Like Ponder, he turns it over too often. I think that's the source of a lot of the criticism.

Cold is temporary. Purple Pride is forever.
Thrilled?

So now it's a scramble to grab McCown, Sanchez, Yates, or some other castoff to play behind Hill.
I agree with you a 100%. It frustrates me....
So if we get McCown, and have Hill would they be considered grumpy ole men?

He couldn't beat out Siemian for the starting job in Denver. He hasn't shown to be anything close to a competent starter other than 2 seasons with the Jets that were about 5 or 6 seasons ago.

The key word is Zimmer says injury is "significant" says it's non-contact

I hear you. It's aggravated me for almost a decade now. I've argued passionately about the need for the Vikings to dramatically change that approach since the early days of Tarvaris Jackson's stint with the team. I know you've been in favor of changing it too. It amazes me how often it's been met with resistance when the consequences are so obvious and so significant. Now here we are...
... and we
still probably wont see a change in Spielman's approach.

Zimmer is really, really emotional.
On what he draws upon in times like these, Zimmer says he has talked with Bill Parcells, and "in spirit" his late father today.

I/we cannot know until later, but it is sounding structural damage of the tib-fib joint.
EDIT: Also could involve a dislocation of the tibiofemoral joint
Not pretty.
Keeping you on my mind Teddy.

.@RapSheet just said some Vikings players were throwing up on field at how gruesome Teddy's Knee Injury was. Sounds like def. more than ACL
