If you want a microcosm of what Teddy Bridgewater does well and what he does poorly, save Sunday's game against the Lions forever.

When it comes to locating the proper receiver, having good accuracy on short-to-intermediate throws and making good decisions with the football, Bridgewater is already in the top half of NFL starting QBs, maybe even the top 10. He knows how to run an offense. And this is very encouraging.

But he also continued to struggle with midrange throws to the sidelines, leaving us to wonder if such a thing can be fixed or simply needs to be avoided.
