Eight games in and I feel like I've had enough time to evaluate Teddy Bridgewater. I know Teddy wasn't the only reason we lost yeterday, our interior Oline is crap and our defense isnt aggresive enough.  But Teddy just isn't our QB of the future like I had hoped he could be. There are many things I really like about Teddy Bridgewater, his personality, leadership, gamesmanship, good decision making, leads recievers, and I belive he has a strong enough arm.  He just doesn't have "it", especially when we need it.  In other words he isn't clutch, he plays great for 3 quarters, but when he has to make a play and force something that may not be there, he can't.  This week, game on the line, throws and interception.  Last Sunday, game on the line, takes a costly sack that puts us out of FG range.  Week before, game on the line, overthrows DJ then on next drive throws an interception.

I had said before the season started that we are too good for Trevor and I still believe we win at least 5 games this year.  I think that puts us out of the running for the top 3 and I dont want to reach on a QB.  Next year we may have an even better record than this year if we fix the O line in the offseason.

We still have the Bridgewater problem. We need a QB. I don’t want Bridgewater here after his contract is up. Wouldn’t be surprised if the Panthers trade up.

He’s not the only problem but he is a problem at the most important position in sports.  He needs literally a perfect team around him to get to the playoffs. We shouldn’t have that little of a window with any quarterback.  We need a guy who can win us games when we don’t play our best or don’t have the best roster. Our current guy can’t do that.

    • No one way to do it, it does appear that with the bigger draft picks of the last 5 years…..majority haven’t steered clear of young QBs on the roster being their hopeful guy. Especially past their rookie seasons but even some the biggest ones have had it early.   As far as Andy Dalton, the two young guys he has “mentored”…..have had very rough NFL starts.  Which really ask the why the heck is Dalton here.   He doesn’t really check any box.  No young potential.  Can’t step in and win.  And his mentor track record with Fields and now Bryce is bad 
    • I had thought the Panthers might let him play out his contract this year and hope he stays healthy. If not draft a left tackle and move Ekwonu to right tackle. 
    • Frankly, if most teams in the NFL lose their starting QB for a significant amount of time, they're screwed. The fantasy is that one has a future Tony Romo or a Nick Foles that can carry a stacked team. The reality is that you might get roughly 3~5 games out of your backup before it all falls apart. Remember all of Peyton Manning's backups? Utterly terrible. Speaking of backup QB's, Raiders may need one. https://www.nfl.com/news/raiders-qb-aidan-o-connell-suffered-fractured-wrist-in-preseason-finale-expected-to-be-out-6-8-weeks
