Re: Serious Question on Bridgewater
I hope that everyone is aware that each NFL game is essentially a season upon itself. Just because Teddy dinked and dunked for 177 yards out in the rain on an away game against a really tough defense doesn't mean that projects to any game in the future.
I've been rather quiet on this subject. But I have to admit I'm a bit frustrated with all the disappointment with TB. As the backup QB he has 3 jobs: 1. Protect the football. 2. Help the team win games. More importantly don't cause the team to lose games. 3. Keep the team in the season until Brees comes back. It's not throwing for 4000 yards. Or throwing the ball 50 yards down the field. It's not coming on the field as an all-Pro QB as a backup. And folks seem to be disappointed because they are not getting that with TB. I just don't understand why folks cannot comprehend that if a QB had that skillset, they wouldn't be a backup. Teddy is a godsend. A former starting QB who is a backup at 26 because of circumstances, not lack of production. There are 32 starting QBs currently in the NFL. Teddy is likely better than 20 of them. And he's our backup: ![]() SFIAH |

If people are expecting to see Brees successor out there and are scrutinizing him as such they may very well be let down. If they are looking at him like a backup QB and take his salary out of the equation then they may well be pleasantly surprised. I think he is somewhere in between. I see him as a good, safe QB for a team that has an elite defense but not a guy who is going to win a shootout. |

Re: Serious Question on Bridgewater
Had to bring this back to life to drive my point home.
Not sure if you watched any of the Packers/Philly game last night but final QB stats you may find interesting .... Aaron Rodgers 34-53 422 passing yards 2 tds/1 int (costly) Carson Wentz 16-27 160 passing yards 3 TDs Guess who won? You don't need to throw up crazy passing stats on a given night to win. Spread the ball around, have a good completion percentage, no turnovers, and play 4 quarters. ![]() |

Re: Serious Question on Bridgewater
I think he's saying that Teddy doesn't stink. He did what he needed to do to help win the game. Fortunately he got a little help from the defense and special teams, but I have to believe he can step it up if needed. We need to win the turnover battle this Sunday and Teddy has been very good at protecting the ball.
