    Teddy Bridgewater Career is Over

    Doctors say they can't fix the knee. Sam Bradford trade looks like a brilliant move by Vikings right now.

    Did you talk to the doctor? Bradford is not the answer.

    That sucks. He had a few good games. 5 TDs against the Bears last year. Many QBs play their whole career and never score 5 in one game.

    Where you see this? I've seen 1 report and it's from a guy who hasn't even looked at Bridgewaters knee.

    yeah I think it is just an over reaction from quotes from docs giving their opinion on the nature of the injury

    so yeah total BS

    As long as he can kneel 49ers can always use him as a QB

    They've been saying this since the day after his injury. This isn't breaking news

    Anyone remember Tiger Woods? He won his last major in a playoff with Rocco Mediate. In doing so he managed to blow up his knee instead of withdrawing. Since that incident his wife divorced him and took half his money, Nike is not making golf equipment anymore and he hasn't played golf for a long time.

    And Tiger plays golf and not QB in the NFL!

    That's hard to believe with a non contact injury in practice that his career is over. Very few young players are done because of knee injuries. The technology is so much better than even 10 years ago. Shady McCoy had a bone through the skin, ap had two contact injuries and came back, now the Achilles is another story

    Well, that was informative. So the why from the article headline is that it was a bad injury, no details.

    Did you really just link that to us LT?

    lol

    Pretty much ended Lattimore. This wasn't a good one...from what I understand it was similar. Some guys just aren't built well

    Lattimore was full contact and a rollover. No way can you tear up a knee like lattimore without contact. Chubb even came back within a year of a nasty looking contact knee injury

    No, 14 months to two years to recover. He is doing therapy and rehab and on schedule. 20 years ago - I agree - no shot - 10 years ago - shaky - Start adding up the guys with acl's - tommy John's - etc., etc. it is a big number - this can be done in this day and age!

    Did Teddy even have a career, Bradford may not be the answer, but Vikings weren't going to win anything with Bridgewater.

    The NFL will still be searching for qb's in 2 years. He is accurate - he works out - will build arm strength - he might lose some mobility but look at all the qb's that are not great runners! His arm-brain - timing and eye-hand coordination are his gift - he is not in the NFL because he can/could run fast!
