They should sign Tebow. If anybody can figure out how to use him, it's Mike Zimmer.

Last 3 Super Bowl Champs regular season pass offense ranking:

2015 Broncos 16th
2014 Seahawks 27th
2013 Ravens 18th

it's a passing league, y0

evidently the vikings must really fancy their defense+running-game to go and do this trade, which smacks of some kind of !!!NOT-FUCKING-AROUND!!! that they wanted to get someone cromulent/+ in there ASAP to try and salvage the season. i don't know if i'd call it desperation (cuz tim tebow is still talking about baseball) but i would say that they clearly wanted to immediately get bradford in there ASAP so they went out of their way to give up way too much in order to get the deal done immediately.

honestly, if you didn't fancy yourself a legit contender for the super bowl THIS YEAR i don't think you make this trade right here right now. hell, maybe it's saying something about their own doubts about bridgewater going forward even outside of the injury (or possibly that he might "never be the same" ??) cuz you figure if "sam the ram" (my rams-fan uncle came up with that one) can be who he's supposed to be then he'll be more than a 1yr stopgap/hold-me-over-til-teddy's-back. either way, hey, if the vikings pull a 6-10 or worse this year it will be suitably hilarious to watch it unfold cuz i'm assuming they gave up their first round pick figuring it'd be like 15-25+ and definitely not a top5-10 pick, so if they end up being shit (esp if/when sam the ram gets hurt again) and then they're giving up the #3 pick next year (for their sake you hope ti was a 2018 1st round pick they gave up =) then yeah: one thing that bears fans and packers fans can always agree on is fuck the vikings!

i've been fortunate enough to do more than my fair share of bears games over the last 5+ years, and i can tell you that having experienced something like 10-15 different opposing fans at soldier field over the years that nobody even comes anywhere close to being as bad as vikings fans. they are far and away the biggest pieces of shit en masse that i've ever encountered, and therefore if i'm going to want any team to crash and burn (even without any and all IMU related bollocks) it's definitely the minnesota football vikings... FUCK EM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TLDR = this isn't just run-of-the-mill desperation on the vikings part; i think they really believe they have a legit chance to make a SB run this year and therefore thats why they didn't fuck around to get their guy in minnesota immediately. that bullishness might end up being more hilarious than anything else tbh

Why do you have to use profanity? You're educated.

Bradford got on a plane to Minnesota after the trade was finalized, but it was intercepted on the way.

I'm guessing Rube has never seen Sam Bradford play football. He's definitely not better than Bridgewater or Jay Cutler, and those guys suck.

He was playing for that nut, Jeff Fisher, who can't win with the best talent. No QB has done well in St. Louis since Warner, except maybe Bulger. It's a graveyard for quarterbacks.

I have no idea why Fisher is still coaching football in the NFL. On the other hand, Zimmer has made the Vikings competitive in two seasons and won the North last year. The Bears coaching staff could only wish they were that good.

He was awful before Fisher got to STL, and he was awful last year in the same system that Nick Foles threw 27 TDs vs 2 INTs in. He's a bad QB.

Great point. That's because morons like Bernstein don't realize that because it's a passing league, defense is at a premium, as evidenced by those three teams. Also, didn't New England win one in there, though?

Cutler is much better than Bradford. Bradford is a bust. At least Cutler has justified his draft position.

Let's not go crazy. Ideally you don't want a career underachieving coach killer with your 11th overall pick.

Cutler is much better than Bradford. Bradford is a bust. At least Cutler has justified his draft position.
