Re: 2014 Vikings Training Camp notes/interviews

FOX Sports' Jay Glazer reports rookie Teddy Bridgewater has already begun splitting first-team reps with Matt Cassel at Vikings camp.

Glazer reports there is "hugeeee optimism" about Bridgewater among team brass, and he's "definitely been more impressive than they expected." Cassel remains the ...

Re: Don't bet your last dollar that Cassel is the anointed o

I don't like Jaworski but I agree that Matt Cassel is the worst starting QB in the NFL, if he does end up being our starter (I'm praying he won't be). I'd rather have Ponder as the starter than Cassel. Even an unproven rookie like Bridgewater would probably be an upgrade over Cassel.

Re: Vikings' "top plays" ever (voting needed for Kramer TD)

I learned to never take ESPN seriously about anything, especially after they said that Allen signed with Seattle when he hadn't yet. Ben Goessling, their beat writer for the Vikings, is awful. He's a horrible writer and his opinions suck (he thought Freeman was a good QB and was certain that Frazier ...

Re: Your prized Vikings posessions.

I've kept everything I've ever received from attending training camp - newspapers, schedules, roster lists - dating back to 2009 (maybe earlier, I can't remember). I also have a ticket and program from the preseason game against the Chargers that I attended in 2012.

My prized possession is a ...

Re: Christian Ponder to share Vikings' first-team reps

I think his wife is ugly (actually, I think blonde hair is ugly on anyone - reminds me of Nazis Germany when they wanted everyone to have blonde hair and blue eyes). Anyways, here's an update from OTA's:

"All three Vikings quarterbacks got an opportunity to run with the first group, and Christian ...

Re: Christian Ponder to share Vikings' first-team reps

I don't know where all this trade talk is coming from but I've always had the feeling that the Vikings haven't given up on Ponder. Spielman pretty much said during the pre-draft press conference that he doesn't think Ponder is a bust. He also acted like he didn't want to draft another QB. He said ...

When he was 9, Teddy Bridgewater promised he would buy his mom a pink Escalade.

Except he didn't buy it. Cadillac gave it to his mom for free for publicity. :roll:

Re: Training Camp Battles

I'm really looking forward to the QB competition. I think it's funny how every article I've read since we got Bridgewater completely fails to mention Ponder. They always say that it will be "Cassel vs Bridgewater" or they just flat out say that Cassel is the starter but I really think Norv Turner ...

Re: Bridgewater starts when?

Everyone is going to think I'm crazy, and I am, but I think that there will be an open competition during training camp and Ponder will win the starting job. I think Norv is going to help him tremendously and he will be able to beat out Cassel for the job though I think it will be a close ...

Re: What are your intial feelings on Bridgewater as a Vike

I'll admit it, I'm disappointed with the pick. I think we could have used our 2nd pick on a good defensive player and still gotten a decent QB in the 3rd or 4th round. I don't think we needed a QB as badly as it appears so I feel getting one in the 1st round is a waste of a pick. Norv is supposed to ...

Re: Your top 5 favorite and least favorite Vikings

My Top 5 Favorite Vikings (in no particular order)

1. Christian Ponder - I really don't know why I like him so much because he isn't a good quarterback (not horrible, just not good). I just really like him. I think I might have a crush on him or something. I don't know. I definitely don't think he ...
