bridgewater has been the best rookie qb this year by a wide margin, the stats at pff show this as well

some of these so called stats you are posting are fake. If he was leading all these league stats like you say he would have more than 7 wins. Teddy has had a decent rookie season but Carr's is arguably better.

coaching is the key difference here and it shows,  Teddy landed in the best situation of all the rookie QBs, Had the best rookie campaign imo. But what impressed me about Carr is his apparent weaknesses during the predraft process, happy feet, pocket awareness etc. He shattered those questions and showed as much poise and awareness as teddy did.  i wish them both a great career and i would trade bortles for either of them atm  :woot:

Here is Teddy's 2014 highlights. I am excited for next year!

Over the last couple weeks of the season, few quarterbacks played as well as Teddy Bridgewater. Though he had next to no help around him, he still showcased great decision-making and an arm that looked a heckuva lot better on an NFL field than it did at a lightly thought of pro day last spring—it's almost like those don't matter. 

It was just the Bears, yes, but the defense also looked impressive in Week 17 and over the second half of the season as well. There is clearly work to do, but things are looking up after head coach Mike Zimmer's first year. - Bleacher Report  By Michael Schottey ,

 

 

Rookie quarterback Teddy Bridgewater’s development was among the most positive signs for a team that also improved as the season unfolded. The Vikings were 5-4 in their final nine games with the four losses coming by a combined total of 15 points. By Alex Marvez

Bridgewater seems to have a good future for the Vikings.  Since you guys are not in our division, and are otherwise not a team I despise, I wish him and the Vikings well.

Worst to 1st.  Curse Reversed!

I still don't believe the guy is likely to be an elite QB, but I'm glad the vikings took him. If the texans had taken him it's likely he'd have had significant Andy Dalton type success. Not a great QB, but having great success anyway.

His arm and slight frame might keep him from being elite, but his mind and approach to football can compensate for that.  If he stays healthy and gets the requisite help around him, he can do big things in the league, especially once the dome is finished in Minnesota.

Maybe.

 

I guess it depends on what someone means by big things.

 

Chad Pennington had a lot of success in spite of his shortcomings, but he certainly wasn't elite.

 

Teddy at least has the benefit of a first class coordinator, it'll be interesting to see how far he can go.

Passing on Teddy for a project was stupid but it's water under the bridge now

why do people keep using the word "elite" so lightly as though it is the only one of two option a young QB can be -- either a bust or elite?


Matt Ryan, Joe Flacco, Russell Wilson, Big Ben, and Eli Manning are not elite QBs. (Luck has the potential to be one down the road, but he's not there yet). But they are all franchise QBs.


Teddy is not going to be an "elite" qb. I highly doubt it. But I see his ceiling more of a mobile Matt Ryan.

lets see teddy had a better completion percentage than carr

 

teddy had a WAY better yards per attempt than carr

 

teddy had a way better passer rating than carr

 

teddy won 6 games more than carr and bortles combined

 

teddy's led the league in advanced conmpletion percentage... (completions that are drops or not the qbs fault)

 

teddy also had over 200 yards rushing, the first qb ever to do that in a norv turner offense

 

---------------

 

the big one.. teddy did all that playing in 5 less games than carr( who started from week 1)

Who cares.

The thread is about him you jack [BLEEP]. Why are you reading this thread if you don't care?

---

You can watch highlights of any other team, and they will have receivers running WIDE open from time to time. That never happens for Bortles!

---

STILL be an All Pro would mean he WAS an All Pro at some point...which he wasn't. Stats not lying and such....

and if rg3 never got injured he would still be an all-pro


sometimes stats dont lie

Why are you so bent out of shape over it?

 

Personally if he isn't going to be elite then I'm okay with Caldwell passing on him.

 

Sometimes guys have success somewhere but it still doesn't mean they were a guy that should have been taken by the Jaguars.

 

Good examples of this would be Kaepernick or Dalton. Neither of those guys would be winners on the Jaguars over the last several seasons.

 

I believe the same applies to Teddy, he'll never be a carry the team guy, and as such I don't care that he is having a relative level of success elsewhere.

I hate the word elite all together because of fans, lol.


I don't think there is a QB who would have been successful here this year. Maybe a guy like Rodgers could've squeezed out a couple more wins but with no protection and no receivers open, expectations need to be in check. Hopefully we get this thing figured out for next season.
