Vikings quarterback Sam Bradford said Wednesday something no Minnesota fan wants to hear: his knee injury is non-contact in nature. Atoms To Mass In Grams Converter Cups there. 'I felt it when it happened. 2/6 The Vikings’ offensive coordinator search could drag on for a while longer. The team would like to talk with Eagles quarterbacks coach John DeFilippo about. Samuel Jacob Bradford (born November 8, 1987) is an American football quarterback for the Minnesota Vikings of the National Football League (NFL). Bradford attended.
Well, so far this season, Sam Bradford is getting the last laugh. Less than one month after being acquired by the Vikings and getting the full immersion treatment with a new team with an entirely new offense and play-calling terminology, Bradford led the Vikings to a third-straight win as a starter and a 4-0 record to start the season. Bradford’s effort in the Vikings’ 24-10 win over the Giants Monday night wasn’t spectacular — no one could ever describe Bradford as spectacular — but it was nearly perfect. It was certainly ruthlessly efficient. Bradford hasn’t turned the ball over in any of the three games he’s started for Minnesota.
Despite being in the Vikings’ system for less than a month, it’s clear that he has a full grasp of the Minnesota offense as well — he’s even adding some no-huddle, hurry-up, spread-look wrinkles to it now that Adrian Peterson is out of commission. The Vikings should have been dead and buried this year, even with their spectacular defense. (And boy is it spectacular.) First Bridgewater. Then Peterson. That should have been a lethal 1-2. It hasn’t mattered.
In fact, the Vikings seem to be getting better despite the injuries. Offensive coordinator Norv Turner deserves a lot of credit for the Vikings’ success, but if you’re looking to single someone out, it has to be Bradford. The former Heisman Trophy winner was never a bad quarterback — he was just a victim of exceptional expectations. Bradford received the most guaranteed money — $50 million — in NFL history before he took a snap. He’d have to be a perennial Pro Bowler to live up to those expectations. Bradford has been in the league for eight years for a reason, though — he’s smart and can make all the throws necessary to win in the NFL. Those two skills haven’t been shown off much over Bradford’s first seven years — the first five coming with the mediocre-at-best Rams and then last year with the Chip Kelly-run Eagles, a strange fit from Day One — but both are being put to the test in Minnesota.
