Kyle Sloter will likely be inactive on Sunday, Zimmer said. Bridgewater will be the backup for Keenum.

Zimmer says #Vikings will probably only dress 2 QBs Sunday. So if Teddy has to play, what's the level of confidence he can function? "100%."

Zimmer says Bridgewater is ready to play now but Keenum will start this weekend. Who will start going forward will be decided on a week to week basis.

      Mike Zimmer said Case Keenum will start on Sunday. Teddy Bridgewater is ready to play, Zimmer said, but the Vikings are "trying to get him ready to where everybody feels comfortable with him."

Sam Bradford had said doctors told him they expected his knee injury to not be a long term issue. So did the Vikings. Mike Zimmer said nothing changed with Bradford’s knee, it just didn’t get better.

Zimmer won't rule out Bradford for playoffs. Says Teddy Bridgewater is ready to play in a game but Case Keenum starts Sunday.

Basically what I noted yesterday. Contrary to the idea of only starting Teddy, you can't make him inactive on gameday. If the Vikings are only going to dress 2 QB's he has to be your #2 ideal or not.

Once Bridgewater is at a point where everyone is comfortable with him, does Zimmer want him to start? "We'll just see how it goes," he said. "Case has done an outstanding job."

I will say this, there's never a dull moment for Viking fans.  B)

That's great news about Teddy.  I really do hope we see a 100% ready, focused Teddy playing soon.  Case has done a nice job, but we need more big time plays from our QB, and hopefully TB is the answer.

yep.  The season will rise and fall on either Keenum or Teddy.  Not Sloter.

Well...no I'm not going to say it. Couple months ago some d-bag named StickyBun jokingly posted that Sam Bradford was "out for the season." We all had a good laugh. And, well....

There were a lot of us who feared the worst for Bradford. Too bad it had to end this way. He has a Golden Arm but that knee will never be the same. He will have to sign a 1 year prove it deal and will need to compete for a starting job. I don't see that being here when we will need to resign Teddy and Case assuming we can keep them both.

& with even more twists than the TV Game of Thrones !

You know, with all the marquee QB's going down, maybe the Vikes have stumbled onto a new model to follow...
3 average QB's that rotate on an "able to play" rotation, all overshadowed by a dominating D

As I've said elsewhere, it's Zim's job to put in whoever gives us the best chance.  If that's Teddy, OK.  If that's Case, OK, but then we need to alert the scouting department to look at the 2018 QB class.
