The Teddy Bridgewater Thread

Recommended Posts

If this staff thinks he is an upgrade - and is medically cleared....  then go for it.

 

I think he'll have a reasonable contract - probably incentive laden - and that plays right in to the cap equation.  Bring him in to compete with whatever group we have in training camp with the new OC.  The only real question mark with him I have is the medical clearance - and making sure he can do what you want to do as an offense.

You want Bridgewater and hate Tyrod?

 

You know Bridgewater is pretty much like Tyrod, right?

 

In an average season he has slightly more passing yards, less TD passes, less rushing yards, and turns the ball over more than TT. He does have a better record than TT at 17-11, but that can be contributed to a very solid defence with good coaching.

 

I am not trolling you for the record, just brought those stats to your attention in case you were unaware. 

 

I understand his upside his higher. But as of right now he is not an upgrade over TT, especially since he hasn't played in almost 3 years.

more passing yards, less TD passes, less rushing yards and turns the ball over more than TT- and you say they are similar?  And to add, Bridgewater is a pocket passer,  much younger too.  Something that we're missing here?

Much like Teddy's knee? 0:)

ouch.
amazing he has come back this far. Have to give him a boatload of credit for his hard work focus and faith to carry him to this point.

But seems Teams might have a hard time trusting his knee health. even before considering his potential as a still developing QB.

Are there reports to how much money Bridgewater is going to get? I am actually pretty curious

Probably in the $12 million per year range. 

 

I just noticed Spotrac finally has a market value for TB.

10.9 million average for 3 years.

I can't see too much guaranteed with his injury, maybe 12 or so.

Not bad, a team could get out of in a year if they wanted to.

I’m not too sure if you are agreeing or disagreeing with me to be honest.

 

They have different styles but I mean in terms of overall production so far in their career, there isn’t much of a difference.

 

TT does a few things better, but Bridgewater does a few things better as well.

I would be curious as to which area they see him as an uograde over Taylor.  It think If you fot Talor level consistency out of him you would be happy.  

Hmm this is a pretty tough question. Gonna go out on a limb and say Teddy can read a defense.

I think this is the exact kind of guy that this front office is looking for in FA (for all positions) coming off a down or injured year, question marks will make the cheaper/affordable and has a high ceiling/upside that they hope the player will be able to get back to.

 

Ideally, you get someone like him that is still young and can develop while taking over the starter spot allowing them to keep most of their picks to use elsewhere and hopefully still get one of the better qbs outside of the top ten that won't be rushed into the starter role immediately.

 

The key is how the doctors check out his knee and if they feel it's all good.

Last full year starting Teddy passed for 3200 yards 14 tds and 7 ints.  Seems like Taylor production minus the running ability and more ints.  Again where is the improvement?
