It’s going to take awhile longer for the masses to consciously affirm that Teddy is a top shelf QB...

Only Teddy can do that.  It's a long season but he's looking good so far.

[Chief Keek]

I'm still withholding the crown, the standard for franchise QB is high. If Teddy can make a good playoff run and remains consistent throughout the season, I'll give him his credit.

Right now he's playing like he could be the franchise guy but I want to see if he keeps up the pace.

People get hung up on arm strength.  Let's not forget a guy who led his team to four Super Bowls and did not exactly have a howitzer hanging from his shoulder.  What was his name again...Idaho?  Wyoming?  It was one of those big sky states. 

Poise, accuracy (not just completion percentage, but where the ball is placed for the receivers), and the ability to read and anticipate mean a lot at the position.

Running similar offensive concepts to what we run now...

Yep. Honestly if our D continues to play as well as it is currently, I want to see us qualify for the playoffs and compete. We don't necessarily have to win a playoff game, but I want to see us go and look like we belong and for him to play well in that environment before I'm sold on Teddy allowing us to compete for a SB.

Look, Cam is not coming back, ever. We are also not getting Trevor Lawrence or Justin Fields ... or even that dude from South Dakota (or is it North). Embrace TB or just lump yourself in the same "cesspool" that were labled as "Cam Haters". You are making zero points by trying to discredit or downplay TB. I mean, what could possibly be your endgame?

Pure hate right here, pure hate indeed.

honestly who is doing that? in all seriousness and satire aside i really havent seen anyone legitimately saying teddy is a bad player.

edit: and i don't think calling him a stopgap is the same as an insult given the metric for success is an unequivocal franchise guy

If you're genuinely curious, I'm more than happy to send a PM your way with links to various posts from a couple of different users. I'll have to take a second to compile ofc (burden of proof and all that), but some of the more egregious folks won't be hard to point out. To me, there's satire and then there's a clear axe to grind (and in some cases, grinding was declared ). 

I'm also super straight on blowing up a bunch of folks' notifications with quoted posts and ignoring the ones I get in return when I wake up in the morning to release all of the concentrated evil brewing in me.

Kyle also had 25 fumbles abs zero pocket awareness.  Zero comparison

He had lost 4 fumbles at this point. Teddy has 3 INTs, so the overall turnover count at this point is very comparable.

*Oh wait, it's actually identical. Teddy has lost a fumble too. 4 turnovers apiece through their first five games.

I would say KA's best game was better than Teddy's best, by a considerable margin, but so far Teddy has been more consistent in his first 5 games here and shown more reason to hope that this isn't a fluke.  Then again, I also think KA is not as bad as his lows showed for us, so :P

The reality is that many are still trying to defend their adamant remarks that Teddy was a bad signing and not a very good QB. 
 

I wanted us to keep Cam and let him play out his last year.  I thought if he stayed healthy we could resign him and not draft a QB and if he couldn’t stay healthy we would be in prime position for Lawrence or Fields.

But when we cut him and signed Teddy, I was very supportive of it. I said Teddy for Brady’s offense was much better than Cam. I think that’s pretty obvious now, though at the time I was called a Cam hater and it was even implied I was a racist despite the fact I supported Teddy and wanted to keep Cam... odd isn’t it?

Even last week posters were mouthing back at me that Teddy could absolutely not be a franchise QB and I even said that I was unsure he was the future. But in this system we don’t need a Mahomes to win a SB. Teddy is putting up incredible numbers with a brand new staff. Imagine our offense right now with a defense that resembles the 49ers last year. That team probably wins the SB. So this whole argument that Teddy can’t do it in today’s NFL is frankly nonsense.

Jimmy G was about 10 minutes from beating the Chiefs. I’ll take Teddy and this offense over that one any day of the week. All the “he doesn’t have the tools to win in today’s game” are just lazy excuses to save face that some absolutely could not stand Teddy. 
 

He is 100% proving he can get it done. Not only that but this team is honestly not far off from being 4-1 or even 5-0. This defense was a joke last year but is improving every week. Lots of crow to be had for lots of people...

Like when Cam jumped out of the gate with 400 yard performances then never did it again and never won a Super Bowl? I was hoping for him to accomplish my goals but he just fumbled away my life's dream of watching other people win something.

Get help.
