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

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.

Sort of like Sam Bradford, but maybe not quite as accurate.

I think it's close to a consensus that Teddy needs a big defense to succeed.
