Is Teddy a Checkdown QB?

this is abysmal

[Mr. Scot]

That's within the system, though.

Playing in our offense, you kind of expect that.

Where does that rank in the NFL for starting QB’s?

I think it is the Teddy effect. 

Andy Reid's system is essentially what it is.  He got rid of Alex Smith because Alex Smith wouldn't pull the trigger on enough plays.  He neutered Reid's offense.  That is what Teddy is doing to Joe Brady's offense.  Limiting it.

I would have to crunch every NFL QB's stats. That would take me a couple of days.

nobody needs you to do that. anyone with eyes can see that Bridgewater is not an NFL starter.

THIS. My God I just don't get it. Why do we have to keep blaming coaches for Teddy's inadequacies?

I might compare them to his stats in New Orleans. That should be a decent sample in a similar offense.

We're a fan base that has cried foul that Brees pads stats with his dink and dunk playing style (and lots of YAC) - on his way to like an .800 record against us. 

I used to be baffled about it, now I just accept that some people will never learn.

Is this not the Payton offense?  This offense is designed to run confusing routes and though a lot of underneath stuff comes open, a lot of stuff opens up down field too.  We leave so many points out there week after week.  You have to see it dude.

It's literally Sean Payton's offence. Literally.

Exactly.  We see Samuel and DJ running free week after week.  Shite is Dis-heart-e-ning!!! But hey if this nets us our next franchise QB its whatever.

Teddy is their guy though....they chose to go out and get him in FA when his "inadequacies" were pretty well-documented.  I don't see how you can not blame the coaches who looked at hours and hours of tape of Teddy's entire career and thought "Yep, THAT'S our guy! Marty, bust out the checkbook".  He is who we thought he was, right?  Well Brady and Rhule were apparently the only two people who didn't know about Teddy's limitations.

Imagine being a supervisor at an office job and hiring your buddy who just got fired from his last job for slacking off.  You vouch for him to your manager and say "Boss, this is absolutely the guy for the job" and lo and behold, your team's numbers take a huge nosedive cause this dude is just deadweight, constantly slacking off.  Then you actually have the nerve to go to your manager and blame that employee when you went out of your way to bring him in and he ends up doing exactly what he has always done.  That ain't how the real world works, dude.
