Does it really matter who?
I mean, honestly...does anyone care who gets us to the Super Bowl at QB? This year or next year? Doesn't it just matter that it happens? Keenum, Bradford, Teddy, Mother Goose, who gives a shit? I like Teddy as much as the next fan, but if he goes somewhere else next season, then he does. The team is freaking 13-3 with Keenum; who could have done better? Wins is what this all about.
And I say this willing to totally get behind Teddy again if that's the route they go in 2018. But, IF....IF the rumors are true about deactivating a healthy Bridgewater to put Bradford in at #2 for this game, then the writing is on the wall. The Vikings have a golden opportunity to play at home all the way to and including the Super Bowl. The time is right now. There's no time for potential hurt feelings, etc., grab the freaking moment by the neck. If the team feels Bradford gives them a better shot of cleaning up after an ineffective/injured Keenum in the game Sunday, then I applaud them. Look what Nick Saban did in the CFB championship game, that took BALLS. Luck favors the bold.
I care about the jersey, not the name on the back. Let's put the guys out there than give the team the best opportunity to win in any circumstance.
I care, I want to see the Vikes succeed, but I would also like to see them succeed with Teddy at QB in the future. However considering how little we as fans really know about the health and abilities of our QBs, I am perfectly comfortable with those that are in the know to choose the best option for the team and to run with it... we will get over it.. eventually. well some of us will anyway.

I just want them to succeed. I don't care who. I like Teddy, he's a great kid obviously. But so is Case. And so is Sam. I wish them all well. I'll get behind whomever. I'm emotionally pragmatic as a fan.
I can understand wanting to do it with our guy, a drafted pick, a guy we watched grow
up in the system, Teddy as example but there is something special about doing it with a guy like Case, being undrafted etc.

mine isnt to say that the team success doesnt trump my wanting Teddy to succeed. its a have a cake and eat it too thing for me in this instance but I am always team first.

Totally get that, jimmy. I'm really speaking to the fans that will have a little shine of a big win if Teddy isn't the QB. Or have tried to marginalize a great season by Keenum (MaroonBells) because they are Teddy fanboys. I just don't get that part. Its certainly their right to feel however they'd like, but...I'd take Betty White rolling to her left and firing a 7 yard TD to Diggs to win the game Sunday all day long. It doesn't matter to me who, just that it happens.

classic... i really miss the days when the superbowl was full of that type of creativity in the ads... now its just a matter of who can make us say WTF louder.
No, of course it doesn't matter who the QB is if that QB wins the Super Bowl. What matters is the QB they commit to in the off season. That said, the ideal situation is that this QB is one and the same. And therein lies the dilemma.
our long term solution for QB has little to do with the rest of this season
@"Poiple" said: our long term solution for QB has little to do with the rest of this seasontwo separate conversations typically, unless we are talking about the reports of Teddy not being active and Sam is. That to me might talk to the coaches confidence in Teddys abilities or durability vs Sams.
Not to me. you wont find a bigger Teddy fan than me.
But there is no way that I want to see him playing in this years playoffs. He isnt ready. I wish he was but he isnt. I dont blame him. An off season and a training camp getting first team reps and then some meaningful time at preseason and THEN I look forward to him bringing home back to back Lombardis

I dont see the huge difference in Sam being away for essentially 4 months and back a week, vs Teddy being gone for about 14 months but now having been practicing for 3 months.

That is what I don't get. Having a different opinion, reading the tale of the tape a bit differently and so you have to call them out and call them names.I don't care who wins the first SB for us. Right now, I am hoping Case because that means we sail through with the least amount of drama. He is our QB for this year.
Next year? I will debate that in the offseason. Likely I will be wrong, because I am a Viking fan through and through.
Nope, dont care who as long as there is a win in my lifetime...
Fan of the team more than any one individual player.
To me Case is a much more seasoned Vet who has a better arm, reads defenses better, has played in this system and played more recently.
I dont think Sam is anyone’s longterm answer as a franchise qb. Teddy might be ours.
It would be a great story to see Teddy step in and win a superbowl. It doesnt seem realistic or fair to expect it though

So stating my opinion on our QBs as honestly and objectively as I possibly can makes me a fanboy? Fuck you.
I think people question objectivity when they prefer Teddy to Sam. Its hard to be objective with Teddy’s great story.
In the end the coaches are the only ones who really know and we are all just guessing. Not worth fighting about.
For fucks sake. We are Viking fans coming off a bye. About to get revenge on NO.
And we are fighting over this shit?
