OldTimer1960 Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 I think a 1st and 4th is a lot to give up for Bradford at this point in his career, but he is talented and competent. Who knows, could be a very good situation for Bradford. I was sure that Carson Palmer was done when he left Cinci and then again when he left the Raiders, but he put together some good years in Arizona.

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 Sam Bradford is a historic player in like 10 different respects. This is a guy who has been paid more money and picked or traded for more high picks with the least amount of production of any guy probably in any sport.

/dev/null Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 I would have risked Cardale as our #2 if they would have given us their #1 pick. Holy smokes. I would have risked Austin Trainor as our #2 if the Vikings had given us their 3rd round pick for EJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C.Biscuit97 Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 Wow. Well the Eagles had the Vikings over a barrel. Did they though? Shaun Hill has a 85 qb career rating. Bradford is at 81. Giving up a first for Bradford is crazy. I would maybe give up a 4th. Maybe. And there seems like there is a lot better than Bradford for that price.

OldTimer1960 Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 I've got news for you: no team is going to ride a running back (especially one who is 30 yrs old) to the Super Bowl in 2016. If the Vikings make a run in the playoffs, it will be because of their defense and because they got decent QB play. That's just the way it is. And AP is not much more than JAG at this point. I disagree that AP is JAG, even now I don't think many defenders really want to tackle that guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freddie's Dead Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 @TomPelissero Source confirms: the #Vikings have traded for Sam Bradford. They gave up a 1st-round pick in 2017 and an additional pick in 2018. Shoulda been EJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mannc Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 I disagree that AP is JAG, even now I don't think many defenders really want to tackle that guy.Probably true, but he is 31 years old, and the point remains that even a great RB can only take you so far these days.

I was sure that Carson Palmer was done when he left Cinci and then again when he left the Raiders, but he put together some good years in Arizona.Why does everyone say he is talented? Because he was a first round pick almost 10 years ago? He looks fragile in his pads, doesn't have a special arm, and can't stay healthy. I swear when people talk about Bradford's talent, I feel like I'm huffing glue. I remember him being a guy people wanted here and it just blows my mind. His best quality is that he played for an elite college program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freddie's Dead Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 And that worked out great!!! They gave up a stupid amount to replace 14 td passes. If Bradford is worth a 1st and another pick, perhaps we could have gotten a 1st for EJ. Definitely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy who lead the NFL in rushing despite having a qb who makes Fitz's arm looks strong is JAG. The best running back of my lifetime is JAG! This post is the equivalent of the Bradford trade. Awful. I wouldn't even give up a 4th for him. It's like trading a 1st round pick for glass Goodwin. That's what kind of risk it is. Quick, get the Vikes on the phone!!! Maybe they are still drunk. And I will settle for a 2nd and a 2018 conditional 4th for Goodwin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freddie's Dead Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 I'd be interested to know if the Viqueens called for EJ and what the Bills wanted for him. Maybe they said NFW, but if MIN was willing to throw out that many draft picks for a never was like Bradford, maybe we could have gotten two 2nds or a 2nd and 3rd for EJ. This is exactly the kind of ridiculous offer that the Bills should have entertained. A 1st and a conditional 4th for Sam Bradford? YGBFKM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eball Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 Wow, did Philly fleece the Vikings or what? I understand Minny's desperation, but holy cow. And please, folks, can we quit already with the completely uninformed speculation about what conversations did or didn't happen between the Vikings and Bills?
