All things that Tyrod struggles with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The main difference between him and TT is the potential Teddy has. He is 3 years younger and has barely played in the NFL. TT has reached his ceiling and we know what he is. But yes as of now in terms of production, I don’t think there is a big difference between him and TT Teddy does have much more potential, I agree but I don’t think he’s going to pan out. Just a hunch. Doesn’t mean i’m not rooting for the kid because I really do hope he turns into a player. 4 minutes ago, 26CornerBlitz said: It is because Bridgewater plays within the structure and design of an offense with the ball coming out on time in 3, 5, and 7 step drops. All things that Tyrod struggles with. That I will agree with you on, the footwork is miles ahead of what Tyrod can do. Tyrod does not do well in anticipation type throws and Teddy is better there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cousins would be better than any available vet or draft pick; however, we're not getting him. He's going to Denver. If healthy, I'd take Bridgewater over Smith.

Call_Of_Ktulu Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 My main reason for not wanting Bridgewater is injury issues. I remember liking Bridgewater a lot at Louisville, and I'm sure Eric Wood would love to have him here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Higher upside... we get to keep ALL of our picks ....why is nobody talking about Teddy Bridgewater? Not me . given the choice gimme Bridgewater all day.

Bridgewater's injury was literally one of the worst you could ever have in regards to an orthopedic knee injury. 40% of the time this injury is severely unstable and chronically painful. He's lucky he didn't need his leg amputated. There is no way I'd bet my team's future on him, unless I was looking for a high stakes gamble. Look, it turned out great for the saints and betting on Brees, but be also played a solid season in SD before being replaced by Rivers. Brees had a torn labrum though, which is like a hangnail compared to Teddy's injury. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want Bridgewater's low output offense, why not just keep TT? He has more weapons. All this stuff about Bridgewater being this classic pocket passer---where is all the passing then? His offenses are anemic, as is his output. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difference between TT and Bridgewater is Teddy can read a defense. I'll say it again and maybe for the entire offseason. Any decent QB and we would of beat jacksonville.

Anyway, if Teddy is so good at reading defenses, why is his offensive output not better than TTs? I don't get it. Where is it hiding? He's great at reading D's, yet he's good for 3000/15?

What year is this---1985? Give me a qb that can actually go through his progressions and get to the third option. He's mobile enough to get out of trouble and he's 25 but the biggest difference is TT has had ample time and has not progressed. I would be happy with Bridgewater as long as they give him another target or two. I know people say the WR cupboard was bare this year and I kind of agree but it's been the same garbage from Taylor for a while even with better receivers . I'd roll the dice on Teddy and I'm sure i'm not the only one who would prefer him to Taylor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frogger Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Bridgewater, like Watkins, prior to the draft, said he was a Bills fan growing up. So that part of Teddy I really like. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd roll the dice on Teddy and I'm sure i'm not the only one who would prefer him to Taylor. I guess I just don't see this as anything but a lateral move. Like, would you have watched Teddy put up 3000 yards and 14 TDs for the Bills this year and say "yeah, he doesn't do it much, and our offense is ranked 29th, but I really enjoyed watching Teedy go through his possessions and complete 2% more of his passes than TT"? Remember, Teddy's BEST year was 14 TDs. Why would you settle for this kind of output from your QB after dumbing TT for the same result? People can imagine all kinds of magical powers that Teddy possesses , yet his game is what it is. Keenum has been a significant upgrade over Teddy, right off the bench---and this isn't even debatable. Alex Smith is, right now, light years better than Teddy has shown that he could ever be. Totally underwhelming. Hard pass. Edited January 19, 2018 by Mr. WEO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
