Mike Zimmer is a really impressive coach

Meh, I feel he's just a more reserved version of Rex Ryan the longer he hangs around. Lot of bark.

Eh, I see that as a limited talent roster that seems to continue to win some games

That team has tons of talent everywhere but QB. They'd be the best team in the NFC with a QB who wasn't a joke.

pulling for the kid...

what to do with Bradford once he is cleared to play???

Bradford is $18m cap hit and Keenum is $2m of cap hit, so I would imagine that Bradford would just ride the bench since we've got to pay him regardless of whether he is on the team or not, and Keenum would be cut due to roster space.

Send him packing. He is done. Dude is made of glass, and he knows it. He looked petrified out there against the Bears last week.

They are running the ball with Latavius Murray and Jerrit Mckinnon

They have a nice pass catching TE, and Diggs looks like a nice WR

And as you pointed out, they have no QB

Teddy Bridgewater is going to change that real quick.

Real quick? Ya think? He's finally been cleared to practice. That's it. He hasn't taken an NFL snap in over 20 months. If you're an optimist, there's no reason to think or hope he won't be able to return to 100% of what he was, but it's also just as possible that he doesn't come anywhere near that. And even if does return to form, it's more likely that he is still several weeks away from starting, if not a month or two.

Give it 3 weeks until he actually starts. The arm and brain didn't die off with the man. He'll be fine.

Dr. Strangelove · Oct 16, 2017

I think we are 2-3 weeks (or maybe more) before Bridgewater can be 100% "game ready" but he is definitely a big boost for the Vikes. His teammates seem to love the kid and he has some skills. With AR out of the picture, it could be enough for Minny to win the division. Also, with what seems to be a really down year for quantity of contenders, Minny has a shot in the play-offs of going deep, imo. I don't see any real juggernaut in the NFC this year. Philly has looked really good so far but time will tell if they can keep up this pace. Some tough games coming.

Thruthefog · Oct 16, 2017

Will the Vikes always be in shotgun formation? His leg fell off dropping back.

Nothing he's done to date has come close to simulating a real NFL game. Making awkward plants with that leg, sudden twists and turns to avoid pressure, Ndamukong Suh stomping on it like he did to Rodgers a few years back.

And there are some players that never learn to trust their leg after something so serious. There's something in the back of their mind that never lets them give it 100%. Not saying this will be the case with TB, but the possibility is still there.

Wonder which QB will be starting for them in December, and which in January.

My money is on Case

And Case/Teddy dueling it out to start next yard with Bradford limping to retirement

All 3 QB's are FA after this season. I see the Vikings retaining one of Keenum or Bridgewater, and then drafting a QB.

It's Teddy time!

My mind spits with an enormous kickback.

Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain
