Last year, over the course of a week, I wrote progress reports for three quarterbacks from the Class of 2014. It was reasonable at the time to suggest that none of those three passers -- Blake Bortles, Teddy Bridgewater or Derek Carr -- had separated from the others. If anything, Bortles was getting the most hype after throwing 35 touchdowns during his second NFL season.
A year later, those comparisons seem silly. Bortles continued to be turnover-prone as his mechanics fell apart during his third season, while Bridgewater suffered a catastrophic knee injury and missed the entire year.
