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.

      Panthers attempted to trade up with Ravens?

      By electro's horse · Posted

      Wow I can’t believe the panthers tried to trade up, failed, but still got the guy they wanted to trade up for. I wonder if anyone else has ever said that next you’ll tell me they had Hunter and Brazzell graded as first rounders.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      I don’t think people are saying that picking up the option is a call for the pitchforks. We would have had to do things differently a couple of years back to make declining the option a valid move. We didn’t and here we are. People largely accept that. The pattern it adheres to, reinforces the nausea we feel when the idea of an extension, and at top of the market no less, comes up.  One that he hasn’t shown he deserves.   Same as he did not deserve to be drafted 1.1. Look at Pavia and what really is the difference? Bryce is a nice guy and Pavia is an asshole lol. They are both no margin for error non day one talents. One went undrafted.  Probably should have been drafted day three anyway. The other was way over drafted.

      We hate losing. I don't know Bryce to hate him. His play as a QB, I absolutely hate. It's just not good enough. If there were a lottery held to select the order and all 32 starting QBs could be drafted as the starting QB for whatever team selected them, how long do you think it would be before Bryce's name was called? Top 10, top 20, bottom 8? Think about it.  For me, having never seen back to back games with franchise QB level performance in 3 years tells me what I need to know. We still need to be looking for our solution at QB.
