Las Vegas Raiders: 3 new Denver Broncos to worry about in 2021

No. 1: Teddy Bridgewater, Quarterback

The Denver Broncos did a very smart thing in terms of their quarterback room this offseason, and that was bringing in Teddy Bridgewater to battle it out with Drew Lock for the starting quarterback role. Last season, Lock took a step back in terms of his development and heading into 2021, some feel he is the worst starting quarterback in all of football.

That means that Bridgewater is going to get every chance to earn the starting job, and that should worry the Raiders fan base. I am not saying that because I feel that Bridgewater can beat the Raiders single-handedly, but he is a much better quarterback than Lock, someone this defense has feasted on in recent years.

Of course, with everything going on surrounding Aaron Rodgers, this No. 1 person to worry about could be him, as the Broncos are definitely in the mix if he becomes available. Right now, the Raiders have had Lock’s number, but if Teddy B gets the nod, especially by the time the Raiders play them, he will be a much harder signal-caller to gameplan for.
