Teddy Bridgewater: Panthers may have panicked late against Vikings

Cam would’ve taken full responsibility if he missed that throw.

seems like made up twitter talk.   

they won.  As Belichick said, Cam threw for 350 the week prior.    

seems like BB is just talking how he talks when asked the same question over and over.  Cam will start until they are mathematically eliminated from the playoffs.   Then maybe, BB looks at the other guy for reps.    We've seen Cam's backup when he had COVID.  He is worse. 

*Cam also came off the field after the win and apologized to his OC for his play on camera.  #accountablity

Trying to figure out what Belichick might be saying is probably a regular pastime up in New England.

I'm pretty sure if you looked hard enough, you could probably find something in Belichick's words that hinted he was involved in the Kennedy assassination.

You come out and say I have to make that throw. That's it, or take that damn captains patch off of your jersey.

Exactly,

Cam after the game Sunday 

"I'll be the first person to say I didn't play my best game yesterday,” Newton said on Monday morning during his weekly interview with WEEI Radio. “But let's be totally clear: I don't play this game for statistic benefits. I don't play this game for any type of individual accolades. I play this game to win. I'm not going to apologize for winning. I don’t care how we won and I would take a win in most cases this year rather than having the three and four hundred yards passing. In my opinion, did I do enough to win in those games? Who cares? I am not going to go back and turn the page and what transpired yesterday was just a result of a great team win that I am not going to feel sorry for. It is what it is."

Seriously, our starting QB just admitted that he would've checked out of a play that got a WR wide open in the endzone to get into a running play with the game on the line. Hell, maybe this is why the play calls are coming in so late. Maybe the staff knows Teddy will check into the safest possible option of given the time to do so. They may have more faith in Teddy than he has in himself. 

He admitted he would have read the defense after a motion in an attempt to to set up a favorable run play. Which it appears the staff wanted all along but there was only 13 seconds left.

Which as the article states would’ve cost the Vikings 40 seconds 

Your really should tone down your emotion and look at it from a more objective stand point. 10/10 you run the ball in the situation, burn 40 seconds and still come away with points giving the Vikings, or any team little chance to come back.

Yes it’s a big problem TB missed an easy pass and it’s equally a big problem the correct strategic play, no matter the QB, failed to come to fruition because of ‘panic’, or inability to get the call to the line.

As far as why the play came in so late no one really knows.

Also no one cares what Cam would’ve said. Cam sucks and TB sucks. Just because they admit they suck doesn’t change their play on the field. Time to move on and find the future.

Related: A couple of Twitter sites were buzzing that Belichick might have hinted at benching Newton.

Not buying it based on what I saw, but I suppose it's possible.

May as well let a young guy take over for the rest of the season, just like people want us to do here.

No, you don't understand. Not even close.

Part of the problem is that you and a couple of others are taking it as if it was meant to say this was the only thing wrong with Bridgewater.

That was never the case.

The premise, laid out as simply as possible is this: For whatever you think of his overall ability Bridgewater was more accurate, quicker with his reads, better at scrambling and a few other things early in the season than he is now.

That's not an excuse, it doesn't paint him in a good light and it doesn't minimize his problems. It's just an analysis of where he's at compared from early in the season to now, and it doesn't preclude there being other factors contributing to his regression.

I'd frame it as simply as this: Was the guy you saw yesterday the same guy that you saw in the first few games?

To answer that with a yes would be delusional, but I know there are some who will because that's their thing.

But the answer is no, and the wear and tear of the season is one of the reasons.

Not the only reason, but a reason.

LOL.

How is a QB fatigued from screens and checkdowns? Imagine if Teddy had to actually be athletic?

Honestly Mr. Scot, have you ever lost an argument in your life?

You literally dismiss any fact brought to the table.  Your argument boils down to, "agree with me, and if you don't agree with me, then I know you don't know what you are watching."

Teddy has more TDs in his last 5 games than he did in his first 6.  He has fewer picks.  Higher QB rating.  About the same CMP%.  Offense is about the same productivity wise.  That's our argument for Teddy being the same guy now as he was in Week 1.  What's your argument against that, other than your own speculation?

I mean give us something based in reality.  Something quantifiable.  Just give us something.  What about Teddy is worse now than it was in Week 1?  He's missed passes deep all year.  His pocket presence has been shaky all year.  He runs the ball about the same.  He still makes boneheaded passes into coverage (coulda been picked off multiple times in Arizona game). He's the same mediocre Teddy.  But we're delusional.  So give us something in reality that shows how Teddy is so much worse now than he was in Week 1, to the point where if we disagree with that, we're delusional.  

Got eeeeem

Sounds like the topic did get discussed inside the building last night... 

 

Who cares about what he said today? The damage is done. He’s a joke.

If that's the case we really need to start PJ.

Welcome all ye newcomers to the "Teddy was never the guy" bandwagon.  Enjoy your ride, and pray he doesn't last as our starter beyond Week 3 of next season.

Well that went sideways.
