hehe, well the funny thing is he'd most likely have way better stats with all that garbage time and so he probably wouldn't be ranked 5th anymore LOL.

Right on Mondry

Sigh...

All kinds of fancy stats to help tell the Tale of Teddy Two-Gloves. Buckle up, kids:

Paralysis by analysis.

Thanks for the link though...

That sure was a ridiculous amount of reading hahaha. All in all nothing really surprising there with the data, it's pretty much what I expected and I agree with most of it.

Never thought about it from an age perspective but Carr being a full year older than bortles and a year and a half older than Teddy probably helped him get off to a good start. Teddy being the youngest only helps his cause.

Looks like as long as you didn't take Manziel (though he could still get his #### together I suppose) you were gonna get a non bust level QB from that top 3. They all have work to do though, which of course in year 2 is to be expected.

and he can only improve when he has a real OL......

Sounds familiar.

I know what you mean. Luck looks terrible without a good OL.

ESPN: Bridgewater Great In Clutch Situations

http://www.dailynorseman.com/2015/12/20 ... situations

Sando took a look at how quarterbacks across the NFL fared in "clutch situations," defined by Sando as situations where a team was trailing by one score (eight points or less) in the fourth quarter and overtime. Bridgewater has had 43 plays in those situations, according to Sando, and his QBR in those situations is a cool 82.4. That figure is good enough for fourth in the National Football League. . .not in the NFC North, not in the NFC, but in the entire NFL.

QBR in clutch: 82.4

Stats in clutch: 22-of-30 passing for 314 yards with two TDs, no INTs and six sacks, plus 29 yards rushing.

Signature moment: Bridgewater completed seven of 10 passes for 114 yards during the tying and winning drives at Chicago in Week 8. He threw the tying TD pass to Stefon Diggs on third down with two minutes remaining. Bridgewater then moved Minnesota into position for the winning field goal with a 35-yard strike to Charles Johnson on a pass that traveled 31 yards past the line of scrimmage. This play, with 36 seconds remaining, improved the Vikings' win probability by 36.7 percentage points.

... and two lost fumbles.

I assume they're just looking at this season.

Kalil needs more consistency. Not that it costs us games or anything.

What's wrong with the honest side?

It's pretty deceptive for an article to claim Bridgewater has been great in clutch situations this year, back it up with that stat line and just ignore the two game-ending turnovers in clutch situations.

I imagine the stats are comprehensive and reflect those two situations as well.
