And I think you would have to admit we finally unleashed Bridgewater and we are more likely to air it out vs be ultra conservative moving forward.

So I stand by my assertion based on the data at hand and the more likely future results that Bridgewater is indeed not hurting Thomas' stats or his averages.

How about I reference the first 3 games with Bridgewater as an outlier since we had an obvious conservative game plan? So can we expect what we got from yesterday's game as the average game going forward? Of course not.

Thank you for the self validation. lol

'Bridgewater was unleashed'... That is your take on things? Your rationalization is that he was forced to check down for three games in regular season play? On top of that Sean Payton has been "ultra conservative"? The man doesn't know how to be conservative at any level.

I enjoy a good debate as much as the next person but not when irrational assumptions are spoken as though they are truth.

Nothing here shows a "Teddy unleashed", Teddy's patterns look very similar each week and similar to Drew's. Week 2s attempts are similar/higher than week 5s, and considering we punted 2 more times against the Bucc's than any previous week I see zero sign of an unleashing or previous conservatism.

While I do not buy in, or understand, your constant throwing of crap at the wall to see what sticks, I do admire your 100% commitment to that strategy.
