The Saints have a much better Oline. Plus Brees is a HOF and T.B. is the stop gap guy behind him. Don't know what you expect with this signing. Maybe another 5 win season at best.....S.O.S with a different guy throwing the ball.




I expect a QB that had some pretty convincing success on a New Orleans team with nearly identically the same time to throw that Kyle Allen has to perform pretty well in a system based on New Orlean's system.

Bridgewater played 13 games as a rookie and started the last 12 racking up a 6-6 record.  He was named NFL Rookie of the Year for the 2014 season.

His 2nd year he started all 16 games and the Vikings went 11-5 in the regular season.  The Vikings lost 10-9 in the Wild Card round (on a missed chip shot w/ no time by his kicker) and Bridgewater was named to the Pro Bowl for 2015. 

Prior to the 2016 season he was injured in practice and he missed the entire season and a lot of 2017 as well, next played in week 15 of the 2017 season. 

He's proven to be a very capable backup to Brees while biding his time for the right opportunity to be the starter.

As a starter he's gone 22-12 in the regular season which included a lot of games as a rookie.

He's still only 27 and the mileage count on his body is very low.

There's a ton of reason for optimism here and the rhetoric suggesting Bridgewater is some sort of washed-up career backup is total nonsense.

Its sad because while I haven't liked Teddy, he has been a steady leader since his horrific injury.  Like I said, it kind of reminds me of how Brees fought back after his injury and no one wanted him following San Diego.  With him knowing Brady's system, this could end up good.  Again, like the trade of Turner, I think this might be moves to get players that fit the system more than anything and Cam is a guy who needs the system tailored to him and brady is gonna move us in a direction they don't think cam will be successful in.

I mean, we've never done anything after signing a former New Orleans back up QB. 

Except go to a Super Bowl? :thinking:

People really should understand that a lot of these stats reflect more on the Saints system than they do Bridgewater.

Bash or being honest? He’s a better version of Kyle Allen. He is teddy “checkdown” bridgewater and we signed him for 60 million dollars. This franchise is inept.

if you cut or trade Cam, do the tanking right. This is fuging stupid.

Yep, that's what we did. 

And I agree. Teddy has some definite upsides and he's a guy that has not had a chance to reach his full potential, but has a history of putting in the work, whether it be rehabbing from a horrific injury to taking to coaching. He and we could be meeting at the right intersection on the charts.

      You go after my guy with nonsense like "I don't see quickness or explosiveness" and "I haven't seen a lot of quickness or full route tree ability that we always ignore" Then yea, I'm gonna punch back. Like I've said, if people want to draft someone else, that's totally fine, everyone has their own opinions.  But if you're going to advocate against a specific player, don't talk complete nonsense about their game like this. Even more so, don't do that when you're saying I'm the one with a bias towards him. If I was afraid of it looking like a bias pick on my part, I'd never have said I was an Arizona alumni when arguing for him, but I've admitted it from the very beginning, because I don't think my Arizona connection gives me a bias, it just means I know his game REALLY well as I've seen every snap of his college career.  So yea, you start saying the knocks on him are things that he's actually really good at, then you're going to get an earful from me with some video evidence to back it up. In the end, for me, it all falls back to how rare a player like T-Mac can be due to his size.  The smaller speedier type of WRs are exactly who you can find in later rounds and who become available as Free Agents, I can't ever get on board with taking a Hunter (as a WR) or Burden over T-Mac if all were on the board, for that reason alone, and I'd say that if he was a freaking Sun Devil, no matter how much it would hurt me to admit if it if that were the case.
