It's definitely a roll of the dice ... but is the juice worth the squeeze? I tend to think it's a low risk, high reward type of move but would understand wanting to go in a different direction.

Assuming he qualifies as "good" (old, yes) he would be the only one not on a rookie deal. Backups like AJ McCarron and Chase Daniel are at $5 million. They aren't even good but that's the market for a vet.

I would be much more ready to roll if he didn't affect the comp picks

As I mentioned in the Tannehill thread, I think it's becoming increasingly likely that it's a choice between starting with Bridgewater or sticking with Tannehill, so for that reason alone I'm pulling hard for this to come off.

Tua time!
Teddy’s only start this year he played with like 75 percent back ups

It’s high risk low reward in the sense that it’s unlikely he’ll be a franchise QB, but there’s a decent chance that he’ll be good enough to keep the team in 6-10 mediocrity during his tenure.
Most Dolphin fans, including myself, are demoralized as is. I get that management doesn’t want things to appear as if the goal is to lose next season, but the return they’ll get on trotting out a real if mediocre QB is low from a PR standpoint, that it’s just better to be as honest as you can be. If it goes as it should, we’ll all be much happier in the long run.
I guess it depends on what you think of Bridgewater and the fins chances of putting a decent enough team around him ... which goes for any other QB they bring in as well.
Definitely not opposed to letting a QB already on the roster suck it up next season ... but I think they'll bring in at least a FA ... and Teddy would be on the top of my list.

I don’t want to sign anybody with a guaranteed second year.
Teddy looks like he will be relatively expensive. More than Osweiler or Bortles or Fitzpatrick. And since I really don’t care how these guys do, I would pick whoever comes the cheapest.
I don’t see the point in bringing in a mediocre qb. They only way to get better is to draft somebody and build a roster when that qb is still on his rookie deal. That needs to be our sole focus next year.

I never said he was above average, just mediocre at best. Like Tannehill.
With 147 more attempts with an additional year of experience? Umm...no, I don't feel that is significantly better.
Sorry, I was agreeing with you. I should have been clearer.

Seeing our options being so limited is reminding me of that feeling I got watching Dante Culpepper demonstrate ge was the turnover machine I'd thought he was in that 2006 season. We're ****ed this year.
