Cripple Creek Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 2 minutes ago, Gugny said: So your definition of a bridge QB is any QB who has a backup. That's !@#$ing brilliant. Only if he was a rookie w that particular vet qb. Bridge qb to rookie qb ratio cannot be greater than 1:1. On the the other hand the rookie qb to bridge qb can Indeed be greater than 1:1. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, Gringo. Here are your words: "anytime you have a vet holding the drivers seat for a rookie that has been drafted to be the starter, that’s a bridge." You're halfway on the way to being correct. If the vet holding the driver's seat WAS ACQUIRED FOR THE PURPOSE OF ALLOWING THE ROOKIE/HEIR-APPARENT TO BECOME NFL READY ... then - and only then - is a bridge. Is that "undesrandable" enough for you? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bing Bong Posted March 14, 2018 Author Share Posted March 14, 2018 I screwed up the thread asking people to pose an argument. I should have just started a thread "I DON'T WANT A BRIDGE QUARTERBACK STARTING" and let the fights begin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cripple Creek Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 I did omit something above. There are rare inastances where multiple bridges are erected for a single rookie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victory Formation Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Who cares what the definition is of a bridge QB? The end result is the same. Sit the rookie on the bench until the game slows down. How you want to describe that or define that, I don't care. As long as we don't feed our franchise QB to the wolves, I'm cool with whatever you want to call it.

His biggest help was quality coaching and improved WRs at his disposal. Did you know that they would break huddle as quick as possible so that McVay could help diagnose the defense, or modify the play call, until the headset would cut out with 15 seconds left on the playclock?

Bridge QBs don't see themselves as bridges, they want the start and the contract, and have no interest in getting benched. Name me a situation where a bridge QB successfully passed the torch to a young QB. Favre and Rodgers certainly don't count. Use that relationship as your baseline. They aren't there to pass the torch... They're there to GET torched... Beating out a veteran QB is the first step in knowing your rookie is legit... Matt Flynn helped Russell Wilson.... Tony Romo helped the sh_t out of Dak Prescott... These types of bridges you DO burn. Edited March 14, 2018 by #34fan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
