I don't even think Teddy was trying to create any drama. His pride probably wouldn't say he's a backup. Jacoby Brissett gave a similar non-answer when he was asked last year. The "QB controversy" was media manufactured notably by the pissant Mike Florio of PFT who routinely has it out against the Dolphins.Hopefully Teddy has been spoken to sternly for creating drama when there is none based on his ego that he's now a backup.
FWIW, he's fallen to earth harshly; it wasn't so long ago that he did reject a starting QB offer from us to return to NO to back up Brees. If he's needed, I will root like hell for him, but in general #NotAFan
I never thought there was even a question that was the case. Bridgewater is now on his 5th team in the league and the reason he has been on so many teams is he just hasn’t been good enough anywhere to keep the starting QB job.in so many words, Tua is the starter, Bridgewater the back-up
Teddy was probably trying to position himself to be the successor to Brees which, considering how well he played in New Orleans, and that Jameis eventually got that role despite not being as natural of a fit, I can't blame him.Hopefully Teddy has been spoken to sternly for creating drama when there is none based on his ego that he's now a backup.

Just as an an aside, Florio is definitely pro Flores, decrying racism in hiring and believing his claim that Ross tried to bribe him. Another "do as I say....." considering he lives in Bridgeport WV which has a population of 95% white and 1% Black.I don't even think Teddy was trying to create any drama.

Love how he immediately shuts down the rumor and isn’t scared to say it in front of everyone, unlike the past 3 years where they’d skirt around the issue and let it simmer right there waiting for the **** to pop but would reel it in just to let it simmer some more.How do you not love this guy already.
