Both are 3-0 on new teams. Took solid defensive minded teams and helped elevate their offense to 3-0 records. This isn’t a stat comparison thread but a discussion based on the obvious. Everyone is waiting for Monday’s power rankings and where each team will sit, just for arguments sake. Since we all know power rankings are biased horse poo like the pro bowl. The real conversation I want to start is which QB benefited most from their first 3 opponents. Looking over the schedules I will say both weren’t full of world beating teams but I’d say the Saints are a decent amount better than either the Jags or the Giants. We both annihilated the Jets.  The Texans have a better defense than people want to give them credit for whom also beat the Jags handily. So to make a long winded post short, we have the better 3-0 because of SOS. This should be interesting to look at another 3 week down the line. Just because the media will continue to compare situations, because of the obvious.

Teddy is a game manager, he will get better completion percentage because he checks down a lot. Defense were never scared of us beating them over the top. 

I did not watch his game today but saw some of game two and highlights from week 1.  He is definitely taking the "Check-down Teddy" to heart and sending targets downfield.  Not stretching the field but making some good throws on slants and outs.  I don't have a problem giving him some credit for Denver's success.  Both Teddy and the Panthers are in better places this season.

We are 0-3 with Teddy as our QB guaranteed. Brady draws up his plays to always have a safety valve. Darnold notices this but yet still takes the longer throw when its there. Teddy would 100% always take the underneath pass. The difference betweeen Darnold and Teddy is the difference between wanting to win vs protecting your completion percentage.

darnold can threaten the defense and stretch the field in ways teddeh cannot

It's honestly not even a comparison - and I have a Denver Broncos supporting friend who's desperate to rub it in about how great Bridgewater is doing and what a steal it was.

I call him Toxic Teddy in every reply (which irritates the fug out of him). We HAD to move on from Bridgewater from a culture standpoint - it's night and day how he and Darnold carry themselves. 

Not to mention Darnold has made a dozen throws already this season that Bridgewater is physically incapable of making - which is why he doesn't attempt them.

Right now Bridgewater is doing what he always does - keeps the offence in rhythm and ticking between the 20s. He's the same guy he's always been and will continue to struggle when playing from behind and asked to win the game.

      Our defense hasn't been elite. That doesn't mean that an individual player hasn't been. All an elite CB can do for your defense is greatly limit the other team's best receiver or greatly limit the passing success to his side of the field if he's a zone guy. There's still a lot of opportunity for the opposing team elsewhere.  I'm not saying he's a Luke or a Peppers. He's not. But I think he's a top 10 CB when healthy. I consider a top 10 CB to be elite. If you have a different definition, that's fine. I'm not gonna really argue where we draw that line or even if you think Horn is saying top 15 instead of top 10. Again, fine. Not really gonna argue that either. All I'm really trying to argue is that Horn is pretty damn good when he's on the field.

      I'm not saying there's not a place for him here. I'm saying we massively overpaid for his skill set in today's NFL. Both statements can absolutely be true.

      Has he truly been elite? I don’t recall our defense ever looking good over Horn’s career. I mean, is there even a noticeable scoring difference when he’s healthy? We have always, always overrated our guys and it’s pretty damn rare we actually have a player like Luke that it’s true. I loved Cam and he was a monster at times but we (most of us) revere him for his special plays more than results. Outside of the special 2015, he won 1 playoff game against a 3rd string QB. Don’t get me wrong, Cam was unbelievable at times but he’s a great example of us overrating players. Just for shits and giggles, I checked points against. We gave up 25 ppg from 2021 to 2024. In Jaycee’s 37 games, we’ve give up 26 ppg. I’d say Brown is far more valuable as our points against went from mediocre to record breakingly bad.
