Maybe he learned something from Sam.

Quote

When you win, you point the finger at your teammates and when you lose, you point the thumb at yourself,” Bridgewater said, via Kyle Newman of The Denver Post. “Today was definitely one of those days where I point the thumb at myself. I take responsibility for the things that went wrong, whether it was the turnovers or being better in many [other] areas.”

Sam takes the blame after every loss this season and you hear him give the same excuses. It’s tiring.

At least he isn't blaming the coaches like Teddy did.  Also, despite multiple attempts the media has not been able to  get Sam to say a negative word about his time with the Jets.  When Teddy got to Denver, what did he do?  Blame the Panther coaches for his poor performance.

And, now we are finally seeing that Teddy was probably right after all. It appears that it is the coaches’ fault.

I mean... he did here as well:

Panthers QB Teddy Bridgewater shoulders blame for loss

I genuinely do not understand the constant hate that people direct at Teddy. Everywhere but in Carolina he is regarded as a team-first guy that's well liked. Ask Panthers' fans though and they'll tell you that Teddy slapped their momma in a dream that they had once.

I genuinely don't understand how if he's such a great guy and teammate he was so poor here and they were in such a hurry to ship him out. To your example, those comments came the day after the game; his entire press conference that was actually after the game was all 'we' even when asked about his god-awful throw and he threw the staff under the bus (quoted below) and pass the blame instead of just acknowledging his failure. It largely invalidates your quote IMO when it's been a day and closed-door conversations have taken place. 

It's fair in some situation to call out everyone as a leader of course but after such glaring personal mistakes, not a single 'I' in terms of accountability right after the game:

What happened on the missed pass to DJ Moore

"I think we’ve just got to be better from top to bottom, from the sideline to executing on the field. It’s one of those deals where I felt like we might have panicked a little bit trying to figure out what play call to call in that situation because it’s like do we run the ball and get stopped, make the clock go down to a minute and 10 or throw the ball and try to score? I think, honestly, we called a great play, we just didn’t have enough time to execute, but it was a play where we wanted to shift Robby [Anderson] to get a good man zone read to see what defense they’re in and because we’re against the clock we just had to rush into it. I think if we would’ve gotten the play call in or we would’ve been able to make a decision sooner on what call to make, I think we see the look, we check to a run play and hopefully we score and make the clock go down. But it’s just one of those deals where DJ [Moore] popped open. It wasn’t the right look but still just got to hit to hit the throw."

It's this type of thing throughout his postgame talks - not every one, but often enough - coupled with the milquetoast play and bonus stuff like public excuses about practice when he joined Denver that left such a poor taste for many. If he's such a great leader and teammate, where was that at? I can't discount the possibility that Carolina's staff isn't fully inept and a morale killer, but it sure doesn't seem that way. Teddy appeared to earn his dislike fair and square.

In regards to Teddy's team history with players and coaches:

Teddy was loved in high school.

Teddy was loved in Louisville.

Teddy was loved in Minnesota.

Teddy was loved in New York.

Teddy was loved in New Orleans.

Teddy was hated in Carolina.

Teddy is loved in Denver.

 

One of these things is not like the other. One of these things just doesn't belong.

 

Also, I'm pretty sure our players liked Teddy.

Might not be too liked after that utterly pathetic effort on Slay's fumble return today. 14-point swing there that very well may have cost Denver the game. Not feeling too responsible for tackling I suppose.

Listened to the conference myself out of curiosity and more endless 'we' when talking about failures, even saying 'we missed some throws' like the entire team was throwing passes... true leadership right there. Might be a great guy off the field but dude's a loser on it.

    • Smitty and Lance Zierlein see eye to eye on the top four, then they start diverging a little bit. It's an hour and 18 minutes.    Link only (due to NFL content.) https://youtu.be/LDzLS0viRX4?si=P5JkRNA8eqevnpHc Again, if you like hearing about receivers, give it a listen. I know at this point that it's easy to get overwhelmed and/or simply tired of too many opinions. That being said, I found the discussion about some of the receivers pretty interesting.  Tidbits: Both have Nabers WR1, but you can't go wrong with Harrison or Odunze. Smitty has Ladd at 8, Zierlein at 5. Smitty has Worthy at 5. Sixth is AD who needs to work on route running. Zierlein said two ex-receivers that Smitty knows have expressed concerns (and, just guessing, it could be Keyshaun & Irving). Legette is 9th. Which Legette are you getting? Many of these receivers, including Odunze will have to play in specific roles for them to shine.  Pearsall is 14th. He can play outside but eats in the slot.   The most interesting thing to me about watching these many analysts is that they all agree that where a guy is drafted and how he is deployed absolutely matters. It can make or break careers. Sure, you have some guys that can do it all, but those aren't as prevalent as we'd like to think, that's why putting guys in the best situations to succeed is so crucial. At the same time, you may not even know all the guy can do based upon the offense he was in on the collegiate level, so you at least have to explore the possibility that he can do more. Coaching is so important.     
    • I never tried HGH but tried a number of different gear related items over the years to include, test cypionate, test enanthate, sustanon, equipoise, masteron, primobolan, anavar and winstrol and damn sure enjoyed all of them. I heard a lot of good on HGH but also some bad. They sure do help in the short term over a number of years but when the playing days come  to an end you end up regretting all that stuff when you get past your 20's and into late 30's and early 40's. I would most definitely advise Bryce to avoid at all costs even if it means him losing his career. Gear is a silent killer and it slowly takes years off your life. Nearly killed me years later. He needs some good nutrition, some hard weight training and some explosive training on a field and I bet Bryce would very much have improved performance on game days. Drew Brees while taller than Bryce by a little was in fact very strong for his size and trained very hard for that strength which I believe helped him to be who in my opinion could possibly be tied for the best QB ever. Bryce needs to get on the Drew Brees training and nutrition plan.
