna pull a Manning if he gets drafted by a whitey coach?

Who is more racist. Bridgewater for wanting to play for a black coach, or the universities, for hiring pretty much only white coaches, despite the huge proportion of black players on the rosters?

I don't see a **** thing funny about that. It's at the bare minimum debatable.
