Vikings no longer have flawed approach when it comes to QB depth

As much faith as the Vikings had in Teddy Bridgewater two years ago, it didn’t take long to see there was a flaw in their approach to the quarterback position.
Bridgewater, the final pick of the first round in 2014, was expected to be the Vikings’ quarterback for many years to come but behind him the team had veteran Shaun Hill, undrafted 2015 free agent Taylor Heinicke and undrafted 2016 rooie free agent Joel Stave.
Hill was 36 at the time, so he was going to be nothing more than a mentor to Bridgewater. When Heinicke showed up at training camp in Mankato wearing a walking because he had severed a tendon in his left foot, it was clear that if anything happened to Bridgewater the Vikings would be in trouble.
Of course, nobody could have predicted that Bridgewater would suffer a catastrophic injury to his left knee just before the season. That forced the Vikings to trade a first-round pick to Philadelphia for Sam Bradford, who started the final 15 games after Hill handled the opener at Tennessee. The Vikings got off to a 5-0 start before missing the playoffs by dropping eight of their final 11.
