Haven't had a QB with killer instinct since Favre, and that only lasted a year. At 21 years old, Teddy's gonna give us a lot more than one year.
Anyone else have flashbacks to Troy Williamson dropping a wide open bomb in Denver?

Bridgewater was 9 of 10 for 95 yards and 1 TD on 3rd downs in yesterday's win. #Vikings #GUMP
He doesn't exactly have a many good WR's. He has one. And luckily, a good receiving TE in Ford.chicagopurple wrote:You all realize that we are rank 31st in the league for our passing offense, right? Teddy has a lot to prove.....
I would like to see the Vikings land DaVante Parker in the draft this year. I have no clue what round he will go in though. I see him range anywhere from the 1st to the 3rd. Either way, he was Teddy's main go-to at Louisville. He's a deep ball WR standing at 6'3 and does an excellent job of getting open. He can also jump through the roof. He was hurt this year but just posted 9 for 132 yards in his first game back. Parker, Patterson, Jennings, Wright and Johnson would be a very good looking WR corps!!PurpleKoolaid wrote: He doesn't exactly have a many good WR's. He has one.

It's about that 4th down play where he escapes pressure and has an open lane to run but throws the ball away.Purple bruise wrote:Zimmer get in TB's face: http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap300000 ... turnaround
I noticed that too. I wonder why they arr doing that?jackal wrote:I noticed a few times the Vikings wide outs will stop in the out patterns..
It seems like if they would have kept running the pass would be right on the money
# 12 especially
This is an important stat. However I'd like some context, specifically how many of those completions resulted in a first down? A quarterback could post those stats after checking down to a RB well short of the first-down market, which would change the perception of that stat and Bridewater's perceived efficiency.808vikingsfan wrote:
Indeed. It's basically the same problem I have when I see stats about how many completions a DB or LB has allowed. Without more context about the results of those plays, the stat isn't very helpful. If a defender allows a completion that results in a 3 yard gain on third and 5 and makes the tackle short of the marker, he's actually done a good job.dead_poet wrote: This is an important stat.

Hmmm 9 receptions for 95 yards and a TD. The TD was a 20 yard reception if I am not mistaken. That would leave 75 yards for the other 8 ... still over 9 yards per reception. I don't remember that many 3rd and 9 or more situations. Sounds to me like we got 1 for the TD and probably 4-6 others? sounds reasonable without even looking it up.dead_poet wrote: This is an important stat.

I believe that he has overthrown most of his long passes.
