Everyone loves to make and debate comparisons. Like, go tell a friend of yours who watches football that Johnny Manziel reminds you of Russell Wilson and see what happens. You may be in for a lengthy, possibly expletive-laden, response. Just thought we warn you. Anyway, thanks to Bleacher Report's Matt Miller, we have the strangest comparison ever.

I present you with the greatest QB comparison ever. An AFC North coach compared Bridgewater to...Willie Beaman. I'm not making this up.
Said coach RE: Bridgewater, "He's a dynamic playmaker, but is he the guy you want running your offense? They're very similar."

So, let's get this straight. One AFC North coach is comparing Teddy Bridgewater to Willie Beamen, a fictional quarterback played by Jamie Foxx in Any Given Sunday? Well, there you have it, folks. Bridgewater is a dual-threat QB with a questionable attitude who will most likely make a music video titled "My Name Is Teddy" at some point in his career.  

Riiiiiiiight.
