I would say Darnold's performance range is wider than Teddy's, for better or worse. Whether Teddy could've done better today, ehhh....

So what do Broncos say about Teddy?

Quote

I see turnover Teddy has entered the building.

TEDDY 3 Ints. Should have been 4 if not for drop

Quote

Me: Teddy is a journeyman backup at best.

Them: No he’s a starter.

Me: Carolina didn’t believe in Teddy.

Them: He had multiple 1000 yard receivers and was efficient. He had bad coaches.

Me: He couldn’t make clutch plays and finish drives.

Them: He’s really good just needs time to show his skills. He takes care of the ball.

Me: He had nearly as many INTs as TDs last season.

Them: Teddy just came back from the concussion, he’s really good.

Me: Ok

Bridgewater’s play in Carolina was there for everyone to see - film and stats that reflected much of his performance. In Carolina he struggled to make clutch plays and finish drives. He turned the ball over often relative to scoring production (11 INTs vs 15 TDs). Does this sound familiar?

I tried to explain this to Bridgewater defenders but they weren’t having it. Again, it’s what we do as fans - we elevate players on our roster.

Bridgewater is a likable guy and he’s tough - massive respect for coming back from a horrific injury. He’s a decent backup quarterback - that’s it.

The coach should play to Teddy's strength which are....uhmm...which are....uhmm....What are Teddy's strengths?

Throwing 5 yard passes on 3rd and 16?

Donald hasn't done anything in his career to show he's a better Qb than Teddy.

The offense was much more dynamic last season, as you couldn't key in on one player. Once defenses started blanketing Moore this season the offense went kaput. 

We sucked in the redzone last season. We're better this season but way less opportunities down there. Teddy's offense was much more efficient and took what the defense gave us and that kept us in alot of games even when overmatched. This years offense is too dependent on someone beating their guy making a great play, not efficient at all.  That could work if we had Steve Smith in his prime, but we don't.  

It was a lateral move at best to bring Sam here, for what he brings with arm talent he negates that with poor decision making. Donald will make a splash play here or there whereas you can see he's talented but he's also reckless with the ball. 

All in all this offense has taken a step backwards from last season to anybody with good eyes to see.  If they would have just stayed pat on offense with the improved play of the defense this team would be in a much better spot.

Sam and Teddy are the same QB. Not good enough for prime time. Simple as. This team is going nowhere until we upgrade the QB. 

Not at all. They're polar opposites. Sam has the physical talent, but just isn't a heady player. He creates negative plays with stupidity. Teddy is a smart QB, but lacks in physical talent that kills him in the redzone and in late game situations because he cannot drive the ball. 

On the whole, I'd probably slightly prefer the upside you get with Darnold, but it's pretty close to a wash.

Teddy was more consistent.  Darnold's best is better than Teddy but his worst is far worse. If we could have Teddy between the 20s and Darnold in the redzone that would be interesting.

Teddy in the 1st TB game last year was worse than any Darnold performance so far this year.

      OFFICIAL 2026 Undrafted Free Agent Thread

      I would say that seems like an odd comment from Morgan, but at the same time it's almost impossible to find a college QB declaring for the draft to have less physical ability than BY so you can assume almost anyone you bring in would be your go to QB sneak/designed run guy.

      Gronk is the best TE of all time, but he also played with Brady. Clarke was great, but had Peyton and in an era TE's didn't make crazy money. Kittle is great, but the two times he's made the SB, he was still on his rookie contract for one, and the other the 49ers had Purdy on a cheap rookie deal which help them build the rest of the roster. So again, it's not about not wanting an elite TE, of course it would be nice.  But realistically, in today's NFL, unless that elite TE with a top end TE salary is on a team with a GOAT level QB and/or other serious cap savings (i.e. key players on rookie deals), then I think it's not a good use of cap space.

      This place was the poo pre tepper with tons of hilarious posters like phillyB. Joined in the 2000s during the 07 season and have been here bitching about this team since. but yeah its sadly been dying a slow death, every time I come to this site I am surprised its still up. I think the 2015 season was the absolute peak, the Panthers and this board especially just haven't "felt" the same since then. Igo should really sell the board since he clearly doesn't care anymore. Also, Reddit blows and the Bryce defenders on there need Jesus.
