Worm Guts Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 I don't know what the right answer is, but I do know it's tough to walk away from something you've seen work. We've seen the Vikings go 13-3 with Case and if we have playoff success, it will be tough to walk away from the known commodity. That doesn't mean signing Teddy for less wouldn't be the better decision, but I think that decision looks worse if he fails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if Pat leaves us as OC, its still going to be a tough decision to "let Case walk", if Case plays well in the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn't entirely up to the Vikings unless they want to put the franchise tag on Case. Anything less than that is letting him walk. Whether he comes back to whatever the Vikings offer is up to him. If I was Case's agent I would be advising him to not sign anything before the franchise tag deadline unless it gives him more guaranteed than he would get under the tag. As his agent, I would want him either getting the tag, getting more than the tag would give him, or getting to the open market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Objectively though, I still believe they are going to pick Teddy for next year regardless of what happens, but especially if Shurmur gets a job elsewhere.

I generally agree with all this, with the caveat that a super bowl win by Case would make it a very hard sell to fans and players not to keep him. I think he keeps the job in that scenario. The hard thing is that both he and Teddy are so well liked publicly, and by all accounts inside the locker room. Either way there will be some mixed feelings.

Excited to hopefully be a bit more visible than I've been in recent years; life is busy, but I recently started a role that naturally requires more screen time - not that I'd be on the forums during work of course, just inCase my boss is out there .

V1K3S Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 In a perfect world, I'd like to see our depth chart look like: 1. Case Keenum 2. Teddy Bridgewater 3. 2nd/3rd round rookie I don't think we'll be able to keep Keenum AND Bridgewater though. I can't see us letting Case walk and I think there are probably at least two or three teams out there that could be interested in signing Bridgewater and making him their starter next year (Denver, Arizona, Miami). I doubt we would be willing to make that same commitment and Teddy would probably make a lot more money elsewhere if we re-sign Case. So, give me Case on a nice 3 or 4 year contract and a rookie that we draft in the 2nd or 3rd round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingsrule Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 I think you're more likely to see Teddy and a veteran FA vs Keenum and an early pick. Why spend an early pick on a QB if you bring back Teddy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
