If Bridgewater is starting for the Saints in 2019 and Brees is retired, I'll be absolutely thrilled. Not that Bridgewater is a bad QB, but he's in that Andy Dalton range of being the definition of not bad/not good. I'd much rather deal with that going forward if that's their plan.

There are four levels of QBs in the NFL.

  • The Franchise: guys you know are the guy (Cam, Brees, Rodgers, Brady, Russ, etc.)
  • The PlaceHolder: guys who you know aren't good enough to be the guy, but you don't have anything better: (Bortles, and looking like Mariota headed in this direction)
  • The Kid: guys in their rookie or second year (Trubisky, Josh Allen)
  • Purgatory: guys who have shown you just enough to think that maybe they could be the guy, but you just don't know (Dalton, Winston). 

Teams know what to do with the Franchise, the Placeholder and the Kid. It's teams in Purgatory who don't know what to do. I would say Bridgewater, based on what I'm seen, is currently in the Purgatory group. 

(This isn't original, but I can't for the life of me remember where I heard it.)

Smart move. He will be one of the better back-ups in the league, and Brees ain't getting any younger...

I wouldve given up a 3rd for him.

Solid backup, he wouldve already known Norvs system here too

Itll be interesting what going ti happen.  They are cash strapped with Ingram and Fleener free agents next year too.

Im sure Teddy will not want to sign real cheap, more as a higher end backup if he is being told in he is the future plan once Bree's hangs it up

Fleener isn't on team.  They cut him.

But agree.  Teddy will want starter money or guaranteed playing time.

This is a great move. Been needing an heir to Brees for a while. Bridgewater is as good of a replacement as you can ask for.

Sitting behind Brees will be great for him, hopefully he can work on his body and put  some muscle weight w/ no pressure to start.

He wasn't very good in Norvs system. Bridgewater doesn't have a very strong arm and a majority of his passes are underneath. Definitely a better fit in Peytons system.

no way in hell i give a 3rd

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      As I've said numerous times the last few days, having Thielen on the field has literally 0% to do with my views on this (I've even said I think Renfrow is going to take a ton of snaps from Thielen anyways).  He has more value to this team without playing a single snap than a 2026 5th round draft pick does for the franchise.   His value is helping set up T-Mac, XL, Coker, and Horn for long term success by helping them learn how to be pros, how to go about their business, how to train, how to do all the little things that helped turn Thielen from a D2 undrafted player into a borderline Vikings legend.

      Official Panthers roster cuts thread

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      He only wants to be traded because it's the Vikings who are calling. If he didn't want to be here, he could have retired, instead he took a pay raise to come back for another season.  I get it, it's an opportunity that he'd like to take, but we shouldn't cut off our nose to spite our face because he now wants to jump at this opportunity less than two weeks before the season starts. I'm not against trading him, I'm just against trading him for a return that doesn't help our team as much as having him on the roster would.  I'll put it this way, if a 5th is the best we can get for him from the Vikings and he's now dug in on not wanting to stay this year, I'm saying screw you and trading him to any of the other 30 teams besides the Vikings for the best offer we can get. He was perfectly happy here a week ago, if the Vikings soured him on that and then want to get him for peanuts, then screw them both.

      Yes and no, he wants to go back and his wife most definitely wants to go back. He took a bunch of team mates to Minny and has worked out with JJ two offseasons in a row. It's where both him and his wife are from.    The money was basically a please come back and help Bryce. Pretty please...here's some more money.    Now he's agreed to a paycut to go back to the Vikings.
