Young Theodore Bridgewater

[Mothman]

No s### Cam and Cutler have had "multiple" better seasons than Teddy. Teddy hasn't even played a full season so obviously they would have better seasons.

I stand by my word and would be unbelievably furious if Cam or Cutler were the Vikings right now. So think what you want, but I've never liked either of them. Why would I be "singing a different tune"??? That idiot Cutler can't succeed with Jeffery, Marshall, Bennett, Forte, and usually a good defense so what does that tell you?? He sucks. As for Newton, he's the typical college QB that doesn't have what it takes to be a legitimate NFL QB. He relies on his legs but has some of the worst accuracy and mechanics I have ever seen. Guys on here b#### and complain about Teddy's accuracy yet he has the 2nd best completion percentage ever right now for a rookie. Oh and Newtons is pretty horrid. So no, I'd be singing the same damn tune I'm singing right now

Please tone it down. You can make your points without the expletives.

I don't think that's right, but his completion percentage is still very impressive!

It IS impressive and you're right, that wouldn't rank him second all-time among NFL rookies. Just a few years ago, in 2012, RGIII had a completion percentage of 65.6% in his rookie season. Russell Wilson completed 64.1% in his rookie year (also 2012).

Andrew Krammer needs to look before he leaps.

Let's hope Teddy keeps it up. But really? After 10 starts your going to say you'd take him over guys who've had multiple seasons better than what Teddy is currently doing? That might be going a bit far. Especially after last game, when he was one of the bigger factors contributing to the loss.

But then, the grass is always greener...we had people defending Ponder just this season.

OK Mr. smarty pants , Forget contracts. Who would you make a one for one swap with Bridgewater at this moment? Remember, you get everything that comes with it, attitude, work ethic, injuries, age, everything.

Cam Newton??!!! Not a chance I would take him over Teddy. Others I wouldn't take are probably Romo. It's a toss up with Flacco and Stafford.....but Newton??? No way in hell. Another running QB that has awful mechanics and relies on his legs. Oh and the fact that his accuracy is dreadful. Some say Teddys is bad.....Cams is 2 times worse

I admit I don't watch Cam very closely, but the times that I did see him play, I've been very impressed. Again, that was my list. I'm sure some would also take Ben but I can't stand the guy.

Man after looking at that list, I only have like 4-5

Cutler is a massively over-priced, under-talented, spoiled #### who would be nothing but a locker-room cancer. He has had seven coaches ALL fail to "fix" him. He has poor mechanics, poor decision making skills, poor vision, and flat out refuses to lead his team. The Vikes have NEVER been able to train up a your talented QB (wel, maybe Culpepper) so what makes you think they can even remotely fix a screwed up veteran QB who hasnt ever accomplished anything meaningful in his career? The Broncos are busy laughing every day they watch the Bears. Orton, a career journeyman, has accomplished far more then Cutler while playing in Buffalo with nowhere near the same talent around him. The words Cutler and Viking should NEVER be uttered together. EVER

My thing with Cam is I don't see anything in him other than being a big athletic guy that can carry the football. That's really it. He doesn't do a good job stepping up into the pocket and delivering like Teddy does. Cam throws off his backfoot a lot and in turn, has some pretty horrible accuracy. The days of the running QB (if they even existed) are quickly fading away which is why I'm so happy we have a pure pocket passer in Teddy. If you think about it, most running QBs have pretty poor throwing mechanics, struggle to stick in the pocket, and struggle to win (RGIII, Cam, Kap, Manziel, Vick). The only one that is somewhat decent is Wilson. Just about everyone of those QBs have a worse completion percentage than Teddy. Teddy actually ranks 14th in the league for completion percentage. Yet some still get on him for his accuracy "issues".

Listen to who is below Teddy in this category:
Andy Dalton
Eli Manning
Ryan Fitzpatrick
Carson Palmer
Russell Wilson
Matthew Stafford
Andrew Luck
Blake Bortles
Colin Kaepernick
Derek Carr
Cam Newton
Geno Smith
Josh McCown

I don't here many complaining about Luck, Wilson and Stafford's accuracy

Either way, that is a big reason I wouldnt want Cam on this team. He's sitting in the bottom of the barrel in a lot of categories and my guess is, he won't be rising up any time in the near future

I don't here many complaining about Luck, Wilson and Stafford's accuracy

That's probably because it's not a Colts, Seahawks or Lions board.

I just realized I spelled "hear" here lol whoops. I'm not saying complaining on here. I'm just saying in general. You don't see anyone ever mention it. Analysts on TV, Internet, etc. have mentioned Teddy's accuracy "issues" but never mentioned those QBs

Never? That's simply not true. I've heard Stafford's accuracy, in particular, criticized many, many times over the years. I rarely watch the Seahawks so I can't comment on that but just within the past two weeks, I heard a broadcaster criticizing Luck for making inaccurate throws.

I don't understand why you seem so bothered by people commenting on Teddy's accuracy issues when he's obviously had some accuracy issues.

I'm just saying, he's posting one of the better completion percentages ever as a rookie. That means he's being fairly accurate. He's obviously had his bad throws but let's lighten up a bit here

Well, as I've said before, accuracy and completion percentage aren't the same thing, although they're certainly related and I would agree that overall, he's been relatively accurate. That said, what reason is there to 'lighten up"? Where is Bridgewater being heavily or excessively criticized for the issues he's had with accuracy?

That's been one of the main things being talked about regarding Bridgewater

I'm not trying to be difficult. I'm just not seeing it.
