 Re: Right Team, Right Time. - by Case Keenum
Wow unreal. Between that article and the other one I read from Bleacher Report, I love this guy more and more. And to be honest, by the looks of that article, it doesnt seem like he wants to leave here. Even if Shurmur does go.

 Re: Right Team, Right Time. - by Case Keenum
How can you not like him and be excited that he will get it done?

 Re: Right Team, Right Time. - by Case Keenum
Re-sign him right now so he doesn't hit the open market. Deal with Teddy in the offseason.

If he wins the Super Bowl, I will marry him. My girlfriend may get upset, but she'll get over it.

 Re: Right Team, Right Time. - by Case Keenum
Franchise him for next year. They can give him a fair market value and make sure he's the right guy long term without allowing another team to match their offer then, based on my understanding. Problem solved for those worried Shurmur will take him if he gets a promotion to HC.

Assuming the Vikings were to win the super bowl - what's the fair market value for a super bowl winning quarterback in his prime? I'm not sure we want to get into a bidding war. I hope they can wrap it up before it comes to that - you know, if we do in fact win the Super Bowl and Keenum does well.

 Re: Right Team, Right Time. - by Case Keenum
Enjoyed that, thanks for posting it.
So glad to read that he's loving Minny. My physical therapist knows his family and says they're just great people. I love that he appreciates the situation he's in and being on the right team at the right time.

 Re: Right Team, Right Time. - by Case Keenum
If it were me I would offer him a 5yr/$100mil with performance incentives that could earn him $115mil (total) over 5 years.

I love that he loves everything MN. Kinda reminds me of Favre with GB.

If they franchise him they pay him a set price based on market value. Not sure on the exact number or formula, but there is no guesswork if they put the franchise tag on him. Obviously whatever that number they'd assume other teams would offer equal or better and they wouldn't want to take the chance he jumps ship.

Any thoughts as to how much Bradford will ask for? 12 million?

I believe in this team and our QB. Let's do the Saints ugly.

I'm guessing there will be a line in his neighborhood to scoop his driveway.

 Re: Right Team, Right Time. - by Case Keenum
So do we pay this man to be our starter now? He's got his flaws but he's also got a spark about him that we've only seen most recently in 2009...

 Re: Right Team, Right Time. - by Case Keenum
No.. Don't overreact to 1 throw..
If literally (debatably) the greatest play in NFL playoff history did not happen, Everyone would be griping about how our horribly inept and anemic offense managed to blow a 17-0 lead, and get outscored 6-24 in the second half at home..
Let's still use our reason here....

Bridgewater never really played very well. People forget that. Bradford is injury prone. MUST RE-SIGN CASE!!!
