Teddy Bridgewater

[Webbfann]

He sure looked good tonight, looking forward to see him next week already.

I hope I GET TO SEE it next week. I've had enough PA for a lifetime now...

Incomplete kick my hiney....Paul Allen is an incomplete kick

That seriously made me LOL.

Lol yeah the incomplete FG. PA is getting on my nerves too. How bout when he had to explain to the viewers 10 minutes after the missed PAT, that it was in fact missed when he was the only person who didn't realize it was missed as it happened? What a doofus. I don't know, maybe he watched it from the booth and didn't have the proper angle, but come on.

Too busy trying to hide his chubby from Bercich after the Vikings scored...

He makes me think of Ted Scheckler out there. He had a hell of a career in CFL. Theodore "The Emporium" Scheckler.

You must have missed "Massel" and the "109 yard kick that was run back for a TD".

I did a better job of blocking him out tonight. I'm still trying to build my IQ back up from last week's disaster, so it was necessary.

I read your comments, though. I can tell you had a great time. I feel your pain.

In all fairness, PA is very descriptive, so I actually like his play-by-play. I've learned over the years of listening to guys like Johnny Most, Harry Caray, Hawk Harrelson, and John Sterling, that homerism is usually something that comes with the territory of listening to local broadcasting. There's just a something great about an announcer who says stupid ####, and who asks the worst questions, almost constantly.

So bad he's good?

This game is exactly what I expected to see from Teddy this year, maybe not week 2 of preseason but damn, he's already improved a massive amount. He even improved mid game learning where to position the ball (incomplete thrown inside for jerome simpson, then outside in the perfect spot for smith's GW TD)

And it really cannot be said enough how impressive it was that play after play he was blitzed and over and over he stood in the pocket, analyzed the field, read the defense, hung in there, and made a quick decisive decision with where to go with the ball. Put Ponder in the same situation and we've seen it time and time again, he just panics and gets sacked or throws a horrible ball to no one.

Being that effective against the blitz is a big part of what makes Aaron Rodgers so dangerous. Couldn't be more excited about Teddy's future! And how about our offensive coaches? They're doing a great job so far.

Truly a joy to watch. I flew in from Seattle yesterday and decided to go all out on tickets for yesterday (when in Rome) and it was well worth it. The last drive orchestrated by Teddy was exciting to see.

Joe Montana.

We've barely seen him play so why not aim high?

I know that comment was partly tongue-in-cheek, simply because we have hardly seen him play (and to a degree that is still true), but last night's game winning drive really did remind me of Joe Montana. His nickname wasn't "Joe Cool" for nothing. If Bridgewater can be that cool in a game that counts, he'll be taking a legitimate step to that kind of comparison. To be fair: it was a preseason game and there is not much riding on whether he can engineer the drive or not. But, since this is the only situation we can currently test him in (we'll have to wait for the regular season - and hopefully playoffs at some point in the future) it looks as "good as it can" at this point in terms of him handling pressure. Color me impressed....

Two-minute Teddy?

It works, but I'm old school, so I'd have a hard time not thinking we were stealing Kramer's moniker...

No, I know... but instead of stealing, I was thinking more along the lines of "honoring" his memory. Then again, I'm hoping Teddy turns out to be better than Tommy.
