It's because they don't watch the Panthers. The receivers YAC ability and clever use by Brady create box score stats that tell a very different story from his actual play. What I find annoying is the game commentators singing his praises when hes clearly making bad Wentz-like throws. So un-objective. All they care about is his story-yawn. 

 I admit I can see a lot of good things he's done but why are people just pretending that he's some kind of transcendent QB?

  If you give him that contract (and the saints a 3rd round comp)  a nice comeback story isn't enough.

Can confirm. Talk to folks who only follow us through fantasy football and TV highlights and they all say that Teddy is having a good year. It's like the reverse of how they looked at Cam from afar.

 Its been obvious to any knowledgeable fan (for years now) that Teddy is a backup quality qb. Its kind of scary that multiple people in our front office thought he was a good idea. Did they not have access to you tube? How many times in Teddys career has he thrown a 1 yard pass on 3rd and long? Oh but that completion percentage though....f*ck me!

You're still defending him? Holy shitttttttttttttttttttttt

Huh?

Where in those tweets did it say anything about Bridgewater?

I’m talking QB traits. You don’t need a cannon of an arm to be a good QB. And that is true.

Bridgewater played horrible Sunday. I sure as sh!t not debating that

Nope. Fans love guys that can throw it sixty yards downfield but it's not about throwing it a long way or even throwing it hard. It's about throwing it to a spot where it needs to be and doing so accurately.

For me, a strong arm is well down the list of priorities for a quarterback. Accuracy and brains are the top two by a mile.

Eh idk. Maybe 10 years ago. The game has changed so much the past 10 years. Hell even the last 3 years. I think a strong arm is way more important now than it ever has been. You have to stretch the field in the modern NFL

The winningest quarterback in the league is a 43 year-old guy whose arm strength was never exactly special.

You've also got Drew Brees who doesn't exactly have a cannon on his shoulder either.

Throw in that West Coast and E-P systems seem to be a lot more prevalent in the league now than vertical systems like the Coryell.

Consistent production is a way better winning formula than hoping for big plays.

      Agreed on the last part. They can’t afford to lose all these games with Martin and Perets.

      Serious Thoughts Fellas What numbers would Bryce..

      Yes.  And this converts directly to confidence.  Does the coach have confidence to call a deep dig or seam route?  Does Bryce have confidence in his ability to be the Alpha?  Do his teammates have confidence.  About film--when I see Cam Newton's pre-snap confidence vs. Bryce's, it is night and day.   Film--tells you if the WRs are open (why l love watching the Replay telecasts from the end zone cameras--you can see it.  I have seen 2 WRs open and Bryce's eyes are on the outlet WR or the pass rush. )  You can see progressions, and he has improved a bit--but he is very quick to rush through 1 and 2 and checkdown--that is a lack of confidence in his ability to read the defense.  I had a former NFL TE (Deems Maye) who played QB in high school (not sure about college) tell me that the best QBs read the defense by knowing where everyone will be when the ball is to arrive--not where they are.  I think his QB at the time was Humphries.  He said that Humphries would throw the ball into coverage before the cuts etc.  because he understood DB momentum, zone areas, etc.  and he could just see it.  Said so when people say nobody was open, they are usually right because nobody should be "open" when the QB has the ball--when the ball arrives, everyone should be open.  He said Humphries was never "great" but his skills were limited--from a small school--but his ability to read a defense made him never give up on a route.
