swede700 Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 I'm almost hopeful that he does play Monday night, because I really don't want him going against the Packers cold-turkey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 I wonder if the NFL would allow the Vikings to wrap Sam in bubble wrap except for his right arm? I think the right word for Bradford and his injury history is "fragile." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hyperextending the knee, with little to no cartilage to absorb the shock. Thats the long term concern with Bradford. This injury just doesn’t make it sound like Bradford has a healthy knee, and that these types of injuries could be more and more common as he gets older. There’s also the threat of arthritis in the knee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freakish Mind Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Instead of being listed as OUT on the injury report, he has been listed as questionable. Which is the new Probable. I'm leaning toward an 80% chance of him playing Monday. Lets hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SemperFeist Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Questionable is still the same questionable, as well. Which is closer to 50/50. With the way he was limping around in the videos posted to Twitter by Chris Thomasson, I still don’t like his chances. I certainly don’t think he’d be very effective if he did play.

Vikes_Bolts1228 Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 If Bradford doesn't play, odds are that we will need to start another quarterback in his place to have a chance at winning. I just don't see us having much of a chance if Joe Berger lines up behind center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingsrule Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 I still like our chances if Keenum starts but I'd prefer to go with Bradford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't think he'll be ready yet, given the way he's favouring the bad leg. Keenum had better be able to take advantage of the crippled Bear's defence, and The Vikings' OL had better protect him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put him on a crash diet so he's naturally slimmer, sheathe him in bubble wrap under his uniform and no one will be the wiser.

Guest Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 I think there is great concern in Vikingland regarding the health of Bradford's knee. The play that gives me pause about Bradford playing anymore this season is when Elflein was pushed backwards into the pocket and Bradford couldn't get out of the way. His knees kind of crumbled after barely being touched by Elflein and he grimaced in pain. From the start, it appeared that his passing was effected by the unstable knee. Of course we have to wait for definitive word from the doctors and the training staff, but I am thinking that Bradford is done...maybe even his career! If that indeed becomes the case, I guess we are stuck with Keenum going forward until Teddy is ready. If Bradford retires or goes on IR for the remainder of the year...do the Vikings stand pat with Keenum, Slotter and maybe Bridgewater? Or do they go out and sign someone?

Let Keenum start until Bridgewater is ready. If Bridgewater is ready before Bradford, then tough luck. TB is our guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gnat Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Well, who do they sign, I don't see them bringing in Kaepernick as right now the Vikings are a passing team. You probably have Shaun Hill on speed dial to see if you could get him to return if need be, but I think you stand pat wit Keenum and Slotter until Bridgewater is ready and then you bring in a QB if need be if Keenum or Slotter get hurt. But Bradford seems done for a while anyways and probably should just hang it up with the number of injuries that he's had. Right now our best hope is the Bridgewater is ready to play quickly after week 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
