Who do you want to start on Sunday at QB?

Yep. The first team I really noticed doing it was the Saints in crunch time. There we were out there with not much time left and us only needing a FG to tie. They still had their entire D within 10 yards of the LOS because they know Teddy. That drive managed 28 yards in 11 plays. Here's the full play by play:

 

1st & 10 at CAR 25
(7:55 - 4th) (Shotgun) T.Bridgewater pass short right to M.Davis pushed ob at CAR 32 for 7 yards (A.Anzalone). Pass 1, YAC 6

2nd & 3 at CAR 32
(7:16 - 4th) (Shotgun) T.Bridgewater pass short middle to R.Anderson to CAR 38 for 6 yards (C.Gardner-Johnson). Pass 3, YAC 3

1st & 10 at CAR 38
(6:30 - 4th) (Shotgun) T.Bridgewater pass short left to D.Moore to CAR 46 for 8 yards (M.Williams). Pass 4, YAC 4

2nd & 2 at CAR 46
(5:45 - 4th) M.Davis right guard to 50 for 4 yards (C.Jordan; M.Jenkins).

1st & 10 at 50
(5:01 - 4th) M.Hartsfield left end to NO 48 for 2 yards (S.Tuttle).

2nd & 8 at NO 48
(4:13 - 4th) (Shotgun) T.Bridgewater pass short left to C.Samuel to NO 43 for 5 yards (M.Jenkins). Pass -3, YAC 8

3rd & 3 at NO 43
(3:29 - 4th) (Shotgun) T.Bridgewater scrambles left end ran ob at NO 38 for 5 yards (S.Rankins).

1st & 10 at NO 38
(3:20 - 4th) (Shotgun) T.Bridgewater pass incomplete short right.

2nd & 10 at NO 38
(3:12 - 4th) (Shotgun) T.Bridgewater pass short left to M.Davis to NO 39 for -1 yards (D.Onyemata; M.Davenport). Pass -6, YAC 5

3rd & 11 at NO 39
(2:25 - 4th) (Shotgun) T.Bridgewater sacked at NO 47 for -8 yards (M.Davenport).

(2:00 - 4th) Two-Minute Warning

4th & 19 at NO 47
(2:00 - 4th) J.Slye 65 yard field goal is No Good, Short, Center-J.Jansen, Holder-J.Charlton.

 

Seriously. Just look at that. Teddy completed five passes for what combined for a total of -1 yards through the air. The furthest downfield he completed a pass was four yards. That is TRASH.

8 minutes is a lot of time to score 3+ points lol.  Too much time, even.  Dinking and dunking our way down the field on that drive was probably the smart play to get those 5-6 yard chunk plays while taking as much time off the clock as possible.  I'm sure we were trying to avoid giving the ball back to Brees for a possible game-winning drive considering we didn't force a single punt all game.  We had gotten within field goal range after taking almost 5 minutes off the clock so it was clearly working, until it didn't.  We imploded on the last set of downs but I'm not sure the takeaway from that is that Teddy wasn't throwing the ball downfield enough, especially given what happened on the sack.

Do I get frustrated with Teddy's dinking and dunking sometimes?  Yeah....especially as of late.  But that possession isn't really one to criticize him for IMO.  Saints were sending blitzes on many of those plays too and in the rare case they didn't, I actually see Teddy looking downfield for an open receiver.  An example of that was on his 5-yard scramble, where they only rushed 3 and the pocket still collapsed after about 3 seconds lol.

I get it, I just think it's an arrogant way to approach football. IMO, you can't assume the scores - either yours or theirs. You can't be so confident in your ability to score that you slow play your offense and you can't be so unconfident in your D that you eliminate a chunk of your offensive playbook to avoid scoring too quickly. I understand that it's a well accepted strategy, I just philosophically disagree with the approach.

Yeah, we need to be careful blaming this ALL on Teddy. Some of it is scheme and some of it is the same issue we have had forever, a dumpster fire of an OL.

Regarding Grier:

 

Regardless of who ends up starting (and objectively speaking I'm not sure we have a starter quality quarterback on the roster other than Bridgewater) this is good to hear.

Lack of this kind of philosophy kept Amini Silatolu starting for way too long. Thankfully, we've seen with Greg Little that this isn't the case anymore.

1. Teddy if Teddy can play. 

2.  PJ Walker

3.  Curtis Samuel wildcat game 

4.  Fake punt every offensive possession

5. maybe Will

* I care about being entertained.  These offer the most entertaining possibilities from a viewer perspective IMO. 

I care about winning.

I don't really give a sh-t how much fun a loss was to watch. It's still a loss.

    • It's really only been 2 games. The NO team was so bad their coach was fired after the game and Chuba and the defense carried the team to the win against NY. He's played better but I'm not willing to crown him QB god yet. I want to see more than 2 games or even the rest of the season. I want a full 3rd season with the occasional clunker because it happens to every QB, even the great ones. I just need more than what we've seen to this point. 
    • So you proceed to let me have it since I’m asking for it lmfao by saying we’re not talking about a random if….what in your head doesn’t click If statements are not realistic. If statements allow me to say anything and make it sound logical. “If” statements in this forum allow anyone without real statistical evidence or factual proof say anything will or can happen so speak directly to facts without these goofy azz if statements or accept all “if” statements. And to respond to your nonsense he had weapons he had protection. He had a rookie WR playing his first NFL game with Mingo and DJ as his other primary targets. How have either preformed since being traded let’s go deeper into that he had weapons. His top targets(week one) XL 7 targets DJ 6 targets Mingo 5 targets now the rookie has has about 8-9 games before Bryce’s return and we’ve seen XL develop some since the start of the season. And those other TOP weapons have a combined 3 catches in a combined 9 games since being traded. 5 for DJ 4 for Mingo these are the top targets your refer to as who he should have been shining with. Is it all on Bryce or these WRs being actual liabilities and not good players does that matter to you or should Bryce be able to elevate them? Do you really know football or is this my 12 yr old nephew spewing a childish mindset and asking us to accept it as serious football talk.  I’ve just seen the post from @Icege It’s sad after being shown actual facts you don’t know what you should be eating crow about buddy grow tf up. It’s ok to be wrong it doesn’t make you a bad guy you’re just wrong about Bryce . You said quote “Bryce can’t throw down field” do you still feel that way? You said a lot of nonsense that has now been proven wrong but we need to keep waiting right ok kool. I can agree with that we need more much more good play before we fully commit for next season, but to act like the progression being shown isn’t impressive as sht. We’re seeing Bryce play good while waiting on more consistency to crown em but you gotta get out of that dark place because living in denial is a bad place to reside.
    • Thielen is a free agent, isn't he? And regardless we need a younger version of him anyway. I see XL + Coker as our #1 and #2 with Palmer as the #3 in that scenario.
