Why is everyone so hard on Teddy?

You know, I understand we are losing a lot of close games, but lets be realistic... these are probably games that most people though we wouldn't have even been in this year.  The fact that Teddy Bridgewater is helping make these games close is promising.  The defense needs a more consistent pass rush, and has to force more turnovers. The O-line needs to get better as well.

I know it is a "win now" league, but we all know that's crap... Before Cam had his big season in 2015 they were losing a lot of close games, then they figured out how to win. Let the season play out, then see where we are... This team has TONS of upside and potential. I think Teddy is good enough to get this team to a SB... Just not this year.

He's paid 24M a year to be a franchise QB, and he has yet to play like one when it mattered.  Again, great guy, and yes, he is playing behind an absolute poo OL,  but you pay a guy that much money to win you games with big-time plays, not manage them.  I give it to him though, that 4th and 14 scramble today was the type of stuff we've needed from him.  But, still, his decision-making in clutch situations has been really bad for the most part.

We’re hard on him because the team would be 9-0 right now if Teddy was clutch 

We could be 9-0 if the secondary and oline wasn’t trash. 
 

why bring in a new QB when the obvious fundamentals are the worst in the league?

one step before the next, TB is hurt whether you believe it or not and Cam was ruined for the same mistakes

pretty clear QB is not step 1

Because he doesn't have "it" and with him on the roster the team will probably not invest a first round pick at the QB position.

So we are either stuck with him or trying to coach up a lower prospect. In both scenarios we will probably end up at being a team that can win a occasional playoff game but not much more than that.

To win the super bowl most often the QB need to have one game during the playoff run were he puts the team on his shoulder and carry the team. Can Teddy do that? Probably not.

We have to deprogram people who think that Teddy is a franchise QB. Thats why we go hard in the paint. As soon as everyone realizes that Teddy is a stopgap, and takes the L, we will stop.

Originally this is why I spoke up and got pood like crazy. People here after three games declared him a franchise QB and some literally called him ELITE. He isn’t. He’s not horrible but he isn’t a franchise QB and he for sure is not elite.

Because he’s not that good. He’s ok, but we were accustomed to 7.5 years of great QB play, then 1.5 of injury riddled bad QB play which is easier to stomach because there’s hope, to now we have what we have.  Mediocre QB play. It’s tough to have such a drastic downgrade when it’s not a Colts situation with Manning to that guy before Luck where you know you have a chance at a good QB in the near future.  We’re in QB purgatory.

I guess time will truly tell, but for sure he deserves a little... I like how people think that we can just go down to our local Walmart and pick a Tom Brady off the shelf on an isle that is FULL of "franchise" QB's. lol

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By CRA · Posted

      Ravens mixing it up with a random Mark Andrew tush push last year isn't a similar situation.  Lamar has run QB sneaks his entire career.  And often instead of a traditional sneak will even employ a 4th and 1 direct snap to Lamar simply because of how athletic he is (which even Cam did a lot of) and let him pick his own holes.

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By CRA · Posted

      height being an issue doesn't just mean batted balls.  You could argue Bryce minimizes batted balls by adopting other poor habits such as his jump passing and leaving the pocket.   As I said, there are plays you can point to where he clearly was blind to parts of the field/players....which kills plays and opportunity. Which actually means some of the shorter/hot throws when things break down are where his vision gets blocked (and he had below average production all around the line of scrimmage).   has he figured it out? I mean, he improved off a trainwreck start.  But Bryce Young since arriving in the league (even while figuring it out)......doesn't generate much offensive production vs his peers.  I just think his ceiling is low.   And that's not in the grand scheme what you want in the NFL.  I think he can develop into a serviceable QB, that will largely always been a middle of the pack or low end starter.

      How would you feel if Bryce did this in 2025

      By panthers55 · Posted

      People make a lot of noise about his footwork and I think it is overblown. Whether he takes 3 steps backwards or 5 small steps doesn't matter as long as he ends up at the right depth and is in sync with  the receiver regarding timing. If he does that consistently who cares as long as he has a firm stable base as he delivers the ball. Which he does need to work on. However even that is somewhat overblown given that often QBs have to throw off balance or from different arm angles to fit the ball around defenders. He is considered very accurate so apparently it isn't hurting him that much.
