Bridgewater v TB, 2019


ellis

Recommended Posts

Also remember that Teddy Bridgewater was the Buccaneers 2nd choice after Tom Brady.  And Teddy was also rumored to have been on the Patriots' radar to replace Brady if he was to sign elsewhere.  TB and TB have become inexorably connected the past year and I wonder if that'll bring anything extra out of Bridgewater.

this is just getting sad lol

Could be worse.

I could spend most of my day on a pro football team's message board arguing politics, posting tweets, and trying to troll the team's fans with bad takes like "CMC is a slot WR."

takes a lot less effort to embed tweets than it does to try to argue against what literally everyone who has watched teddy play can plainly see with their own eyes. i could probably copy and paste dozens of twitter links in the amount of time it would take to try to defend teddy’s deep ball or ted ginn’s hands or w/e. of course idc to defend replacement level guys. might take less time if it’s your prerogative. not mine though.

That's craaazy because I posted Twitter links too showing that the man can start and it is about as effective in influencing folks as those tweets you reshare :thinking:

Real quick, mind quoting where I defend Ginn's hands? I'd quote some of those "CMC is a slot WR" posts that you had if they hadn't gotten wiped along with all of those tweets you like to reshare. :Eyes_Emoji_42x42:

mccaffrey is a better receiver than a running back and he is certainly not worth his contract given his poor positional value. so you can stop acting like it’s a take i’m hiding from lol. he doesn’t move the needle. not good from your so called “face of the franchise” but hey maybe touchdown theodore is coming for the throne. i hear he can hit wide open receivers downfield sometimes!

    • Let's be completely honest about this... Our WR room is AT and a bunch of question marks. Thielen is the only guy we know who knows the route tree completely, understands play calls and can regularly get open/beat close coverage when necessary. He's long in the tooth, isn't the speediest guy on the field but he plays like a pro, starting level wide receiver. Xavier, last season looked great at first, but man he kind of petered out down the stretch and would disappear in a number of games. He wasn't reliable on routes or getting open and where he was supposed to be a king at contested catches, he often looked a bit intimidated. I'm not saying he's a washout by any means. Anyone with his size, speed and catch radius could make it big in the NFL, but can he do it? He'll need to show more than he did in the preseason before we can really rely on him as a WR1 or WR2.  Coker was a revelation last season, he really played way above his (non)draft status and flashed multiple times in games and was a steady performer. What we need to find out, though, is whether he was benefiting from being an unknown that wasn't getting maximum effort from opposing DBs or if he was just outworking and outhustling everyone on the field. We should find out this season. We sure as hell didn't find out much in the pre-season (from him or any receiver or QB for that matter). He's still a question mark, but I think he has the look of the real deal. He might be this generation's next Thielen. Now, let's talk about Tet. High first round draft pick, first true WR off the board this year. Stellar career out west in college. Has the swagger of the WR1. And man, y'all are going to get mad about this but... he comes across as a mook. And in the pre-season he performed, well, not so great against poor opposition of second and third stringers. Yeah, he caught that one moonshot ball in the first game but really, nothing else lighting the place up. Rookie endzone drop in that game, too. He's still young and adjusting, I'm sure, but I was hoping to see something of a breakthrough kind of guy. I'm still looking. Hunter Renfro? Gosh, I hope he can make the team and make a comeback to his old form. It would be such a great story. But maybe neither one of those happens. We won't know until Tuesday and then, if he makes it past there it could be weeks. So, TL;DR: AT is all we can bank on right now. We couldn't afford to let him go considering the number of unknowns we'd be throwing out there for our QB, who himself is still an unknown. One thing to add: Our receivers coaching group has their work cut out for them. I hope they are up to the task, but the pre-season gave me little reason to believe in them. And I really need something to believe in here in Carolina.  
    • Same I think Randsom is a baller..... hopefully we don't have to suffer through 4-8 games of Scott blowing azz to get him on the feild.
    • Linebacker is the biggest need - I hope we figure out a way to address it. Krys Barnes is the only one who even moderately flashed.  Super nervous about Trevin/Rozeboom as a duo (Still like Trevin) I'd be excited if we had a better vet to mentor Trevin.  Or a better younger guy to support Rozeboom.  They just don't fit well and it may be a big problem against the run, even with our DL much improved.
