Teddy experiment needs to be over

[mav1234]

Teddy's contract is a clear indication management wasn't convinced he was the answer either, so this has already been planned for.

I hope Teddy turns it around because he seems like a great guy, but as of now, hes serviceable and will keep us from being totally blown out, allowing us to evaluate our other players on offense and our system in general. But he's not going to be our franchise guy long term.

Cousins has been WAY better than Bradford ever was.

He's a pretender who puts up great stats in garbage time and meaningless games. Only time he's ever come up big in his entire life was against the Aints in the playoffs and they've got a recent track record of playoff chokes... Yes, he's better than Bradford, but he's also already earned over $200M which is just absolutely silly...

Oh, he's definitely overpaid but he provided way more ROI than Bradford ever did.

lol the shift to "well ackshually teddy does throw deep way more than his opponents and he does it well!"

weird that despite that he's 24th in the league in completed air yards per completion. hmm wonder what's going on there.

26th in the nfl in intended air yards per pass attempt

[GOOGLE JIM BOB COOTER]

but you don't need pro football reference to tell you that. just watch the games. like 80% of his throws are going 5 yards or less downfield. the completion percentage is high because those throws are easier to complete. go look at the next gen passing charts by week. it's wild how the distribution is gradually getting flatter and flatter.

Give Bradford credit. No one in the history of football has made more money for doing less on the field than Sam Bradford. Bradford is the 17th highest paid NFL player of all-time. LOL!

Its not in the same stratosphere but Mike Glennon has made out like a bandit not really doing anything at all in the NFL.  The Bears set him up for generations for starting a couple of games.

But, that's why he also has been blowing it late in games, regardless of pressure...  that's when he is forced to throw something other than a checkdown, and he can't or just isn't comfortable enough to.

Among non-QB positions, our very own Matt Kalil probably deserves a mention.

I never said he was the master. I said he has a history of 4th quarter comebacks.

Saw this on the Twitter. Felt it had relevance to this discussion.

So cam and teddy are both terrible in the 4th

And Aaron Rodgers, apparently. I love statistics, and analytics. But that seems to be a bit misleading.

Yeah, numbers are very misleading. It is preconceived notions with bias that are accurate.

So Aaron Rodgers is trash in the 4th quarter? Baker Mayfield is average in the 4th? And Drew Brees is mediocre in the 4th? And according to that, Jimmy G in the 4th quarter>Aaron Rodgers, Drew Brees, Russel Wilson. Got it. Yeah man. We all would take Baker Mayfield over Aaron Rodgers in the 4th quarter. These numbers seem to be a product of the team more than anything else.
