why Teddy bridge water is a good qb for us as of now

[mrcompletely11]

Its been 5 seasons since he last played in double digit games.  He had a horrific injury that I cannot imagine will ever be the same.  And to top it off he wasnt that good when he did play.  Teddy is nothing but a place holder until we draft our guy.  He was brought in because he is familiar with Brady and is a good locker room presence and should be able to help acclimate whoever the new qb is next year.  Lets not go crazy over here @Mister

1st Round pick and Pro Bowl'er....that's what he "were"...

Being a 1rst round pick means nothing at this point.  And a pro bowler doesnt mean squat.

You think these are good stats? 

 3200 yards 14 tds 9 ints

I wouldnt be banging on the "pro bowl" drum

LOL   "Nearly every quarterback was replaced, including Carson Palmer, Aaron Rodgers, Ben Roethlisberger and Tom Brady, along with Super Bowl-bound Cam Newton."

teddy bridgewater was a pro bowler as much as trai turner was this past year

It does not matter what Bridgewater was---he is not going to play behind his trophy case.   What matters is the skill set.  He is a nice fit for this scheme.  Nobody promised anyone more or less than that.  If you went by resumes, Warner and Delhomme, two super bowl QBs, would have never been given a chance.  Sitting on the sideline after playing behind a TERRIBLE OL in Minnesota is a good thing.  He is 27, there is tread on the tires, and he has learned.  We have surrounded him with skill players at every position--he needs to get the ball out, on time, and accurately. 

Tell me, oh mighty sages of days gone by, did you see Joe Burrow coming?

@mrcompletely11, you just watch.

If you can't bring yourself to support Teddy it would behoove you to find another team because Big Time Teddy is going to be the Panthers starting QB for a long time.

4 teams by age 27.

Deceiving stat to say the least. Had a rookie deal/played solid as a rookie then got a potential career-ending injury so didn’t have his 5th year picked up. Jets did a basic sign and trade with the Saints. He never took a snap with the Jets. Saints let him sit/learn/get healthy and could no longer afford him because their HOF QB is playing well into his 40s and Teddy had performed well enough to get paid like a starter.

So basically wasn’t resigned because of injury (same thing happened to Brees btw). Then after a sign and trade by the Jets he played back into becoming a starter (similar to Tannehill last year). It’s not what comes to mind as a journeyman QB.

Good luck with that
