Sam to dress for NO, no word on Teddy

Here's an interesting one -- league source says Vikings plan to dress Sam Bradford on Sunday vs. Saints. He hasn't suited up since Week 5 with a knee injury. Unclear if Teddy Bridgewater will also dress.

It sounds like speculation to start shit and it worked. Speculation only brews more speculation. Like maybe if this were true, it's about giving Sam a fair shot as well and not about Teddy. Both Teddy and Sam have knee issues, the question that needs to be answered is which one do they have more confidence in.

@"Scoog" said: Bradford is the obvious choice if Case is pulled for being ineffectual.  They'll keep Case in until they're sure a change is needed.  At that point we'll be behind late needing quick scores.  Bradford's stronger arm and quicker release can get us more yards more quickly than Bridgewater's.


Not saying I disagree,  but a counter arguement could be that if we are forced into obvious passing situations that sams lack of mobility would be a huge disadvantage and that Teddy's ability to move the pocket and get out when necessary would be a better fit

i personally would go with the arm talent first,  just making a counter point for the hell of it.

Teddy is the obvious choice if Case gets hurt or pulled.     The smarter QB can get to the end zone quicker.  Have to be able to evade pressure.

Case is better eluding the pressure than Teddy.  Bringing Teddy in if we need to come back wouldn't improve that part of the game over Case. 

Bringing an accurate and strong arm would.
