Teddy Bridgewater vs. the Field

Recommended Posts

This is an interesting exercise that I was going through with a friend and decided I would try it on here. Basically a QB vs. QB comparison and who you would rather have as a QB. You can argue the points any way you like or justify it in any way(injuries, age, system, etc). Try to leave out salary just because that adds an element that is hard to account for.

Would you rather have Bridgewater or:

Josh Allen - Allen.

Fitzpatrick/Tua - I'll take Fitzpatrick/Tua(risky bet on Tua's future being the determining factor)

Jarrett Stidham - Bridgewater all day.

Sam Darnold - I'll take Darnold by a slim margin. Not that sold on him as a QB, however. 

Lamar Jackson - Jackson.

Joe Burrow - Burrow. I think he's a much better version of Bridgewater.

Baker Mayfield - Bridgewater. I just don't buy Mayfield as being anything but a below average QB. He's a mediocre version of a gunslinger.

Ben Roethlisberger - On the surface you would say Big Ben by a mile but he is coming off Tommy John surgery, so you have to question if he still has it. Still take Ben.

Deshaun Watson - Watson.

Philip Rivers - Rivers is nearing the end of his career but I'd still take Rivers at this point. 

Gardner Minshew - Bridgewater

Ryan Tannehill - Tannehill is a much more talented QB but the flashes have been few and far between. The best version of him is better than Bridgewater just doesn't show it enough. I'll take Bridgewater.

Drew Lock - Bridgewater.

Patrick Mahomes - Mahomes.

Derek Carr - Carr but not by a wide margin. 

Tyrod Taylor/Justin Herbert - Bridgewater

Dak Prescott - Prescott may be overrated but he is still a superior QB. Prescott.

Daniel Jones - This is tough. Jones took a lot of lumps as a rookie and the talent is there. Just not sure I believe in him. Bridgewater.

Carson Wentz - Wentz, even with injuries his ceiling is so high.

Dwayne Haskins/Kyle Allen - Bridgewater.

Nick Foles/Mitch Trubisky - This is tough. I generally like Foles a little better than Bridgewater but I would take Bridgewater over Trubisky. 

Matt Stafford - Stafford.

Aaron Rodgers - Rodgers.

Kirk Cousins - Given Cousins giant choking problems, you would think this might be competitive but Cousins has led the Vikings to a decent amount of success. Cousins.

Matt Ryan - Ryan.

Drew Brees - Brees.

Tom Brady - Even being washed up, Brady.

Kylar Murray - Eh....I am not a huge Murray fan but his upside is intriguing. Murray by an edge.

Jared Goff - Goff just strikes me as an average QB playing in a great offensive situation. I'd take Teddy but not by much. 

Jimmy Garappolo - Garappolo is another above average QB. I'd take him over Bridgewater.

Russell Wilson - Wilson.

Without question: Jackson, Watson, Mahomes and Murray.

Grudgingly: Rogers, Willson, Ryan and Brees. Dislike but too good to not admit in comparison.

With questions and conditions: Jones, Brady, Rothrapist and Rivers. One promising and 3 quickly decling has beens with still more upside.

The rest are guys like Ted that I would just prey it passes quickly and we can find a franchise QB again.

I dont think he can put the team on his back and win games.  I am pretty sure he is just a cog in the wheel and I honestly dont think he holds up for the majority of the season

Yeah, he's a pretty classic game manager and a pretty decent one.

You'd take Teddy over Stafford or Wentz?

Teddy and Stafford and Wentz are all JAGS. Interchangeable parts. Teddy will be fine with the new system. All he has to do is get the ball to our weapons.

Why do you say Stafford and Wentz are JAGS?

There are around 3 teams whose QB situation I wouldn’t take over ours. Jacksonville, Washington, maybe Chicago. 

Trubisky is being treated unfairly and management isn’t helping him one bit. Their entire offense is garbage. I’d love to see the Panthers pick up Mitchell.

    • Please don't tell me you just averaged the QB ratings of all of Shough's starts to declare his QB rating as better 😂 I hope you don't actually believe that's how it works.  Otherwise please show your math on Shough's QB rating as a starter. Thanks for including Shough's 2.6 more Rushing YPG in this comparison, really doesn't feel at all like you're desperately grasping for as many straws as you can here. The truth is, it takes a statistical bottom-tier starting QB like Bryce Young to make Shough look simply OK by comparison.  And that bottom-tier starting QB still, by your own admission, puts up more points for his offense than Shough.  You're framing this as damning for Bryce, but in reality the fact that him and Bryce are so neck-and-neck is shining Shough in a very poor light. Yes Shough is a rookie and Young is a 3rd year starter, which is why I circle back to my position of Shough having a "pretty solid, encouraging rookie season" whereas you're fanboying over him.  Never mind that Shough is 2 years older than Bryce though.  Normally yes a QB's experience in the league is invaluable...but Bryce is kind of a unique situation considering the biggest complaint with him is he is too physically limited to succeed in the league.  Do we think a QB can overcome severe physical limitations simply with experience?  Also I remember wayyyy back (/s) when we cared so much about DJ Johnson being an older rookie and our standard for them being that they're more NFL-ready and able to contribute sooner rather than later.  But now all of a sudden Shough is just a poor little 26-year-old rookie on an awful team.  Seriously...the way you frame everything around Shough is straight out of a fanfic.  Constantly referencing with tears in your eyes how he's succeeding against all odds on such an awful team.  Meanwhile the Saints' D is 14th in PPG and their offense (led by Shough) is 29th in PPG.  Telling me how the Saints managed a win on Shough's shoulders against the Jets last week who put up...*checks notes*...6 points against the Saints' D.  Yes god bless the savior Shough who willed his team to victory against those juggernauts led by Brady Cook.  Never mind how Taysom Hill threw as many touchdowns in 1 passing attempt as Shough did in 49 passing attempts.  Yikes.
    • Who's gonna drop the gloves? I can't think of a single player on this team that can fight. Period. Much less get the best of an opposing player. Please.
    • as a starter, Shough is better this year in all the aspects I shared with you.  Facts. You disputed nothing I said because I’m talking starts and my numbers are right
