Again, Icege, I've watched Teddy since college.  Closely.  He manages games.  Period.  He doesn't win games, he just doesn't lose them.  

Now, maybe he becomes more than that here and in this system, but I'm not backing off of the idea that he was mostly a cog in a much bigger machine in Minny.  He wasn't the reason they were winning games, but he wasn't the reason they were gonna lose any.

With the same eyes and brain that led you to make this thread?

If he doesn't win nor lose games, that must means he ties them. Right? I don't understand that take at all. What exactly is being said here? That he needs help? Wasn't that what fans also screamed for Cam to have? If he wasn't the reason Minnesota was winning games, then why did they go 8-8 with Sam Bradford at the helm (whom, btw, a poster has actually implied is the same as Bridgewater) when the injury occurred?

So the dude isn't lasering it 80yds from his knees downfield, who cares? He's getting it into his playmakers' hands in space while they're on the move, which is much, much more important imo

You know what guys?  You're right.  You are inside of my head, and what I actually stated was not what I meant at all.  I clearly misused the word contingency whereas it should be viewed as a word meaning a backup plan, the huddle has decided to rewrite the definition and my intention, and you know what?   You're right.  fug a contingency plan.  Crown Nick Mullens to be the greatest QB of this generation...  i did not mean at all that he could be a low-risk/high reward gamble that could be brought in to compete down the road after having won several games and putting up almost identical numbers as Demigod Teddy Bridgewater did through their first several starts...  Not that he had potential as an UDFA turned spot-starter, much like a Jake Delhomme.  What I meant to say was that Nick Mullens is the love child of Joe Montana and Tom Brady.  He is the future of the QB position.  He is the one who shatters the mold.  Aaron Rodgers don't got poo on Nick Mullens.  Cam Newton is no Nick Mullens.  When Nick Mullens shits, he nicknames it Johnny Unitas.  Nick Mullens, the greatest QB prospect since Teddy Two-Gloved, Sure-fire Hall of Famer Bridgewater. 

You guys got me.  Flame away on your re-framed, misquoted strawman you've built here.  Enjoy your thread.

I mean, I get that you meant contingency. Whether or not others did is their issue.

All I asked about was how you could define Teddy's sophomore season as being carried by the Vikings when there are plenty of points refuting this?

Fwiw I think Nick Mullens is a terrible idea even as a contingency plan. At that point we're just paying who knows more for maybe 1W more than Grier or Walker would get.

That wasn't directed towards you, Icege.  Always appreciate you, brother.  That was more towards the posters who had nothing to say in this thread and then entered with their violent circlejerk after SNF to show me up and turn this whole thread into hyperbole.  

That's fair.  I agree Mullens could be an absolutely horrible contingency plan wherever he may play.  But that's the thing...  it was simply a throwaway suggestion.  Just as we would bring a former proven vet, like a Trumaine Johnson for nothing to see what he has...  but then this thread somehow turned from me saying "he has impressed" in his early starts and game experience, to I apparently wanted to offer him a max deal to come here lol.

As far as Teddy, sure, there may have been confounding factors into his results early in his career, but every QB deals with that to some degree every season.  Me saying he doesn't win games, but he doesn't lose them, is just a simpler way of saying when your QB isn't your primary playmaker who can singlehandedly win you a game with a play THEY create (like Cam in his prime), then they are just facilitating to other players and the onus is on those other players to win then game, not the QB.  Sure, the QB has to take care of the ball while doing so, and credit to them for them doing it, but it is a lot less imposing way to win and there is a much smaller margin for error with that style of QB play.  That was what he did in Louisville, Minny, and NO.

All that being said, I'm growing more excited and satisfied with Teddy's play the last two weeks.  He took more aggressive downfield shots against the Cardinals and I felt that was what we were really missing.  I hope he keeps it up.
