The Zen of Teddy Bridgewater

[Jeremy Igo]

Teddy Bridgewater reflects on that horrific injury from 4 years ago and how far he has come since. 

Teddy took tragedy and turned it into inspiration and an opportunity to better himself both physically and spiritually it seems. 

I don't know if you guys remember, but I read when it happened that players on the team were vomitting from how bad it looked. That cannot be an easy thing to bounce back from. 

Good on ya Teddy. I am 100% in your corner.

It is totally different, but I think Covid has really had the same effect on a lot of people! Looking back, reflecting and making changes in many shapes and forms.

A lot of people are going to come out of this worse off, fatter and more broke. On the other hand many others are going to come out stronger. I personally have lost over 20lbs just biking/gym out of boredom, earned a new feather in my career cap with an extra certification I had been meaning to do for years but never really had the time for, and found that i could live happily pinching pennies and moving forward even when back to work I will be able to save close to 70% of my income.

Good on Teddy for coming out of that experinece and better and stronger individual. I hope this once-in-a-lifetime situation we are dealing with and the tailspin it has thrown many of us into will yeild the same kinds of result: They we learn and grow stronger from it!

I for one can’t wait to see what Teddy and DJ can put together with CMC on the check down. I’ve watched Teddy all the way back to his days at Louisville, stand up guy and a much better football player than anyone is giving him credit for. Hope he stays for a long time.

I think Teddy is going to impress a lot of folks. We'll be looking back at them picking him up and understand it was a very, very smart move.

well put.  95% of anyone who's actually followed Teddy's career as in watching actual games,  all rave about Bridgewater.  Saints fans said all the same things as Panthers fans are now, but they'll learn just like the Saints fans did.  They'll learn...

Ive really started to like me some Teddy Bridgewater

No reason not to like him. Trashing him wont bring Newton back.

I certainly hope so, I don't see that, but would love a good story.

Sit back, wait, watch, welcome.

Like trading a sports car for an SUV.  At first, you think, "This sucks." Then you start noticing things--like the roominess, the convenience, and the versatility.  While it cannot do all that a sports car can do, it meets more needs.  It takes time.

I would add that with Bridgewater at QB, the Panthers might just be harder to defend.

I really don't understand why people would dislike Teddy. He didn't do anything but overcome what most thought would be a career ending injury and signed a contract that will set him for life.

Butthurt over management's decision to move on from Cam shouldn't have any bearing on Teddy being a good guy. Last time I checked, Teddy didn't cut Cam.
