Rigotz Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 I'm surprised to see fans clamoring for Alex Smith when there's a 25 year old QB out there who threw for 3,000 yards and made the pro bowl within his first two seasons. Oh, and if his contract isn't tolled, he doesn't cost us the 2nd round or 3rd round pick that we would have to give up for Alex Smith. Higher upside... we get to keep ALL of our picks ....why is nobody talking about Teddy Bridgewater? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm Spartacus Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 I'm thinking his severe injury should have forced him to retire, it was that bad. If he had an amazing rehab this past year, and get back to form we should bring him in for a look-see. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bangarang Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Throwing for 3000 yards and making the Pro Bowl as an alternate isn’t impressive. His knee exploded a year ago so if he’s cheap and healthy then sure go for it. He can compete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victory Formation Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 I've talked about him, I'd like it. He could compete for a starting spot, draft a QB high and let them battle it out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeGOATski Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 He's my favorite possibility vet. But I don't want them bringing in any vet. Draft their guy and start him day 1 or incorporate him in slowly behind Peterman. I'm willing to ride the waves while they develop their guy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wayne Arnold Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 This is a tough one. I absolutely loved Bridgewater in college. Thought he was an accurate, pure pocket passer who could dissect defenses and that the Vikings had the steal of the 2014 Draft. Had an okay rookie season but I was underwhelmed by his play in 2015 despite being voted to the Pro Bowl. He didn't improve nearly as much as I thought he would. But I still anticipated that he would take another leap in his third season in 2016. If he passes all physicals and medical exams, he's worth bringing in at a reasonable price. But I can't help but shake that feeling that he's not as good as I thought he'd be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt_In_NH Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 I never watched him play much but from looking at his stats I would rather stick with Tyrod.

Lfod Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 I have thoughts and I waited for some one else to make a thread before I expressed it. This isn't even me saying that he's an injury risk. When Kelvin Benjamin came in, he got smacked right on target. I could see the dudes leg vibrate. I seen Tyrod and Peterman get targeted in the head helmet to helmet. At some point some ones gonna go for Teddy's leg. That's all I wanted to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Murica Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 I'm not that keen on Teddy. I thought he was going to be a very good QB in this league. I remember some scouts claiming Teddy had the film study habits of Peyton Manning. Yet, it that doesn't translate into his stats. Seems to be more of a game manager. This has been the Bills fan bases biggest discontent with Tyrod, won't lose you a game, but won't carry the team on his back to victory. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rhythm method isn't working too well for Teddy. He's a 3000 yard 14 TD guy. We have that in TT, plus TT can score with his feet. 3 minutes ago, pimp on da' net said: So how is he a younger, less mobile TT?

paulbills Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 (edited) Bridgewater is crap, no offense. He started every game 2015 for the Vikings, 14 TDs 9 INTs 200 yards average a game and a 88.1 passer rating is nothing special, especially compared to Tyrod's 20 TD's and 4 INTs 215 yard average and 99 passer rating that year.

TigerJ Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 3 hours ago, John from Hemet said: So Bridgewater is not under contract with the vikings? All three of Minnesota's QBs (Bradford, Bridgewater and Keenum) are scheduled to become free agents as of March 14 (I think). Minnesota will certainly try to extend one or two of the three before free agency begins, and let at least one go. The QBs have to agree to this, of course, but the speculation is that Bradford is the most likely to be let go. Case Keenum is probably the QB the Vikings will try the hardest to extend, so it is an unknown at this time whether Bridgewater will be available or not.
