Irrelevant.
Why is Teddy Bridgewater (who has also never led a playoff run) better than Case Keenum? That's the real question here.

Here we see the real problem with your argument.
I asked you to prove to me that Teddy Bridgewater could outplay Case Keenum, and you instead told me what "you believe."
The supporting facts I offered weren't that stupendous, but at least I gave you something. You counter with non-fact-based opinions like "inconsistent" and "I can't name a player in the Browns secondary," which are easily refuted by the numbers I gave you. Plus, I could opine that Teddy Bridgewater has been inconsistent during his career, and I'd be just as right as you are.
You believe that Teddy Bridgewater could lead a playoff run, but Keenum couldn't. So I'm asking ... what has Teddy Bridgewater ever ACTUALLY DONE in the NFL that proves your statement?
You obviously think Teddy's ceiling is higher. Again, prove it. Use a number. Any number. A metric of some kind. The opinion of somebody who's actually in the NFL. Anything. My guess is that you'll start with the 11-5 record and division championship in 2015 as a metric. Great. Then play fair and compare it to Keenum's 5-2 record this year (a better winning percentage, by the way). Want to use Teddy's stats in 2015? Perfect. They're almost identical to what Keenum's are right now, except for sack rate and INT rate, which Keenum wins by a mile.
And NONE of this accounts for the fact that we don't know whether Bridgewater's leg will actually stay attached if he takes a sack.

(Part 1)
Neither do I.
Pondering Her Percy wrote:What do you think a defense like Seattle will do to Keenum??
(Part 2)
Probably no worse than they did to Teddy Bridgewater in the 2015 playoffs, when Teddy threw for 146 yards, the Vikings netted less than 200 yards of total offense, and scored no touchdowns.
Pondering Her Percy wrote:Detroit made him look out of his element! Defenses like that will expose his inconsistencies.
You mean like the God-awful 49ers did to Teddy in 2015? Or maybe the Seahawks that regular season? I can cherry-pick bad games, too.
Pondering Her Percy wrote:He's a good fallback option, but if Teddy or Sam are healthy, they should get the start.
Sam Bradford isn't an issue for me. If Sam Bradford is healthy, I'd take him 8 days a week over EITHER Bridgewater or Keenum. I've stated that a hundred times on this board. But that assumes a HEALTHY Sam Bradford. Because there is no way I want the Sam Bradford we saw against Chicago to ever take the field again for the Minnesota Vikings. Until he proves he's healthy, he can't even be considered.
Pondering Her Percy wrote:Keenum is barely getting by as is right now and we havent even hit the meat of our schedule yet.
So the first 8 games don't count?
Again, what makes Teddy Bridgewater, especially as he is right now, a better option that Case Keenum? Use an actual metric, please. Not the eye test. Not your opinion. Show some proof.
Thank you.
