I would argue that a defense that was top 5 in points allowed and Adrian Peterson were the main reasons for their record. But as with any young qb, he is still growing. But his production wasn't anything irreplaceable. On 8/30/2016 at 9:01 PM, Blokestradamus said: Nobody is denying that Teddy hasn't got a cannon but his placement is exceptional. Deep balls are not sustainable, intermediate throws are. That's where Teddy thrives. I've watched every game of his sophomore/junior years, every game as a rookie and a handful of games last year. I'd still take Teddy 1st overall in any draft and as my franchise QB. When you have the highest amount of 7-step drops and the worst pass blocking OL in the league, the finger points to Norv. So, you're biased. I like a lot about his game but his arm does worry me a lot. I think his ceiling is Chad Pennington, who had a solid career. But I don't ever see him being an elite qb. I could be wrong though.

Fadingpain Posted August 30, 2016 Posted August 30, 2016 Significant knee injury; testing at hospital going on; don't know extent of it yet Mike Zimmer doesn't know how long he'll be out; could be season ending

Just my personal thing but I don't actually look at stat lines before I watch a QB. I just evaluate the skill set, production is a by-product of many factors. I count blown OL assignments and drops as I go. Teddy's skill set blew me away. Of course I'd love the arm to be stronger but Tom Brady is HOF bound without hitting a consistent deep ball for as long as I've watched football. I'm not sure what his ceiling is. He's not like many QBs I've ever watched. I wholeheartedly believe there is something special about that kid, on and off the field.
Kemp2Warlick Posted August 30, 2016 Posted August 30, 2016 Ian Rapoport @RapSheet 1m1 minute ago #Vikings coach Mike Zimmer says there is no timetable yet for Teddy Bridgewater. He admits it’s “possible” it’s a season-ending injury.
Fadingpain Posted August 30, 2016 Posted August 30, 2016 Any hope he plays this season? "I don't know; doesn't look good right now." They sedated him; he's getting an MRI right this second
Blokestradamus Posted August 30, 2016 Posted August 30, 2016 I can't even watch Zimmer. Just hearing the details alone, I'm close to tears.

I really do like a lot about TB's game. But if he can't make you pay deep, teams are going to crowd him and take away the short stuff. And Brady had a stronger arm than Bridgewater. Bridgewater also has the advantage of playing with one of the great rbs ever.
Fadingpain Posted August 30, 2016 Posted August 30, 2016 PC is over. Didn't say too much conclusively. We'll need to hear back from the hospital probably tomorrow or whenever.

Bridgewater also has the advantage of playing with one of the great rbs ever. He was starting to hit the deeper stuff in practice. Sounded like the scheme was changing to fit him. This would've been the year to write a conclusive book on Teddy. Now we might never know.
Peter Posted August 30, 2016 Posted August 30, 2016 Has anyone blamed Rex or Doug yet? This quote is right on the money and very touching. Perspective.
