It is. It was my fault for activating him in the first place. With the name I should have known better.

I think keenum plays this week and I think, if healthy, they need to play teddy after the bye. If teddy is healthy they need to see what they have. Is he the long term answer? I don't think Bradford is here after the year is over and if teddy is not the long term solution then they need to make a move on cousins. I understand he will be expensive but this team, this defense, is ready to win it all. I firmly believe that. Imagine this team right now with one of the young quarterbacks. Imagine this team with wentz. How good would it feel to have that security for a dozen years. I really hope teddy can come back and be a playmaker, really lead this team. If not, I fear this team will fall apart and the opportunity wasted.

Everyone here has made silly statements about what's best for the team, but it should be noted you have thrown rather backhanded insults around (as others have done too). That is against the rules. Want my opinion? Stop arguing and drop the subject. We're all friends here and I'd prefer it stay that way. It would be a shame if you and PHP were banned over something silly like Teddy vs. Bradford and stats that are not infallible.

Agreed and thank you. And again, my apologies for continuing on with him. When he started to come after Kapp and I, that's when I started to lose it. Hopefully it's done and over with and he is gone.

Unfortunately, no news on Sam. The Vikings have been remarkably tight-lipped about him since the Chinese fire drill in Chicago.

Only word is that he made the trip to London but sat out Thursday's practice.

Case Keenum was limited, as well. Sure hope the O-line can keep him clean Sunday. Last week, he didn't even take a single hit. We need that again. Really don't want to hand the keys over to an untested rookie.

This QB situation is playing out like a daytime soap. "As The QB Turns". Will Teddy play again? Will Sam ever start for the Vikings again? Case you missed it.....lol

Sam is ruled out for sunday according to a notification I just received from the NFL app on my phone

Yeah they'd be stupid to play him. We play Cleveland and the bye is next week. Give you two more weeks rest

I stand by what drunken me said last night lol. If Bradford is able to commit to air travel for that long, he must be in better shape than thought, in my opinion at least. I don't think we'll see him play obviously, but I got a good feeling after the bye to be honest.

I think after the bye week they'll need to see what they have in Bridgewater. I think there may be some concern in the Bradford camp about his injury history.

This may have been said earlier, but honestly I don't want to read the whole thread to check. If Sam's knee was truly hopeless they wouldn't have wasted any time putting him on IR to free up a roster spot. So either there is some level of legitimate hope he can play again this year. Or they are playing a waiting and see game. Maybe they are planning on activating Bridgewater and then putting Sam on IR effectively giving Teddy Sam's spot on the roster.

It's such a curious situation.

That could be too. Never really thought about it that way

I'm afraid the didn't expect the severity of the injury, and at this point they're just hoping to have him back by Week 16 in case Teddy can't go. I don't think there's any real optimism surrounding that knee anymore.

NFLN reporting he's still dealing with pain and won't be ready soon. No timeline for his return.
