Mandatory Credit: Vincent Carchietta-USA TODAY Sports The New York Jets are in the possession of more than one starting-caliber quarterback for the first time in a long time.
Having said that, the Jets’ quarterback competition remains cloudy after two preseason games.
But this much is clear, Jets quarterback Teddy Bridgewater is back to playing high-level football again.
Through two weeks of the preseason (yes, a small sample), Bridgewater looks like he’s well on his way to being the player he once was – a starting-caliber quarterback.
While you might say it is ‘only’ preseason, pressure is pressure.
When throwing in 2.5 seconds or less, Bridgewater has posted a passer rating of 131.3, which ranks second among quarterbacks with 10 or more dropbacks this preseason.
While it’s still early, there is no denying Bridgewater’s value is on the rise.
He has posted an 86.5 passing grade through two preseason contests, fourth-highest among qualifying quarterbacks.
He has gone from an afterthought to the talk of the NFL, as he suddenly looks like a quarterback with the potential to help a team win some games.
