Except for that whole Teddy has 34 games of starting NFL experience to look at part.

Considering that those first 12 starts resulted in being recognized as the NFL Rookie of the Year was followed up by a 16 start performance that ended in a Pro Bowl + NFC North title, he very much looked the part before a devastating injury in 2016 basically sidelined him for 2 years. Then, he was finally able to take his first snap as a starter during the final game of 2018 with the rest of the starters resting for the playoffs?

Then, of course, those next 5 starts he went 5-0.

So... considering those 34 games, he should start.

Yeah, he should definitely start for us. I don't think anyone is arguing otherwise.

My apologies on the semantics: he looks the part.

That would be the best outcome. Love the haters reaction .

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. 

Do the people who parrot this line realize that Brady has 11 4000+ yard seasons?

You do know math right? 4000/16 is 250 yds a game. If he threw for 5000 it would be around 300 yds a game. Hey bud maybe next time go back to complaining about our team!

Drugs.  Lay off of them.

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.

I know we all hate Ryan but he was the 3rd overall pick. The Falcons had the 6th worst scoring D. They got to the SB on offense, not D. Also, Foles got to the SB in part because of Wentz. I know Foles is one of the players people like to use as a you don’t need a 1st round QB but Wentz was being talked about as the MVP. He was 11-2 with 33 TDs and pretty instrumental in getting the top seed. The Eagles were just a solid team overall. They had the #3 scoring offense along with the #4 scoring D. They won the SB on offense, not D, 41-33.

The Eagles and Falcons were better on offense than defense, so not good examples. The Falcons were actually really bad on defense.

Wilson led the #8 scoring offense in 2013. Knowing how good a QB he is, it’s a borderline example. The 2013 D was definitely the best in the league, but Wilson wasn’t just a game manager. He sure didn’t have to pass a lot because they were ahead so much.

Just to keep this in perspective for passing during regular season:

2013 Seahawks 27 TDs

2017 Eagles 38 TDs

2016 Falcons 38 TDs

2015 Broncos 19 TDs

2003 Delhomme 19 TDs

Manning is a good example. The Broncos offense was mediocre and it showed in the SB. I’m pretty sure we aren’t close to having that Broncos D of 2015.

The fact that people ITT think that Teddy's ceiling is Jake Delhomme is very telling.

The only way Teddy Bridgewater becomes our franchise QB is if CMC carries him to success.

According to good morning football, Teddy Bridgewater is the next Carolina Panthers franchise QB.

That would be amazing. I really like how Teddy has come in and gotten to work.

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

yay

How many coaches have come and gone since Belichick ended in NE? How many of them has come close to BB’s level? Must be some good drugs.

Is Carhartt a Vegas pecker bot?  Can somebody check?  He flips from "know it all" to non-useful idiot in nearly every post. Surely his purpose is to stir things up without making any meaningful contribution--ever.  I think we should require that NEWBs be screened for social skills and emotional intelligence.  Just a suggestion.

I mean...Jake has had better seasons than Teddy has had to this point in his career. Teddy is also on his 3rd NFL Team which does give him Journeyman status. I don't think that statement is as far fetched as you think it is. Teddy in his 2 complete NFL seasons averages 2900 passing yards and 14 passing TDs. Those are not Franchise Qb numbers. Not anywhere close

I hope all the Teddy haters are prepared to take the L and say they were wrong when he shows he’s capable of winning big games. 
 

He’s never gonna be a Mahomes or Rodgers. But he can a really solid QB for us. This offense is built nicely to be a first down machine.
