"Teddy will never be good enough" crowd

It's because they don't watch the Panthers. The receivers YAC ability and clever use by Brady create box score stats that tell a very different story from his actual play. What I find annoying is the game commentators singing his praises when hes clearly making bad Wentz-like throws. So un-objective. All they care about is his story-yawn. 

 I admit I can see a lot of good things he's done but why are people just pretending that he's some kind of transcendent QB?

  If you give him that contract (and the saints a 3rd round comp)  a nice comeback story isn't enough.

Can confirm. Talk to folks who only follow us through fantasy football and TV highlights and they all say that Teddy is having a good year. It's like the reverse of how they looked at Cam from afar.

If I had seen any hint that Teddy has the it-factor over the last couple of months, I would have started a thread like this one, but this thread is a lesson as to why you don't count the crow before they've hatched!

 Its been obvious to any knowledgeable fan (for years now) that Teddy is a backup quality qb. Its kind of scary that multiple people in our front office thought he was a good idea. Did they not have access to you tube? How many times in Teddys career has he thrown a 1 yard pass on 3rd and long? Oh but that completion percentage though....f*ck me!

Coaches and coordinators don't give a sh-t about "creating box score stats".

They're trying to win.

Should have never signed him. Who's going to offload him now with his contract?

Trying to win? With Teddy?

Trying to win with whoever.

Hell, even when they had Greg Little out there, they were still trying to win

Maybe they just like a challenge.

That would explain a lot of Marty's free agent signings and non-first-round draft picks.

Huh?

Where in those tweets did it say anything about Bridgewater?

I’m talking QB traits. You don’t need a cannon of an arm to be a good QB. And that is true.

Bridgewater played horrible Sunday. I sure as sh!t not debating that

Nope. Fans love guys that can throw it sixty yards downfield but it's not about throwing it a long way or even throwing it hard. It's about throwing it to a spot where it needs to be and doing so accurately.

For me, a strong arm is well down the list of priorities for a quarterback. Accuracy and brains are the top two by a mile.

Eh idk. Maybe 10 years ago. The game has changed so much the past 10 years. Hell even the last 3 years. I think a strong arm is way more important now than it ever has been. You have to stretch the field in the modern NFL

The winningest quarterback in the league is a 43 year-old guy whose arm strength was never exactly special.

You've also got Drew Brees who doesn't exactly have a cannon on his shoulder either.

Throw in that West Coast and E-P systems seem to be a lot more prevalent in the league now than vertical systems like the Coryell.

Consistent production is a way better winning formula than hoping for big plays.
