Teddy Bridgewater to backup Cam Newton?

[Shocker]

If healthy I think he is better than a few starters in the league.  If the medical checks he'd be a great option.

we wouldn't have to deal with as many calls to start the back-up since he shares the trait a lot of people want Cam benched over

I would prefer Bradford to help out with accuracy on intermediate and short passes.

LOL NO!!!! you would have a million people calling for Bradford to be starter

he's one of those guys that no matter how much he fails he should always get a 2nd 3rd 4rth 5th chance

I think he would be an excellent game manager, which is what I'd want in a back-up.  Doesn't make stupid throws and is pretty conservative with the ball.

Ummmm, he's going to make a lot more than we would be willing to pay a backup QB.

Rivera is hinting we might just bring back Derek Anderson

Are you sure about that? Lots of teams are gonna be scared about that leg. And we should be too. Price tag needs to be really low. He hasn’t proved he’s back from it.

Yea....I don't like that idea at all.  Time to go younger and cheaper.

Teams will take a chance on a starting QB, which I believe him to be.

I'm not saying that he will make top half of the league starting money, but I do think that he will command a fairly large "prove it" deal.  Denver, Jacksonville, Minny, and Jets all need a QB, not to mention teams like the Steelers and Giants could overpay for a backup knowing that Eli and Ben are on their last legs.  That would give him another year of rehab, then he could start in 19 when those two are gone.

What I'm saying, is I think he will likely be a backup, but will likely be paid like the 25-35 or so QB in the NFL.

Oh, I read it, and I don't like it at all.

Ron does love his vets, and Hurney I doubt is going to want to meddle in that too much.
