Bridgewater virtual Presser

Recommended Posts

Bridgewater demonstrated the ability to read defenses and run a pro style system back when he was in college. The biggest question I had about him was whether his body could hold up to the kind of beating he'd take as a pro.

When he got injured so badly in Minnesota, that looked like a valid concern. But since then he's worked his way back from it and was able to play efficiently for the Saints last season. That's also a pleasant surprise since he looked like dog flop in the season ending game against Kyle Allen.

Here's hoping he and Brady work well together.

I’m rooting for Teddy and I hope he succeeds. Hopefully, as a fan, I don’t have to go through another QB change for a long time.

no kidding, heh.

I think Teddy seems like a good person and has room to become a great QB.  He has big shoes to fill but I look forward to seeing him play, and hope he excels.

So far my opinion about this move  hasn't changed...

TB is here for a opportunity and a chance to help a quicker turnaround on this rebuild..

He and the team are taking a chance on each other.. While still  being in position for a Tepper tear down.. 

I knew he has some assurances and promises from the coaching staff and FO before he signed here for less money then he could have gotten..

They aren't drafting a QB this year just by the way he talked..

"Success" might be a relative term.

If he serves as a good fill in and mentor while the team prepares their next franchise quarterback, then after that slides into the backup role, is that a success?

I'd say that's better than what happens to a lot of guys, so for me it's a yes. Others might disagree.

    • Ideally Bryce and the other starters should get at least a full quarter and an argument could be made for 2 full quarters given how they've played early in the season the last few years.
    • A rookie that has never played a snap and a proven 1000K NFL WR are not going to be viewed the same in these type rankings.  And calling draft picks, lotto picks, isn't some new quip I just invented.  take the big 3 Hubbard, AT, insert whatever 3rd Panther you want vs Kamara, Hill, Olave.  Most football folks outside of Carolina are picking the Saints there IMO.    
    • You didn’t really address the point, just like you ignored the point about the RBs initially, and saying “they are all lotto picks” is just a really silly reduction because you could say that about literally any player rookie or vet every snap, every game, every year. It is well known that different positions have different hit rates, and I would argue different types of prospects within position groups as well, and that hit rates change the further down in the draft you go. Everybody knows QB is different and that, for example, first round OL have a really high success rate. Using your lotto ticket analogy…again…you are saying a lotto ticket with a 1 in 100 chance of hitting is the exact same thing as a lotto ticket with a 1 in 2 chance of hitting (this is an example, don’t take these odds literally). The point was he is no more of a lotto ticket than the 31yr old receiver coming off a major knee injury, and in my opinion he is better odds with a higher potential “jackpot”. Saying one player is an “lotto ticket” while another isn’t is just not sound logic. You have no idea who will break out, regress, get injured, etc. There are safer bets than others, that’s all. I don’t think Diggs is a safe bet and even if he was, weighing him over all of the Panthers WRs plus 2 1k rushers is just dumb. You can disagree if you want. The list is stupid.
