Re: 2017 Season General Comments (pressers, practice notes,
For either QB to get any sort of decent contract they need to get healthy and play for extended time and at a high level. Right now, a team would be nuts to sign either to a big contract and tie up all that cap space in a injured may never play again guy.
Sam seems destined to be a backup if he can get somewhat healthy. Healthy enough to be a fill in guy for a few weeks here or there. Teddy I'm not sure, I hope he can get back close to his previous physical health because he has the most upside at this point. Sam is old and broken down with his- arthritis? Two ACL's isn't exactly a franchise QB.

Re: 2017 Season General Comments (pressers, practice notes,
Bradford can easily start for a lot of teams out there if healthy. He's not a "fill in guy". Case Keenum is a "fill in guy" and Bradford is well above Keenum when it comes to skill level. Again your outlook on Bradford is so far skewed its not even funnyFireSpieldope wrote:For either QB to get any sort of decent contract they need to get healthy and play for extended time and at a high level.

The last sentence (emphasis mine) intrigues me.Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer remained coy about Sunday's quarterback situation, not naming Case Keenum the starter.
Keenum was listed as "limited" in practice Wednesday because of a chest issue. Keenum is 3-2 as a starter and has led the Vikings to four victories, including the second half in Chicago, while Bradford continues to be missing from practices with lingering issues in his left knee.
"I don't know," Zimmer said of his starting quarterback. "We'll see."
Teddy Bridgewater practiced Wednesday and is expected to make the trip to London. When asked about Bridgewater's status, Zimmer said, "I think I know what I'm doing, but it's the medical clearance at the end of the day."

Re: 2017 Season General Comments (pressers, practice notes,
He's a fill in guy because nobody in there right mind would expect him especially at this point to stay healthy on that messed up knee. Skill wise he might be marginal starter material (I rank him about 22-24 range) but with his injury concerns and arthritis, just forget it.Pondering Her Percy wrote: Bradford can easily start for a lot of teams out there if healthy.

Re: 2017 Season General Comments (pressers, practice notes,
Diggs, Keenum and Reiff all practiced in full and are likely to play Sunday.

Re: 2017 Season General Comments (pressers, practice notes,
We are on the same page as far as Teddy goes; I'd be fine with a short term type of prove it deal with him some guaranteed money....especially if he comes back this season and looks good. Sam on the other hand I'd let him walk before I gave him Cousin's type of guaranteed money (23 million range) . Its just too risky IMO, knowing what we know regarding his knee. I realize Sam would be a hot commodity around the league and demand some big guaranteed money, if healthy. I am sure he will get some interest from teams around the league even after this injury (if he comes back) I just hope it isn't in MN. It would be too desperate, there will be better stop gap options out there for that kind of money. I don't see him as a franchise guy, at least not here, not after the latest injury. He has had some tough breaks in his career. I just see this as another one of those tough breaks for Sam. I think its time for Sam to look into life after football.dead_poet wrote: Because look around the league at quarterback play. Assuming Sam's injury isn't chronic, there's a 100% chance he gets paid, with guaranteed money. Sam has "proven" himself, especially with last year under his belt. Teams need to see Teddy healthy and dealing before they'd shell out any $$ for him given how long he's been away and the severity of his knee injury. It honestly wouldn't surprise me if some team gave Teddy a short-term deal with some guaranteed money as a "roll the dice" chance as part of a QB competition. But you're right, they need to show up on the field again.

I appreciate you giving me your "expert" rankings for the 13th time.

Re: 2017 Season General Comments (pressers, practice notes,
Good post DP. I agree. Bradford will definitely get paid if this injury proves not to be too serious. Teddy on the other hand has been out of the game over a year and a half and the severity of Teddy's injury alone was probably equivalent to Bradford have two ACL surgeries. No matter who you look at, both are very delicate knees at this point.dead_poet wrote: Because look around the league at quarterback play.

Since Bradfords injuries, he has came back and performed at a fairly high level. Especially the last few years.
Teddy on the other hand, hasnt been able to show anything YET. If he comes back and can perform at a high level that would be great.
Bradford will get guaranteed money before Teddy will if they both come back healthy. Nobody is going to know anything until we see Teddy in live action again.

Myles Garrett (concussion) will not travel with the team to London and will not play in Sunday’s game against the Vikings.

Re: 2017 Season General Comments (pressers, practice notes,
Not sure how I feel about Diggs playing this week. Obviously it's great when he's in the lineup but if he sits, he'll effectively have had a month to recuperate. I'd hate for him to have this bother him the whole year because he rushed back.

I agree. Groin injuries are like hamstring problems. They have to completely heal or they will come back to bite ya.S197 wrote:Not sure how I feel about Diggs playing this week.

Re: 2017 Season General Comments (pressers, practice notes,
Bradford, Weatherly, Sirles not practicing. Expect Keenum to start vs. Cleveland.
