The Saints traded for Bridgewater


Sam Mills Fan

Recommended Posts

I look at it like this: trading Bridgewater to be a backup is a god tier move by the Saints. But if they're thinking that Bridgewater is going to Brees possibly in 2019, I'm not worried about that in the slightest.

The chasm between Teddy Bridgewater and Taylor Heinicke is pretty massive though.

I doubt they think he'll be Brees but he could very well be a top 10-15 starter.

Eh. I'm as worried about this as others seem to be. Let them have him. He woulda been a good backup here, but Cam has proven very resilient. If we lose Cam, our season is probably over no matter who the backup is. 

Just not something I feel like wringing my hands over. Especially when resources we might have used to secure Bridgewater can now still go toward some OL pickups after cuts.

    • It's sort of funny you guys were so bad with 3s tonight about the same time Silver and LeBron both say the game is broken due to too many 3 attempts. The NBA is almost unwatchable. No defense, refs call fouls for almost anything, guys care more about looking pretty on the court than playing tough, etc. Today's NBA is putrid.
    • It's gotten more complicated with the change of CBS and FOX no longer being exclusive AFC/NFC partners From a home team perspective, the NFL requires the home market (which is typically the broadcast reach of the station airing the game) to carry the game. For times where there is a conflict (let's say, FOX Charlotte is airing some major news event) then the broadcast will go to a local station that FOX Charlotte has an arrangement with -- like the CW, maybe.  Only in super-rare instances would local FOX throw the game over to a major competitor like to WSOC/ABC. But it could happen This is how games that are "exclusive" to streaming will end up being broadcast by a local channel in those home team markets -- because the NFL wants the local market to be able to see the game.  Amazon TNF games will always be available on some local channel in those teams' markets, for example. Or the upcoming Netflix games For TV markets that do not have a local team, then the local station gets to choose from what's available. Ideally, they'd choose a regional game or one that is close in the conference.  In Atlanta, for example, we would typically get one of the NFC South matchups for times when the Falcons aren't playing.
