So, just how good is Teddy Bridgewater? Is he worth the price spent to move up for RGIII? Is he a better prospect than RGIII was? I know this year will add to or reduce his value but based on right now.

RG3's stock really skyrocketed his senior year. Teddy isn't at RG3's peak (yet) hype-wise. He could do it this year if they beat another SEC team in a bowl or something. Although he doesn't run a 4.3, so that kind of reduces the highlight-reel potential, even though he's still a fantastic athlete. He's definitely top-5 pick worthy, though.

There is only one Black Jesus. Don't be a blasphemer.

Bridgewater looks good, but who knows what will happen. This time last season Barkley looked good, and a few months after that Geno was supposed to be the first overall pick.

I'm used to QB's being hyped up to the number one pick with this year being an anomaly...an insane anomaly. At least Clowney should knock him down a spot or so to make it slightly cheaper. It's very a-typical for Cards to make that kind of move and doubt it'd happen but it's fun to think about. Keim loves his picks and he showed he knows how to use them but you can't put a price on a legit franchise QB. It's pretty crazy looking at what it cost Wash to move to 2 versus Miami to 3 this year. It's like Miami got away with highway robbery, especially since their original spot wasn't nearly as close as Redskins was. Lambs did the fleecing for that QB hype.

I'd be happy if the Raiders landed Clowney, if Zombie Al were to resurrect and pick, he'd trade 3 1st rounders for Marqise Lee.

Is Clowney the next Suh? Suh was incredible in college for overpowering opponents but it hasn't been that simple in the NFL.

Basically does Clowney have good technique or is he brute force?

Different positions for one thing. My impression was always that Suh was so dominant because he was bigger and stronger than most of the guys he played against in college.

Clowney is just a freak athlete. I haven't watched enough of him to comment on his technique, but he's doing it against better competition than Suh did.

Doh, guess the Badger contract details weren't true, Peter King is a lying bastard. Agent says they haven't had talks yet but wouldn't be open to a no guaranteed money contract. Whatever, I trust we'll still have the upper hand when all is said and done.

Speaking of contracts, going to want to extend P2 this year. Wonder what kind of money we'll give him and how much they'll base it off of Revis' numbers. You aren't there yet buddy! Soon, but not yet.

Are there actually people that didn't know this still? I'm always stunned when people put him on any level above Bleacher Report blogs.

Clowney is basically the best high school prospect to come out in a long time, every recruiting site was in love with him, and then he actually lived up to those expectations. He's just a freak freak athlete.

This year's top recruit Da'shawn Hand is supposed to be as good as Clowney, but I'm not sure about it.

That sucks. I fucking hated PS3 updates. They were too frequent and took forever. Disturbing the same shit is happening on the U. Makes me nostalgic for the Cube, OG Xbox and PS2!

Those updates and downloads will become more and more a part of "the gaming experience". Something Im not looking forward to.

More? They've been a part of the console gaming experience for years now. Patches, updates, etc. The 360 has the least bothersome of the bunch when it comes to the relative speed/ease at which they happen. Between the massive Day 1 patch and now this new update which is in the 700mb range, it's been a useability nightmare. Thankfully, it apparently speeds up the interface quite a bit which should make it worthwhile. The dreadfully slow UI has been my biggest complaint towards the console since launch.

EDIT: ...and update failed. Update started process started all over again. *sigh*

So is Clowney a "sure thing" like Luck or RG3? Felt like we didn't really have one at all this year.

QB is the most important position in the game, so if Teddy is the best QB prospect coming out and has the talent of a Matthew Stafford or RGIII he should be the first pick in the draft.

Tyler Wilson was rated to be a top 10 pick after last years draft and dropped to the 4th round this year so lets see how he does this upcoming season before crowning him the #1 QB of this upcoming draft class.

Suh has been dominating in the pro game as well. He hasn't overpowered people like he did on college but if I'm building a 4-3 defense Suh is the first pick I take in a fantasy draft.

I dunno if I'd go as far as being a lock like Luck. He's pretty close though. Clowney is dominating the highest level of competition college can offer and he's only going to get better.

havent really turned on the wiiU in over a month. Still waiting for some of the games to come out and Im not really interested in all the ported shit.
I know how it is early on with a nintendo console so I dont mind it but I guess I should turn it on for the update if there is one.

If there is a future amazing QB to be taken, Clowney may go second.

Reggie White didn't win anything until he came to Green Bay and Demarcus Ware hasn't won a thing. If you want to win a Super Bowl it has to start with the QB. Although a pass rush is definitely that second piece to the puzzle.

Basically next years last place team may have to be prepared to be disappointed.

If there is enough good prospects, can always trade back into the 1st for late pick up. Im not positive there will be any "cant miss" rg3/luck type qb prospects next year.
