Bridgewater virtual Presser

[hepcat]

I know a lot of Saints fans and asked around about Teddy. Not a single one had a negative thing to say about the guy as a person. As a player, obviously they think maybe he was carried by the fact the Saints had a loaded roster and a talented running game to help him last season, but they also acknowledge he’s a good QB and reuniting with Joe Brady is going to help him a lot.

I am excited to have him and hope he plays well

"Success" might be a relative term.

If he serves as a good fill in and mentor while the team prepares their next franchise quarterback, is that a success?

I'd say that's better than what happens to a lot of guys, so for me it's a yes. Others might disagree.

Yes.. Success is relative to who's outlook or point of view it's coming from .

Team Success is one view Teddy's idea of Success is different..

I loled when the tweet said Cam has not talked to Teddy since signing with the Panthers.

Seems like he picked a team without high expectations, a guaranteed starting job, and enough money to set himself up well if he makes it through the deal. 

With the panthers being what they are, even if he's a sub 500starter next season and we move on to a new QB he still should be able to find himself a backup job.

I'm expecting good things from TB Carolina and hoping for bad things from TB Tampa.

Bridgewater demonstrated the ability to read defenses and run a pro style system back when he was in college. The biggest question I had about him was whether his body could hold up to the kind of beating he'd take as a pro.

When he got injured so badly in Minnesota, that looked like a valid concern. But since then he's worked his way back from it and was able to play efficiently for the Saints last season. That's also a pleasant surprise since he looked like dog flop in the season ending game against Kyle Allen.

Here's hoping he and Brady work well together.

Why are you going to make me go rewatch that game. UGH!

Teddy statement right after injury in August 2016...

"I want to thank the Wilf Family and the entire Vikings organization, all of my teammates, friends, Eric Sugarman and the amazing Vikings athletic training staff and the fans who have sent me messages and wished me well. Your thoughts and prayers mean a lot to me and have helped me in this difficult time. There are great players and great leaders in our locker room who are going to fight to the end to reach the goals we set for 2016. I will be there mentally, physically and in spirit to support them accomplish those goals.

In order to have a testimony, you have to have a test. I come from amazing DNA, I watched my mom fight and win against breast cancer. We will, as a team, attack my rehab with the same vigor and energy. My faith is strong, my faith is unwavering and my vision is clear. My purpose will not be denied."

 

My purpose will not be denied...

It's pretty clear the Panthers were promising him the starting job when they were in negotiations.

i absolutely believe the FO is dumb enough to think they have to explicitly promise a guy a starting job while offering him over $20 million a year
