When Baker Mayfield went down with an injury against the Los Angeles Rams, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers were forced to turn to Teddy Bridgewater under center at a moment's notice. On paper, Bridgewater is one of the best backup quarterbacks in the NFL and once looked like a potential franchise quarterback for the Minnesota Vikings early in his career before a devastating knee injury changed everything.
Bridgewater has been around the block a few times since his time in Minnesota, and he was actually a passable starter in back to back seasons for the Carolina Panthers and Denver Broncos before completely disappearing off the starting radar when it was obvious he's more of a clipboard game manager than a franchise QB hopeful.
