QB Controversy
 

D. Brees and Teddy against the same Panthers

Brees: 22-35 203 yrds, no TD, 1 INT. Only 12 points

Teddy 14-22 118 yrds 1 TD, 1 int 14 points

You be the judge

Re: QB Controversy
 

Oh boy, here come the old guys to tell us how it really is. They're so knowledgeable.

Re: QB Controversy
 

No controversy .Drew needs to come back or it could be a controversy between Taysom and Teddy

Re: QB Controversy
 

Kyle Allen 16-27 228 yards, 2 TDs, 0 INTs, 33 points

Cam Newton 16-29 131 yards, 0 TDs, 1 INT, 9 points


Supports our Saints history of making all stars out of first time QB starters

Re: QB Controversy
 

Which QB led team won?

Re: QB Controversy
 

but wait, teddy did not have AK or the entire oline

just saying

Re: QB Controversy
 

the real reason sp wouldn't let teddy throw, scared to hurt drew's feelings? agree or disagree?

Re: QB Controversy
 

Brees won on the road on MNF

Just sayin'

Re: QB Controversy
 

but the defense won that game, right?

Re: QB Controversy
 

SP prolly didn't wanna see Choppa Style in the locker room!

Re: QB Controversy
 

lmmfao!!!! exactly

Re: QB Controversy
 

Disagree

Re: QB Controversy
 

Offense had to get the lead for the defense to protect.

Re: QB Controversy
 

Teddy gets to many props for doing nothing, the guy finally gets his chance and stunk it up. He isn't the answer in my opinion.

Re: QB Controversy
 

To be fair I don't think SP played this game to win

Re: QB Controversy
 

yet he scored more points and threw more td's than drew could against this same team. And he had less people at his disposal.

???

Re: QB Controversy
 

What's more important; wins or stats?

Re: QB Controversy
 

but if the d didnt let up 33 we would have won

Re: QB Controversy
 

Give Teddy our starting o-line and Kamara, Ginn, etc, and I think we'd be in the hunt.

Re: QB Controversy
 

The sooner we can dump Brees, the faster we'll be popping wheelies and collecting Superbowl rings with Teddy at the helm.

Re: QB Controversy
 

Lmao!!! You guys are clowns.

Re: QB Controversy
 

Not sure if you are serious here. Are you saying Teddy should be starting over Drew, that would be a foolish statement.

Also, to say these were the same teams is erroneous. Carolina had 2nd and 3rd stringers on D for the 4th qtr (when Teddy had some success).

Re: QB Controversy
 

dude come on...

I actually got the idea because someone on this board literally told me that chase had better numbers than drew as an insinuation it meant he was better than drew.(for that week) So I just wanted to post something absurd and see how many peeps would comment

Plus it is going to be boring until the divisional round so figured I'd have a little fun

Re: QB Controversy
 

Not to mention Journeyman QB's like Ryan Fitzpatrick & Sam Bradford as well.
Even Roman Gabriel gave thought about coming out of retirement against the saints.

Re: QB Controversy
 

Didn’t give a second look at playing to win just like 2009 oh ya we won it all that year . Meaningless flop guys let’s move on

Re: QB Controversy
 

Lmfao I love it

Re: QB Controversy
 

This is an amusing thread, but I would like to address all the haters that I've been seeing (Not here, mind you. Mostly on Facebook.) who are all like "We're in deep trouble if this guy takes over after Drew leaves."

Guys, he was making his first start in three years, behind a patchwork O-line, mostly handing off to a 3rd string RB, with the most vanilla of vanilla play calling. Give the guy a break!

Re: QB Controversy
 

I guess it's stupid for me to post in the Saints forum, since certain people will say "you don't have the right", but, whatever. I just saw this comment and I can't help but reply.

Regardless of any controversy or no controversy, it just doesn't make any sense to say that the offense had to give the team a lead to protect. Who protected the lead, if they won a game while scoring 12 points? The offense? Not quite.

The extent to which people will go to protect the "sacred" ground Brees walks on has always amazed me. And I'm not doggin' on the guy, either. But there has to be a limit somewhere.

Re: QB Controversy
 

How soon we forget the years when the offense had to score like a pinball machine because the defense couldn't protect a lead.

Re: QB Controversy
 

I haven't forgotten, my friend. Winning a game while needing to score 40 points is not the same as winning a game, scoring 12.

When you put up 40, you credit the offense. When you only score 12, you credit the defense if you win. It's not any more complicated than that.

Re: QB Controversy
 

Through the years, however, when Brees has had bad performances nobody has been allowed to say that he was bad. There's always been some weird, abstract analysis given to try to prove that he was somehow managing the game. Like as if he planned it that way.

Never made any sense to me.

Re: QB Controversy
 

If a team scores 40 points and loses, offense isn't the problem.

Re: QB Controversy
 

You could probably count on both hands the number of games the Saints have lost because of Brees.

Re: QB Controversy
 

Re: QB Controversy
 

.......?


Did you read what I said? If the offense scores 40, you credit them. If they score 12 and win, you credit the defense. That's what I said. In what way did I insinuate that scoring 40 and losing is the offense's fault?

It seems like you don't want to see a simple point for what it is.

Re: QB Controversy
 

It is these type of arguments I was being satirical about with my post. Maybe you are too

Re: QB Controversy
 

I am so confused by his post to your post...it was literally like regurgitating what you had just said

Re: QB Controversy
 

I can definitely count more than that, that he cost the team. Not that any one player single handedly loses a game, but you get the point.

You're missing the main point, though, again. I'm not saying Brees sucks and should be immediately supplanted by Teddy Bridgewater. I'll leave you folks to argue about that, if you want to. It's the idea that Brees can do no wrong. Your comment that I originally responded to was case in point. That you would try to frame a 12 point output as a good job by the offense, simply because they won, makes no sense. If the defense doesn't show up, it's a loss. When another QB puts up 14 points and loses, he sucks, and somehow he is also responsible for the defense sucking.

There is no consistency there.

Re: QB Controversy
 

Seemed tome that just about every pass play Teddy was looking for MT till almost too late to hit anyone else. Coaches design or Teddy wanting in on record?
