Jets open to trading Bridgewater

He may want a starting spot, but I just don't see it happening. The truth of the matter is that he was pretty mediocre as a starter when he was healthy. 6150 passing yards and only 28 TDs vs. 22 INTs.       

He probably just needs to focus on securing NFL paychecks for as long as he can.

I'd agree, but I'm not sure Bridgewater would.

The more I think about it, the Saints would make way more sense than the Bucs long term, but the Bucs provide a much better chance of starting right away.

It just depends on whether he's willing to think long-term or not. I don't believe he is, but that's just like...my opinion, man.

Like Kaep but moreso I think he would be a great backup for us in a pinch but QB2 is just not an appealing spot on this team for anyone with starting aspirations. Bridgewater would have to waste his best years waiting on Cam to retire. Not to mention Cam could end up playing longer than average (if he doesn't get battered) because he's more fit than your typical QB.  A Wentz/Foles sort of situation here would be the absolute best case scenario for someone like Bridgewater and that's a bad bet for your career.

The more I think about this...Bridgewater is young and proven (kinda).  I'd give a second rounder for him and feel really damn good about it.

2nd is steep.

 

But id give a 3rd (since we get a 3rd for Norwell)

And not think twice

Teams that don't have a starter you might give up a second to get a guy. But if you have a starter and give up a 2nd for a backup that's just poor management

Yeah, I get that.  I'd feel really good if he had to start that we'd be ok.  He is 25 and saw on ESPN that he is 1 month older than Wentz.  He could be a really smart idea.

    • Just another 1st round QB that never paid off for the team that drafted them or traded for them. It's been like this since the SB began. 36 QBs have now won the SB & only 13 of them have been 1st rounders winning with their original team. Namath 1968, Griese 1972, Bradshaw 1974, McMahon 1985, Simms 1986, Aikman 1992, Elway 1997, Roethlisberger 2005, P.Manning 2006, E.Manning 2007, Rodgers 2010, Flacco 2012, & Mahomes 2019. Only 3 have taken longer than 5 seasons as the starter to win a SB.  4  6  5  4  6  4  15  2  9  4  3  5  2 [the years it takes for these 1st round QBs] 5  1  4  1  3  1  1  2  3  4  [10 of the 36 have won a chip with their 1st team that haven't been drafted in the 1st round. These are the years it took them as a starter] What stands out? Only 2 of these QBs have lost their first championship appearance. Elway took 4 years as a 1st rounder & Hurts took 2 years as a 2nd rounder. Of the 10 non-1st round QBs, 2 are 2nd rounders, 3 are 3rd rounders, 5 are 6th rounders or later. Please stop wasting time on drafting 1st round QBs with such a high failure rate. The remaining 13 QBs are traded or free agent signings. Stafford, Favre, Young, Williams and Dawson are the 5 trades. Peyton Manning & Tom Brady also won for teams as free agents on a short stay as well as being drafted. The lesson here is don't waste your franchise on farming up 1st rounders for the league, and steer clear of trading for a franchise QB. Stick to finding that championship QB by drafting them outside of the 1st round or through free agency.  
    • I lost most of the respect I had for Fox in 2010. He should have resigned if he hated the job that much. Instead he stuck for his paycheck and let stuff go to hell.    I burned out on Ron too but my deal breaker issue with him was away from football and after he was gone from the Panthers. He may have been out of his depth but never quit on us. 
    • From where they were one year ago to now, pretty incredible. I mean, say what you want about Vrabel he is no Jerrod Mayo.
