Let's talk about TB's second year in the league (his last real playing season)

He had :
3,284 yards passing (60% completion), 17 TDs, 16 INTs, for a QBR of 77. He also rushed the ball 38 times for 130 yards and 1 TD.

Oh wait, that was Drew's second season in the league. My bad.

Teddy had :
3,231 yards passing (65% completion), 14 TDs, 9 INTs, for a QBR of 89. He also rushed the ball 44 times for 192 yards and 3 TDs.

Am I saying TB is as good as DB? Hell no. But he won his division, took his team to the playoffs, and went to the Pro-Bowl in his second year. Look at Drew in San Diego. He was a good QB. But no one was calling him great. And comparing TB's chances to those other scrubs you listed is laughable. I simply do not understand people on this website who act like Bridgwater has no shot at being anything other than Chase Daniels 2.0. Is it because of the recent success of rookie QBs in the league and the desire to just go out and draft a Mahomes, Watson, Prescott, or Goff? Or is it that we have been so utterly spoiled by having arguably the greatest QB ever in New Orleans for so long that even the idea of another guy coming in and playing a full season just makes people uneasy to the point where they don't want to even contemplate how we could ever win without #9?

Yeah he wasn't about to be made a Franchise QB before a freak injury or anything.
