re: Mettenberger > Bridgewater

He's definitely better than those guys, and is most likely a day one starter. But an impact player and that next piece to get the Texans over the hump? I don't know about that. I'm honestly just wondering what you think...today who is better/ would you rather start, Schaub or Bridgewater?

Bridgewater is good and accurate. The problem I see is how far can he go. I think Mett has the better upside. Yeah Wilson won the super bowl, But he's not better than manning and never will be, same as kapernick. Those teams live or die by defense. With a semblence of an oline and a good Oc, was miles better.

I'd take my chances with Bridgewater if the Texans can surround him with the right pieces. Schaub is shellshocked imo.

Well, we found out yesterday why Jarvis doesn't get good separation, but I would say Beckham always had good separation. It's just that him and Mettenberger could never get on the same page with the long ball, sure they connected sometimes, but most time the ball was either overthrown or underthrown.

but Landry was so good at catching he didn't need much separation. Mettenbereger needs to get better at reading and making fast decisions to get rid of the ball at the pro level otherwise he'll be just a sack machine with his inability to move. That's what Cam had him workin on at the start of the season. Dropping back shorter and faster and makin quick decisions, but it tailed off towards the end of the season.

everybody has the mobility "thing" on Zach

All of it is speculation. Any QB that goes to the wrong situation with won't succeed and will be labeled a bust.

Tom Brady is the only statue in the NFL that makes it a immobility a non-factor. Mett is a statue and he will not last if he doesn't go to a team with solidified line. Bridgewater is the better QB right now. Take off the P & G glasses.

I like Mett and I hope he lives up to his potential, but I would take Bortles if we're talking about upside.

I have no doubt had Cam Cameron come a year earlier and no knee injury he'd be talked about right now as a top 10-15 pick if not better.

Also everybody wants to go goo-goo-ga-ga over Bridgewaters accuracy...one thing that stuck out to me when watching him is that he was constantly throwing to wide open WR who had time and space to adjust properly to the ball, making the throw seem better. I rarely saw him have to throw it into tight windows like we've constantly seen Mett do (one play that comes to mind was the throw to Jarvis this year in the A&M game over the middle of the field)

Let me state dat I am proud of what Mett has done and how much he has improved, but Mett and Bridgewater are ranked fairly Mett proved in the ole miss game that he still has problems with deep ball accuracy but he does have a cannon Bridgewater is a great kid who has taken UL to the next level his performance against UF was amazing and during his time at UL he has garnered some Heisman talk Mett is good but u r a little bias in your assumption that Mett is better than Bridgewater

In 5 years from now, everyone will look back and say Mett was the best QB in this draft.

The more I see and hear about the other QBs the more confident I feel about that statement. Has the best arm by far. Has played in an NFL offensive system, coached by a well known nfl guy in Cameron.

He might not be a starter until his 2nd year or so. But I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing.

He's got just a a good a chance to be great as Manziel, Bridgewater, etc. At best, I see Bridgewater as a solid nfl QB. I don't think he will ever be an elite QB. Manziel has something going for him. No doubt about that. But he also could flop. Mett, at his best, could be 1 of the better qbs in the league. And I don't think he's as big a risk as a guy like Manziel. Mett has an elite arm, even with nfl standards. He can make every throw in the book. The knock on Manziel and Bridgewater is that they only have average arms. Bridgewater is very accurate though. But can't throw the deep ball like Mett can.

If he didn't tear his ACL, you would hear his name being talked about as a riser and a potential top 10 pick right about now.
