Seems like every other team expected to sign Bridgewater (Speculation)

Personally, I am not concerned about Teddy leaving. The upside of Taysom Hill is what I think the correct play is for the organization, and quite honestly I would literally never fear Teddy Bridgewater at QB if he signed with a common opponent or divisional opponent of ours.

I really like the guy as a person and think he is a good backup, but as a starting QB, he is a game manager and not someone that will "win" a game for you, but will at best "not lose" the game for you. Big difference.

I feel like a lot of people see "backup QB went 5-0" and automatically think it means he must have been great. But for those watching the games closely, they know Teddy Bridgewater isn't the reason why the Saints went 5-0.

I know many people will point to a couple of his more-decent games, or maybe that one time he threw for 300 yards that I can remember off-hand, but a lot of that production was off of an excellent screen game, dump-offs, and/or passes to literally the best WR in football, with a game plan tailored by arguably the best schemer and play-caller in football, versus what I believe was a statistically porous pass defense with an injury or two (edit: his lone 300-yard game was against Tampa Bay at home, who was ranked 32nd in pass defense at that time and finished the year ranked 30th).

So if he signs with Carolina, so be it. I'd be more than happy with facing Teddy Bridgewater twice a year.
