Surrounded with top NFL offensive talent and cant put up 300 yds while throwing ball 30+ times?

lol of course it can be a lot better but it’s a good start.

Surely you are joking, Dr. Falco.

Hamler doesn't inexplicably drop that dime, Bridgewater's numbers look like fantasy football wet dream numbers.

Next time don't stab your Hamler voodoo doll and how about we let the Broncos roll with the best QB1 currently on the roster.

The Broncos were second in EPA this week. Teddy Bridgewater was second in EPA this week.

According to the ESPN metrics Bridgewater had the best QBR of week one prior to the late game. Probably still stands too. (Look it up, I'm too lazy to link RN)

Yup. Top 5 in QBR were Bridgewater, Winston, Mahomes, Wilson, Murray. Top 5 in QB rating were Wilson, Mahomes, Winston, Burrow, Hurts (Bridgewater was a very solid 9th).

We will win a lot of ballgames if we get that kind of QB play each week.

I don't think Teddy is anything special but if he plays like that this year consistently, not only will it be his best year in the pros, but this team could make some noise as well. I think sustaining that will be hard, but its game 1 and it was a good win in September something we haven't had in a couple years, so anyone who isn't happy is simply trolling, not objective or just a loser

Very impressed with Teddy. I think the next three games will be even better and build a lot of confidence going forward.

7.3 yards per attempt, that’s the exact same as Justin Herbert, Matt Ryan, and Baker Mayfield averaged last year, and just 0.3 less than Tom Brady. Plus, vastly better that the 6.6 yards per attempt Drew Lock averaged last year.

For sure. That was one of the better QB performances we’ve seen over the last 5 years. In his first start on a new team, on the road, traveling to the east coast. The Giants blitzed and brought a lot of pressure, he handled it easily. If he can play like that every week, he’ll easily be our best QB since 2013/2014 Manning (almost a decade ago).

Not sure I'd call that a dime honestly. Made that play a much tougher catch than it should have been.

Also ESPN QBR is lolz as always

It's refreshing to see a QB play this well(especially on the road).. it's like a decade ago..

Second best Broncos starting QB of all time? Many people are saying this...

This reaction towards Bridgewater reminds me how they too reacted after Lock first preseason game.
In the NFL you’re as good as your last game. We have two games against winless teams we’re supposed to beat, after that the fun and real season begins..
