We have a QB right now, can we stop acting like he doesn't exist?

Seriously, I know I'll get some hate, but Honestly, Bridgewater has been perfectly fine in our offense and occasionally has shown himself as someone we can build around.  Is he Cam?  Nope, but thats not who we are anymore and some people need to get that notion out of their head, we need to get this "Trevor or fields" stuff out of our mind and just let the season play out because IF teddy keeps it up, he very likely will be our "solution" for next year and possibly the foreseeable future.

BTW, for the "He SuCkS" crowd, right now he's on pace for 4600 yards passing...gee lemme see where that would put him on the panthers all time list...OH YEA, #1, better than any passing season cam ever had and better than Steve Beuerlein.  I'm not saying for sure he's our future, but he's been far from bad enough for us to have this much talk about a new qb next season.

Teddy has done well, but not great, yet. I think he'll continue to improve as he learns to spread it around. This is the first season he's played with any of these receivers, any of the linemen and only has a brief history with the OC.

Given all that, it's pretty amazing at times he's performing at the level he is. And yeah, those were a couple of really great, long passes yesterday. He's got the arm.

I for one have been wanting to give him a real chance this season.  The lack of TDs has me worried

I have as well. I think our biggest contributors to red zone TD’s in recent years past are Olsen and Cam. 
 

We need our big bodied guys to step up down there. Everyone is throwing Teddy under the bus but have failed to mention Ian Thomas. When Greg departed for Seattle most on here including myself felt confident he had potential to at least halfway fill the role an aging Olsen was leaving. The dude may has well have taken a nap in the locker room the last few weeks.

I would hold your horses on comparing him to Steve Beuerlein. Steve has the TDs to go along with the yards. Through 3 games TB has a grand total of 2 TDs and 2 INTs and 1 fumble. Can’t say he won’t turn it on but I have seen enough of his play to not be encouraged he will. So cool he has a chance at 4600 yards and 11 TDs. No impressed.

If he can get TDs with those yards it will help convince some.  

I mean he is looking at 11 TDs

I completely agree with that, but thats why I'm saying its to early to presume he's awful and we will have to push for a QB in the offseason.  If he does continue his passing yards pace (roughly, and ends with around 4500 yards) and ends with 22-25 TD's, A)we might not be in prime position for Lawrence or fields who will presumably be #1 + 2, and B) we probably would be better served drafting other players to compliment Teddy and make our team better.

      Gameday Thread: KC-CAR

      He made some excellent throws but he always has made some excellent throws here and there. I don't know what to think, which is what I was apprehensive about. Is he going to have a decent downfield game? Because okay Legette dropped one, but someone was giving stats prior to the bye or during it where he had two downfield completions and one of them was the jump ball that is just launched and fingers are crossed that our guy comes down with it, and yesterday we saw that again. The Russell Wilson school of downfield passing.  I don't feel like that is sustainable, but at the same time you have to do Something to make the defense understand they have to defend that downfield throws. Like i said, confused.  I guess I'm going to review the game for myself and look closely at his mechanics and stuff because if he actually fixed that stuff it explains the better throws. And that has been my biggest objection, or what I see as the thing that makes or breaks his chances, that unorthodox dropback and tippy toe action and not having his feet set which limits velocity etc etc.

      Crazy stat

      By Manna · Posted

      The negative Nancy in me (or objective?) says that they had a bye week to prepare for the Chiefs. However, it’s one thing to have a good plan and it’s another to actually execute it. For all the flack he’s received (from me as well), Bryce seemingly has put his head down and worked his tail off and his play is giving me hope. The first 18-game Bryce showed no progression whatsoever. He gets benched, comes back, and has shown steady progress every week he has started. I think I’m starting to see what the Bryce lovers and unconditional defenders were saying all along, and I hope he can show that on a regular basis for the sake of our QB1 position.

      Some Thoughts on Our Remaining Games

      Yeah, we could still very well end up 4-13 with the 2nd pick.   I think LVR has the inside track for 1, with only a JAX team as a team on docket that could be beatable.
