The Zen of Teddy Bridgewater

Teddy Bridgewater reflects on that horrific injury from 4 years ago and how far he has come since. 

Teddy took tragedy and turned it into inspiration and an opportunity to better himself both physically and spiritually it seems. 

I don't know if you guys remember, but I read when it happened that players on the team were vomitting from how bad it looked. That cannot be an easy thing to bounce back from. 

Good on ya Teddy. I am 100% in your corner.

It is totally different, but I think Covid has really had the same effect on a lot of people! Looking back, reflecting and making changes in many shapes and forms.

A lot of people are going to come out of this worse off, fatter and more broke. On the other hand many others are going to come out stronger. I personally have lost over 20lbs just biking/gym out of boredom, earned a new feather in my career cap with an extra certification I had been meaning to do for years but never really had the time for, and found that i could live happily pinching pennies and moving forward even when back to work I will be able to save close to 70% of my income.

Good on Teddy for coming out of that experinece and better and stronger individual. I hope this once-in-a-lifetime situation we are dealing with and the tailspin it has thrown many of us into will yeild the same kinds of result: They we learn and grow stronger from it!

I for one can’t wait to see what Teddy and DJ can put together with CMC on the check down. I’ve watched Teddy all the way back to his days at Louisville, stand up guy and a much better football player than anyone is giving him credit for. Hope he stays for a long time.

well put.  95% of anyone who's actually followed Teddy's career as in watching actual games,  all rave about Bridgewater.  Saints fans said all the same things as Panthers fans are now, but they'll learn just like the Saints fans did.  They'll learn...

I think Teddy is going to impress a lot of folks. We'll be looking back at them picking him up and understand it was a very, very smart move.

I certainly hope so, I don't see that, but would love a good story.

Like trading a sports car for an SUV.  At first, you think, "This sucks." Then you start noticing things--like the roominess, the convenience, and the versatility.  While it cannot do all that a sports car can do, it meets more needs.  It takes time.

I would add that with Bridgewater at QB, the Panthers might just be harder to defend.

No reason not to like him. Trashing him wont bring Newton back.

I really don't understand why people would dislike Teddy. He didn't do anything but overcome what most thought would be a career ending injury and signed a contract that will set him for life.

Butthurt over management's decision to move on from Cam shouldn't have any bearing on Teddy being a good guy. Last time I checked, Teddy didn't cut Cam.

      Mike White or Hendon Hooker coming back?

      By strato · Posted

      Absent proof that he absolutely  concurred 100% with his superior, there is nothing that can change my opinion.  Also, I would appreciate it if you would not lay the motivation for that opinion on wanting Morgan to succeed because he is an ex Panther. I do want hi. To succeed because of that and just because he is the GM of my favorite team, but I have enough independent thinking ability to separate my feelings down what Insee.    I said many times before Morgan ever made GM or before Bryce was chosen that I could not believe and ex player could endorse that decision. I was speaking of Reich but also a MLB? Really? I feel like any ex high level defensive guy would be salivating at the prospect  of facing a Bryce in a game.   Whether an ex Panther, a Giant, a Buc, whatever jersey they wore.

      Stats clearly reveal that the Panthers are among the least efficient passing teams in the NFL

      Years ago there use to be a website called Cold Hard Football Facts.com. I used to hang out there to read the articles and their interpretation of the football data. After the midseason point, when teams had generated enough data to set trends, these guys could predict the winner of game 75% of the time using nothing but statistical data. They said the single most important piece of data for passing efficiency is Yards per attempt. "I think" they said any team at 7.0 yds/attempt or higher would usually be among the top 10 teams in the NFL year in and year out if even if they only had an average defense. The lower the number, the least successful the team. https://www.espn.com/nfl/stats/team/_/view/offense/stat/passing/table/passing/sort/yardsPerPassAttempt/dir/desc If you toggle the column and arrange it from best to worst the data clearly proves their point. Nearly every team above 7.0 this season (16 in all)  has a strong chance of making the playoffs with the possible exceptions of Washington and Dallas. Washington has been decimated by injuries this year and Dak's excellent season is being overlooked because the Cowboy defense can't stop anyone in 2025. The teams below 7.0 are clearly the tier 2 and tier 3 teams in the NFL with the exception of Denver which is currently sitting atop the AFC West at 8-2.
