He is Alex Smith to Derek Carr's Aaron Rodgers and Blake Bortles is Jason Campbell.
I'm starting to believe. Perhaps he really will break the black QB mold.
http://mmqb.si.com/2014/01/02/teddy-...014-nfl-draft/On the field, it’s been a perfect marriage. Watson began his career in the mid-1980s as an assistant at the University of Illinois under West Coast offense guru Mike White, who also had future NFL coaches Bill Callahan and Brad Childress on staff. At Louisville, Watson installed the same pro-style West Coast offense. While other college quarterbacks are looking to the sideline for their on-field adjustments, Bridgewater does it all by himself.
“I gave him the keys to the car as a sop re,” said Watson, who has been a coach for 32 years. “I had never done that before.”
Bridgewater has vast responsibility at the line of scrimmage. First there is the kill system. Two or three plays are called in the huddle. Depending on the defense, Bridgewater has the ability to “kill” the first play, and run one of the others. It’s solely Bridgewater’s decision.
Bridgewater also has an audible system at his disposal, with the same goal as every good NFL system: stay out of bad plays. If the play Watson has called has little chance of success against a particular defense, Bridgewater can change the play entirely at the line of scrimmage.
Finally, Bridgewater redirects the offensive line protections by either identifying the middle linebacker in man-to-man protections, or directing the slide one way or the other in zone.

Podcast @ 9PM: source intimate w/Bill O'Brien "Blake Bortles much more a Bill O'Brien QB than Teddy Bridgewater"
It's all about the combine and interviews. I think that Bortles is too flawed to roll the dice on with a number one pick.
bridgewater is the most pro ready qb in the draft, anything but a playoff berth is a disappointing season for the texans imo.
They could opt to trade down a few spots if they think Manziel is their guy.
if Texans don't draft someone like Clowney and draft a scrub QB with the #1 pick after all that tanking.
The Texans don't need a whole lot. They should just draft Clowney and trade as many picks as they need to to draft a QB if they need one by then. It's rare that such a talented team gets the first pick. They shouldn't act desperate.
They actually have quite a few needs. More Oline depth, more ILB's, more DB's(Joseph may become a cap casualty), more RB's(Tate is history), etc. They have take a shot at a QB with the first pick...whether it's Bridgewater or someone else. It's far from a sure thing, but neither is Clowney and they've been burned already going with a supposed can't miss prospect on the DL with the first overall pick.
If browns fall in love with bridgewater, id try to get their 2 picks for 1st and whatever it takes. Of course if Clowney is available with 4th. Then drafy qb with 2nd 1st round pick
There won't be many franchise QB prospects left at #32 tbh
I think Texans arent that desperate for franchise QB. Clowney + Watt pass rush and they can live with Schaub, Keenum for another year.
qbthe last time the texans had the number 1 they drafted mario williams. And he was still better then the two guys everyone thought would be drafted (young, and bush) I don't think they'll be drafting a
They are that bad? Schaub was decent in 2012.
It's wasting a year if one of them is behind center
but bridgewater has the black gene. when has a black qb drafted number one overall done anything?

Manning has done pretty well for himself as a number 1
Elway, Aikman, Bledsoe, didn't fare too badly either.
i meant to put when has a black qb drafted number one overall done anything meaningful?
Another good read about Bridgewater that shows the similarities in what he does on the field and what will be expected in O'Brien's offensive scheme.
