Bradford has the better arm, but right now Case has too many things going his way not to start him. He is more mobile, which is a huge plus seeing as how the O-line will be shuffled some today, meaning mobility will be needed. He has continuity with the team right now, the players feel comfortable with him and he has their trust. It wouldn't make sense to switch things up unnecessarily at this point in the year. Bradford could have a relatively decent amount of rust to shake off, and the playoffs is not where you want to do that. 

 

With Bradford being activated, it sounds like he will step in as the primary backup to Keenum, and Teddy may sit. If the game starts to get away from Case and the Vikes, they could bring Sam in to start a more downfield passing attack to get back into the match.

This. 100% this. Case being mobile is such an underappreciated quality of his when you look at our oline. He is probably directly responsible for 50% for how much better out oline has looked. 

No one is questioning that Bradford has a better arm, in fact I'd go as far to say that Bradford has top 10 passing ability in the entire league. When Bradford is on he is virtually unstoppable.

But since Bradford might just be the most injury prone player in the league and because he is almost certainly very rusty and because Case is healthy/mobile/surprisingly been very great at passing the ball and because he is actually the guy who has played for the entire year and lead us to where we are he deserves to start.

Bradford has no business being considered to start unless Case gets injured. 

I'm going to be so pissed if we don't resign Case. We'll be returning the same team and Case has proven that he works really, really well in this system.

The only problem is that we won't be returning the same system.  In all likelihood, we will be working with a new OC next year.  Who knows what kind of system he will have?
