Queens Get Sam Bradford

[pbmax]

Yea, I saw it on twitter and thought it was an ok move.

THEN I saw what the compensation was.....ouch.

He did look decent the last half of the year and in the pre-season. Guess we'll see.

Its a decent hedge against Teddy being in medical trouble next year. But man that price was highway robbery.

Yea, I'm fine with the move but they paid far more than I ever would have thought. They have an extra 3 & 4 next year. That helps flexibility but man that #1 is steep.

Roseman’s price tag in April (once he moved to No. 2 to pick Wentz) was two 2nd-rd picks. Teams scoffed. He got 1st-rd pick & a 4th-rd pick.

Majority of Vikes fans here in the Cities love the deal from what I've seen and heard.

On twitter they hate it.

I think the 4th is in 2018.

One theory is he'll start week 2 against you guys, not week one.

It's just so late and cost so much for a QB that's really only slightly above average. He'll have to mesh with teammates in a hurry.

I'm with ya Zool. It's probably a non-issue by mid season but early it's a huge game of catchup. Would Hill and Stave been adequate? Probably not. As PB mentioned, it's also a hedge for next year. If he sucks or gets hurt then obviously what was the point of doing it.

Yeah, but most Minnesota residents are a bunch of idiotic, left-wing, commie bastards who don't know a butt hole from a sewer pipe. The know even less about football!!

Yeah might be looking to 2017 I suppose, but as someone else said, that first rounder next year could be that QB of the future if Teddy has Culpepper knee.

Bad situation all around for the Vikes, but that's reality I guess.

Hey, not to drag politics into it but my state virtually never backs my party.

Anyway, fuck you for the insult.

Maybe that's why Minnesota is kicking Wisconsin's butt politically? Maybe they'll send us a conditional 7th rounder for Scott Walker.

ANYWAY...I'm joining this section late...Here's my take Rastak, Vikes get a serviceable QB, and if he proves can lead the vikes, they have him on contract for as long as Teddy could be done for. Heard from multiple sources this could be more than a 1 year deal for Teddy...could even threaten his career. So if that is the case, you get a guy in Bradford who could manage the game for you, and still be good enough to makes some passes. If AP's body stays the way he has been, Vikes could still be contenders.

That is a great sig opportunity. Wait a sec, I'm a MN resident! You sneaky bastard!

Classic Ras...

All my peeps are Minnesotans, other than the ones I married or sired myself. My family are real Lake Woebegonian types. They may eat Jello molds and drink Tang for breakfast and come in from the fields at 10 am for a cookie and a cup of coffee. But my uncles would be able to make, fix, re-build, weld, cut, put in, take out, level, or turn any sewer pipe you've got into something else if need be. The leisure suits and Viking thing kinda counts against them but they live where they live.

I am as well and absolutely love it since it's so freaking true.
