He did, but now that I dig into my previous bias a bit... What does he do great? He really hasn't had any standout performances for us. He has been serviceable and that's good for a backup QB, but I can't say he is the next 'guy' for us (I used to think that). It taking this performance as a stand alone, I started to go sour last year when he started against Carolina and sucked...

Looking back on it, I have nothing to base my opinion on of him being the guy.

So far, Teddy has not lived up to his salary cap hit. If we had let him walk during the offseason, we probably get a compensatory pick, third rounder potentially. JT Barrett looked every bit as good if not better, and he's not even on the team right now.
