Re: Young Theodore Bridgewater

That's one reason. He's breaking down. He's battling groin and triceps injuries (the latter will require offseason surgery) in addition to coming off of ACL surgery last year. Since week 6 he's produced more than 35 yards receiving exactly three times. He has two touchdowns all season. He's been ...

I agree. Why not take the chance? The Vikings need to get better at the WR positions and maybe he can help.

If the kid doesn't show he has what it takes, then he doesn't make the final cut.
Who do you want to give up for him, Thielen or Wright?

Re: Young Theodore Bridgewater

Wayne right now? No. I don't know if he's even an upgrade on Greg Jennings.


He beat Jennings in production as his teams #2 WR. You can point to QB talent, or scheme, or overall offensive production, or % run/pass, or whatever you want to point at, but he still produced more as the #2 than ...

Re: Young Theodore Bridgewater



He's also got a top 1 defense. top 5 running back...

What does Luck have? Like Peyton before him, he's surrounded with pretty average talent that he makes look a lot better than it is. And an average, to slightly above average defense. And he's still got them at double digit wins every season ...

Re: Young Theodore Bridgewater

I don't have huge issues with the article that was posted of QB rankings, except that it irks me that Andrew Luck is always given a free pass into "unquestionably elite" status (and Kaep is NOT better than Teddy). Andrew Luck is a good quarterback, has good odds of being a really great quarterback ...

Re: Young Theodore Bridgewater



I certainly agree that the running game contributed to low scoring production but then, I think the inconsistency of the entire offense contributed to it.

In the latter half of Teddy's starts, he had a few series where he came out off/flat (the back to back picks against the lions being the ...

Re: Young Theodore Bridgewater



Well, it sounds great but how did they arrive at it? How many of those completions were simple check downs (Asiata alone had 44 receptions this year).

There's a lot of focus on TB's completion percentage, accuracy under pressure, etc., much of it encouraging (especially since he had some of his ...

Re: Cris Carter's son to visit Vikings on Jan. 9

I don't really want him, because it would mean either dumping Theilen or carrying 6wrs without drafting or taking any in FA. Jennings isn't going anywhere unless another veteran WR falls on us in free agency.
Carter's CFL stats are alright, but its the CFL. I would be stunned if he ever makes more ...

Re: Greg Jennings takes Cordarrelle Patterson under wing



I hope so too but my biggest complaint about the coaching staff this year was the way they handled Patterson. We're obviously not privy to everything that happened behind the scenes but it sure seems to me like he was shuffled off into Norv's doghouse. I realize he had some issues with route ...

Re: Greg Jennings takes Cordarrelle Patterson under wing

Jennings is a high character guy which is why they wanted him to sign. He is big on work ethic and details, exactly the kind of pro we want CP learning from.

For the guys down on Jennings, is his low productivity a result of his making poor plays or because of poor QB? Jennings makes the tough ...

Re: Young Theodore Bridgewater



I've already seen Bridgewater in the media discussion for the award but it will be a pretty big upset if it doesn't go to Odell Beckham Jr. Frankly, I think OBJ should win it. He's been phenomenal.

I'm inclined to agree. If all of the fluky ints and no-TDs hadn't gone against Teddy, I think it ...

Re: Greg Jennings takes Cordarrelle Patterson under wing

I will stand behind Patterson. He has all the skills and size to be an All-Pro receiver. I really like Jennings and his attitude, he reminds me a whole lot of Cris Carter on and off the field, maybe not quite as good of hands as Cris but pretty dam close.
I hope that he does take CP "under his wing ...

Re: Young Theodore Bridgewater


How realistic is it for him to win OROY?

Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

He would need to beat out OBJ and Carr, OBJ had a pretty ridiculous season. For some reason, even though Carr has been worse than Teddy both statistically and per the eye test (still good though), he has been getting ...
