Will Bridgewater complete a single game winning drive in the 4th quarter this season?

It’s amazing how there seems to be a chance to win or tie the game in every single loss this season, and in every single loss this team finds new and mind numbing ways to fail. Those failures seem to center around QB Teddy Bridgewater. 

So sound off here, will Teddy prove us wrong and actually go and complete a game winning drive in the 4th quarter this season? And what does it mean if he doesn’t?

With all the opportunities we're getting surely someone will eventually break off a big play or something. Teddy probably isn't winning us any games. That's just not who he is as a QB.

I don't disagree . . . but isn't that something you should want in a QB?  A guy who can win you some games when you're close in the 4th?

At some point I'm sure Teddy will have a game winning drive, but he isn't showing a propensity for being clutch.  Not a good luck for a long term guy to build around.  So, we probably go in another direction longer-term.

But the offense was good enough to win today - and many days - with slightly better play from the defense.

I don't understand how we can't force punts.

Oh, it's absolutely something you should want. I think Teddy is the QB for right now. I don't think Teddy is the long-term plan. His contract screams stop gap.

I still think we can package Teddy and our first for a top QB pick. 

What team picking ahead of us in the draft would want Teddy? I think we definitely grab one of the top 4 QBs even if we have to trade more draft capital to get him, but I don't think that QB will start his rookie year. Teddy will play the Alex Smith role, and he's a great option for that.

Guys, this is the same issue the 2013 and 2014 Panthers had with Cam... Young teams have to LEARN how to win the close one's. How many close games did the Panthers lose in those early years with Cam, then in 2015 it all came together and they figured it out. 

It's all about being a young inexperienced team... Everyone want's instant gratification these days. Sure... it's frustrating to lose close games, really today though they fell behind by 9 points with not a lot of time left. Coming back from that was asking a lot against the super bowl champs at THEIR house. 

I do not think this team was expected to be very good this year yet... Give them some time, they will figure it out.

Giants have been really dumb lately. I’d call them.

Saying we were down 9 late and asking for a miracle comeback ignores the fact we were up by more than that early.

2013 we lost like 2 close games early in the year and then won 11 of 12 to close out the season...  2014 was a disaster and had nothing to do with learning how to win close games.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
