The Bridgewater Experiment... your thoughts

Now that year one of having Teddy at QB is in the books what are your thoughts on his future in Charlotte? While he has shown flashes he has also shown multiple reasons why the organization could be taking a QB in 2021.

Do we give him a pass due to CMC being out, for  Brady being in his first year as an actual play-caller, for the lack of a legit TE and a questionable o-line?

Love the dude, pulled for him all season.

Isn't the answer long term, and definitely hasn't shown to be worth the $24M tag for next season.

But if it means the team was in a position to grab a young guy for Teddy to help learn the playbook and how to be a pro, money well spent imo.

Hated the decision at the beginning and my plan to tank, keep comp picks, save a ton of cap to rollover and maximize our draft slot was 100% correct. Waste of yet another year because we gave away 3 comp picks, including the 3rd for Bradberry, and spent $60M in new cap for 2020 that’s gone forever. We got pick 8, maybe 7 and all we learned is that Teddy was as mediocre as many of us thought. Dude had possibly the best three WRs in the league and had 15 TDs. I’m fairly certain there were at least that many gifs showing Moore and Samuel wide open deep for easy TDs. If we had a solid QB with an arm, 30 passing TDs would have been a piece of cake.

Super happy we made the moves that would've peaked at 6 wins. And maybe 8 the next!!

So much of this year just leaves a sour taste and reeks of Hurney trying to save his job, convincing Brady to come (Teddy), or some ulterior motive that didn't have roster building or the future in mind.  We heard how it was going to be torn down, how it would be a process, etc...only to slap a bandaid on a gunshot wound. 

I honestly feel like the staff did a GREAT job all things considered and am excited for the future, with the damper being the easily fixable mistakes so many of us screamed against yet were still made in the name of mediocrity.

Exactly the outcome I expected and, quite frankly, I don't know that he has any traits that should be passed on in a 'mentor' role. Dude is probably a great guy but is also as milquetoast a starting QB as I've ever seen on the field. Team needs to move on ASAP.

    • Why don't we just say they can shove the late round draft picks up their ass? If they want a player they will be starting at WR in Week 1, I want a MLB in return that we can start Week 1. Starter for a Starter Not Starter for a draft pick we'll be debating whether or not they should make the final 53 man roster in 2026.
    • Why?   No. This isn't a situation of a player we want to trade because we have no use for them.  He's our starting slot WR, our leader of the young WR room, Bryce's safety option the last 2 years who he has good chemistry with. If the Vikings didn't run into WR trouble, we'd never have been even considering trading him, so why in the world should we give him up for fair market value in a vacuum for Thielen and disregard what losing him off our roster will do for us this year? A 5th round pick in 2026 is a negligible draft pick, especially with this season being so make or break for Bryce and Canales.
    • The Vikings acquiring all these late round picks has me feeling like we're about to see another CMC situation play out here. Trade a player we really like for the equivalent of what we want for them on the draft pick chart, but because of a bunch of late round picks instead of the one pick value we actually want. Which will do the same thing in the end, nothing, because 6th and 7th round picks rarely work out to begin with, or we're just going to use them to move up 10 picks in the 3rd or 4th round to take another DJ Johnson
