Klomp Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 When Bridgewater reclaims the starting job, which will happen sooner than later, he will make the Vikings a little more competitive and a lot more watchable. He may lack a bazooka arm or Russell Wilson-caliber scrambling ability. But Bridgewater has what the NFL needs right now: the ability to both operate within a system and color outside the lines a little. He has the potential to be a Watson-Wentz-Prescott-Goff, more than a Savage-Bradford-Whoever. (The jury is out on Hundley and Trubisky until the helicopter parenting ends.) If Bridgewater, who has a 17-11 mark as a starter, returns to play soon, the Week 11 Rams-Vikings game becomes destination television. Goff versus Bridgewater with the playoffs on the line in the home of this year's Super Bowl—let's see what type of ratings that generates. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2743122-teddy-bridgewater-is-a-much-needed-boost-for-an-nfl-plagued-by-injuries-bad-qbs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May as well let Teddy remain as the backup for the entire year if the coaching staff does not have the courage to risk losing a game over the decision. It's a gamble but one worth taking if there is improvement on offense. I wouldn't make the change unless I thought helped the team immediately. When Teddy gives the team a better chance to win, that's when I would start him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteelKing728 Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 Teddy definitely changed up his footwork. He now leads with his left leg in the Shotgun instead of his right. This is ideal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gopherwrestler Posted November 12, 2017 Author Share Posted November 12, 2017 On 11/9/2017 at 8:20 AM, JDBrocks said: If you read the article I posted on the last page, that is easily explained. The offense simply ran through Adrian when they got into the redzone. Teddy only threw 42 passes in the redzone. The Vikings were 3rd in the league in rushing TDs, and 7th in drive scoring percentage. I don't think 14 TDs is an indictment of Teddy as much as it is of the Norv Turner offense. Also along with those 14 TD’s don’t forget about his silly INT’s he would throw. If you say his TD’s increase with more attempts so does the chances for INT’s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDBrocks Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 Which silly INTs were those? an INT% of 2% isn't bad. It's better than Matt Ryan and Big Ben this year. And Teddy didn't have an Antonio Brown or a Julio Jones to pass to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rest weren't much different than what other QBs in the league throw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
