Saints Trade for Teddy Bridgewater

08-29-2018, 08:29 PM

For someone still very much learning the game, this thread has been a great read.

I liked Teddy in his rookie season for the Vikes so I am very happy with him sitting behind Drew. He was fantastic in his rookie year, imagine how much better he will get learning from one of the greatest QBs of all time. Even Teddy would be excited at that prospect!

This is a great move!! We now have a legit back up QB! This is a guy that can actually be a starter....its going to help us tremendously. Drew has nothing to prove, but you gotta think his competitive level just rose up a little bit!

Okay, I guess I'll throw my 2cents in here...

We get a solid backup for the year, and if he walks after the season we get a compensatory third and still have the Jets 6th.

Having trouble seeing a downside.

But, that's just me.

I had no idea about the compensatory pick. I don’t see a downside.

Funny thing. Just yesterday a caller dialed WWL and was talking about how the Saints should take a look at Bridgewater. Both Bobby and Kristan said it was a horrible idea and he wasn’t any better than Savage or Hill. I tune in today to hear them praising the move comparing him to Russel Wilson.

They can’t really watch football if they think Savage and Hill should be mentioned with the likes of Bridgewater. We’re talking about 1st round Quarterback and former Pro Bowler. Just watch the film. Watch his movement in the pocket. He’ll actually have weapons here. We won big on this trade.

And the Patriots flipped him

Bridgewater is a low cost insurance policy
And legit answer to life after Brees

Low cost? 6 million on a one year rental is not low cost.

There was an article posted shortly after the trade and it referenced us giving up a 3 and an unnamed DE but clearly
That was not the case. That may be where he got it. I read that earlier and have seen no other reference. Maybe it was CNN...

WWL is going to push anything they can to get the fans behind the team. One day he’s a bust but the next day when we sign him he’s Russel Wilson. That’s flip flopping worse than Hillary.
you would think they would at least act like they dislike the idea at first and then warm up to it to give listeners enough time to forget about them bashing him.
Just shows you how stupid our local media thinks fans are.
