Teddy Bridgewater Career is Over

Did you talk to the doctor? Bradford is not the answer.

Thanks dr pavy

That sucks. He had a few good games. 5 TDs against the Bears last year. Many QBs play their whole career and never score 5 in one game.

Kid had over $5 million guaranteed. Hope he did not squander it.

I remember reading tweets a few mins after the injury that players and witnesses were vomiting after seeing his knee

jjgold · 10-25-16, 06:27 PM

Terrible news hopefully it's not totally true

slambam · 10-25-16, 06:29 PM

Where you see this? I've seen 1 report and it's from a guy who hasn't even looked at Bridgewaters knee.

My dentist said he thought he would win the super bowl

so we could have that be an article too

unde0087 · 10-25-16, 06:43 PM

As long as he can kneel 49ers can always use him as a QB

pavyracer · 10-25-16, 06:44 PM

We have a bunch of Thomas's here for posters. They have to see the holes from the nails.

daneblazer · 10-25-16, 06:48 PM

They've been saying this since the day after his injury. This isn't breaking news

pavyracer · 10-25-16, 06:50 PM

Anyone remember Tiger Woods? He won his last major in a playoff with Rocco Mediate. In doing so he managed to blow up his knee instead of withdrawing. Since that incident his wife divorced him and took half his money, Nike is not making golf equipment anymore and he hasn't played golf for a long time.

And Tiger plays golf and not QB in the NFL!

That's hard to believe with a non contact injury in practice that his career is over. Very few young players are done because of knee injuries. The technology is so much better than even 10 years ago. Shady McCoy had a bone through the skin, ap had two contact injuries and came back, now the Achilles is another story

Well, that was informative. So the why from the article headline is that it was a bad injury, no details.

Did you really just link that to us LT?

lol

Pretty much ended Lattimore. This wasn't a good one...from what I understand it was similar. Some guys just aren't built well

Lattimore was full contact and a rollover. No way can you tear up a knee like lattimore without contact. Chubb even came back within a year of a nasty looking contact knee injury

BuckyOne · 10-25-16, 07:29 PM

No, 14 months to two years to recover. He is doing therapy and rehab and on schedule. 20 years ago - I agree - no shot - 10 years ago - shaky - Start adding up the guys with acl's - tommy John's - etc., etc. it is a big number - this can be done in this day and age!

Did Teddy even have a career, Bradford may not be the answer, but Vikings weren't going to win anything with Bridgewater.

daneblazer · 10-25-16, 07:34 PM

Say he does have 14mo to 2 years. Who is starting him?

I hear the kid is smart, I think he'll be OK

The NFL will still be searching for qb's in 2 years. He is accurate - he works out - will build arm strength - he might lose some mobility but look at all the qb's that are not great runners! His arm-brain - timing and eye-hand coordination are his gift - he is not in the NFL because he can/could run fast!
