Teddy Bridgewater or Taysom Hill?

Beastmode · 09-16-2019, 12:46 AM

I see Payton going 60-40 Bridgewater - Hill. Neither is going to get us there but, combined it could happen. A real nightmare for defenses. It already is just need to expand it.

Can’t do that... timing matters as does WRs knowledge of where the QB places the ball. There is something unique about the QB/WR connection.

Hill is the guy imo, I think he could be very successful. Looked amazing in the preseason and gives that X factor. He will only last for 3-4 years until the hits catch up to him. Teddy has nothing unique to his game, locks in on 1 short pass and if it isn’t there it’s a bad play. I used to be a teddy fan until the CAR game last season when I realized how below average he really is.

Hill's strength is eliminated if he plays every down. For the best of the team a Bridgewater that has worked with the ones coupled with Hill coming in more often than with Brees will be our best approach.

That should keep us undefeated until Brees returns.

18-1 Baby!

“A week with the ones”?

How many times we have to read this book before it sticks — Teddy can’t do it. Let’s try the experimental drug before we subject ourselves to a slow, agonizing death.

If you have called QB the next Steve Young, sober or drunk, your decision is made isn’t it?

Teddy is a starting QB that has been waiting for his chance, he didn’t look like he was prepared for it.

This is the most logical answer. Teddy sure looks like he lacks pocket presence.

I can only come up with three possible explanations for what we saw and not a single one leaves me with much hope...

1. The pressure of coming off the bench cold shook him. (As seasoned as he is this should have not been the case)

2. The chance that he hung his helmet on to stay in New Orleans, a chance that a lot of names have dreamed of while passing through our locker room, arrived and he wasn't ready. (this one troubles me the most)

3. What we are seeing of Teddy is as good as he gets. (Sadly this I do believe is the case when I consider what we saw of him in pre-season)

I am open to rainbows if someone can throw a couple my way lol. Thoughts and prayers just to not resonate in my world.

True. But how does a QB get that presence working with the 2's in practice. He really can't. From what I saw, TB was hesistant in throwing the routes so he held onto the ball far longer than he should have.

I believe that if anyone can get him up to speed with running the offense, SP can. But I give him 3 games to show me someething before Taysom Time...

Pocket presence isn't something dependent on which string someone practices with, its a personal thing. Don't forget TB was a starter for 28 games in Minnesota.... He isn't a rookie and he hasn't ridden the bench, he should be able to step in just like Drew stepped in.

If the injury is as bad as some speculate, with a rehab time of atleast 4-6 months, there has to bee a risk that this was the last we saw of Brees playing football.
