Teddy Bridgewater or Taysom Hill?

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.
