I just wanted to chime in regards to Bridgewater. You guys have to keep in mind that we have had a revolving O line (2 to 3 starters have been out) this year and Teddy got beat up because of their turn-style play. Teddy acknowledged this, started stepping up in the pocket when the line collapsed and got rid of the ball quickly. Also, we did not have Adrian Peterson all year minus 1 game and we settled with Asiata who gives you atleast 2-3 yards a carry and the rookie Mckinnon who got injured earlier this year. Couple that with the fact that we have no true #1 receiver and our best TE Kyle Rudolph has been injured most of the year. We benched our #1 pick, Patterson in favor of a practice squad player in Charles Johnson so Teddy has been carrying this offense himself. 

 

Long story short, I was caught up in the Manziel hype but I am glad that we were able to snatch Teddy. Its good to know that we have our quarterback of the future and we can build this team around him. He has had an amazing rookie season and below are some amazing stats.
