Teddy Bridgewater: Panthers may have panicked late against Vikings

How do they deserve some serious throwing under the bus? Can you break down why? They are literally working with a backup QB, backup RB, solid WR's, and offensive line Mr. Scot/know it all thinks is hot ass, and a defense with 6 Rookies starting and the youngest defense in the past 10 years. Can you give me reason why a bunch of Rookie NFL coaches deserve the blame? They have exceeded expectations in my book, and if we had a competent QB that wasn't so mediocre-poo we would have 7 wins by now. 

3rd and goal at the 3, run Davis right up the middle. 4th and goal, run Davis again. If we don't score, Minn has less than a minute to get into FG range to tie the game.

Teddy's carrer. Great backup and not the starter you need. 

Have said it repeatedly. He'd be an ideal backup for the system we're running, and has the kind of character that would make him a good mentor.

I just don't know if he wants that role...or the reduced salary that comes with it.

The kind of character that accepts no responsibility and deflects blame? 

Thanks but no thanks.

I'm not real sure he's going to have a choice.

If the Panthers don't keep him as a starter, I doubt any other starting jobs are going to be available. He'd have to accept a backup role.

And it occurs to me that there is one that might be available in New Orleans depending on how their quarterback situation shakes out.

Ummm. No. That was a bad play design that had two recievers on top of each other right on the LB's line. Davis thought the ball was going to Anderson too, why else would he have pulled up?

I didn't understand the play design either. Someone ran the wrong route because it ran both players right into each other.

You nailed it. If he wants to be a starter then this all gets dicey. Maybe agree to a win win trade...to Brady's new team next year? He would be tailor made for training a young QB but that is all if he is willing to take that role. No idea right now which way this goes.

Tired of him making excuses, it was not the OC fault, it was not Moore's fault, or the OL's fault. You had the man wide open in the back of the end zone and could not make the throw. You missed that throw (along with a plethora of other throws) and lost the game. PJ should have started this game, at least he has an NFL caliber arm.

DJ was wide open and you blew it and now you're to point the finger everywhere else.

Honestly, Teddy shouldn't have a single defender left after that and Rhule should bench his ass. This is the polar opposite of what you want to see our of your QB both in terms of execution in the field and leadership off.

I was very disappointed in Bridgewater and his comments.  He missed receivers all day.  He missed a wide open receiver in the endzone for the win.  Can't believe he threw the coaches under the bus...even saying he would have changed the play [ so he didn't have the throw the ball??].    I criticized Tom Brady for not being a leader and taking responsibility for his mistakes.  I see no difference.  I hope Rhule is really pissed by this.  He needs to give Walker more reps to see what he has.  I would have expected to see Teddy improve throughout the season as he had more time in this offense and more time with the receivers.  Instead, he seems to have regressed. Sit him.

3rd and goal wide open pass play, Bridgewater pulls a Bridgewater. Sigh.

This is all you need to know about the loss and Bridgewater's responsibility for it:

 

Yep. D was clearly playing the run so checking into it would have been incorrect. Right play call, piss poor throw. Look at the freaking pocket and the separation. SMH.

Check to the run = give Minnesota less time which only leads to us not having enough time to even attempt a FG. We lose.

Complete pass = 10 point lead. We win.

Sad to see a QB telling us he doesn’t want the ball in his hands as his solution to him blowing the game with a bad throw. Kind of the opposite of Mahomes who wanted the ball in his hands so he could make the east completion to Hill and end the game. Teddy had the chance to end the game again and failed. Simple as that, no need to search for excuses.

Bridgewater didn't actually use the word "panic". That's an extrapolation by PFT of what he said, and it's a stretch.

I would, however, agree that he could have handled this better.

Actually, he did, according to the article.

“I think we just got to be better from top to bottom from the sideline to executing on the field. It was one of those deals where I feel like we might have panicked a little bit, trying to figure out what play call to call in that situation,” Bridgewater said

Gotcha. Missed that. I was going off what I read last night.

Thanks.
