FOX NFL pregame. So......there's that. Well, the curse continues. Bridgewater potentially coming back soon is very good news, however.

Yep. Vikings need to draft a QB in round 1, let he and Teddy duke it out and go from there. No guarantees with Bridgewater as far as re-injury. I mean, I'd love it to be Teddy but who the heck knows?

QB in the first two rounds is damn near mandatory if true...and Glazer is one of the best...

I really thought Bradford would be our guy, but "bone on bone" = knee replacement. He should be retiring for the sake of his own quality of life in the future.

If Sam's career is over then we don't have much choice...we have to draft a QB. But according to most scouts, it's the best year for QBs since '83 (the year of the QB for you Millennials). But I'm with PF, I do NOT want to watch another rookie develop. Team is built to win now.

Hopefully Teddy makes it back to where he was before. And don't forget that we also have one of the best young developmental rookie QBs waiting in the wings, too. Probably can't expect him to play for a couple years, but it's good to have.

Might be hard getting a QB when the Vikes are drafting 32nd.

Zimmer just said at his presser that this report isn't true, take that for what its worth.

That's good to hear, but I'm not sure I trust much of what Zimmer says, especially about injuries.

He has a bone bruise. They heal slowly and are painful. But they heal. If Keenum can keep the team in contention for 3 or 4 more weeks, Sam could be back, for a playoff run. He's the most accurate passer the Vikings have had in a while, and though his career could be in question, it won't be from a bone bruise. Yes, he will likely need a knee replacement in his 50's, but not now.
I fully expect Bradford back. If that happens, the Vikings have a chance to be the first team to play a home game in the superbowl.
Waynes, Alexander, and the offensive line are all playing better, and despite the loss of Dalvin Cook, Shurmur is calling some great offensive plays for the players he has.
If Bradford can't recover, there is a possibility Teddy will be back.
The glass appears to be more than half full to me!

Grabbing a QB in the first 3 rounds would be a wise move. Both Bradford and Teddy are good QBs, but their injuries make it hard to know what to expect going forward. Teddy does have youth on his side, but we need to see where he is first before we start thinking beyond this season. Keenum has introduced an interesting wrinkle into things and could be a decent midterm option if they draft a QB early, but I'm not sure what it would cost to keep him. It's a weird position to be in, but regardless of who they decide to keep going forward, they would be wise to spend an early pick on an insurance QB.

I heard the kid on KFAN...Damn smart, articulate, seemed like a lot of common sense for someone so young. If he's got the ceiling they say, the arm and accuracy?

He could be a strong contender for the Vikings down the road.

I have a feeling the Redskins have started-up the Brinks Truck, getting ready to back it up at The Cousins' residence.

If Teddy gets back on the field, looks good, and avoids any set backs I wouldn't spend a first on a QB.  Maybe a late 2nd or 3rd.  If Sloter is looking like they expected when they went after him hard that would be a waste of a high pick.
