Good Decision.

Interesting comment from the link.

I really like the kid - I have no idea on Earth how we'd keep him as I expect he's going to get well-deserved offers to start for someone else regardless of how well he plays on Sunday. I'm gonna be pullin' for him though, so long as he doesn't end up in the NFC South.

Good! I changed my mind. Rest Drew as a statement to all that individual stats are not the goal - a ring is the thing!

Re: Teddy Bridgewater will start for Saints on Sunday
 

Taysom Hill hasn't started a game yet as QB, has 64 yards passing.


I have $5 Drew gets his 8 yards against Carolina being utilized in one play like Hill has been for a shirt pass.

Re: Teddy Bridgewater will start for Saints on Sunday
 

This is not a smart strategic move. With only 46 active players and trying to rest as many as possible, it's not a good idea to take a QB, run him for a series or two, then sit him. He's now occupying an active roster spot that won't play in the game again.

There's no reason for Brees to hit the field. Save that slot for another position so that someone else can get less reps.

I can’t believe anybody thought there was any chance of Brees playing.

Re: Teddy Bridgewater will start for Saints on Sunday
 

add in the fact that the game in Carolina was very chippy, and this one could be much worse. I don't even #9 standing on the sidelines

Re: Teddy Bridgewater will start for Saints on Sunday
 

I never said I was in favor of it, and my bet has nothing to do with smart strategic moves. Some here might argue that Sean Payton on occasion does the exact opposite of that. Remember Taysom Hill's floater into the endzone against Pittsburgh?

When your opponent knows all of the same smart strategies that you do, the only thing that's unexpected is the truly unexpected.

We are talking about the man that went with an onside kick after 1/2 time for the Super Bowl are we not?:bng:

Re: Teddy Bridgewater will start for Saints on Sunday
 

HA!

Teddy will be a free agency in March and I don't see us pumping out cash to keep him, unless he drives interest. This game will be his only real test as a backup/starter. He did do well for the Jets in the preseason.

If Teddy flounders, Tasom Hill will probably get action.

I really would like to see Teddy do well. It's always smart to have a solid backup and maybe some trade or assets for trade for draft or otherwise. In fact, the better Teddy does Sunday, the better it is for the team overall.

Re: Teddy Bridgewater will start for Saints on Sunday
 

He’ll probably have his Matt Flynn moment and cash in.

Re: Teddy Bridgewater will start for Saints on Sunday
 

Let the bidding begin! Kick ass Teddy

Re: Teddy Bridgewater will start for Saints on Sunday
 

We're Ready for Teddy, plus Cam is out too.

Re: Teddy Bridgewater will start for Saints on Sunday
 

Lead early
Sneak Drew in for one play
Chip Luke Kuechly so he doesn't try to twist his leg (ala Kamara) causing injury

Re: Teddy Bridgewater will start for Saints on Sunday
 

I'm hoping he does well, but, it looks like half the O-line will be out, as well as some other starters, so, this is basically a pre-season game. Have to take this performance with a grain of salt.

Come on, Homer Simpson was better than Flynn....Teddy’s gonna be just fine, wouldn’t surprise me if he landed somewhere with a real opportunity to play.

Different tone than the Falcons board, that's for sure.

Behind a makeshift line Teddy is going to be running for his life.

Re: Teddy Bridgewater will start for Saints on Sunday
 

The guy couldn't even spell Brees' name correctly. LOL

Re: Teddy Bridgewater will start for Saints on Sunday
 

This is the only reason I am not upset that Drew might not get his 4000 yard season. He is only 8 yards short and surely Sean Payton can find a way to get him 8 yards! Drew might say that statistics are meaningless but another 4000 yard season to go with the rest of them as well as his 5000 yard seasons will still look good on his resume.

Re: Teddy Bridgewater will start for Saints on Sunday
 

Unless he has something in his contract that provides a bonus for reaching 4k I don't think Drew is going to care much.

Re: Teddy Bridgewater will start for Saints on Sunday
 

Drew Brees Resume, short concise and to the point.

Drew Brees G.O.A.T. NFL Quarterback

Re: Teddy Bridgewater will start for Saints on Sunday
 

You means it would look better on his career. He doesn't need a resume. :bng:
