Expand I wonder if that is how they view him honestly. The potential heir. Or a solid back up with an upside ? I might guess this is just an invested insurance for Brees. And hoping Teddy is Coachable and can develop his game. ps i liked this kid all along. even with his faults /weaknesses early on.
John from Riverside Posted August 29, 2018 Posted August 29, 2018 I find it interesting how a select few bills fans are already complaining the jets outdid us this offseason.... You guys do know that wont be known for a least a couple of years right? The instant gratification crowd can put their hand down now.

Even using last year as an example, they still threw the ball a TON. Expand Wow, I didn't check that. Thats interesting. Bridgewater is completely wrong for that offense.

Teddy B has a little over 6000 career yards... Calling Bridgewater perfect for that offense is very bizarre. 1
PlayoffsPlease Posted August 29, 2018 Posted August 29, 2018 Did the Jets turn a FA agent signing into a third round pick. That is some nice gm work.

Estro Posted August 29, 2018 Posted August 29, 2018 Jod well done by the Jets front office. Turned a $500k signing bonus paid to Teddy into a 3rd round pick. That's called good business. Why no other teams were willing to pay Teddy a little more than that never made any sense.

It’s like the injury made people forget he wasn’t that good. Good backup but not a starter Expand He was pretty legit his rookie season I think. He put up good fantasy numbers iirc. Not that that really means that much.
Mr. WEO Posted August 29, 2018 Posted August 29, 2018 It was a nice trade for the jets--getting a 3rd for him. It was a nice summer job for Teddy, picking up a cool million for showing up for a few weeks. On 8/29/2018 at 11:23 PM, Idandria said: He was pretty legit his rookie season I think.

C.Biscuit97 Posted August 29, 2018 Posted August 29, 2018 Hate saying it but what a great move for Jets. I don’t even know if a fully healthy TB was even worth a 3rd. Great dude but he is nothing special as a qb. 1

Bridgewater protects them in the event of a Brees injury. Their window is now. Expand Yeah in theory that sounds good but.... you & I both know if brees goes down, Bridgewater is not going to lead the Saints to the promise land. Bad trade for the Saints imo. 1

They wanted a second at least. They are not the smartest bunch but I do think getting Teddy for a third is rather cheap.

Bad trade for the Saints imo. Expand It’s no different than the Eagles last year. The Saints are a different team than they were. They were at the top of the league with 4.7 YPC and rushed for over 2,000 yards last year. They are balanced on offense and can rush the passer on defense. This is the most balanced Saints team since 2009.

They passed 536 times and ran 444, with nearly twice as many passing first downs as rushing. Bridgewater will need a 23 game regular season to get that many yards passing... 1

They’ve pretty much changed the way that they were constructed because it didn’t work. They are a balanced offense that rushes the passer and creates turnovers. They’ve spent the last 2 seasons remaking the secondary, pass rusher and running game. The days of the 5,000 yards passing are gone. They believe, that they are good enough now to withstand Brees missing significant time. That would have been blasphemous not that long ago. They might be right now. That’s why they made the move.

Expand That defense gives up a lot of yards, 10th in points. 4 more TO's forced than the year before, 3 more than the year before that. I'm sure they are intrigued with TB as a backup (currently "Tayson Hill"). I can't imagine they really believe that they would win as many games with Brees out. Yes the days of 5000 yards may be gone (let's see them do it for 2 seasons in a row for the first time in the Brees era), but that team won't win like this with a 3000 yard QB who hasn't played in a long time (relative to his lightweight career to this point).
