3 reasons why Teddy Bridgewater can win games for the Dolphins

Teddy Bridgewater throws harder than Tua.

Teddy Bridgewater doesn’t have the anticipation on throwing the ball or navigating the pocket like Tua has. He simply doesn’t have that innate ability to throw the ball to guys who aren’t out of their breaks like Tua can. Now Tua needs to be able to throw with that great sense of anticipation because his arm isn’t as good as quarterbacks that can just throw the ball to guys when they come open.

Teddy Bridgewater can do that and he can do that well. Though this stuff happens all the time, it’s nice to just hear something that makes sense.

This offense will change a little bit with Teddy in there. There might be a little less play-action, maybe a bit more throws outside the numbers.

I feel like we saw that in the Vikings game when Teddy came in after Skylar got injured. If you remember, Teddy Bridgewater threw for 329 yards, 2 TDs, and 2 INTs in relief. This means that this pending that if the imaginary spotters that don’t sit up in the stands don’t take Bridgewater out after the first play, he will play a whole game after getting all the reps at practice for the first time.

Teddy’s stronger arm bodes well for Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle who are tearing it up. Mike McDaniel has been drawing up plays getting Hill and Waddle seemingly wide-open all year and Tua has been getting the ball to them by mostly throwing the ball to a spot where they’re going to be. With Teddy Bridgewater, there’s an opportunity to get the ball as soon as they separate from their man. Does that mean they’ll see more zone coverage? Maybe, but I’m very interested in seeing Bridgewater, confidently, throwing the ball to these guys when they’re open.
