Got an armchair QB look at Bridgewater in his bowl game yesterday. Impressive 4-TD performance in a blowout win.
What struck me about him in this game is how he seemed like an ideal WCO QB, which is ironic because he would probably fit Kubiak's offense quite well. The short- and medium range accuracy is very good, and he seems to just have a lower heart rate than most under a blitz. Pocket awareness and mobility is very good. He has a low and very quick release. Willing to take what the defense gives him. Has nice touch on his passes, though his deep balls seem to be 50/50s...
The thought of him having Andre Johnson and DeAndre Hopkins to catch his passes is intriguing.
As I mentioned above, I want a QB adept at reading defenses and performing well under a blitz. Teddy did that in this bowl game.

I think we'll hear about his measurables being a key negative in the pre-draft talk. For anyone wanting to believe this line of thinking, go do an image search on Tom Brady at his NFL Combine. I'm not concerned.
Word was that GM Rick Smith was in Orlando watching this game live.
