Maybe Teddy Bridgewater wasn’t that bad….

I'm gonna sit here sipping my "I was content w/ Teddy" tea knowing full well this entire board was having an aneurism at the idea of him starting another game.

Truth is tho even I was wrong at the time, dude could not go deep. And without Curt? It wouldnt have been pretty.

Curt and Mike Davis were just as important to 2020's 'success' on offense.

Bridgewater games always went to the wire and to a field goal we would always miss. People love to poo on him here in this sub but the games were actually exciting to watch and we could actually move the ball. He played behind a putrid O-Line and was always running for his life.  I guarantee if he was on the team today, we would be leading our division. 

Think of all the draft picks and cap we would have saved if we had just stuck with him instead of making him the sacrificial lamb.

We lost a 2nd round pick and paid Darnold 20 million to ride the bench lmao

He wasn't BAD, he just wasn't good. 

 

Say what you want about swinging and missing on Teddy, Darnold and Baker,  a positive about this team is they will not be content on QB's and keep swinging. 

except they don’t know how to hold a bat and are facing the wrong way

Bridgewater wasn't anything special.

What he was though was right about Matt Rhule.

Most of us didn't believe him because we thought what he was saying sounded ridiculous, and it was.

Unfortunately, it was also the truth.

And for that crime he had to be banished.  We really showed him.  I'll bet Rhule pulled his scholarship, too.

That whole escapade was when I started to think Rhule was a dead end.

He was terrible at that job. He definitely lost games. Every time the game was close late he crapped the bed. 

I expected him to make mistakes, but that I recall the team was in every single game.  Listen I'm not calling the guy Peyton Manning.  I think he was average, and for a team that realistically at best could get a spark to make the playoffs, sometimes an average QB that won't consistently play crappy is all you need.

Yeah, but the games were at least fun to watch even though we would end up losing. It would always come down to last minute drive that would end in a missed field goal or Teddy trying to make a play that would lead to an interception. In the last 2 seasons, has anyone even had a chance to lead a game winning touchdown or field goal? Only one I can think of is the Atlanta game this year.

They were never going to replicate that first season even if Teddy were allowed to stay here.

Rhule had his shot to draft a qb twice and chose to get his people to fix someone else's draft busts.

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
