Quick show me his stats with the almighty New York Jets

He was still recuperating from one helluva catastrophic injury. You know, context does matter.

Many good QBs have had good defenses backing them up. It's not like you're going to get a ring with a sucky defense.

Our defense is young & inexperienced in 2020. That's not going to continue to be the case.

Just saying this to temper expectations for 2020. Of course they will get better as they get experience.

Biggest issue the Panthers had in 2019 was turnovers at the QB position and run defense. Panthers had a -14 turnover differential in 2019. 35 giveaways to 21 takeaways. When Kyle Allen was protecting the football, the Panthers were winning. Then he turned into a fumble and interception machine. Bridgewater will probably help in that area. But I think it might be optimistic to expect such a young defense to expect to get 21 turnovers again in 2020. And the run defense....who knows if that will get better.

Context didn’t matter in those posted stats lol- being carried by all pro RB and top defenses.

All he is is a mere game manager on a team that needs much more than a game manager to even compete.

Not really. 

 

Game managers need excellent talent around them.

 

Not sure if you've noticed, but there is a crap load of talent on our offense.

The offense is definitely the strength of this team. A game manager QB like Bridgewater can succeed with one of the best all-purpose RBs of all time, a pretty good trio of WRs, and a young innovative offensive coordinator. If Bridgewater can minimize turnovers and just get the ball to the playmakers on offense, this team will at least score points. 

Defense is going to take a couple seasons.

True! 

Bridgewater doesn't generally turn the ball over. That shouldn't be underestimated.

The Jets should have kept him around but they are the Jets.

It's not like Bridgewater played with the Steel Curtain. And, bottom line, crappy defenses don't win championships!

[top dawg]

Show me a team without a good defense, and I'll show you a team that makes an early exit from the postseason, if they can get there at all. The Teddy-needs-a-defense argument is effectively a nonstarter for me. All good QBs need a good defense to maximize their competitiveness, especially when it matters.

How's that oline looking?

Teams led by Bridgewater are:

31-9 (78%) ATS
25-15 (63%) straight up

That's the best ATS mark in the NFL.

 

 

 

  Spoiler Alert!

 

Don't bet against Teddy.

How is his career record only 22-12? Those numbers don't add up. Are they counting games where he's coming in half way through games?

[4Corners]

8-8 and the 17th overall pick here we come baby

You might want to look in to that carried by an all pro rb statement a little more. Peterson had one full season with TB, 2015. 2014 Peterson had a total of 75 yds.

Point me to where I can bet against Teddy. Cash in hand.
