I voted matt plays himself out of a job.
Teddy starts for us in week 11, after our bye week.

Re: Official: What reason does Ted get the start? thread
Notice how none of these things have happened yet? And you're still wondering why Teddy isn't starting?
Seems like you have the answers right there in front of you. You just have to accept them.

Re: Official: What reason does Ted get the start? thread
I'm really surprised people care so much at this point. It's as if the goal is to get Teddy in there just to say we potentially have our franchise guy as opposed to achieving the goal of winning, which Minnesota is more than capable of doing with Cassel.
As far as I'm concerned, I wouldn't care if we didn't see Teddy all year because that means the Vikings are winning. If Matt gets hurt, then Teddy will be ready, but until then...Cassel is the quarterback and he's the guy I'm cheering for.

Re: Official: What reason does Ted get the start? thread
The object is to win football games. Cassel is the man. Until he proves he isn't. I think Zimmer will pull the trigger on Cassel a lot faster then Fraizer did with McFlab. Till then Teddy gains knowledge, and still practices his tail off. And hopefully bulks up. Teddy is the future, don't worry about that. Please don't sound like you want Cassel (and the Vikes) lose the games.

Re: Official: What reason does Ted get the start? thread
I believe you are incorrect? seeing as how "Matt keeps the job for the indefinite future" constitutes one of these things happening yet. kthxFunkytown wrote:Notice how none of these things have happened yet? And you're still wondering why Teddy isn't starting?

Re: Official: What reason does Ted get the start? thread
I think Teddy will start when he's ready and probably won't be till next Season. Either that or if Cassel gets hurt (hope he doesn't, knock on wood) and cannot perform.
If winning isn't everything, why do they keep score?

You sure? The indefinite future has already happened? That's cool. What'd I miss? Is Teddy starting?28BreaksAnkles wrote:I believe you are incorrect? seeing as how "Matt keeps the job for the indefinite future" constitutes one of these things happening yet. kthx
Besides that, "Matt keeps the job for the indefinite future" isn't even an appropriate response to "Why does Teddy Bridgewater get the start over Matt Cassel?"
But my point remains the same...
Patience. Let it play out and hope for the best. There's no way to know; just wait and see. Most of us hope that Cassel remains the guy, because that likely means good things.

And while you wait, here's your Teddy:
I hope that helps! It's the best I can do for ya!

We get it, 28BreaksAnkles. You like Teddy. You don't like Matt. Do we really need a "who's with me" poll?
Allow me to follow up PacificNorseWest's comment with the REAL question here: Would you rather see the Vikings lose so Teddy can play?
Go ahead. I dare you.
Underestimate this man.

Re: Official: What reason does Ted get the start? thread
Did we need an "official" thread when we already have a Teddy thread...and about 8 other threads where this keeps coming up?
