NFLNew Orleans Saints expected to re-sign Teddy Bridgewater
 

It looks like Teddy Bridgewater won’t be moving on to another team to become a starter after all.

Re: NFLNew Orleans Saints expected to re-sign Teddy Bridgewater
 

Interesting. I was sure he wanted to go somewhere to start. I wonder what kind of deal they're striking up. And how long of a contract...

Re: NFLNew Orleans Saints expected to re-sign Teddy Bridgewater
 

I was looking forward to seeing him go. This man is not the answer to replace Drew. If we could get a pick for him I say use that to draft a young quarterback and develop him. I hope what they say about don't believe everything you read to be true.

Re: NFLNew Orleans Saints expected to re-sign Teddy Bridgewater
 

Resign for trade at a later date? Wonder what this means to Ingrams contract.

Re: NFLNew Orleans Saints expected to re-sign Teddy Bridgewater
 

So....Drew just wants to play one more year? I can't see us tying up that much money to a back up for a couple of years. Drew may have decided that he is looking at retirement(God I hope not) and we think TB is the future. I like him but I'm not so sure he is the heir apparent.

Re: NFLNew Orleans Saints expected to re-sign Teddy Bridgewater
 

You won't get a heir for Brees
The best best is to have a man that can step in a run a offense. Without that expect years in the netherworld and the better players walking. Unless you luck into having franchise QB coming out the year after you tank cause you have no QB you likely are not getting one. How often do franchise level QBs hit the market?

Getsom Taysom!

If you're John Elway, EVERY YEAR!!!!!

Those "INSIDERS"? How do they get "INSIDE"? (ONLY EGGSPURTS KNOW FOR CERTAIN)

Never forget the "INSIDERS" that said "NO!" to Brees!!

Re: NFLNew Orleans Saints expected to re-sign Teddy Bridgewater
 

Nobody wanted Brees after his injury either

Re: NFLNew Orleans Saints expected to re-sign Teddy Bridgewater
 

Let's hope we have a Favre/Rodgers situation on our hands then ... without the Favre yo-yo-ing and unretiring.

Re: NFLNew Orleans Saints expected to re-sign Teddy Bridgewater
 

There goes our 3rd round pick but would we have gone after a qb in 3rd anyway if bridge was traded. So we’re even

Re: NFLNew Orleans Saints expected to re-sign Teddy Bridgewater
 

I had high hopes for Teddy when he first came in the building, and I think the jury is still sorta out on him. But that Panthers game at the end of the season was hot garbage, and it wasn't just Teddy. NOBODY in a Saints starting uniform wanted to be on the field for that game, it was terrible on both sides of the ball, terrible game planning, poor coaching, poor playing, but I don't think that ONE game was really representative of what this team would be, post-Brees, if Teddy were to take over for real. It was an eyesore of a game, it was a miserable showing, but I think there were many things going on behind the scenes in that game, that made it much worse than a truly representative sample of what a Brees-less Saints with Bridgewater under center in the regular season would really be like. Everything about that game was whack, from the very start. Throw out the tape and burn it.

Re: NFLNew Orleans Saints expected to re-sign Teddy Bridgewater
 

At least we will get a full preseason to see what he’s got.
I so badly want to wish Taysom into a starting QB. Dude has heart and a mean streak. Probably won’t happen but I love the guy.

Re: NFLNew Orleans Saints expected to re-sign Teddy Bridgewater
 

IDK ...

Coach Sean Payton/Joe Lombardi had a full year to work with Teddy. They've seen him every day in practice, meetings, etc. Kind of hard to slam the guy based off a couple of games late in the year. IIRC we rested Kamara, rested a bunch of O lineman, then Andrus got hurt. We had two tackles off the street protecting TB blindside while he was running for his life. And despite that, he wasn't garbage.

IMO he's better than Chase Daniel ever was & 2M more than Case Keenum.

I won't pretend to know what goes on behind closed doors but I think the HC and his staff have a lot more insight & knowledge about all aspects of the decision than any of us do.

Re: NFLNew Orleans Saints expected to re-sign Teddy Bridgewater
 

Credit coach Payton for the Chopper style start in week 16, subsequent crash and burn. Now Saints can keep him on the cheap for development.

Sean has been paying attention to the Pats and Belichick.

Genius :bng:.

Re: NFLNew Orleans Saints expected to re-sign Teddy Bridgewater
 

Teddy was a probowler before he got hurt. Hes got alot of potential and if sean wants him to stay he must have something that caught his eyes as well. Will he be drew of course not but sean will re-do the play book to play on teddys strengths just like he did with drew and alvin.

"Inability to stay healthy?" Dude, he got his knee blasted and destroyed. He came back. That's the only real injury he's ever had. And he hasn't had anything since. You make it sound like he's constantly injured.

I think TB is better than a lot of other backups. And he can still be coached up more. He hasn't hit his ceiling yet.

As long as we dont over pay for him, I like it. The only thing better would be T. Hill. He's an animal and is a blast to watch. But he still needs refinement.

Re: NFLNew Orleans Saints expected to re-sign Teddy Bridgewater
 

I just see us getting to the NFC Championship game with Teddy and him blowing out both knees or something but we've been losing NFC Championship games anyway so what the hell. I still want Getsom Taysom!

Re: NFLNew Orleans Saints expected to re-sign Teddy Bridgewater
 

Bridgewater could've signed with the Dolphins and became a starter, but would rather be a backup here....

That should speak volumes to everyone about how dysfunctional of a team Miami is.

Re: NFLNew Orleans Saints expected to re-sign Teddy Bridgewater
 

or how functional he'll be as our starter in the future. I only hope so. I still want Getsom Taysom!

Re: NFLNew Orleans Saints expected to re-sign Teddy Bridgewater
 

Re: NFLNew Orleans Saints expected to re-sign Teddy Bridgewater
 

I’m ok with TB leaving. Again, I didn’t see anything that made me confident in him as our starter.

Re: NFLNew Orleans Saints expected to re-sign Teddy Bridgewater
 

Same, he could barely complete a pass against the Panthers backups in Week 17.

I was meh about the signing in the first place, I honestly don't think he or Taysom are our QB of the future.

Re: NFLNew Orleans Saints expected to re-sign Teddy Bridgewater
 

Rumors or has Sean shown his cards?

Re: NFLNew Orleans Saints expected to re-sign Teddy Bridgewater
 

The SP to Dallas rumors never cease to persist. I wasn't even married back when we first started hearing that crap. This makes me feel old.
