Finding Teddy: Should the Bills acquire Bridgewater?


Recommended Posts

Lots of speculation if Teddy will be back or Bradford will be the guy going forward. Bridgewater had his career derailed by that gruesome knee injury but may very well be available.

 

Should the Bills look into the third year player? He's still got a ton of potential, moves very well, may be the perfect fit in Dennison's horizontal offense.

 

Arm strength with Teddy is questionable, but I think he has an adequate arm.

 

Would you go after him? Would you give him $12M per in the offseason? (Throwing that estimate out there.)

He don't have a leg to stand on, I wouldn't pay him to throw a fit, let alone a football. Besides, we have a healthier version of him already in Peterman. The best ability is availability, right? Therefore, hell no. He's a career backup from this point forward, for however many years he can hang on for. Sad but true IMO

like what we saw with RG3, Bridgewater was good because there was the threat he would run. now that he has a bum knee he won't be mobile and as a pure pocket passer he is sub-par. so no thanks.

 

:Edit: Guess I was wrong, I was confused by his Madden ratings where he's one of the best running QB's in the game. He's just a sub par pocket QB in real life

am i allowed to call him a mobile QB? or is that racist? :doh:

He was a pocket passer. Bridgewater and RG have one thing in common and it isn't their mobility.

 

With that being said I don't think he makes much/any sense for the Bills.

*IF Bridgewater can ever come back from the nasty knee injury 100% he is worth a shot as he was still developing.

 

He will most likely come back like Daunte Culpepper though who's promising future was derailed by major knee injury against the Panthers and ultimately ended his career.

 

Fingers crossed for this guy though.

This is just not accurate.

He wasn't that great even before his knee exploded.

 

 

2015- 65% Comp. for 3200 yards, 14 TDs and 9 picks

 

2014- 64% Comp. for 2900 yards and 12 picks.

 

This. Throw in the injury and at this point the most he's worth is a league minimum prove it deal.

When's the last time a QB got the league minimum?

I think you understand the spirit of his post and are arguing semantics. There are some QBs that signed for 2mil or less. There are some that are signed for 1mil or less.

I hear that, I just don't think its realistic to lump Teddy in with those guys.

 

I think Bridgewater will get more money on the market than say EJ Manuel.
