I would take Stafford or Wentz for sure. I do realize that Wentz has a Mr. Glass sort of history, so I can understand being concerned from that aspect.

Stafford is a playoff choke artist

I would take Teddy over Carr, Darnold, and Foles too. Other than that I agree, though I am still not 100% sold on Burrow, time will tell

Those are close races, IMO. A lot of the middle tier QB's are pretty close.

Talent wise Bridgewater may not be tops in the league, but it's been proven you don't need an extremely talented QB to win games in this league.  If the coaches play to his strengths he will turn out fine

I mean, he's only been in three playoff games. I suspect if he were on a more successful franchise, he'd probably have more success. We may never know.

Anyone trying to argue Bridgewater > Stafford needs to pursue a career in stand up comedy because that's hilarious.

Stafford just gets ragged on because he is on a loser franchise. Had he ended up on a good franchise, he might be regarded as an elite QB. Is he worse than Prescott? Prescott gets mentioned by some as being elite. I'd probably rather have Stafford.

Bridgewater can be successful. He was in Minnesota and in New Orleans.

If Teddy balls out this season will you eat your quota of crow?

Except Darnold, I have never seen anything to like about him

He can be successful if he's surrounded by an elite team. I think he's just a placeholder for us to help install Brady's offense.

Define "balls out".

Eh.....I sort of want to believe in his talent level but that was one I thought about quite a bit. It's more of a gamble on his upside than anything. I could easily accept most arguments to take Bridgewater over him.

He's a pretty good game managing QB. I think he is a guy that will pretty much rely on a strong team to be able to win. We'll get that answer definitively in Carolina because we are a team currently built to lose early and often. If he changes that narrative over the course of a season, then perhaps I will buy into him as more than just a game manager type. 

All he can do is prove us right or wrong at this point.
