"It's time to start giving Teddy Bridgewater the respect he deserves"

I'm still withholding the crown, the standard for franchise QB is high. If Teddy can make a good playoff run and remains consistent throughout the season, I'll give him his credit.

Right now he's playing like he could be the franchise guy but I want to see if he keeps up the pace.

People get hung up on arm strength.  Let's not forget a guy who led his team to four Super Bowls and did not exactly have a howitzer hanging from his shoulder.  What was his name again...Idaho?  Wyoming?  It was one of those big sky states. 

Poise, accuracy (not just completion percentage, but where the ball is placed for the receivers), and the ability to read and anticipate mean a lot at the position.

Running similar offensive concepts to what we run now...

Yep. Honestly if our D continues to play as well as it is currently, I want to see us qualify for the playoffs and compete. We don't necessarily have to win a playoff game, but I want to see us go and look like we belong and for him to play well in that environment before I'm sold on Teddy allowing us to compete for a SB.

Look, Cam is not coming back, ever. We are also not getting Trevor Lawrence or Justin Fields ... or even that dude from South Dakota (or is it North). Embrace TB or just lump yourself in the same "cesspool" that were labled as "Cam Haters". You are making zero points by trying to discredit or downplay TB. I mean, what could possibly be your endgame?

Pure hate right here, pure hate indeed.

honestly who is doing that? in all seriousness and satire aside i really havent seen anyone legitimately saying teddy is a bad player.

edit: and i don't think calling him a stopgap is the same as an insult given the metric for success is an unequivocal franchise guy

If you're genuinely curious, I'm more than happy to send a PM your way with links to various posts from a couple of different users. I'll have to take a second to compile ofc (burden of proof and all that), but some of the more egregious folks won't be hard to point out. To me, there's satire and then there's a clear axe to grind (and in some cases, grinding was declared :Eggplant_Emoji_Icon_42x42:). 

I'm also super straight on blowing up a bunch of folks' notifications with quoted posts and ignoring the ones I get in return when I wake up in the morning to release all of the concentrated evil brewing in me.

Kyle also had 25 fumbles abs zero pocket awareness.  Zero comparison 

He had lost 4 fumbles at this point. Teddy has 3 INTs, so the overall turnover count at this point is very comparable.

*Oh wait, it's actually identical. Teddy has lost a fumble too. 4 turnovers apiece through their first five games.

I would say KA's best game was better than Teddy's best, by a considerable margin, but so far Teddy has been more consistent in his first 5 games here and shown more reason to hope that this isn't a fluke.  Then again, I also think KA is not as bad as his lows showed for us, so :P

The reality is that many are still trying to defend their adamant remarks that Teddy was a bad signing and not a very good QB. 
 

I wanted us to keep Cam and let him play out his last year.  I thought if he stayed healthy we could resign him and not draft a QB and if he couldn’t stay healthy we would be in prime position for Lawrence or Fields.

But when we cut him and signed Teddy, I was very supportive of it. I said Teddy for Brady’s offense was much better than Cam. I think that’s pretty obvious now, though at the time I was called a Cam hater and it was even implied I was a racist despite the fact I supported Teddy and wanted to keep Cam... odd isn’t it?

Even last week posters were mouthing back at me that Teddy could absolutely not be a franchise QB and I even said that I was unsure he was the future. But in this system we don’t need a Mahomes to win a SB. Teddy is putting up incredible numbers with a brand new staff. Imagine our offense right now with a defense that resembles the 49ers last year. That team probably wins the SB. So this whole argument that Teddy can’t do it in today’s NFL is frankly nonsense.

Jimmy G was about 10 minutes from beating the Chiefs. I’ll take Teddy and this offense over that one any day of the week. All the “he doesn’t have the tools to win in today’s game” are just lazy excuses to save face that some absolutely could not stand Teddy. 
 

He is 100% proving he can get it done. Not only that but this team is honestly not far off from being 4-1 or even 5-0. This defense was a joke last year but is improving every week. Lots of crow to be had for lots of people...

      Some of you act like one can't learn from experience over time. Just because you may not know what you're doing in 2018 doesn't mean that you don't know what you're doing in 2025. Frankly, you grow from experience, and success and excellence gives first-time applicants the hand probably 99.999% of the time.

      It's an interesting topic of conversation as sports evolves. I think ultimately it would lead to a number of small market franchises folding though. Especially in the NBA where there are so many bad teams that have been bad for years and years in some cases already. But as it stands I think athlete pay draft or no draft aside has reached a point where we can and should realistically ask should they make that much compared to the average person. Now college athletes is a different conversation but even that reaches a breaking point. But we could go down the rabbit hole on this even further into overall entertainment and talk about actors making absurd sums too. In the end I think in sports the powers that be won't allow these changes to even be considered because it opens the door for so many other variables. But who knows how long sports like football will realistically be around after people like us pass on. We're only just now learning about things like CTE which the league and the sport in general will only be able to run away from for so long. As far as the NBA goes my understanding is viewership has been steadily going down for a number of reasons but one crucial aspect is key players missing so many games. The NBA has to figure that out regardless. Especially when considering fans who pay to see these athletes compete in person. But hey I guess let's just try to appreciate what we've got while it still exists in this form eh?

      I can't see a world where the money goes down, but maybe your lottery odds are now your contract numbers you can offer.  Thunder? You can offer Flagg 4 years, 20 million.  Hornets? You can offer Flagg 4 years, 80 million.  Some form of a system where the money is still there, but so is the freedom of choice (on top of bad teams getting *some* competitive advantage to signing them).
