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.

      Doesn't it get tired just arguing the same point over and over no matter what's happening?  It was posted as a way to bash Bryce, someone says all the offenses that run very often are near the bottom.  Then it erupts in to the same people making comment after comment about how bad bryce is.  There is no conversation, there is no dialogue, there's no football talk that doesnt just devolve in to how bad Bryce is.  There are other conversations about the team that could be had.

      On NFL Power Rankings we have moved up from last place to the 21slot we jumped 8 points the Saints are in last place now   Rank 21 8     Carolina Panthers 1-2 Three of the Panthers’ seven victories with Bryce Young starting at quarterback have come against Atlanta. He’s 3-1 against the Falcons and 4-25 against the rest of the league, which is strange, but no one is going to sneeze at a 30-zip whooping after the uninspired 0-2 start. In the first 96 minutes of the season, the Panthers were outscored 53-13. Since then, it has been a 49-0 edge for Carolina. They certainly feel like a more confident operation right now, especially defensively. There are still some warts that could come out against stronger teams, but this suddenly doesn’t look close to the worst defense in the league. Chau Smith-Wade had a pick-six, Mike Jackson added a pick and Christian Rozeboom and A’Shawn Robinson were highly disruptive. This might not be the 1985 Bears, but the Panthers’ no-name defense has come alive.   NFL Power Rankings, Week 4: Lions and Chargers vault into top five, while Colts crack top 10
