why Teddy bridge water is a good qb for us as of now

What I like about Bridgewater: He hasn’t had a chance to be “the guy” since he was in his first couple of years since Minnesota. This is his opportunity. He didn’t put up amazing numbers for the Saints this year, but he went undefeated. He’s 27, hitting his prime, and was worth a 3-year contract. He’s not going to move like Cam, but with Joe Brady and these receivers, he has a chance to put up seriously great numbers. 

other free agent quarterbacks have gone to new teams and done better than they did before ( perfect example is Drew Brees). If something crazy like that happens, then I see no reason why he’s not the guy. On the other hand, even if he’s only as good as he’s ever been in the past, that still makes him a very good bridge quarterback for whoever we have next.

So I think it could go either way. I’m leaning towards him being a bridge to the future, but it could be either/or... TB5 has been one of my favorite quarterbacks since he entered the league, if he balls out, obviously we keep him on board. If not, then we ship him off. His contract seems to say no though.

 

It’s clear this season that the team wants somebody who can learn this new offense. Bridgewater is familiar with the system that Brady wants to run. He can eventually run it and they can groom a future quarterback.

Being that this is the first year into a seven year project, there’s no rush to find the quarterback of the future today. Maybe will Grier comes back ready to knock it out of the park. Maybe walker surprises us. All of it is highly doubtful.

I think this year they simply want to quarterback who can manage the offense, learn the system, and then hopefully set us up so that next year we can draft a quarterback that we can groom. By Bridgewater’s second or third season we will have figured it out.

Lawrence, Fields, Lance in that order is who I want. 
 

You forgot to mention, once we draft one of these guys and Teddy looks decent - he’s gonna have some trade value because his contract is front loaded. Seems like a win-win when it’s all said and done correctly.

Where does this optimism come from that a journeyman QB is going to develop into something else in his late 20s?

The same glass half full optimism that hopes an injured player can come back and do well.  We have been doing just that with Cam for the last 2 years minimum.  No telling whether or not Teddy would decent, great, or out of the league right now had it not been for the bad knee injury.  It is a toss up, so why not think positive.  He did look pretty good stepping in for Brees, which is no small feat.

I think there's a difference between a player returning to form and a player transforming into something they never were.

    • Rams since you beat them already and they are 0-2 on the road against NFC South teams.
    • Let's say we take care of business against the Bucs and/or the Falcons take care of the Saints and we lock that 4th seed for the playoffs. Who do we root for this Sunday in the NFC West matchup with Seahawks at San Francisco winner takes the NFC West division. A Seahawks win would mean we face the Rams at home or with a 49ers win we host the Seahawks again.  Which opponent would most prefer? In the earlier Rams game we won primary due to turnovers specifically Mike Jackson pick-6 in combination with a good running game with Chuba and Rico whereas we kept the Rams offense off the field and Bryce was able to connect on two big 4th down throws for touchdowns. However when the Rams offense was on the field they pretty much got whatever they wanted, Williams and Corum gashed us in the run game, and we had no answer for Devonte Adams. Granted whe were missing some pieces on defense with Horn and Moehrig. Against Seattle our defense held it's own for the most part, it was our offense and turnovers which aided in the Panthers loss.  Seattle was the most stingy, best tackling defense the Panthers have played all season, and when we turned Darnold over we didn't do much with it.  The offense had no answers for what the defense was throwing at them and apparently were caught off guard by the amount of man coverage the Seahawks played.  With all that who do you think would be the better matchup the 2nd time around? I trust Stafford far more than I do Darnold, both running games are on par with each other, of the defenses Seattle has the dominant unit.  I personally prefer Seattle again, that would mark their 3rd consecutive road game, we've just played them, so we know exactly what to expect, and I feel Caneles should be able to come up with a better scheme to counteract what the Seahawks defense was doing, and we may be able to trip Darnold up, I don't want to try and win another shootout against the Rams.               
    • I remember watching him at bama and thinking he throws a lot of wobbly non spiral balls that have very little velocity. Knew it would be a real problem in the NFL and it is.
