Saints Trade for Teddy Bridgewater

stickman · 08-29-2018, 07:43 PM

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.

if we let him walk it would be bonehead...He could be starting next year or the one after.

Kind of surprised, I didn't see this coming. I thought we were going to with Savage who is a steady eddie with starting experience.

But Bridgewater is a solid QB. Maybe he's just quality insurance for this year or maybe he will stick and become more here down the road. The loss of the draft pick kind of stinks but I guess we would have to nail our late rounders and UFA's, it's been done before.

Savage is a statue in the pocket. I bet DeAndre Hopkins (elite WR) is still somewhere in Houston doing back flips that he's gone.

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.

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.

plus his stats the first two years were pretty good...and he didn't really have good receivers or oline

I agree 100 percent I just hope he is fully back from that horrible injury. Dude is a beast though.
