Maybe Teddy Bridgewater wasn’t that bad….

[Rags]

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

Had he had the Oline we have now, he may have been a bit better actually. People LOVE to put all the blame on the QB when he sucks, and none of the blame on the QB when he's a superstar. Elite teams have very little weakpoints. The Panthers have always had multiple weakpoints almost every season.

Teddy was the most selfish QB Ive ever seen as far as only caring about his numbers. Which also contributed to him being the most pussy QB Ive seen by not taking shots downfield.

I think carolina was 1-7 in one score games with teddy....

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.

I knew we were in trouble when I heard the size of the contract they gave him. It was all down hill from there.

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.
