I have seen some speculation that Bridgewater might already be getting strong interest from a team (or two) who have communicated this to his agent. If that's the case, strategically, it probably makes sense to do as little as you can get away with at the combine.

He is not getting out of the Top 5...Jacksonville, Cleveland or Oakland...

Well he is the top rated QB by nearly every draft service and many scouts. However it is the same reason Johnny is not throwing, and the same reason McCarron was not going to throw. When you have the option, QB's prefer to throw in their own environment. I don't think any of the top 3 or 4 candidates the last few years have thrown. The ones who typically throw there are the ones who need to make an impression (lower ranked QB's) or ones that may not get the exposure at their pro day. Bortles was ranked at a spot typically where he would not throw either, but he chose to gamble to make an impression.

From what I see he is "a" top prospect, not "the" top candidate. He could very well be the top QB pick, but by no means is there a consensus on that. It seems to be a toss up between TB, JM and BB.

I agree with this. I don't' think he will fall any lower than that. None of the top three QBs will fall that far.

I think that this is a bad move by the guy! He needs all the work that he can get, hope that he is not a bust when it comes time to play!!!

Teddy will be just fine. And whatever team drafts him will be lucky to have him.

FLossY out...

At one point it was a question if she would even get to watch him play. Thankfully she did beat it and had great fanbase support. Louisville fans, I apologize on behalf of all other UCF fans.

Back on topic, I do think Bridgewater is receiving questionable advice. Should have thrown today. As a result I think he weakened his position from a perception standpoint. Gonna have to kill it at UL's Pro Day imo to stay at the top.

Get off your high horse. I never said anything bad about his mom. Everyone would take a free trip and lodging. You're stupid if you think this isn't going on and it isn't limited to UL. For the record he seems like good kid and will do fine in the nfl. Nevin and Clint loved him.

The 1st two QB taken very well could be out of the American...Bortles could go to Houston, Jacksonville or Cleveland...Bridgewater to Jacksonville or Cleveland...

No, you're stupid for implying she was taking monies/favors without a single strand of evidence. You're one of those dumb pricks who thinks it's ok to judge people in the media without even hearing any evidence to the contrary. Just admit you stuck your foot in your mouth. People will respect your honesty.....*
