I disagree, if both are healthy. Bradford is a better QB right now and has some relevant experience in this offense. If both players are equally healthy, you play Bradford over Teddy but neither replaces Keenum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heimdallr Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 I would MUCH rather have Bradford in than Teddy if Keenum gets hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's the case, I assume we play it out as long as we can. If someone gets hurt during that time frame then he gets activated, if not he goes back on IR. He's eligible to return wildcard weekend. I think after that we have 3 weeks to either activate him or release him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More importantly, Pat Shurmur would likely rather have Bradford. HE and Bradford go back a long way. I assume Bradford will become the backup if he is taken off IR. I still like Teddy better than Bradford myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gopherwrestler Posted December 26, 2017 Author Share Posted December 26, 2017 I would cry if Bradford had to come in, in the playoffs, and look like the game he did against the Bears. Also, Bradford is just eligible to practice, who knows if he is healthy enough to practice. Still sad Sam had to go out like this. Love him as a QB.

They should have a better idea whether he can play or not. They are definitely not going to feel like they need force him out there like they did earlier when he was considered the starter. And I think people need to keep in mind there are lots of injuries that would leave your mobility severely impaired 3 weeks later, yet would be completely healed 3 to 6 months later.

I think we forget how good he was and I'm not sure Keenum can play at that level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthCountryEvo Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 What scares me with Bradford right now is his mobility. One of the things that has made Case so successful this year is that he is able to move in the pocket and avoid sacks, which gives the receivers time to make more moves and get open. Case being a smaller QB and being more elusive has probably made our line look better, and I don't think you get anywhere near the same level of elusiveness from Bradford if he were to be as healthy as he was week one. Then again, if we play the Saints in the playoffs, it would be fun to have Bradford go out and blast them like he did week one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is a great QB to have as a backup but I don't want him to be the starter for the Vikings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But in terms of who id trust more to start, Bradford or Teddy, I don't know what argument could be made for Teddy if assuming equal health. Perhaps mobility would be the the only benefit with Teddy.

gopherwrestler Posted December 26, 2017 Author Share Posted December 26, 2017 Remember when everyone debated who should be our starting QB going forward, Teddy vs Bradford? Now we are debating who would be the better BACK-UP QB, Teddy vs Bradford. All of this due to the one and only....Case Keenum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
