Quote:To those Teddy bear fans,

 

It would be wonderful if we had Greg Jennings, Cordarrelle Patterson, Kyle Rudolph, and a VERY GOOD offensive line surrounding our QB.

 

Right now it may seem like Teddy has the upper hand, but in the long run, Bortles will have the better career.

 

Too many inexperienced rookies surrounding Bortles - from the WRs to the O-line. Once they also figure out what they are doing, along with Bortles, this team can possibly become a real contender.

 

The real question is, how long will it take for the rookies - and the team - to get it together?

 

We all know this year is a pass, but we should be seeing positive results CONSISTENTLY next year.

 

I agree with you that Blake Bortles will have the better career.    Yet,  in fairness to Teddy Bridgewater who is a good QB prospect in his own right,   Kyle Rudolph has been out with a groin related injury the last 5 games.  Four of which Bridgewater was healthy enough to play in.    Also,  the Vikings have major problems at both Guard positions,   with the season ending injury to RG Brandon Fusco a few weeks ago a major setback for them.  LT Matt Kalil hasn't often played like a top 4 pick since his stellar rookie season.  When combining this with the loss of Adrian Peterson,   Bridgewater is dealing with an adverse situation of his own.    Bridgewater and his Offensive teammates are fortunate that the Vikings drafted LB Anthony Barr,  who won the game in Tampa in OT,   with pick # 9.
