Bradpool’s coming home?

Does anyone think Bradford could give us 19 starts? Massive gamble... No...its not a gamble...its damn near a sure thing he will breakdown physically... I'd rather pay Cousins and I really don't want Cousins at all...

Yep, Bradford is risky. But the team is enamored with that arm talent, its obvious every time the staff discusses him. They light up like a Christmas tree. 

The sad thing is he's probably the only guy that could get the team 19 starts if that means a Superbowl. 

I think Zimmer and Sam struck-up a closer relationship last off-season. He was on fire @ TC too. Too bad and a shame, I dont trust him to last 19 games either.  

Dont know what the Vikings are going to do @ QB. Especially with Geoff saying he doesnt believe Bridgewater will be back.

That kinda leaves the guy from Washington, Keenum or Sam to pair with Sloter/vet pick-up. 

The Vikings got to have a quarterback that can really push the ball down the field and of the three, only Sam has that kind of arm strength and accuracy.  If they do re-sign Bradford, I think the Vikings will do everything they can to solidify the offensive line either through free agency or the draft.   Sad to see Case and Teddy walk, but they just don't have that kind of arm strength.  Their passes just have too much air underneath them and more like lofts.  I just hope Bradford's wheels don't fall off.

If Sam is the choice, we better have a steller O-line because the name of the game in the NFL today is “get to the quarterback and make him UNCOMFORTABLE”.

i am not casting my vote for Case but he does have that “spidey sense” and elusiveness that allows the offense to still function if the line is not 100% (unless its the Eagles in the NFC game).  I do think Case survives in situations that Sam gets injured in.

Still wish we could take all our QBs and meld them into one.

From reports this morning, looks like Cousins is Job 1 for the Vikings if they can work it out. If not, one of the trio of Bradford, Keenum or Bridgewater.

All three qbs on our roster are risky in one way or another. That's just it. It's a matter of determining which level of risk to go with or do you introduce a new level of risk.

I think its safe to say that all 4 in consideration have question marks when you factor in the money it would possibly require to land cousins.

After Zimmer makes the statement about Sam's knee, how could he come back to the fan base and state that he gives the team the best chance to win?  The statement about his knee being degenerative is one you can't walk back from.

But didn't Bradford reinjure his knee outside of a game last year? Sign all the OL you like, they can't follow him around all week keeping him from tripping.

There's a still a part of me, I dunno if it's wonders or wishes, that Bradford would have gotten a shot against the Eagles when our offense had no life.

Resigning him at this point would just make me feel a little sicker with that. I guess along with Keenum earning his keep was a notion that Bradford just wasn't getting better. ... A lot of people were surprised to hear he was skiing recently... 

I dunno. More or less, the mere idea makes me go back and question how dumb that thought was. I mean, I was very comfortable with Keenum. After the loss, any thoughts I had of Bradford making an appearance that day washed away in the reflection of Keenum and our season overall. Now... damn it... Imagine having foresight of the future a week before the NFCCG, knowing Bradford was the guy we ultimately resigned in the off-season. Lol... it's kinda bizzare...

If we think so highly of his ability, how hurt was he at the end? How much respect did Sim have for Keenum at that point? ... lol, did Rick call down to the field and break down the killer discount we'd get on Bradford next year if he sat on the bench all game (that's just a joke, lol).

Lol, point being... the idea of resigning him just makes me go back and dwell and wonder about stuff that ain't going to change anyways.

Let's see...Walker trade...Drafting Darrin Nelson over Marcus Allen...Drafting Derrick Alexander over Warren Sapp...trading Moss...Yeah, I can see Bridgewater being let go ranking right up there with building a dynasty in Dallas, Bypassing two HOF players, and trading the second WR to be a first ballot HOFamer...Yup...
