That's brutal for Teddy, at least a couple years to get back, could be his career.

Yes, worse then thought. Dislocated knee, full tear of ACL, other structural damage. Very bad, even for a young guy, that will be tough recovery for anyone, never the less an NFL player.

I wouldn't wish that on anyone, divisional rival or not. Good luck, young man.

Dislocated knee. Brutal. That's Shawn Livingston esq.

Wow. If, true, that really could be career ending. If it's not 2017 might be 'optimistic'.

The Vikings were really on the right track. Don't tell me about any retread they can buy for a 4th round pick. By the time they successfully rehab or replace Teddy, AP skills will have diminished; he's already 31 with 10 years. He might actually be retired by then.

I actually feel bad about this. It's so hard to climb the mountain. I know how I would feel if this was Rodgers.

Internet doctors pre-MRI have been out & about on this one. Hopefully they're wrong

Fully torn ACL. Expected to make a full recovery.

This is spot on, this particular injury to this particular QB and this particular team right now puts the Vikes in a really odd spot. Clearly they are good enough to compete still, but what do they do at QB going forward? Their WR core is young and had been working with Teddy, AP will either be cut in March or have to renegotiate, defense is solid, but a half of that core is over 30. They viewed Teddy as the glue of that offense going forward, now their hand is going to be forced to use capital to get a QB next March/April.

Holy f'in sh1t! I had no idea this thread went off the rails. Anyhow, I've lopped off a ton of posts, some probably legitimately about football. Sorry, but the extended Kaepernick conversation didn't belong...no need to start it up again, or keep going.

Captain Stillman: Well, explain yourselves.
Dewey Oxburger: We were going to the Bingo parlour...at the YMCA. Well, one thing led to another, and the instructions got all fouled up and...
Captain Stillman: Shut up.
Dewey Oxburger: Okay, Sir.
Captain Stillman: You men are a disgrace! Maybe a few days in the stockade will help you change your rotten attitudes.
Cruiser: But um, we're supposed to graduate tomorrow, sir.
Captain Stillman: That's even better. Tomorrow you're going to be on parade in front of General Barnicke. And when he sees what total unnatural carnal knowledge ups you really are, I will personally recommend that the whole platoon will repeat the entire course of basic training.

Chico would have been proud

Wait ... what did Kaepernick do? Did I miss something?

Rocky brainwashed us all just like the Packers do their players, right Greg Jennings?

Go Pack Go.

Did I hear Stave got hurt too? Cripes. Vikings have nothing left. Bet Ted thinking same thing. Callahan on 53.

You can't quote 'Stripes' without "...lighten up, Francis."

That's a beauty, but the dialogue preceding that was precious-the name's Francis soyer, but everybody calls me psycho. Any of you guys call me Francis and I'll kill you. Any of you homos touch me and I'll kill you...then the classic-LIGHTEN UP FRANCIS

I thought Bradford might be an option for Vikes, but wow, that is a horrendous trade. I'm shocked by the compensation.

jsglow · « **Reply #244 on:** September 03, 2016, 10:08:50 AM »

They did pay a lot. And either in 2017 or 2018 they'll have to pick between the two. But this move puts the Vikings back in the playoff race in their new stadium. Gotta give them credit for trying.

ChitownSpaceForRent · « **Reply #245 on:** September 03, 2016, 10:13:36 AM »

The only issue I would have with that price if I were a Vikings fan is that Bradford isn't exactly the most durable QB.

tower912 · « **Reply #246 on:** September 03, 2016, 10:28:59 AM »

Bradford is a desperate answer to a desperate situation. In no way should he be confused with a long term solution.

DegenerateDish · « **Reply #247 on:** September 03, 2016, 10:32:52 AM »

I don't understand who the Vikes were competing with in the marketplace for Bradford's services. He could have been had this offseason for a mid/late round pick.

The Vikes must know Bridgewater isn't coming back for 2017 to have made this deal.

Agreed. Way too heavy a price for a one year rental.

Sam Bradford puts them back in the playoff race?

Is there a different Sam Bradford that I don't know about?
