The Saints traded for Bridgewater

This is a great move. Been needing an heir to Brees for a while. Bridgewater is as good of a replacement as you can ask for.

If Bridgewater is starting for the Saints in 2019 and Brees is retired, I'll be absolutely thrilled. Not that Bridgewater is a bad QB, but he's in that Andy Dalton range of being the definition of not bad/not good. I'd much rather deal with that going forward if that's their plan.

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

He's been overrated since being drafted. He'll be the best backup in the league next year, but that will only translate to being a mid-level starter if and when he takes the reins from Brees. He's a huge downgrade.

I wouldn't be counting chickens just yet.  Teddy is no future Drew by any stretch.  But it's better than anything you've had to date.

Aaron Nagler tweeted they gave up a 3rd rounder. Maybe they DO see him as the heir apparent going forward. Damn I would love to see this be Brees' last year to be replaced by Bridgewater permanently in 2019.

That sounds reasonable.

This only applies if they work put a contract extension. He's only signed for this year.

This

Itll be interesting what going ti happen.  They are cash strapped with Ingram and Fleener free agents next year too.

Im sure Teddy will not want to sign real cheap, more as a higher end backup if he is being told in he is the future plan once Bree's hangs it up

    • I mean it's not even like this was his worst game of the season... I'm not done with him by any means but this feels more the norm for him than the exception:/
    • I'd give it a C mainly because of Brooks.  If we just didn't have a 2nd I'd argue B to B+ tbh. Brooks was a bad gamble, tho one that could still pay off long term. Yes XL only has 400 yards but... Look who is throwing him the ball. And I think he isn't a "true #1" but he's been able to consistently get open. Hands definitely need to be cleaned up.  But he should end the year with 500-600 yards. Like you said - Sanders looks great.  Get him a better QB / more time with a QB and I think he's gonna impress. We added a couple rotational players on D that have both made plays and show promise for the future from later rounds. So I'd say, Brooks really hurts this drafts grade. It'll be interesting to see how it progresses over the next 3 years. I've overall really liked Morgan's FA acquisitions, so...
    • Oh he would absolutely flourish. It’s the panthers way. It’s no different with coaches. Sometimes they reach their expiration date, go somewhere else, and find new success.  Similarly to Burns, how long to wait for the light to finally turn on?  Market forces will demand a salary that the panthers can not responsibly match. Sliding him to guard will fit his skill set better, but he has played LT for 3 years. He will receive offers from other teams wanting to pay him LT money.  At guard, he won’t start with what they have paid Hunt and Lewis. Center then?? Dunno. Maybe? He will become a backup by default once they draft their stud LT. I doubt Dan just stands pat. That’s not his MO.  So where does this put him? Can you match what other teams will offer for a backup LT/guard? Do you dish out franchise LT $ on a guy who still needs significant improvement in pass protection. This team will be DOA in the playoffs with the very first team who has a formidable speed rusher. What if he has hit his ceiling in pass protection already and they sign him long term? It’s a big gamble either way.
