Maybe Teddy Bridgewater wasn’t that bad….

I'm gonna sit here sipping my "I was content w/ Teddy" tea knowing full well this entire board was having an aneurism at the idea of him starting another game.

Truth is tho even I was wrong at the time, dude could not go deep. And without Curt? It wouldnt have been pretty.

Curt and Mike Davis were just as important to 2020's 'success' on offense.

Bridgewater games always went to the wire and to a field goal we would always miss. People love to poo on him here in this sub but the games were actually exciting to watch and we could actually move the ball. He played behind a putrid O-Line and was always running for his life.  I guarantee if he was on the team today, we would be leading our division. 

Think of all the draft picks and cap we would have saved if we had just stuck with him instead of making him the sacrificial lamb.

We lost a 2nd round pick and paid Darnold 20 million to ride the bench lmao

Say what you want about swinging and missing on Teddy, Darnold and Baker,  a positive about this team is they will not be content on QB's and keep swinging. 

except they don’t know how to hold a bat and are facing the wrong way

Bridgewater wasn't anything special.

What he was though was right about Matt Rhule.

Most of us didn't believe him because we thought what he was saying sounded ridiculous, and it was.

Unfortunately, it was also the truth.

And for that crime he had to be banished.  We really showed him.  I'll bet Rhule pulled his scholarship, too.

That whole escapade was when I started to think Rhule was a dead end.

He was terrible at that job. He definitely lost games. Every time the game was close late he crapped the bed. 

I expected him to make mistakes, but that I recall the team was in every single game.  Listen I'm not calling the guy Peyton Manning.  I think he was average, and for a team that realistically at best could get a spark to make the playoffs, sometimes an average QB that won't consistently play crappy is all you need.

Yeah, but the games were at least fun to watch even though we would end up losing. It would always come down to last minute drive that would end in a missed field goal or Teddy trying to make a play that would lead to an interception. In the last 2 seasons, has anyone even had a chance to lead a game winning touchdown or field goal? Only one I can think of is the Atlanta game this year.

They were never going to replicate that first season even if Teddy were allowed to stay here.

Rhule had his shot to draft a qb twice and chose to get his people to fix someone else's draft busts.

      We looked like a competent NFL team PIE thread

      By Prowler2k18 · Posted

      We could easily pick apart yesterday’s game: dropped passes, blown coverages, bad tackling and red zone issues to name a few. But it was clear that this wasn’t the same team from earlier in the season. They fought back and hung with the champs until the end. That’s what I was excited to see and it gives me hope that we’re on the right track.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By Pejorative Miscreant · Posted

      I think BY played well today and exceeded expectations. I will temper future expectations as he has to string together many games of consistent quality. One game doesn’t convince me that he is a franchise QB or even a guy you want to stick with for another season. One game doesn’t erase all the negative play and limitations from the past couple of years. I hope he balls out and continues to get better but for me the verdict is still out   That said, I think he gave the team and fans hope yesterday which is a lot more than what we had when we woke up Sunday morning.

      Bryce Young - Good and Bad, what say you?

      By Ricky Prickles · Posted

      He was vastly improved today and we need to see more of Bryce the rest of the season to continue evaluate him in order to decide what the heck to do with him at the end of the season. He must play at least like this and improve more from here the rest of the season in order for me to keep him. No more 123 yard passing games and want to see at least this output weekly from him. If this is Bruce improving slowly over time then Canales is even better with developing QB's than I thought he was but still too early to tell and we need to see him the rest of the way as he has at very least earned back the starting gig moving forward.
