It's about who he is as a player and the traits he already possesses that make him better down the road.
He's already twice the pocket passer Andy is, Norv put an ample amount of pressure on Teddy with a ton of 5-7 step drops with one of the worst offensive lines, maybe the worst offensive line in the league, and proved to be one of the best QBs under pressure in terms of accuracy and pocket play.
He knows how to manipulate a pocket, maneuver around while keeping his eyes downfield, his poise is better than Dalton's will probably ever be. He read defenses like a true veteran, why? Because that's what he did at Louisville.
Bottom line for me, Andy will produce stats with a healthy personnel group but they will make him look better than what he is from a skill perspective. Put Teddy in this offense now and you'll get equal to greater production with a higher development ceiling from a first round talent.
Bridgewater had an alright rookie season. He still has a lot to prove. We will see what he can do with his improved offense this year.
