Great to just have the competition. If Teddy wins it, then as others have said the Raiders might pick up Trask, but other than that hes got to be done as a potential starter/solid #2 because he comes in with all the advantages and loses to an experienced guy, but a guy that was coaching high school?
Even less on an expert on QB2 than Fire lol, but it seems Trask should have the lead because
Interesting day for Trask because he enters the last preseason game with his coach saying "nothing decided,: but then put up solid (if not great) numbers.
Who would be better suited to hold the Bucs steady with mayfield down? How about to win?

not sure how Teddy's "sickness" plays into all of this
neither has thrown a meaningful pass in the last 2 seasons
the difference is one has 75 career touchdown passes and actually boast a winning record as QB (33-32)
The Bucs are in a world of hurt if mayfield goes down, but im pretty confident, they would roll with Teddy to start if that were to happen (and assuming in playoff contention)
with the sickness and whole guaranteed contract thing, i thought maybe Bridgewater could start on P/S and then be elevated in week 2; but with all these back-up QBs being traded, i just dont know if they take the chance.
Put it this way, if Teddy is #2 to start the year, meaning this week; then one thing is for sure; there was no competition and Teddy was signed to be #2. Teddy has a good showing in game 2 but the writing was clearly on the wall as i anticipated.
in terms of Trask, i think it came down to pedigree and what Bridgewater has accomplished in this league already. The Bucs ain't running a school here and Trask unfortunately can only show so much in practice and scrimmages. The dude had to be next level great in practice and we are talking about the 64th pick in the draft, just was never reasonable for the guy.

Part of what makes the call between the two so interesting.
Trask had a great opportunity against the Bills and he did okay. He managed the offense etc., but really nothing special.
So, you contrast that with Teddy's one performance and maybe its a "win now" versus "slow but steady wins the race" choice?
Teddy was brought in to be the #2. Trask will be #3. This much was known the second they brought Teddy in.

Wolford is available so maybe that messes up the trade plan!
Trask cut
Yeah, Trask getting cut is a bit of a head scratcher for me. All things being equal, Teddy is the reason our second year WR wonderkind is out most of the season. No one with any real understanding of football makes that throw. But oh well. Trask is out. He will get picked up quickly.

I thought they would keep three QB’s. But the team activating both Wirfs & Godwin, knowing they will be missing games, changed that calculus.
You were right, I was wrong.

what I think is crazy is that Bucs don’t even want him on practice squad
or maybe they gave him the choice and he didn’t want to be on it?
one report say Trask was injured, getting a settlement

Not sure that assessment is completely accurate, but whatever. it was one throw. I doubt any real scout/coach would base their decision on a single throw, especially when the QB threw two pretty well-placed Td passes and overall made good decisions, didn't turn the ball over and showed decent pocket presence.
wish Trask all the best, hope he finds a way to stick somewhere.
Bowles has spoken highly of Teddy B's intelligence when making pre snap reads and adjusting against defenses. Grizzard feels highly of Teddy B too.
