No doubt about the timing and anticipation aspect; it's the deep outs and other longer throws that need to be on a rope that I worry about. He has never impressed me with those pass types.

QBs need their legs as much as their arms and I wouldn't trust a guy who might never recover enough to be effective...especially not a guy who wasn't THAT effective as it was without the injury. That's why they have team doctors. You go by what they say after the examination.

Someone else showed he throws to his WRs 4% more frequently than TT. His offenses are terrible. In the 4th Q he has a career total of 5 TDs and 4 ints. in the second half of all games in his career, he has 9 TDs and 9 ints---those are totals. Trailing with 2 minutes or less to go, he has zero TDs, 1 int. His rating is 69.

And how did that work out for the Dolphins with Culpepper? Team Doctors have NO idea how the player will actually play once he gets back on the field after the injury, they just are able to say that he is OK to play.

Ours are hopefully better. 2 hours ago, 26CornerBlitz said: I would label his arm strength as adequate. I would agree, all I'm saying is that rather have him behind the center than Tyrod. And that's why while we develop our rookie QB.

26CornerBlitz Posted January 22, 2018 Posted January 22, 2018 (edited) Bridgewater said on Monday, via multiple reports from Minnesota, that he “definitely” sees himself as a starter heading into the 2018 season. It will be interesting to see what teams might feel the same way and what kind of commitment they’d be willing to make after Bridgewater was limited to one garbage time relief appearance over the last two seasons. Bridgewater 'Definitely' Sees Himself as '18 Starter Quote Instead of preparing for a Super Bowl in their home stadium, the Vikings -- just like that -- are left to ponder an offseason flush with questions. Who will emerge as the guy under center for the future? So what about Bridgewater? The back-from-injury signal-caller told reporters Monday that he "definitely"sees himself as a starter in 2018, according to ESPN's Kevin Seifert. Bridgewater, though, acknowledged that such a role might have to happen somewhere other than Minnesota. Bridgewater courageously returned this season from a devastating knee injury that wiped out his 2016 campaign. The former starter was essentially demoted during the playoffs, though, floating in the abyss behind Keenum and Bradford and calling the experience a "test of my character." As for Bridgewater, if his time is up in Minnesota, he'll quickly find employment elsewhere. He's 25 years old with plenty of solid game tape under his belt. If the Vikings don't want him, someone else will. Edited January 22, 2018 by 26CornerBlitz

With TT, behind in the 4th quarter means we lose. Look, you think we're a better team with TT, just watch those 50 yard passing beauties he put up and the stellar Jax game. I'll take Teddy over that, particularly as a bridge QB while our draft pick matures. Overall I'd take Alex Smith as a bridge over both Teddy and TT. Hokay, I give up. Bridgewater 6-6 in first year as starter (the year of his 3 comeback games). Taylor 7-6 his first year as starter. Obviously, that means Bridgewater would win us more games We do agree on Alex Smith, though. If we're going for a bridge guy, he's my man over TT.
OldTimeAFLGuy Posted January 23, 2018 Posted January 23, 2018 ....Vikes give Keenum a nice starter deal like Glennon+....Teddy gets a back up deal with starter incentives and Bradford is the odd man out......and no to Bflo for Sam.....

Yeah Nobody is giving Bridgewater more than 15 Probably mostly incentives based Most likely no more than 1 guaranteed commitment either
Beast Posted January 24, 2018 Posted January 24, 2018 If we brought Bridgewater in I would wince every time he planted his leg to make a cut.
