Just now on Colin Cowpie, just as a throwaway line, he mentioned how he liked Teddy Bridgewater, and then in the very next breath said he thought there would be a lot of teams playing multiple quarterbacks this year (and not because of injury).

I ain't seeing it. Bridgewater looked terrible in the preseason from the little I saw.

But maybe this is the media starting a narrative (might as well consider Payton "media" now as it looks like he's going to be a regular talking head).

I don’t see Bridgewater playing unless Tua is injured or the Dolphins have a huge lead in a game and McDaniel decides to take Tua out because he doesn’t want him to be exposed to an injury in a game they have already won.

As far as Payton is concerned. It funny that he didn’t like Bridgewater enough to sign him after Brees retired and they were in need of a starting QB. It’s obvious Payton never saw Bridgewater as anything but a backup QB and as you pointed out, he is just making comments to have something to say.Since he is now is in the media and they pay him to talk nonsense sometimes.

Would be great to get anything for Teddy plus have our backup be Skylar

Agreed, in the event that Tua goes down, id prefer to see what we have with skylar immediately, being that hes 25 and all. We know we aren't winning deep into playoffs with Bridgewater anyways. IF that niners pick turns into a top 5 pick and skylar balls out, then you arent as concerned about QB and we can go defense. Were gonna need all the help we can get dealing with Josh Allen for the next decade.
 
Teddy is not the answer - but might be a good stopgap in an emergency.

I know he's thrilled to be home playing for presumably the team he rooted for growing up. He seems like a good and earnest guy so as much as I think Skylar is our long term keeper, I'd hate to treat Teddy like yesterday's garbage.

OTOH, if it means an opportunity to start and re-prove himself (for the umpteenth time), he might welcome that challenge :shrug:
 
Teddy Two Gloves is hot garbage. If he ever plays our season is toast already.

The NFL has had enough of him. Hence why he eventually signed with us as a backup (and looked meh in preseason)

Maybe they will give up a 6th round pick for Thompson. Some posters on here think he is better than Bridgewater and why should the Cowboys settle Bridgewater when the Dolphins would be happy to trade Thompson for the right price.

If Tua was to get hurt I'd rather just play Skylar and see what we have with him......Teddy's what he is and you're going nowhere far with him long term.

The season is over if Tua goes down. No matter who they play at QB. The draft pick the Dolphins lost in the Ross fiasco would really come back to bite the Dolphins in the butt if Tua goes down and Bridgewater or Thompson has to play much of the season.

I think you're jumping to conclusions a bit, but im not concerned about the draft pick we dont have anymore, whats done is done, gotta look forward

Sure but what I'm saying is, why not play Skylar at that point?......either he has it and we keep him or teams would want to trade for him....might as well find out

We already know bridgewaters ceiling, you can pretend that you have an idea with skylar but you dont, and neither do the coaches. I remember you mentioned letting skylar go to waivers as well when we were making cuts. Both the coach and GM seemed to disagree with your choice there

Depends n the context.

I mean...if it's week 16 and we need the next two games to make the playoffs I'm starting Teddy.

If the season was lost...sure start Skylar.
