With the overall health of everyone on the team, I'd be shocked if they dress 3 QB's for the game. There's too many other positions that NEED the protection of a backup on the sideline more.
I'd be surprised as well. Not trying to read into anything too much, but if Bridgewater is inactive, doesn't that tell you the organization might be moving on from him? If you're saying Bradford gives us a better chance to win if Keenum goes down than Teddy, then why the hell sign Teddy next year?
I guess it is a short term vs long term issue.
Bradford might be good to go for a few games this year, but with his age and history, he might not be a long term solution.
Teddy might not be ready now, but might be a viable solution ling term.
My opinion - Teddy doesn't have a future in the NFL. I'd go with Case and sloter. Sign Bradford if he is healthy unless we steal a good prospect in draft
JMO, but that short term-long term logic doesn't make sense. This is bad news for Bridgewater as a Viking if this is true. If Teddy wasn't ready, they wouldn't have activated him as the #2 during the season. The only thing that has changed since TB was active is that Bradford is now 'ready' to play....and the rumor is he'll dress. And if he dresses, why keep 3 QBs active for a playoff game? Doesn't make sense. What this says to me, and maybe only me, is that the team feels like Sam is the better backup option and could win the game if Keenum gets injured.
Now this is still a rumor at this point. But if it holds true, I just don't see TB being a part of the equation for the 2018 regular season. Again, JMO.
3rd QB is only for emergency and doesn't count against the Active roster.

not true. that rule has been changed.
either something is still physically wrong with Bridgewater (or he re-injured something)
And/or he's sucked in practice
Or he's not hurt, he hasn't sucked in practice and Sam is just looking that much better
Or it is just a Rumor. Zimmer said he hadn't decided yet.

you used to be right, but that changed in 2011 when the league expanded the game day roster to 46 players.

Sure, that too...
I've also learned not to trust anything Zimmer says to the press.
Not sure where that leaves us lol!

I think the biggest possibility is that Zimmer loves to f**k with the media

who wouldnt, if I was a coach I would start every mid week press conference with an apology to the fans and then not give the media a damn thing to work with.
