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.

      My point exactly. Does that mean they have a poor offense? Of course not. That is why cherry picking stats without context rarely results in an accurate and fair assessment.

      Lotta football to go, and a lot of things can change.  Team health makes a huge difference down the road.  The big thing is and will be getting a rhythm.  2015 and 2013 are great examples.  That said, while we have a schedule, we dont really know who we're gonna play past a few weeks from now and by that I mean, like, end of october we're scheduled to play The Buffalo Bills...but between now and then, what if theres an injury to Josh Allen or just suffer a rash of injuries to any position group really.  Lots can change honestly and after 3 weeks, we're healthier than we were last year after week 3 with our only serious injuries to Hunt and Corbett (who...sorry the guy got injured, but Mays continues to outplay him).  the other injuries are short term return situations with JT Sanders, XL, and Coker.

      I get a lot more than you. Scheme dictates average yards per play for example. If you run a lot like Philly your average yards per play will go down versus a team that passes all the time. And if you only play 3 games  then one outlier like Jacksonville holds more weight than it should. Plus yards per play doesn't correlate to wins for example versus effectiveness in the red zone. So yeah I get it and know that stats like yards per game much like yards per play have little correlation with wins and loses and the final score is the only thing that matters at the end of the day not some BS cherry picked stat.
