Thompson > Bridgewater (???)

[Charlie Rivers]

If Thompson outperforms Bridgewater before the season opener, will he (ST) land the number two spot on the qb roster?

My answer is no. Sort of...

Experience counts for much...but...it wouldn't be a stretch to see Thompson win the backup role behind Tua come September.

Question: Is it true that ST is looking better than TB in the offseason drills - camp?

Curious.

Thompson should be our backup because Bridgwater sucks and Thompson has potential. This is Tua's 3rd year he doesn't need a mediocre conservative QB to be his mentor anymore.

If Bridgewater is outplayed during preseason I would cut him. Lose a big chunk of money this year, but won't matter after that. But if Thompson just looks so so, just get him on the practice squad since it's doubtful he'd get a better offer. He'd also know he'd get a very good chance of being number two next year if he improves.

Teams carry at least one long-time vet a QB. They do far more than backup the starter - mentoring, film room, watching the D. Far more than a rook can do. I expect TB stays even if Skylar looks better

Seems like a very long shot that dude could beat out Bridgewater

A lot people are really underrating him…. At the same time hyping up a 7th round QB..

Carne Asada (member (name) who "liked" this thread)) is tasty but I prefer Ropa Vieja or Tasajo (both) con Moro and a Materba.

Just saying...

I just did a little dive on this dude. He’s a big guy and made some pretty incredible plays in college vs LSU and some other good programs. Fingers crossed we may have found a serviceable QB

Yes because trade, trade, trade, picks, picks, picks, cpa, cap, cap. The dream is a 2nd or 3rd for Bridgewater from QB needy team. Not gonna happen.

With Tua’s injury history I feel better with a vet until I see something on the field in actual preseason games. I’m not going with Thompson over Bridgewater based on camp tweets.

Very curious actually.

Lucky for Bridgewater his 6.5M total compensation is fully guaranteed. Cutting him wouldn’t make sense unless Skylar was awesome and you couldn’t risk losing him. Even then you can keep 3 QBs.

If Thompson was better than a borderline starter already you might as well just give him the starting job because it's already a situation out of the twilight zone.

Teddy having a good day today. Sounds like a couple TD tosses and a deep completion. Hold the phone!

 

[Stoobz]

Teddy will and should be QB2, at least for this year.

ST definitely has potential but let's just hope we can stash him on the PS, for now.

 

[NY8123]

I certainly don't want to lose Thompson. I am hoping he can be stashed on the practice squad until he can be our #2 next season behind Tua.

Well, that's what TC is for. We'll see them both plenty in the PS games.
