With the TUA injury can Bridgewater get us there?

    Without knowing the extent of the tua injury, we do know that it is a head and neck injury, and that he’s been taken to a trauma center, which could possibly mean a career or season ending injury. I think I can speak for all of us that we hope and pray he can recover from this.

    that said, we still have a long season ahead of us, and we are now saddled with Teddy
    Being our starter for a foreseeable future.

    Does anyone have faith that he can deliver us to the playoffs or are we now doomed for a game or two out of the playoff hunt?

    Are we able to peel another QB off some team that would be better??

    I’m not comfortable with Teddy leading us for the rest of the season.

    I’d rather we give Skylar a shot IMHO.

    As long as Waddle and Tyreek are healthy, we have a chance

    I have no faith in Teddy. His arm strength is extremely limited, and he's slow to react. He was never a great QB, and now that he's getting older it seems like he doesn't care quite as much when he's out there.

    If Tua were healthy, even if the rest of the team didn't improve by all that much (and I still hope that they do), I'd say we should absolutely go no worse than 5-2 over the next seven games. We would be the favorite in all of them. If he's out for weeks or months, then I say that those same seven games are a coin flip, and that the games against better teams at the latter part of the schedule are virtually impossible.

    The run game is unfortunately inconsistent at best, and probably pretty weak most games. The defense already had holes, and now if Howard is also out for who knows how long, we're in big trouble. You can't win games with a backup QB, a weak run game, an injured secondary, and a LB corps that needs to be replaced. Hill and Waddle become far less effective.

    I’m curious as to why you think Teddy has por arm strength?

    I've watched him throw the ball a number of times and used my eyes.

    His arm isn’t JA’s or Mahomes’ but he’s above average in arm strength.
