Teddy Bridgewater vs. Drew Lock by the numbers

Broncos General Manager George Paton wanted a quarterback competition and now he’s got one, after trading for Carolina’s Teddy Bridgewater Wednesday. 

Assuming the Broncos don’t draft a rookie quarterback Thursday night, which remains a real possibility, it’ll be Bridgewater vs Drew Lock vying for the starting spot come September. 

Here’s a numbers-based look at how the two stack up.

Experience

Bridgewater: 49 starts, 6 game-winning drives, 5 comebacks, 1 playoff start, 28 years old
