Queens Get Sam Bradford

[Anti-Polar Bear]

That's because you're a Packer fan.

Johnny Football would look good on the Love Boat of a few years ago, not on this version of the team.

Manziel has the tools to be a successful NFL QB. He's like a young Brett Favre: A wild horse in need of a little taming. Nobody remembers b/c it was before the TMZ, but Favre was a jolly player, too, in his youth. Can't even run the scout team in Atlanta cos he partied too much.

Suffice it to say, Johnny Football is a poor man's Brett Favre.

vikings trade hunk of future to catapult from 6-10 to 8-8 this season.

Well, OK. Since Teddy Bridgewater is not Joe Montana, you don't think the Vikings roster was ever Super Bowl ready.

In that case, it was a dumb move. But your assumption is arguably very wrong.

He didn't need to be Montana. But better than Hill would be nice.

[Tony Oday]

Bradford would make the Vikes better and beat out Teddy if he was healthy.

Teddy is out 18 months so he will be in no shape to play next year until the playoffs.

Hope their offensive line is astill bad as last year or this could be trouble.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Tony Oday making sense. Not that there is anything wrong with that.

I find it odd that twice traded Bradford would be considered an upgrade to healthy Bridgewater. Though I grant that decisions made by the Rams and Eagles might not constitute quality professional judgement.

Albert Breer @AlbertBreer 16m16 minutes ago
Per source, the 2018 fourth-round pick that the Eagles get can become a 3 or even a 2. Triggers based on Vikings team success with Bradford.

[HarveyWallbangers]

I think it's a good move by the Vikings, but it's a lot to give up and Sam Bradford is a bit brittle. Teddy is slight and you always worried about him staying healthy. The same applies for Bradford. For this year I think it puts them back into contention for the division. I don't think it puts them over the top though.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Allotta of QBs out there are probably better than Hill. Heck, why not just bring back Christian Ponder after the Niners cut him later today?

1st and 4th for Bradford looks dumb now at this point in space-time. If Rand was still around, he would say that's a move not even Sherman would make.

We'll see. The Vikes are better under Zimmer but still pretenders IMO as far as Super Bowl contention is concerned. They also have some major pieces that are in decline. Obviously just my opinion, but they need to compete while continuing to build - not go for broke.

I didn't see that opinion expressed anywhere. We'll see if Bradford is boon or bust in a month.

[Guiness]

This could be history making! Has a team ever lost 2 QBs to a torn ACL in the same season before?

Can't believe they have up a first and more for him. Philly is paying the lion's share of his salary (11 of 18 million) so this almost seems like the Vikings sold the draft pick. They get him for at best 2 years, but probably 1.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Standing pat with Shaun Hill was a defeatist, unacceptable path. If you don't like Bradford, you really have to propose a better risk.

[Fritz]

Sam Bradford scares you?

Man, Tony, that seems crazy. The defense scares me. AP scares me. But without The Bridge, this team, at best, looks like a run-first, dink-and-dunk offense that won't get any further in the playoffs than last year's team did. At best.

If I were the Vikes GM, I'd sign Johnny Football. The talent Mr. Football has a 4 games suspension looming, but he's probably gonna need about a month to acqiure intermediate knowledge of the playbook anyway.

Good news for the Packers, Bears and Lions. Zimmer isn't too fond of Johnny Football.
