John Middlekauf of CSN Bay Area and Gil Brandt of NFL.com report that Cardinals quarterback Teddy Bridgewater has contemplated staying in school. Brandt adds that he would be “shocked” if that happens.

We’d be shocked, too. Bridgewater currently sits at or near the top of the expected draft order. He can’t push his stock much higher by staying in school for another year.

Even if he could, the current CBA doesn’t reward waiting. Before 2011, coming back to school could for some players help both the coach’s family and the player’s family by driving up exponentially the player’s expected earnings on his rookie deal. Now, with the dollars at the top of the draft dramatically lower, it’s far more important to get to the NFL and start putting in years toward the second contract, when a player (especially a franchise quarterback) can get paid a lot of money for his services.

mariotta could want to try again to win a championship. Not an option for TB.

Why is everyone so high on this kid? He's a good player, but doesn't really stand out.

Hmm I disagree. UL joins the ACC next year. Considering the fact that Clemson & FSU could be done. UL could be in the mix.

Who does this potentially open up for highest drafted QB in 2014? Tahj Boyd?

Clemson, more than likely

Florida State, umm NO. You do realize Winston is only a redshirt freshman?

I think this helps out Hundley from UCLA if it actually happens.

1. He needs to get his time in toward his 2nd contract

2. His stock can't go any higher. Staying another year won't increase it and he could pull a Locker

Better chance next year with a four team playoff than this year.

All the more reason for him to go. There'll most certainly be a fall off for them going from routinely playing cupcake schedules to an ACC schedule.
