Bradford showed some signs of life down the stretch in 2015 after a disappointing start. He grew more comfortable behind center, which led to improved accuracy and arm strength. Bradford did a pretty good job of avoiding sacks, even if that meant taking huge hits in the pocket. He’s 28, but injuries have limited his reps, and that’s evident in his tape. Bradford is slow to react to defenses and doesn’t anticipate his receivers coming open like most passers his age do!
Bridgewater’s 2015 stat line isn’t very impressive. He barely topped the 3,000-yard mark and threw only 14 touchdowns. But let’s give those numbers some context. He threw the fewest passes of any full-time starter in the league. Bridgewater also threw the fewest red zone passes, which is where other players pad those touchdown totals. The 23-year-old played in an offense that doesn’t suit his skill-set behind a bad offensive line and while throwing to an unpolished receiving corps.
Bridgewater throws a bad deep ball, but there aren’t many other clear weaknesses in his game. He moves around the pocket with ease, he’s one of the more accurate passers in the league on short-to-intermediate throws and he’s not easily fooled by defenses.
When watching Bridgewater on tape, you’ll find yourself wondering, “What else could he have done on that play?”
And the answer is usually, “Nothing
Lets not be stupid and compare these 2 based on Sammies 2016 compared to Teddys 2015. So this is a analysis of them going into this season, thats a more realistic comparison than the ridiculous one you keep trying to make!
