SteelKing728 Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Just now, vike daddy said: with our line, improved as it is, we still need a mobile QB. yes, but you could probably say that for any team considering how bad Offensive Line play is around the league unfortunately. if Bradford is healthy but not mobile, do you start him?

Vikes_Bolts1228 Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Like I said in the Teddy threddy.... I don't care if Sam wakes up Sunday morning before the Packer game and feels like he did prior to week 1, I'm not putting him back on the field until after the bye. Two of the next three before the bye are games that Case can win (Baltimore/Cleveland). If giving him another 4 weeks off can get Sam closer to as healthy as he can get at this point, I'll hope Case can get at least 2 of the 3 next games and have Bradford down the stretch.

vike daddy Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 On Tuesday, Vikings trainer Eric Sugarman provided an update on Bradford’s condition in a meeting with reporters. Sugarman said that Bradford had an MRI that showed no new injury and offered a different description of the quarterback’s injury than the bone bruise that’s been discussed for much of the last month. “We’re not dealing with a ligament injury to Sam,” Sugarman said, via Andrew Krammer of the Minneapolis Star Tribune. “We’re not dealing with a bone bruise from a direct hit … wear and tear in knee joint.” http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2017/10/10/mri-shows-no-new-injury-for-sam-bradford/ ruh roh.

vike daddy Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 There was a theory gaining traction over the past few weeks that one factor playing into the idea of Sam Bradford missing three straight weeks was coming from the quarterback’s camp. The idea was surrounding a thought that his agent, his family, his conscience started speaking up to protect his contract value. Prior to last night, the last time we saw Sam Bradford on the field he was throwing for 346 yards and 3 touchdowns versus the New Orleans Saints. It was quite literally, the best game of Sam’s career. But he injured his knee sometime during the second half. So the argument then became that he may be protecting himself to protect his value come contract negotiations because playing at anything less than 100% would tarnish what could be a big, final contract in his already lucrative NFL career. https://kfan.iheart.com/featured/vikings-blog/content/2017-10-10-will-we-ever-see-sam-bradford-in-a-vikings-jersey-again/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikesfan89 Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Or did he rush back onto the field because of the teddy talks? Personally I think he should retire after the year while he can still walk. He's made plenty of money over his career. Maybe he could make an early start at being an OC or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingsrule Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 If that's the case, I'd rather just shut him down. If that was his intention all along, why bother playing him. Especially given how bad he looked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SemperFeist Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 I think @NorthCountryEvo has the right idea. Hand the reigns to Keenum until the bye week, activate Bridgewater to the 53-man roster, then place Bradford on IR. During the bye week they can re-evaluate Keenum, and either continue with him heading into Washington, or move forward with Bridgewater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vike daddy Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 NFL.com reported that Sam Bradford traveled to New York last week and had treatments that involve drawing his blood and re-injecting it into his knee over a period of days. This comes after his attempt to return against the Chicago Bears went awry and Bradford couldn’t finish the first half. http://www.1500espn.com/vikings-2/2017/10/see-teddy-bridgewater-back-center/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gnat Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 I agree, Bradford should hang it up, it would be one thing if he was a 6th round QB who had turned himself into a starter a year or so ago, but he was the last of the huge contracts for first overall picks. He doesn't seem like someone who would have tossed away his money on dumb things, so hopefully he has some money to just retire into. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vike daddy Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 what has Bradford made over his career, like $100 million or so? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
