There's a small difference between getting hit and taking an NFL-level hit. I'd wager none of us have ever took an NFL hit. 3 minutes ago, Shanedorf said: How can you be the Leader of a TEAM when you always put your own "safety" first ? Let's recalibrate here - is Teddy Bridgewater the "leader of this team", on a one year deal that was intended to be the fire under Drew Lock? Remember, he wasn't brought in to be the starter, and his continued presence on Denver is FAR from guaranteed (in fact, I'm willing to guarantee he's playing for someone else next season). If this was a situation where there is something beyond the next seven games, I'd buy this. But no, Teddy Bridgewater is a hired gun at best right now. Just because he plays QB doesn't naturally put him in that leadership spot. Traditionally, it's a spot reserved for a QB - but nothing about his presence on the Broncos says he's a leader. 6 minutes ago, Shanedorf said: This all started with pretty boy Deion and his business decisions and you people were all fine with it. Wait... I'm fine with what now? How do you extrapolate that out of what I said? Please, do tell. 1 minute ago, THE DUKE said: Ehhhhhhhhhhh, the Super Bowl is where caution gets thrown to the win and you have to dive on that ball. He's never going to live that play down. Week 7, I have no problem with Cam not diving into a pile, but you have to know the stage you are on and that was the biggest of stages. I'm not absolving him of that play, so I agree.

DontTazeMeBro Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 He should be benched. That’s pathetic. Safeties at least five at Derrick Henry’s feet. Do something. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has a much bigger chance of injuring a leg standing in the pocket than attempting an open field tackle. No one is injuring legs like that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teddy nearly lost his leg in a non-contact injury on the crappy new turf in Minny. The same turf that cost several other players their livelihood because it was poorly installed and not properly broken in. Players said it was like playing on a bouncy sponge and it effed up their legs. Yet we continue to let football players ( and QBs ) play on that turf. Why ? If we're so worried about QB injury, then why are we OK with turf monsters taking these guys out ? His injury had nothing to do with making a tackle or taking a physical hit. If that prior injury prevents him from playing "football", then he should just retire. Otherwise, grow a pair and help your team with a minor amount of effort and risk. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jameson_Neat Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 (edited) If there's a small chance you could tank your entire career by doing so, then how many of you are trying your damnedest to save a project that is DOA? It's easy to point fingers when it isn't your earning potential on the line. Edited November 16, 2021 by BofaDeez54927 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jakuvious Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 Honest question here, why even pretend? I feel like it looks worse not just because he didn't go for it, but because he kind of motioned like he was half-trying and then gave up. Like, if the team doesn't want the QB to go for that kind of thing, I can get it (I know KC wouldn't want Mahomes to), but then GTFO of the way. This, to me, felt like he knew he should go for it but didn't want to, and I feel that somehow makes it worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jlowe22 Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 I don't really mind it. The way he faked made it look bad, but I completely understand the decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
