Some fans showing ill will towards Bridgewater right now, and then you’ve got some fans being fake, while hoping for Lawrence after this years up. 
 

In all honesty, both those sets of of fans are giving Teddy a big F U. Good luck, Teddy. At this point I hope he wins quite a few games this upcoming season. I’m rooting for him 

If the season goes on and the virus situation is still in effect the players will be without it's fans while they play with no fans to see them.

Welcome to the show Teddy B.

Remember Teddy you signed up for this.  Wishing nothing but the best for you as we move forward.  May the Football Gods have mercy on our souls.

#Panthers cocktail of explosive weaponry, up-tempo coaching style, and probably a bottom-5 defense is recipe for low-key #fantasyfootball success.

HIGHLIGHTS:

Every Tuesday during the 2019 season, the New Orleans Saints’ defensive backs gathered in a room and watched their upcoming opponent’s offensive tape for about 90 minutes. This may sound like standard practice, but multiple Saints insisted it isn’t.

There was a secret ingredient to this. Turns out that in these Tuesday get-togethers, the defensive backs had an unofficial member — Teddy Bridgewater, the Saints’ 27-year-old No. 2 quarterback.

Bridgewater, teammates said, regularly popped his head into these meetings and served as both a sounding board and football professor of sorts, someone who regularly helped the Saints’ corners and safeties by explaining exactly what the quarterback was trying to accomplish on each play. 

“I’d say, ‘Teddy, come in here with us — what is the progression of the quarterback right here? OK, we’re in this coverage — where is he going to go next?’ And he’d just break down the whole offense,” safety Vonn Bell, one of the leaders of the Tuesday get-togethers, told Yahoo Sports last season. “He’d show us where the quarterback is looking, how to break down defenses. He helped the safeties by saying what [the quarterback] is looking at.”

This willingness to help the first-string defense isn’t normal in the NFL, teammates said. “It’s monumental to have that, because not every quarterback is willing to have that conversation with the defense,” Apple said. “He was very unselfish from the jump.”

So if you’re looking for a reason why the Saints rallied around Bridgewater last fall, when he went 5-0 as the starter that unselfishness is as good a place as any to start. 

Bridgewater’s extreme competitiveness often bubbled to the surface during those practices against the Saints’ first-string defense. 

“Just the way he attacks practice ... I mean, he comes in and makes it fun going against the ones,” defensive end Cam Jordan told Yahoo Sports. “He’s like, ‘Hey, I call it ‘Completion Thursday’ or ‘Toast ’em Friday.’ He brings a competitive edge so we were ready for it.”

Bridgewater never let it interfere with his desire to help his teammates off the field, earning him kudos in the Saints’ locker room.

“He’s a solid dude, man — he’s been helping us for real,” Bell said. “We appreciate him … he shows a passion for this game and it’s real. It’s not fake. He’s gonna let you know how he feels.”

Bridgewater says he’d also eat chicken wings and watch Thursday Night Football with the defensive line after practice and do competition drills with the linebackers on Saturdays. Long ago, he learned the importance of leading from the front as a quarterback, and to him, that meant ingratiating himself to every position group as much as possible.

And that’s why, when Bridgewater killed it during his starting run in 2019 — completing nearly 68 percent of his passes for 1,384 yards, nine touchdowns and two interceptions — his teammates couldn’t have been happier.

“It felt like a real close family member doing good, when you see him out there doing what he was doing,” Apple said.

“I wouldn’t say he was 100 percent healthy when he first got here, and we watched the work he put in,” Jordan said. “So it’s overly admirable, and that’s why he’s so respected.”

So much so that a funny thing started happening during his five-game starting run in 2019: Bridgewater says his teammates weren’t the only ones who seemed to be happy for him. Opposing defensive backs would warn him not to throw their way, but in the same vein, also tell him to keep being who he is and wish him the best.

and note that same team is still praising Teddy and wishing him the best, even though he signed with their division rivals.  First Tweet of congratulations on signing came from Sean Payton.(who does that?)  Panthers their coaches and fans will feel the same way about Teddy i'm sure of it ...
