:(

They should call Jordan Rodgers!

Now that would be EPIC!

Imagine the ratings from all those that watch the batchelor ?

oh my gosh, this sounds terrible.  not to be crass, but what the hell kind of non-contact injury would require an ambulance ride and be so shocking to all of his teammates that they had to cancel practice?  Gotta be some sort of horrible freakish break, right?

His legs are so skinny - that was one of the things scouts commented on as a negative when he was coming out...

 

[Andy Dufresne]

It's just not fair!!!

 

[skol asylum]

Mike Glennon?

AJ McCarron?

Damn, that's too bad.  

Couldn't have happened to a better person.  Teddy is one of those rare players who's likability far outshines their talent.

whoa that would be EPIC.  the man from the tv show

I hope they bring in Kaepernick so I can be forever done with this team. 

 

[snogger]

If they have to choose between Butt Fumbler or McCown Please let it be McCown!!!

Crap, did I say that out loud??

 

[Billy Bats]

That's awful. T&P Vikings fans.

Ouch. That's a season ender... and a mightily painful injury... a shame, really like Teddy.

 

[CheeseCurds]

Mike Vick!

 

[Dr. Octopus]

Peyton?

Wouldn't he have just stayed with Denver if he wanted to keep playing?

 

[Andy Dufresne]

They no longer wanted him. It was a forced retirement.

 

[Billy Bats]

Sam Bradford?

Unavailable.  

 

[Andy Dufresne]

Unavailable.  

I doubt that.

 

[snogger]

Sam Bradford?

I could live with that as they are going to lean on ADP and McKinnion any ways.. I think Bradford would be a decent "Game Manager"..

 

[mr roboto]

How long is Heinecke out?  Stave?

 

[CheeseCurds]

Jeff George

Ugh, not good at all. Cruz has clearly not been the same and we haven't really seen Jimmy yet.

 

[kaso]

Rich Gannon return?

 

[Andy Dufresne]

Warren Moon, Randall Cunningham, Fran Tarkenton...ANYONE!!!

(Except Christian Ponder)

 

[JoeSteeler]

Who owns Bridgewater in fantasy.  And no need for new thread. 

 

[bulger2holt]

Kurt Warner 

 

[Slapdash]

What an unlucky franchise...

 

[d1234]

Dynasty?

2 QB leagues or maybe a backup in a 14 tm league.

 

[moleculo]

as long as we are tossing out names, how about Tebow?

 

[BeaverCleaver]

The Chiefs are shopping Aaron Murray. 

 

[Da Gildz]

It's the worst "football injury" out there.  But that's also more for skill position/mobile players.   A QB can manage fine.  You would think.

That guy is not even a reporter, just some clown that says he "likes to tweet about sports".  His next tweet after that says:

LOL @ getting RTs for a purely speculative prognosis on Teddy Bridgewater. OMG. I have no idea, people. But this is amusing.

They ended practice early, not a good sign. Usually means people were shaken up by what they saw.

 

[CheeseCurds]

Wide Left!

 

[JoeSteeler]

Free agent QB T.J. Yates has been fully cleared from his torn ACL.

 Yes. I'm in a two quarterback dynasty league and he was a very important piece to that team.   I'm also a huge Vikings fan and today sucks.

Has this happened before when a team ended practice early due to an injury?

 

[RenegadeGM]

Problem with anyone they would bring in is they would have to learn a new system on the fly with the season days away.

As unexciting as he is, Shaun Hill is probably the best option in the short term.  He knows the system and personnel and is familiar with his teammates.  As long as he can hand the ball off the ADP and McKinnon, complete some short, safe passes and avoid turning the ball over, he might just be OK.

 

[JaxBill]

as long as we are wildly tossing out names using an elongated windup, how about Tebow?

FYP

Sanchize

hope so

 

[Braktastic]

Hey, no worries, clearly the Vikings believe in Shaun Hill.  I mean why else have him as your backup QB?   :X

 

[CheeseCurds]

He can play for the Vikings and Twins!

I would imagine so.  THe real life impact is huge for the Vikings.

Pretty much guaranteed Shaun will start week one if Teddy is out... then again, this offense relies heavily on the running game so if they pickup a veteran he could learn as they go. But Hill is not the "season" answer.. If Teddy is out they need to bring in someone that could start say week 5, they have a bye on week 4.

Joe Mauer was a highly regarded HS QB prospect. He has to be better than Shaun Hill.
