Saints trade 3rd round pick for Bridgewater - what would your reaction have been if Hurney did the same?

I'd be livid. $6M cap hit and a 3rd rounder for a guy on a 1 year deal we could've just signed in free agency. And while I would like Teddy as a solid backup for the right price, he couldn't lead us to a Super Bowl so if Cam went down there's no difference between Teddy and Heineken...

Wouldve loved it, IF we could lock him up for a couple more seasons (he's on a 1 year deal)

 

We have 2 3rds this upcoming draft due to Norwell.

We come out with one of the better backups in this league and still have a normal set of picks

Yeah, I agree. would not have been good value for us.

I'd be super pissed. That would eat up every bit of our available cap space for a player we'd be desperately hoping never stepped on the field... not to mention giving up a 3rd round draft pick... not to mention not having him signed beyond this season. It would've been a terrible move for us. It's not a great move for the Saints considering they could've just signed him off the street a few months ago, but at least they can evaluate him and determine if he can be place holder for once Brees retires.

Not to mention they now have very few picks in the top 100 next years draft.

I'd be livid as well especially since no one is taking into consideration they traded their first round also lol. They only gave a second round pick if I remember correctly that's ridiculous for TB. But let's be clear he's no dam Taylor Henk he's had 65% completion seasons starting in the NFL. Taylor would look like David Carr/Jimmy Clausen out on that field don't be confused  about what it takes to perform in the league.

    • the one thing this post has suprised me with is how much support there still is for young.  i dont understand why.  we had qbs before him that went to superbowls that lost support way quicker.  thr only qb we had had that started any number of games that played worse than young is clausen.  allen and moore played better and yet people still support him makes 0 sense to me
    • Again, can’t have a serious discussion if constantly wading through hyperbole. And you say that’s not really what was meant, but I tried to at one point get some folks to concede that he was physically capable of throwing a football 20yds just so we could get to a real discussion and they stuck with it. So I’m not sure your characterization is entirely accurate.
    • And this is his third year. As far as people not understanding things, I am not sure people accept how difficult it is to remake yourself from the ground up. Which he absolutely has to do to compete successfully at the NFL level.  He takes a step forward with the footwork and a step back when he is stressed and reverts to what always worked for him before. I will say it yet again, anyone that reached a level of success with their self taught technique but needed to rebuild to break through the limitations that imposed, will understand this. I don’t care what specific activity it is the same challenge. Muscle memory and comfort level fight against the new moves you are trying to train yourself to do without thinking.  He is there. There is a ceiling with his technique that is too low for the NFL. He has to retrain himself.  We are in the third year and I guess we are supposed believe that he will be so good  when he finally gets to where the new will be second nature, that we have to wait (how many more years) for him to finish doing it. If he ever finishes.  The sad fact is he will not succeed at the NFL level with his horrible college footwork and compensation moves like the tippy toe drop backs. He just won’t.  If he can’t put that on the table for us, we would be foolish to not seek an alternative plan.
