Bridgewater returning? - Guest - 08-29-2017 Quote: @BlackMagic7 said:I think Heineke has a bigger upside than Keenum in that he has an edge to his game that could either be a great attribute... or a great heart breaker. Keenum is like vanilla pudding.... its dessert, but its not really worth calling dessert except that its something to eat after supper. Bridgewater returning? - Guest - 08-30-2017 Im not sure where the sources were getting their information, but whatever they thought they had didn't pan out. Have a hard time thinking Teddy would be cleared to return to practice over a week ago, and still hasn't returned. Maybe there is more going on behind the scenes that we know, with his contract and all or maybe the speculation was purely false info? Either way, its starting to look like Teddy will head to the PUP to start the season. Best case scenario for the team anyway, IMO. Keep him under contract thru next season.

I can see the Vikes keeping him on the PUP until the deadline honestly and then when he comes on the roster he is the 3rd QB for the first few weeks of the season. Bridgewater returning? - Guest - 08-30-2017 Teddy Bridgewater - QB - Vikings Vikings coach Mike Zimmer believes Teddy Bridgewater (knee) has "progressed a lot," but is uncertain of when he might return. "He’s got to be able to protect himself on the field and be able to do the movements that are required by his position," was Zimmer's response when asked what Bridgewater must do to be cleared to practice. Bridgewater is all but certain to begin the year on the reserve/PUP list, sidelining him for at least the first six games. Sam Bradford is being backed up by Case Keenum.

Bridgewater returning? - Guest - 08-30-2017 I hope we don't release Heinicke and lose him to another team. Kid's got some serious IT factor. Keenum's been solid and deserves the #2, but exposing Heinicke could be a big mistake.

Bridgewater returning? - Guest - 08-30-2017 Heinicke's lack of arm strength is alarming and it limits him big time. I don't see the love for the guy. All this gushing over a guy that was playing against absolute scrubs on that last drive.

Bridgewater returning? - Guest - 08-30-2017 Quote: @StickyBun said:No kidding...isn't there a current thread about former Vikings that were envisioned as rising stars here but have been waived early by other teams (Charles Johnson, Audie Cole)...? For the strong Heinicke supporters: isn't even the most optimistic ceiling for his potential that he might turn into a decent backup QB, someone who could play a game or two if needed, like Shaun Hill or Case Keenum?? Or is there actually some belief that a couple years from now, Taylor Heinicke could be a starting NFL QB with the ability to lead a team to the playoffs and beyond? |
