If you are thinking that Bridgewater is in anyway the answer then you are completely missing the point. 

A lower ceiling is a lower ceiling and when there is as much tape on both as there was before coming here, it is not at all surprising. Why can't we see reality and set these guys up for where they can perform at their ceilings? That's the concerning part. This is the NFL, great teams make do with less and dumb teams play pretend. Hopefully Rhule and Fritts wakes up and changes their evaluation and support processes going forward.

Bridgewater wouldn't have thrown as many picks because he didn't have the balls to try risky throws.

Throwing two yard passes when you need six or seven yards may not turn the ball over, but it doesn't exactly win games either.

I get what you're saying. But, I didn't see Sam make any really risky throws yesterday. He didn't make any throws "yesterday" that Teddy couldn't have made.  I just several really bad one throws and missed chances. Those INT's were off target/behind the receiver. He also missed some down the field opportunities. 

I only made my point because we wouldn't have had to give up a 2nd choice if we had kept Teddy, thus giving us more draft capital going forward. That said, I never have thought Teddy B was a franchise QB.

I'll take a quarterback who takes risks over one who plays it safe tem times out of ten, even in a WCO.

A dominant defensive performance where all you need to do is manage turnovers and get your team in scoring position and keep the other team playing the long field is exactly the type of game Teddy wins you. 

You don't have those games every week and when Teddy needed to do more he failed which is why we moved on, but I don't understand the need for folks to stubbornly deny a fairly mild take.

And I'll take a QB that protects the ball when I have a defense that's playing great and I'll beat your risk taker 9 out of 10 times. 

How'd that work out last season?

What Bridgewater does isn't "protecting the ball". I could get behind that.

Playing scared? Not so much.

    • I thought this presented an interesting point. It is fair to wonder now, about switching the two QBs as so many tried to do that first year where Bryce was trash and CJ looked great.  It is almost the reverse scenario now and I wonder what CJ would look like here with better weapons better coaching and better protection. Overall, compared year one.  If each player had been in the other place for the three years. I would love to see CJ with this team now.  Just to see. 
    • I really have no clue what to expect sunday.  To quote one of my favorite bands of all time, Operation Ivy "All I know is that I dont know".  We could win, hell we could win convincingly, we also could lose in blowout fashion.  We could be in a back and forth game with whoever has the ball last winning.  I legit HAVE NO CLUE.  This isnt the dominant bills teams of the past, Allen is still elite and can win any game by himself.  That said, heres my stab at looking at things. Our defense is made to stop this kind of team.  Strong against the run, a great corner but meh talent around the field.  We've stopped prolific run offenses this season.   Javonte Williams - Season low yards and ypa against us. De'Von Achane - Season low yards and ypa against us Breece hall - 3rd worst yards in a game Fact of the matter is, we arent what we were last year, we are a good run defense and that lines up well against the bills, Stop the run.  For once the lack of moving Jaycee might be a good thing, he will essentially lock down a side and without multiple real weapons thats fine.  Buffalo does not have an elite guy, theyve got a gaggle of average dudes.  Allen will stay away from Jaycee, it will be on Mike Jack and Chau Smith Wade do to their part and they will be matched with guys they can play at the level of. On offense, we do what the bills are bad at.  We run the ball well, and they suck at stopping the run.  Rico and Chuba will need 30 carries.  Andy Dalton will need to be opportunistic.  My big fear is what we learned last year, Dalton can get overconfident and make bonehead throws.  Its this simple.  Run the ball, stop the run.  Dont turn the ball over.  If we do these 3 things, we will be in a position to win in the 4th quarter.
