Man, someone should start a thread on this.
You aren’t winning anything in the NFL if your starting QB is injured and you have to rely on your backup to win games.Personally I'd rather take my chances with Skylar. I've always found Bridgewater to be trash. You ain't winning anything with him.
No NFL team drafted Strong, so he obviously wasn’t viewed by any team to be worthy of a draft pick.Nope.
I found it interesting that Miami drafted him over Brock Purdy and Carson Strong. They clearly see something in the kid.
Agree. Unless he lights it up in preseason.It seems like every year an UDF or late round drafted rookie or two looks great before the preseason games start and some people project that they will replace one of the veterans. The majority of the time these players end up getting cut and the veteran makes the team.
The only way I see Thompson remaining a Dolphin after all the cuts are made is if he is signed to the PS after he clears waivers.
Bridgewater will be the backup for the Dolphins unless he is injured in preseason. Thompson might eventually make a decent backup for the Dolphins or another team in the future but I just don’t see him making the final 53 or being the Dolphins backup QB this coming season.
Exactly…the odds are against it, but you never know!Thompson has to play lights out starting in preseason game 1 to have any shot of unseating TB. There must be no question that he would be an upgrade. Anything that even says ho hum and he's on the PS.
Akkadian?You are talking my language - LOL
It's weird to keep seeing people say Bridgewater is bad. His numbers were pretty much identical to Tua last year:Bridgewater is bad. I believe I posted this when we signed him.

Thats why many of us watch football and don’t just study numbers like it’s math class. Denvers offense could have been so much better with a good qb, while Miamis would have killed about any qb last year. Tua is lucky he survived that playcalling and line.It's weird to keep seeing people say Bridgewater is bad. His numbers were pretty much identical to Tua last year:

Better than Tom Brady?? Haha. OK, IMO you have to go with Teddy. He has won a significant number of games. He has skills. This, as usual a 1 year thing. As long as ST can be stashed safely…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.
