Bridgewater returning?
Twitter rumors from several pretty solid twitter sources are strongly hinting that Teddy has been or is within days of being cleared to practice. The rumors seem to be that he will come off the PUP sometime this week. If this is true, things are about to get crazy.
I will be very happy for him. He may be ready structure wise, but what about his confidence with the knee? That may be what Jimmy was talking about. Maybe hes really favoring that knee and its all in his head. If so, i fear he will damage his other knee.
15% chance of rain. team moves practice in doors.
hmm

heavy severe storms across western minnesota and moving towards the cities. golf ball size hail and torrential down pours. they dont want any more knee issues than they are already dealing with.

eh, im dumb. i dont live around minnesota. i put too much faith into a forecast listed in my weather app.
I really like Bradford and he has done a nice job for the team. But man do i want to see Teddy back he is just the perfect face of the franchise and more of a clutch player.

so you never lived in San Diego. Lots of places say it, but honestly we can have snow in the morning and be golfing in shorts in the afternoon. I have actually water skied on the same day as a snow storm... but that was when I was younger and a lot dumber. (it was freaking cold)

No not SD. But through out the midwest and east coast. Now working from home in Florida. I use to do the swim out to touch the ice on Lake Bemidji....

me and a buddy in HS prided ourselves on being the first in and last out of the local lake every year. I remember breaking through ice late one drunken night to take a swim.
I am looking forward to watching him prove people wrong. I am rooting for him.

If he is cleared, I will assume he is ready.
I am more interested in his deep ball accuracy after the time off. He struggled with accuracy in his career if I remember correctly.
I hope Bradford does very well and we have any qbs capable of supplanting him.
Two stages of being cleared.
Cleared for practice and cleared for Games.
The grey area is how does being cleared to practice while not being cleared for games come into play as far as contract tolling, or pup eligibility.
It seems the league still doesn't have a good handle on these designations and in the end the team could be in a sticky situation because of it.
I just want the best QB running this offense, whomever that may be. Teddy is beloved by teammates and the organization and Bradford got rave reviews last year and into this season. Not sure what is going to happen.

Not sure what is going to happen.Exactly what I've been preaching, I want whats best for the Vikings.
That said, unless something really awful happens between now and opening night vs Saints, Sam is the starter and will have every chance to play for a long-term contract here. Not sure where that leaves Bridgewater.
Just like the Vikings situation with AP after he went off on his child, this leaves the Vikings in a bit of unchartered territory.
Their best tactic is to remain patient and I suspect buy themselves more time putting #5 on ice for the 1st 6 weeks of the season.
