Teddy Bridgewater on his way to being a franchise face

Now, if only he plays well, that's kind of important.

That part. The rest is nice but if that doesn't happen then it's all wasted breath. He has never sniffed it but who really knows, maybe he is an exceptionally late bloomer.

You don't need a superstar to win games, that's exactly what Jake Delhomme did. We got robbed a SB in 2003. I think Teddy Bridgewater will do great and win us alot of games. 

Different era of football. As much as I love Jake, Jake Delhomme isn't getting you to the Super Bowl in the modern NFL.

Sounds like Jake Delhomme.

Jake Delhomme isn’t good enough though. Not for what we let go. And Jake at least had a magic that Teddy has yet to show.  
 

Teddy has to play like a superstar to be the franchise. Otherwise we’re definitely hunting for a QB in the draft. The franchise QB is starting in NE.

Tom Brady won SB's from taking what defenses give him and taking care of ball. That's all you need, don't need 400-500 yds a game. Take what defense gives u and don't turn ball over. 

Hopefully Matt Rhule is on Belichick’s level (without the cheating) because that’s the only reason Brady ever won a super bowl

Quite a few Jake Delhomme types have made it to the Super Bowl in this era.

Nick Foles

2015 Peyton Manning

Matt Ryan

Young Russell Willson

Basically you can win with a great defense.

    • That was always the fear, expectation, concern, etc, I had.  Someone showed a still shot from his pick last game and said it showed that the defender closed 3 yards on that ball in the last portion of its flight. I forget the number. 10 yards I think it said but that sounds extreme.  When guys are open by a step, any slowing down to wait for the ball lets the defender back into the play. That sort of stuff makes the margins so small… these NFL CBs are not slow.   It is a league that highly values foot speed; the 40 times and drill times are scrutinized down to the hundredth of a second when evaluating these players on both sides of the passing game. Receivers and defenders both.   My thing with his arm strength (or anyone’s) was always “why do you want to do that? Plus pay extra picks to put yourself in that situation?”. Asking for trouble.     I wish there was a way to measure velocity on the back half of a throw compared to when it left the hand. Or really get accurate reading of the flight time of a ball from the near hash to the sideline, 10 yards down the field. Because teams could use that info. I have always seen this as being a disadvantage with Bryce but it is beyond my ability to quantify it.   I think it would show what that arm strength is really about, a lot more than just measuring how much air can you put under it so it will fly as far as possible.   
    • Who didn't see that coming.... 
    • Its a detriment if he can't play...as we are seeing.
