This is maybe the most dominant QB play I've seen us ever have

Teddy's strengths are the complete opposite of Jake's honestly.  But they both, to me, occupy the same type of QB "tier" of "good enough to get you places with a decent offense around them."  Whether those places include the superbowl depends on who you have around 'em.

It’s just my personal opinion but I think Smitty sort of ruined Jake. He got complacent with his game to the point where he got exposed when he couldn’t zip it in to force throws after tommy john surgery. His best year was in 04. That was some of the best QB play this franchise has seen.

There was a time when guys like Kevin Kolb and AJ Feeley looked like they could be something special.

It had a lot to do with who was running the offense they were playing in.

Again, I don't want to put Joe Brady in the Andy Reid category just yet, but it seems pretty clear to me that Bridgewater and Brady are a good combination, and that's not a bad thing.

Sometimes you just catch lightning in a bottle.

Jakes 2004 was pretty good.  A top 5 on the list of QB seasons for us for sure.  Sad way to start that year though.  Still remember that play... gah.

I agree with your intent but Alex Smith is a better example. Bridgewater has already had a better season in 5 games than those guys had in their careers.

Good point.

Not unless its underthrown, like I said. Learn to read.

This thread is about DOMINATE QB PLAY.

I have seen every QB have an underthrow. I did read, but you ain't really saying anything befitting of an NFL QB that is producing tremendously after his fourth game. Sure, he left a little meat on the bone today, but not like the franchise QB he was playing.

I love how Joe Brady is being brought up as if his coaching and system has any more influence on Teddy, than other OC's and their QB. 

Every OC is responsible for how well their starting QB ultimately performs.  

So let's stop sugar coating this. 

Teddy is an excellent QB, playing excellent football in his first year with Brady as his OC. 

Cam had a great '15 season, as did our OC at the time.

There are QBs that mask their OCs weaknesses, and there are OCs that mask their QBs weaknesses. The two are not mutually exclusive, but it is pretty clear from scheme & play design our current OC is leaps and bounds ahead of anything we've had for at least a decade, especially at maximizing the QB's strengths and minimizing his weaknesses.
