Star Tribune saying Teddy is the #2

And he might be. But then my question is why make Bradford active then? Zimmer has never had 3 QBs active on game day before. I don't get it. 

I guess I'm trying to put logic to a situation that might not be logical?

Just gives them options and messes with the Saints heads. Maybe depending on the situation (hail mary) they put in sam to sling it?

How does it mess with the Saint's heads? Keenum is starting. 3 QBs in case they want to do a hail mary? That seems really goofy. I'm not trying to bust your balls, but nothing makes sense if he's not named the #2. Maybe its just a dumb move in general and means nothing about Bridgewater....I guess that's possible.

Good cause it doesn't mean a thing.  It just means the vikings have 3 real QB's as options.

Just sent Charlie an email recommending several elder-care facilities in the twin cities that can help with his oncoming dementia.

Has Zim ever been in the situation of having a playoff game and the starter has no playoff experience,  and the next 2 QBs are both coming back from extended absences with no game experience to shake the rust loose?   Today is kind of unique and that may change how he approaches the most important position on the field.   I would be more comfortable with 2 unknowns at backup instead of just one.

jimmy, if Z has to go to a backup, the game is lost anyway. 

I get that you are trying to make sense of it like everyone else.

I've started and stopped a reply to this about 3 times...I've got no idea why they would do this at this time in this situation with these QBs...the best...Nope, that's just a dumb idea too...

I don't think this is true.  What if the Vikes are ahead at half, and Case gets a concussion early in the third?  Who would you put in to salvage the win?

I would go with Sam. 

Or - if you are down in fourth and Case is ineffective.  Would
you trust Sam or Teddy to bring us back?

Yes, of course if the change were injury related. Z is not making a change if the score is close, won't happen.

This is exactly where I am at. It seems extremely dumb or it says a ton about Teddy's future with the team: one or the other. And honestly, what does this say about their feelings on Keenum? 

[Guest]

I have a totally different theory.  Sam captured lightning in a bottle in Game 1 against the Saints.  This is a team, and that Game 1 started us on the bumpy road that ended 13-3.  Zim is using his Tsu and wang chung to reward Sam and bring the team together to recognize that win, and stoke some form of karma and luck that Sam brought.  It's a way to say, "hey, he was on the field for that win, and we are going to allow him to at least dress."  It has absolutely no meaning that Sam is the #2 backup, nor that Teddy has been designated #2 backup.  If Keenum performs (again), there is no need.  But think about this for a second...you have wunderkind Keenum on the field, and not one, but two former #1 picks behind him...doesn't that just mess with your head a teeny bit, if you were the Saints?
