How much of this was just wanting to get rid of bridgewater?

TB IMO set up his own exit after the MIN game and blaming a call coming in late as the reason he missed a wide open receiver directly in front of his face. 

Then trying to dive over the pile in GB only to fumble, and the 4th and 9 in the final moments of a game where he just checks it down to a 2 yard drag. 

There's several examples, IMO they bought into the Saints hype, he looked better on a better team, I dunno who was responsible for the money, but if you're paying a guy that much they need to at times be the reason you win; especially at QB. 

He's a game manager with below avg arm talent -- Darnold has the potential to be more with + arm talent, this is a step in the right direction, but I don't think it's viewed as the answer long term either.

Not winning in the NFL is a lot worse than not winning at Baylor. The desperation reeks and it was an eerily similar move to the Cam & Teddy debacle last year. We overpaid in draft capital this year vs overpaying in cap last year. Both are long shot guys who have enough film in the NFL to raise legitimate and loud concerns. Both look to end with us getting no value from the outgoing QB and there still is not a good option to start on the roster yet. Neither was particularly handled well either.

There isn’t a lot of risk in trading for Sam. His upside is 1000 times higher than Teddys was with us. At the most we lose a second next season, but depending on how the season plays out, it might be closer to a third. 
 

To me it’s a win/win with what we were working with. We all would have loved to be drafting at 3 to grab Fields, but that ship sailed, and we made the best situation out of a tough season. If Sam doesn’t get better, we move along next season and only lost a second. If he does work out, we got a franchise QB for virtually nothing in comparison to what others are giving up. 
 

A very young defense has a year under its belt, upgrade CB and OL in the draft, and CMC is completely healthy. Let’s see what happens.

Curious move at best. Excited for the draft still to see how things shake out. Wonder at what point they do straight up cut teddy, do we get any relief this year if that's the route? Highly doubt we can even move him unless they do some voodoo with his contract beforehand.

The burned the Teddy "bridge" when they were going to trade him to Detroit for Stafford. There was no coming back from that

That bridge was burnt when the guy writing the pay checks came out and trashed Teddy..

Given Rhule's talk of winning culture I assume they'd look to unseat a player who had failed so notably for nearly an entire season. No surprise if he felt they had to do 'something' even if we pretend the comments didn't happen.

Teddy doesn't care.

Teddy's a big-boy playing in a big-boy league and what you are referencing literally amounts to nothing as compared to adversity he has faced in the past.

Teddy is the Consumate Professional...

...true pro's don't let "hurt feelings" stand between them and fulfilling the terms of their contract.

As long as the checks clear Teddy gives zero f***s about what the guy writing them says...

If Teddy was such a big boy he wouldn't have done the little girl move of changing his social media.. Making a scene out of him not following the team anymore... And he would be with Will Grier trying to get better with his weapons...  He has gone ghost pretty much this whole offseason.. Just because you're paying a player doesn't mean they will give you their best effort..

      Serious Thoughts Fellas What numbers would Bryce..

      By Icege · Posted

      Agreed. A healthy bit from column A (stats) and column B (film) paints the most accurate picture, which is currently that Bryce is not performing up to the standard a 1st round QB (let alone drafted #1 overall) is expected to (statistically). When we dig into the film to see why, we see that while he's having his struggles (not stepping up in the pocket, bailing out early, hesitating on some throws, making occasional bad reads, etc) the team that surrounded him last season was simply awful. Bottom 5 defense, bottom 5 OL, bottom 5 weapons... but somehow one player has to overcome ALL of that in their rookie season? Yeesh... Taking this season into consideration, he started where he left off last season and was rightfully benched. Since starting again, the team has gotten on its first winning streak in a few years and he's made good plays to keep them in the game. Is he lighting it up? Nah... but he is beginning to show the reason so many draftniks had him as QB1a for his class. Re: what the team does next season... who friggin knows anymore at this point T_T. Resign Dalton? Sign Jones? Draft somebody in the mid-to-late rounds? Go with another UFA? Maybe grab an FA that can compete with Bryce for the starting position and draft a rookie to sit and develop? Might be best of both worlds for the team, but ugh... not a fun position to still be in with question marks throughout the position group.

      Yeah, this is basically the same as asking, "What if Bryce Young suddenly had Patrick Mahomes brain, how would he do?" It isn't happening. This ship is beyond sailed. Send him somewhere else, let us move on and him move on.

      Dalton is too close to starting right now. If it hadn't been for a car accident, he still would be. Switching Dalton for Jones does nothing except reduce the backup's age by a decade. One is in his NFL prime, the other is almost in his NFL grave. Not a horrible move if you're trying to improve the team. We've got to get better as a team and a lateral move like that would improve the team. The problem isn't that he's close to starting. The problem is we have a GM that signed off on BY and didn't bring in any serious QB competition for camp, a HC that said yeah, he's my guy until BY poo the bed so bad he couldn't start him, and an offense that's limited because BY can't make all the throws a normal NFL QB can.  The problem isn't that Jones could be an improvement as a backup QB. The problem is he could be better than our "franchise" QB.
