Over/under on Teddy to IR is week 5.5. He's gonna take an unholy beating behind this OL.

We don’t know that yet.

We don't know that the sun will rise tomorrow morning, but it's a pretty safe bet.

Maybe, maybe not. Have you been paying attention to 2020? Lol.

Despite what some want to believe, Teddy has never been great at getting the ball out quickly. He was slower to throw last year than Cam has ever been as long as the NFL has been keeping advanced stats on average time to throw. Allen was faster as well and he took a pounding.

And here we go again:

 

"Teddy was the NFL’s 13th-quickest passer among 37 qualifiers in Pro Football Focus’ Time to Throw metric, and his passer rating jumped from 87.6 to 108.4 whenever Bridgewater released the ball in 2.5 seconds or less."

Not trying to be funny, but as far as analytics are concerned, PFF is top of the heap. People ma not like their opinion pieces, I get it, but from a pure analytics standpoint, they're very thorough.

Moreover, here is another piece that's four years old, and a lot has happened since then--mostly Teddy rehabbing from injury--but Huddlers have overlooked Bridgewater's actual contextual circumstances. Here is an old Reddit post:

 

All I have been saying is that we need to give Bridgewater a chance. He was never the dog that people try and make him out to be. He doesn't have to be our future QB, but he might be the best bridge to span the gulf of a team that's effectively rebuilding from scratch. He certainly has a great mindset and ability to handle tough situations. Winning is no small feat, and Teddy won in 2019, just as well as in 2015 in circumstances that weren't as rosy as some would have us believe.

My money is on the Panthers keeping 12 receivers.

This is just another signal that the offense is going to have the pieces to let Brady be the mad scientist that I think he can be. Put on your PPE before you go into the lab because it's about to be explosive!

Careful with facts around here, people will get upset.

I've been vocal about not being crazy about the contract, in alot of ways it would have just been safer to go full "tank mode", but I do think he has a chance to be good in our system.  

People need to remember that he played two years, lost two years with an injury, then played a little as a backup last year.  If he was a young QB in his 3rd year I'm thinking people might give him a bit more of a leeway.

I think most people agree that so far in his career, he has been more of a game manager type, whether or not that was because of his limitations or the system he plays in, who knows?

Has he shown enough in his career to be viewed as a franchise QB, to a lot of people he has not.

Does he have a skill set that might allow him to become a franchise QB in our system?  I think he does, and I think the team thinks he does based on the contract they gave him.  

I'm just always hesitant about giving a player a contract based on what you "hope" he can become, that can be a risky gamble.
