I hope you are also talking about Brian Hoyer...His first pass was ATROCIOUS. It was a scripted INT. The only thing that couldve made that play worse was if the rookie took it for a pick 6. TB is a guy who is playing in his second NFL season and had played most of last season without ANYONE. Compare this with Brian Hoyer who has been an NFL journeyman and on his 5th NFL team in 6 years in the National Football league...Teddy has shown more to me in the NFL than Brian will ever show. Teddy's INT(late game INT) resulted in 3 points...Hoyer's INT (1st quarter) resulted in 14 points. You dont win games if you are out of it in the 1st half (we were down 27-9, while they were down 1 TD at the half)... There were two plays from last nights game that proved why Teddy was highly touted as Pro ready QB: the pocket was collapsing all around him, and threw a shovel pass while getting hit that netted 15 yds and a 1st...Hoyer fumbles the football. 2nd play...2nd and 20, the dude escapes a sure sack and throws to his TE for 19...
Oh for sure, both Teddy Bridgewater and Brian Hoyer are just awful QB's, but no one is making any excuses for Hoyer, and he got pulled for his performance despite it being equal or better than Bridgewater's. Then again I knew this was coming from the cult of Teddy.
You Bridgewater guys please don't be offended, but I have to post this gem from another thread. It's too funny.
Minnesota Vikings — QB Teddy Bridgewater’s (+4.0) feet carried him to 21 rushing yards and a score on six runs, and while his ability to spin away from pressure stood out, the way he dealt with the blitz was as impressive. Blitzed on 10 of his dropbacks, Bridgewater faced it with calm and responded by completing 7 of 10 attempts for 99 yards. https://www.profootballfocus.com/bl...oised-bridgewater-pass-rush-lead-the-vikings/
A +4.0 grade is impressive. Although, Bobby will point to pass attempts and declare it a poor performance.
Now if only Mallett was as cool and calm under pressure as Teddy.... Hey, we might actually be 2-0 if we had Teddy B instead of the dumpster fire that we have now.
Will be nice to see how Teddy B and Carr progress over these next few years. Wish we had one of them.
All else being equal, yes. Just looking at QB ability alone, Manziel is mobile and more accurate. But all his baggage could be a distraction for years to come. So probably not in the real world. Would sell tickets though.
Looked pretty fast to me too. The two guys that caught him were the deep coverage, and both probably had an angle. And I'd guess they were also pretty fast...
