Excuse me. I’m sure most of you are accusing me of blasphemy for putting the medias new hype boy so low on the list. The fact of the matter is I’m not impressed with Teddy Bridgewater.
Bridgewater put forth a great effort in the second half of 2014. For that, I commend the kid. unfortunately what that performance (which led 3-4 record in the second half of season against opponents with a combined record of 52-59) led to, is this idea that Bridgewater earned the Rookie of the year award (that should have gone to Beckham) and that he is now one of the top quarterbacks in the NFC North as well as the NFC as a whole.
Wow! and I said Nick Foles was a jump to conclusion. I’m sure the Vikings will have a nice year, and in the next few years, they will be a force. But in 2015, maybe we should table the Bridgewater is amazing conversation.
Next: Colin Kaepernick?
