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 think it means he must be great. But for those watching the games closely, they know Teddy isn't why the Saints went 5-0.

I know many people will point to a couple of his more-decent games, or 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.

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

That explanation can also be applied to Brees' play this year. Injuries game plan unexpected lack of consistency all are factors in a quaterback's play. This is Bridgewater's first time playing meaningful games in years. The offensive game plan was not modified all that much for TB, but the concern for caution and limiting mistakes was paramount in someone who was so rusty. I can remember us cringing at the thought of playing Minnesota when TB was developing into a Star as a young QB. I believe that given the real starter role in a great offense he can be as dangerous as anyone we can get and may even rival Brees given the time and game planning specific to him. Or ...Maybe not ... but for you to say definitively what Teddy is, or can be, is being short sighted on your part in my opinion.... which is only worth as much as yours.
