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.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.
