Those "in the know" think Bortles will be better in 3-5 years than Bridgewater because of his tools ...

Yep this is the scout-speak we get this time of year when we spend less time watching game film and more time looking at measurables and projecting what may happen some time down the road.

Granted, my viewing of the QBs game film has been less than exhaustive, but of what I have seen, Bridgewater is clearly ahead of Bortles (and I question how well Manziel translates to the NFL and a 16-game schedule).

The size/speed guys like Clowney and Bortles are bound to get the bump up boards in the Combine and Pro Days. Question is just how much this impacts the Texans, and especially since this is the first year with O'Brien, no one really knows for sure. Sorry internet couch scouts...
