    Teddy vs. Carr.

    Teddy leaves with the win. His team is leading the division, Rodgers in 2nd place.

    Of course the reason the Vikings left with the win was because AD ran for over 200 yards, but sure, ignore that and push your already failed agenda.

    LOL feeling threatened are you. All I said was that Teddy left with the win which is what happened. Never said anything about why his team won or anything.

    Threatened? Not at all, just pointing out the obvious part that you omitted intentionally in order to paint a false portrait of what happened.

    Where is the false portrait of what happened? Did the Vikings not win? Is Teddy B not 7-2 leading the NFC North? You seem on edge. Take a step back Bobby and gather yourself.

    The implication is that Teddy Bridgewater had a large role in the Vikings winning and them being 7-2 leading the NFC North when you know that to be untrue. Anyway, I expect this kind of nonsense from blind superfans so rock on guy.

    Norv Turner is not the right man for Teddy, this dude needs to be canned


    the vikings need to draft some legit offensive talent on the outside. Diggs was a steal in the 5th round, but charles johnson, jarius wright, kyle rudoplh, mike wallace these guys are dont scare a defense...

    go and get Brandon Maarshall type of wideout that can with Diggs speed

    Bottom line here is that Teddy B at minimum, is a game manager guy capable of bringing a team to the Playoffs. His team is 7-2 and we shall see if they can complete their remaining tough schedule with enough wins. Either way, he's only 23 so by definition this kid has a lot of upside. He is a true pocket passer with mobility, appears to have a good head on his shoulders, and is highly intelligent. With those 3 qualities + time, I am not betting against Teddy B. Give the Vikes better receivers and a better o-line and watch him start shining going forward.

    Why is this thread still going? Dude is a game manager who feeds the ball to Peterson and leans on a very good defense.

    Clearly intended implication as evidenced by this comment later.

    It was obvious with the first comment what he was trying to say, and it's what I expect from superfans who want to spin things to try and support an already failed narrative.

    At age 23, game manager is what you realistically expect out of ANY QB. Look down the list of top QBs in the NFL and see when they finally turned the corner, definitely not at 23.

    Look at this study for example.
    http://www.footballperspective.com/quarterback-age-curves/

    Abs tend to peak at age 29. A QB's prime is 26-30. "So how a quarterback plays at age 24 might represent just 40% of the value they’ll provide once they hit their peak."

    Teddy B is 23, is a locker room leader, is known for intelligence, and has a good head on his shoulders. His potential is sky high.

    Teddy Bridgewater has 4th-most passing yards by age 23 in NFL history

    MINNEAPOLIS -- Minnesota Vikings quarterback Teddy Bridgewater celebrates his 23rd birthday on Tuesday. And while he's probably spending part of it trying to pass the next steps in the NFL's concussion protocol after getting hit in the head on Sunday against the St. Louis Rams, he can also take some enjoyment from the knowledge that he's had one of the more productive pre-23 careers of any quarterback in NFL history.

    According to the Elias Sports Bureau, Bridgewater's 4,589 passing yards are the fourth-most in league history by a quarterback before his 23rd birthday. But for Lamarcus Joyner's elbow to Bridgewater's head on Sunday, the Vikings quarterback probably would be third on the list; his long-ago Vikings predecessor, Fran Tarkenton, occupies the third spot with 4,592 yards.

    Tarkenton is the only Hall of Famer in the top four, and the full list doesn't guarantee a career of MVPs and championships. The leader (Drew Bledsoe, with 7,049 yards) had a long and successful NFL career, reaching four Pro Bowls and taking the New England Patriots to a Super Bowl in 1996, but he'll be forever remembered as the guy who stepped aside for Tom Brady. And the second name on the list -- Josh Freeman, with 5,306 passing yards -- is remembered in Minnesota for his brief and bizarre stop in the Twin Cities in 2013 on his way to football oblivion. In his first game with the Brooklyn Bolts of the Fall Experimental Football League last month, Freeman completed nine of his 16 passes for 32 yards and a touchdown, but threw an interception and fumbled five times.

    If anything, Bridgewater's presence on the list should serve as a reminder of how much of his NFL development has come at a very tender age. He's been inconsistent this season, and his ups and downs have inspired some hand-wringing from Vikings fans who hoped Bridgewater would take a clear step forward in Year 2. When he's been on the field as much as he has, it's easy to forget just how young he is. But eight of the top 10 quarterbacks on ESPN's QB Rating leaderboard are over the age of 30, while one more (Andy Dalton) is a 28-year-old who'd posted four years of middling stats before this season.

    Bridgewater's numbers currently lag behind Derek Carr, the second-year Raiders quarterback who was drafted four picks after him last year and will be on the field against the Vikings on Sunday. But Carr is more than 18 months older than Bridgewater, and he's playing behind a line that has allowed the least quarterback pressure in the league. The trajectory of both quarterbacks could look different in five years, but at this point, even though Bridgewater has already logged 20 NFL starts, his 23rd birthday remains an occasion to take the long view.
