I just got off work, and haven't been able to watch. But to keep up with the thread theme, is this game like a Kevin J Anderson novel or Timothy Zahn novel?

With the ever elusive 0-0 tie now an impossibility I am hoping for a 3-2 final score.

I figured he'd probably take awhile to get back into the speed of the game and then probably end up being a bit better then he was pre-injury because their offense seems a lot more talented then overall then he had been playing with so far in his career.

I don't know if that means tearing it up, since he was mostly an average QB pre-injury
He was looking above average before he got injured.

Apparently Bridgewater has been spending his rehab time getting swole as gently caress

Holy lol I was looking up the skinny knees thing and there are so many idiot fan articles making fun of the skinny knees criticism: https://thevikingage.com/2014/04/27/teddy-bridgewater-skinny-knees-player-scouting-stupid/

This is the best one I think

http://www.houstonpress.com/news/texans-tracker-cross-off-teddy-bridgewater-and-his-skinny-knees-6714434

quote:

Teddy Bridgewater's knees are just too f**king skinny. In a league where we need stout, fortified knees, Bridgewater's knees are apparently some flimsy combination of pipe cleaners and paper clips. At least that's what Matt Miller is saying:

I thought that the height of silly was 40 yard dash times for defensive linemen (who, if they're running 40 yards in a straight line, are probably chasing some guy who will soon be scoring a touchdown). I thought that scouts getting worked up into a lather about an offensive lineman having arms half an inch shorter than "optimal" was ridiculous.

But skinny knees. That might never be topped.

Because the last thing you want is for your quarterback to be running around and have his knees snap in half like a chicken bone. We've seen this happen all the time. Right?.....Um, right?
