Bridgewater, who said he's spoken "a lot" with Donovan McNabb for guidance, is accepting of his leadership position, which should only grow with his standing as the starting quarterback.
He plans to get together with his receivers in the offseason, saying he wants to bring the group to Florida to work with them. Receiver Cordarrelle Patterson already said he plans to spend time working with Bridgewater in the offseason.
"It will be very important," Bridgewater said. "We just want to continue to build on the momentum that we have right now. We have an understanding of what the coaching staff is trying to do here. We have a great understanding of the system now. It will be pretty exciting heading to this offseason and heading to our second year in the system."

I'm guessing McNabb's first piece of advice was "Don't keep hurling the ball into the ground at the feet of your receivers like I did, or the Vikes will bench you!".

This would have been my first piece of advice to Teddy. Then whatever Ponder told you on the field, do the opposite.
Don't hate on my Buckeyes. Some of the best Vikings went to Ohio State.
Including now, HOF WR #80 Cris Carter

Sorry, but I'm one of the dummies who was excited to get McNabb that year. I thought it one of the best possible situations for Ponder.
Turned out to be dog doo....
I thikn you meant "fetal" position... Fecal position sounds disgusting.
The Devil whispered in the Viking's ear, "There's a storm coming." The Viking replied, "I am the storm." #SKOL2018
Something I stole from another board. I know Teddy does not have 16 games, but it's something to think about for the first 4 games of next year, a yardstick say to measure his progress.
Vikings fan since Nov. 6, 1966. Annoying Packer fans since Nov. 7, 1966

I'm hoping his advice is something more like "work on your mechanics and footwork so you don't end up consistently hurling the ball at the feet of your receivers"

If there were just some way to remove Tebow, Palmer, and Cutler from that list, I'd be a lot more optimistic if I saw Teddy's name pop onto it.
