With Teddy winning the starting job, my prediction that Teddy will be starting in the league long after Rhule is shown the door is right on track.

You don’t let go of a QB like Teddy Icewater to hold on to a college coach who is unproven at the NFL level.

Teddy Icewater. I like it. He throws ice water on all hope.

Meanwhile in Denver...

Only preseason of course, but still worth a chuckle 😀

 

I'm not a big Teddy Bridgewater fan, but if he's so bad, why was he named the starter in Denver? 

For the preseason, Bridgewater's seven drives ended with six scores and he was 22-of-30 passing for 241 yards, three touchdowns, no interceptions and a 130.0 rating. Nothing to sneeze at.

That’s not bad but it’s only preseason. Teams really not showing all they got on defense so really hard to judge off of that.

Teddy Bridgewater this preseason:

22/30 for 241 yards and 3 TD. Also has 1 carry for 2 yards. 

 

Drew Lock this preseason:

19/28 for 298 yards and 3 TD. Also has 4 carries for 14 yards. 

 

Teddy B is four years older than Lock exactly ( they were both born on the same day, four years apart), has been on multiple teams now and never stuck with any of them. He has been a middling to bottom half QB most of his career. He is the king of the checkdown. 

Teddy has been:

2014) 23rd in yards, 24th in TDs, T-14th in interceptions. 20th in QBR and 22nd in Rating.

2015) 22nd in yards, 27th in TDs, 22nd in interceptions, 17th in QBR 22nd in Rating.

2020) 17th in yards, 24th in TDs ( Minshew had more in 9 games and only 2 starters had less than Teddy), T-9th in interceptions, 17th in QBR and 22nd in Rating. 

He was brought in to push Lock for the job and he did. Lock responded tremendously to the competition playing some of his best ball. The Broncos cited Teddy's leadership as a major quality of his and Drew Lock referenced it multiple times during his presser about being named the #2 QB. The Broncos coaches are hoping a lesser QB with great leadership skills will save their jobs over the guy with more upside.

Call me skeptical of his 'leadership' when it actually matters.

      So where can I find out tailgating parking spots for the season?

      By Panthercougar68 · Posted

      As the demand for apartments grows parking is becoming limited and it’s sad. I use to tailgate but I just park at uncc deck now and train in and head to rhino market. My tailgate grill hates me.

      ESPN's All Quarter Century Team 2000-2025

      It simply depends on perspective. CMC, when healthy and on the field, has a higher YPC and YPR than LT. Yes, he's been injury prone, but this is simply a "all quarter-century team." There are certainly different stats and different lists. If this were a list or about a team simply based on longevity, then of course LT wins that every time, but some lists are more subjective and nuanced depending upon what they are, and it's not necessarily a reflection upon a person's ability to analyze sports.

      From my what I have seen the overwhelming majority of people who are considering the notion a possibility don't really want to see it happen but are considering so for a number of reasons. Most importantly availability. Secondly even when he plays the last few seasons he has been red hot or ice cold. Then there is the subject of his defense which to say the least leaves a lot to be desired. Then there is the image of Ball inactive laughing it up on the sideline (while our team was getting the doors blown off) with previous busts who are now relegated to hanging on by a thread in the g league. I think we should be able to recognize with the team going out of their way to put a very strong emphasis on culture and leadership with the conclusion of this years draft that they expect LaMelo to lead the way this upcoming season and that begins with making significant strides and trending in a positive direction in the aforementioned aspects above. It just has to happen.
