Are The A-Train and myself the other two? No wonder you reached out to us. Reignman has said this board is filled with Teddy lovers though. Are there a ton of PP members that love Teddy but simply don't feel the need to post about him anymore?

I don't like it either, that there are still 3 people who deny reality and those of us who don't, still enjoy when one of us slaps a little more of it in your faces xD. Never gets old.

You spelled facts wrong. And I might be sarcastic, but don't get salty just because I knock your feelings based myths out of the yard every other day like you're serving up softballs.

Oh wow, is that why he stopped coming around lol? That makes him a snowflake. I imagine it's frustrating when you gotta try to defend something and only have your feelings. Those of us who aren't Teddy apologists are sitting on a mountain of evidence, so it's rather easy to bag on him all the time. Special Ted, cuz he's special.

But don't you worry cupcake, maybe soon we'll have to move on and focus our attention on another QB who can't get it done. We all hopped off the Ponder trash train when Teddy came along, so that's all it takes. Bring on the next scrub.

I have no idea why he stopped coming around, but this is how you respond? Seriously? @oj was a great poster and you know it. He did film study and everything else for us. Very knowledgeable. He's missed.

Wow, where to begin unpacking this?

I clearly said somebody may want to solidify their BACKUP QB spot.  I can state, without feeling any hypocrisy, that Teddy Bridgewater lies somewhere between being the 32nd to the 64th best QB in the NFL.  Is he better than Jacoby Brisset?  No, so he shouldn't start for the Colts.  Is he better than Mason Rudolph?  Possibly.  Of the two people in this conversation, one of whom IS a Teddy Bridgewater fan, and one of whom isn't, it seems to be the one who IS who insists Teddy Bridgewater can't win in the NFL. 


After all, Miami would suck with him.  Miami would suck with Dan Marino you say.  Well, Miami never did suck with Dan Marino, but there were seasons they were decidedly mediocre...but even in those season (1999 excluded), Dan Marino was still Dan Marino.  He was good.  Archie Manning spent a decade playing for the worst franchise in NFL history before the Bucs came along.  Everyone still realized he was pretty good QB even if his teams record and his stats (sound familiar)  reflected that.  Is Teddy Bridgewater not good enough to do the same?  If you can play, whether your team is good or bad, you should be able to show it.  John Elway never won at Stanford, because his team wasn't great.  But he was, and everyone could see it.  So, do I have more confidence in Teddy Bridgewater than you?  And trading Tunsil isn't going to happen, and trading Still has more to do with calling the owner out for his hypocrisy than any franchise philosophy involving tanking or not.  All I have ever stated is that Bridgewater really believed in himself and his skills?  Why not take the challenge.  Prove how good you are.  Make Miami keep you as their QBOTF instead of Tanking For Tua.  He didn't, he believed it was safer or better to stay in New Orleans and learn from Drew Brees.  

Which brings us to...wow, way to misconstrue and twist everything every said about reasons to keep Mannion over Sloter.  Cousins isn't new to this system, it's very much like what he played under in Washington.  Mannion isn't new to this system, he played in something very similar in LA.  Mannion and Cousins will see the same things, Mannion can be a sounding board for Cousins.  Teddy could be the same for Brees.  Sloter? 
"Hey Kyle, what to you think of this set?" 

"I think I'd roll out to the left and gun it to Treadwell, who will be completely uncovered just like against Seattle!" 

"Treadwell doesn't play here anymore, and this isn't the local Kwik Trip clerk trying to cover Stefon, it's former Pro Bowler Desmond Trufant." 

And Mannion may learn something from Cousins...but he has one career start and 50 career attempts.  Way more than Sloter, but hardly a grizzled vet who has seen and done it all.  Has been a backup, is a backup, will likely always be a backup.  You are saying Bridgewater is a future starter in this league, with 29 career starts and nearly 900 pass attempts.  Brees shouldn't have to teach that type of guy anything.  All Bridgewater should learn from watching Brees is how far from being elite as an NFL QB he is. 

It was a post by Purple Pain reposting from somewhere else saying Teddy had the "IT" (capital IT, no less) factor and "the ability to win games" that Boss initially responded to.
