Congrats, Teddy. I'm 100% behind you!

Bridgewater was 16th last year in PFF’s grading on deep passing. Lock was 18th.
Bridgewater had a 72.2 grade and had 14 big time throws on 25-55 passing. Lock had a 65.8 grade and 19 big time throws on 18-71 passing. Bridgewater was more efficient in downfield passing, though he took less shots.
I can’t know what he was asked to do. I do know they added Robby Anderson last year, whose targets, receptions and grades dramatically increased from his time with the Jets. He also had D.J. Moore, who isn’t a deep threat, but more of a short possession guy and Curtis Samuel. They worked the middle of the field and didn’t take the top off much. Again, I don’t know if they really asked him to do that or not, but when they did go deep, they were efficient at it. He adds Sutton who’s a different deep ball threat than Anderson, and runs really good sideline routes. It’s going to be a different type of thing Bridgewater will be asked to do this year than last when throwing to him, and Patrick.
BTW, what the hell happened between Monday and this morning that caused the delay in the announcement? I find it hard to believe that yesterday's practice had any significant info that would make a difference in their decision.
Worst part of this is I'm going to have to change my fantasy football team name now.
"Lock a Bridge over troubled Water" was already unwieldy in the box score, but it doesn't work at all now.
So I guess Lock will play the first half of the last PS game? I'll shit a brick if Vic plays Teddy.
Regardless of who they named starter, the other guy is a solid back up, so while they just nailed the back up spot, questions as to the quality at starter remain.
