Brooks went a bit overboard with Bridgewater. He played well down the stretch but he's already got him as an elite QB. He can be, not sure he's a lock to be that though.
The ex-Louisville standout is polished pocket passer with all of the intangibles needed to develop into an elite player at the position.
He did use the "e" word, but context is important.
Bridgewater vs. Beckham is an interesting question - and again, context matters. For a team with no QB (especially with a weak QB class coming out the next year), it's hard to turn down a QB with Bridgewater's upside.
NYGs not take Martin in that spot? Matthews was hurt most of the season. A rookie Pro Bowl OL is better than one that didn't play much. If this is a do-over, that makes much more sense.

Thought the same thing, since he was one of the finalists when we took Beckham. But I guess Matthews was rated higher and that's the pretex of the article and why Clowney was there at #10 - injuries were thrown out.
BTW, I was not impressed with Bridgewater. I think Bortles should have been #1 based on the do-over.

Oh I don't disagree with taking Bridgewater #1 if you have no QB, I just don't know how polished of a passer he is now. Semantics anyway, you are as usual correct. I can't name one WR who carried his team to a Super Bowl, no matter how spectacular. You take the QB every time.
RE: RE: Joey: I think you and Brooks basically agree.
Odell at #1 is ridiculous. They both played in 12 games. I know it's tough to compare QB & WR stats, but Bridgewater touched the ball 351 more times then Odell on offense. Yet he only had 3 more TDs & 14 more turnovers then Odell had.
Teddy had 15 passing/rushing TDs & 15 INTs/Fumbles lost. Odell had 12 rushing/receiving TDs & only 1 fumble lost. Which is insane. A QB should blow a WR out of the water stats wise. I'm glad Odell won the real ROY award, but it still pissed me off that he didn't win the Pepsi Rookie of the Year award. Bridgewater won Pepsi Rookie of the week twice. Odell won it 4 times
Not now it doesn't, but I would have liked to see him win all of the offensive rookie of the year award. The Giants rarely seem to have players winning awards like that or making the All-Pro/Pro-Bowl. So I like to see our players get recognized.

I can name one. Terrell Owens. He took the Eagles to the Super Bowl and then watched Donovan McNabb blow it in the 4th quarter.
