Vikings get raped, trade for Sam Bradford - Panthers relevance

[OneBadCat]

Would rather have Matt Moore than Sam Bradford.

Bridgewater is the single most accurate passer through first two seasons in NFL history. 

Let's make a prediction now, and then we can revisit this later. I predict that by the end of Bridgewater's contract he will either be a backup QB, or out of the NFL. What do you predict?

I'd be hesitant to accept here, not because of skill, but because he might take more than a year to recover. How about this: in his next year as starter (minimum 8 games), he'll have a winning record?

Really? Stats say otherwise. Bridgewater's 79.3 % led the NFL in adjusted completion percentage last season.

Bradford is the best paid QB that nobody seems to want, long term. 

Then why not have him like up the skies with his wonderful passes? Air it out. Why would the expert NFL Viking coaches limit him as much as possible? Because if threw the pass more, and attempted actual difficult throws, then the Vikings would have no chance at the playoffs.

The thing is that the Vikings, assuming their defense remains elite, can have a winning record with just about any QB. If we go too far into the future with our prediction, then we'll never find or remember this thread. But I'll make this long term prediction anyway. Bridgewater will end up a career backup, floating from team to team.

I thought the first was bad enough, but a first and a fourth? Holy crap!

Rick Spielman's not an idiot, but damn!

It gets better, the 4th round pick could be as high as a 2nd based on performance...

They have to make the NFC Championship/win the Super Bowl this year for that 4th to escalate to a 2nd/3rd. The 3rd rounder would still sting but I'm sure they wouldn't mind if they pulled off the SB win.

so basically it's going to be a 4th rounder

poo like this is why people think we could get something for DA.

I mean you'd think Bradford wouldn't be worth even a 4th rounder much less a 1st and a 4th but here we are... never been QBs getting paid premium for nothing....holy poo seriously this makes DA trade threads legit b ecause apparently there is a market for backup QBs or QBs who will never amount to anything.

Just has some of us wondering when can we fleece some teams. we couldn't even trade Peppers, SMitty, Hardy, or Norman and 2 of those are HoFs...I don't get this poo.

and his 14-12 TD/INT stat is crap...but yea they call him captain checkdown for a reason. My boss is from Minnesota and a big vikings fan...he lives here but has season tickets and makes their home games...yea vikings fans aren't fond of him but you are right he can throw a mean 2 yard pass for a checkdown.

My God the Vikes did get ass raped by Philly.

This move does make them better though in the short term and will make the game more competitive.

Big time.

And now we've been raped by Bradford and the Vikings.
