How convenient that we migrated to the new site so I can't pull this out of the archives like you did, right Tom?

Yeah, if the 2 seasons that he didn't play, due to injury, he didn't get any better.... he wasn't anything special. I don't care that he was young and had so-called potential. He still wasn't anything special
Bottom line, he wasn't a bust and it's a joke to call him a bust. When I think of a bust, I think of Ryan Leaf, Jamarcus Russell, Tim Couch, Akili Smith...anybody that puts Teddy in that class of guys as a "bust" just has a bias.
"Bottom line" Bridgewater is in the class of busts like Joey Harrington and Christian Ponder....anybody that doesn't put Teddy in that category just has a bias.
Coming from a guy that called a good man a "douche" because he disagreed with you on the internet, the lecture on bias is rather ironic.

Lol, so an opinion is only relevant if you have heard it before in your "expert" opinion?!? Lol. So if you have never heard of a hemangioma, they don't exist? Haha.

LMAO....Joey Harrington and Christian Ponder?? Those guys were both in the league 6 years and never injured to point of being placed on IR. They both never won a playoff game either....and they both were given multiple chances to be the guy, by 4 different teams. What is your definition of a bust? Mine would be that said player was on the active roster of a football team (or teams) for several years but was unable to succeed to any great degree and eventually retired from the game. Harrington and Ponder fit that description. However, if a guy suffers a career threatening injury and has to miss significant time due to said injury, and is then released by his team he isn't a bust. If Teddy ends up never playing another down he's not a bust. Bad comparison.

Yup, I said I was an expert...several years of watching the NFL=calling myself an expert. Then again, maybe I am an expert. Actually, I think I am....because you think you are, so I must be as well.
HA HA! I HAVE heard of a hemangioma as I happen to be a medical transcriptionist by trade. Are you insinuating that all "busts" have birth marks?? :D

Look. Let's talk reality. Teddy is a good guy. But facts are facts. 15 NFC North clinching game at GB he was 9-19. 99 yds 0 TDs 1 INTs   Both HOME games vs Seattle he produced ZERO TDs and everyone blamed Walsh.  Everyone claims Teddy "lead" us on a GW drive when in reality he completed 1 pass    Let's stop with the Teddy is/was a Franchise QB.  Please. He was nothing special other than a nice kid.

Why do you even respond to this nonsense? It's like trying to reason with an idiot who throws his feces at you. What's the point? Walk away.

From what I can gather... the OP is throwing shade at someone for something that happened 2-3 years ago.  I don't get the point.

It is the internet. Feelings were hurt.  Now that someone got injured, healing can occur for everyone.
