Sam Bradford is the biggest bust in NFL history. you cannot name a person that has made more money who never made the playoffs. If Bradford can make the playoffs with the Vikings this year then he can have the label of biggest bust removed.
this guy gets it...

I read somewhere that paramedics "saved" Bridgewater's leg. If your leg needs to be saved, I think it's gonna take more than a year to return.

Should be significantly better than last year, plus he gets AD in the backfield



It should be better but still I worry with a QB made of glass.

And the Eagles are trying to make up for the fact that they were raped on the 2nd pick trade and the Bradford/Foles swap.

They gave up a 1st and a 4th for a 1 year rental that has a chance to getting them to 10-6. What a horrible deal, and I don't hate Bradford either.

FWIW, Bradford and Bridgewater were very similar statistically in 2015, so unless Teddy was making a big leap this year, whatever hopes the Vikings had this year can still be intact with Bradford.

He has two years left on his deal, so the Vikes have him for next year in case Teddy can't come back.

You mean the wild card? No one thinks they are a SB team. That's like calling the Texans a SB contender.

They went 10-6 last year, Teddy was not that good in 2015, and their schedule is light.

Contend for the Wild Card? That would be a step back.

Bridgewater has more arm action, but Bridgewater may be one of the only QBs in the NFL that is more of a headcase than Bradford

The extra draft pick doesn't mean they should just throw them away and act like it's still not a 1st rounder

i mean they kinda owe to the team(AP) and the fanbase to make a move for a QB. they are set up to win right now. I dont love Bradford but he at least gives them a shot

They had a good shot last year if Walsh makes that kick against the Seahawks

Im no fan of Bradford but the Vikings had to do something.

Had to give it a shot, they are ready at every other position


Yeah, but a 1st round pick for basically a one year stopgap? Don't they think they'll have talent next year?

Moves like this can have long term bad effects if it doesn't work out.

The ESPN article had Chip Kelly as the coach. Does anyone care about Doug Pedersen?

The Eagles take the cap hit with the signing bonus, low cost QB for the Vikings for two seasons. Still wouldn't given up #1
