Teddy Bridgewater as Dak's backup?

Good experience player


Teddy Bridgewater - QB - Jets
NFL.com's Mike Garofolo reports Teddy Bridgewater won't be guaranteed a spot on the Jets' 53-man roster if they select a quarterback at No. 3 overall on Thursday evening.

It goes without saying Christian Hackenberg and Bryce Petty will be candidates for release. Bridgewater's shaky position was telegraphed by the fact that he landed just $500,000 guaranteed — his signing bonus — in free agency. The Jets' quarterback room probably wouldn't be big enough for the three of Bridgewater, Josh McCown and a highly-touted rookie. Bridgewater can't worry about that now, and has to prove he is healthy before anything else.

Would love to have him.
I doubt the Jets cut him regardless of who they draft.

Give me McCown that kid can ball

McGown is a lock to start or backup. So it's not that much of a reach.....

If healthy, but is cut to a QB taken at #3, think he goes to a team with a more dire #1 QB on the roster.

Dak as Bridgewater's backup?

I though everyone wanted Cooper Rush.

 

[Cowboys22]

They won’t bring anyone in that could threaten for the starting job.

I actually think if Bridgewater is healthy, he's much better than Prescott.

I agree but surprisingly he didn't have a strong market at all. In fact, he signed with the Jets more out of desperation. Just think he could be a damn good backup and insurance policy.

Which is why we are in the position we are always in.

Based on what

if he's not making the jets #3, i can't see too many giving him a #1 spot.

 

[jwooten15]

Backup? I'd take him as our starter.

 

[Diehardblues]

Sure, but probably too much competition as a backup . Ha

 

[jrumann59]

I could see a team like Giants, Pitt, or Chargers giving him a back up spot with the intents of grooming him to replace the aging vets at the position those teams have. Unless of course those teams draft what they feel is a rookie replacement.

I like Dak and hope he does well but if we had the chance to grab Teddy or McCown it would be stupid not too with the questions surrounding Dak.

 

[John813]

Meant going to a place that doesn't necessarily have a #1 QB set short or long term. In that he can compete for the spot within the next year or so. Doubt any team will hand him the spot.

Exactly...

McCown is a 38 year old journeyman and "the questions surrounding Dak" are being asked a lot more on this message board than they are at The Star in Frisco.
