Who Should I Start? Teddy Bridgewater or Joe Milton III

Saturday, January 18, 6:55 PM

Detroit Lions quarterback Teddy Bridgewater will serve as the backup QB for Saturday's playoff game against the Washington Commanders. The Lions have opted to have an experienced quarterback behind Jared Goff which leaves Hendon Hooker as the emergency option. Bridgewater retired from the league after the 2023 season to coach his alma mater high school team. He came out of retirement in late December and served as the emergency third string quarterback to end the season. He's unlikely to see the field with Goff healthy, but having Bridgewater's experience on the sideline is never a bad thing.

The New England Patriots continue to receive trade inquiries for quarterback Joe Milton III, according to Mike Daniels of MassLive. Milton was a sixth-round pick in last year's NFL Draft out of Tennessee and flashed in his limited opportunity to play in his rookie campaign. After Drake Maye played just three snaps in Week 18, Milton took over and completed over 75% of his passes for 241 yards, one touchdown, and zero interceptions. He added 10 yards and a touchdown on the ground in a win over the Buffalo Bills. The 25-year-old is one of the most physically gifted quarterbacks in the NFL, but a lack of accuracy and touch plagued him during his collegiate career at Michigan and Tennessee. That said, his strong performance has put him on the radar for other organizations, and he could be dealt during or after the 2025 NFL Draft. With Drake Maye and Joshua Dobbs on the roster, New England could be open to moving him for a mid-round pick.
