The Minnesota Vikings had an unprecedented situation heading into the 2018 offseason with three quality NFL starting quarterbacks – all of which were poised to hit the free agent market.
While all three had good arguments for returning to Minnesota, in the end the Vikings elected to make Kirk Cousins the highest paid QB in the league rather than bring Case Keenum, Sam Bradford or Teddy Bridgewater back.

Now that they have landed new jobs, Vikings fans will no doubt be keeping an eye on their production. How does each fit in his new job? Will they have a quality supporting cast? Will health play a factor in whether they succeed? Let’s check out the outlook for Keenum, Bradford and Bridgewater in their new homes…

It all comes down to what measuring stick you use.  Best stats? Best team record? Best performance above expectations?  Best performance above paycheck? 
IMO Case has to do  a whole lot more to justify his $15million than Teddy does to justify his $500000.

Not really, sort of left it hanging IIRC.  Kinda like his deep pass, still hanging.

It was a joke son...

As in, the case wasn't closed.  We didn't win... nevermind.

No problem, I can take a joke in the spirit of things. Go Vikes

I think it will be Bradford rather easily.

Teddy might not see the field.  Bradford will put up better numbers than Keenum.  He's straight up a better quarterback.  The worry about his knee is vastly overstated.

Bradford has only played 38 games over the last 5 seasons...  I would say there is plenty of worry about his health moving forward.

Keenum is with the best team; Bradford, when healthy, is the best player.  I'll take Keenum.
With the new revelations about Teddy's recovery, he's a distant third because of his health and the status of his new team.
