Because Teddy is the future of that Franchise and Bradford's value will be high after this season. If he's still under contract, he'll have extremely high trade value to a QB-needy team.

Keeping and starting Bradford would probably ruin Teddy; because his ego and confidence would shatter like Tony Romo's collar bone.
You really have a lot of confidence in Teddy's knee holding up

Yeah Teddy may not even be ready for next year. He could have played his last snap. For every Adrian Peterson there is a Marcus Lattimore or Jake Ballard.

1) Cognitive biases. The Vikings front office drafted Bridgewater and anointed him their franchise QB. They are therefore going to continue to interpret him as being such, barring his inability to return. We've probably all watched enough sports to see how this plays out with high, prominent draft picks.

2) The Vikings are winning with defense more than offense (or at least are being hyped as winning with defense more than offense). That cuts against the idea that Bradford is "the guy." Instead, the front office will assume that, with that defense, plugging in Bridgewater will achieve a similar result.

the exception to this would be the seahawks and wilson over flyn

If Teddy doesn't come back everything I just said goes out the window, including the first and most important point "Teddy is the future of the franchise". If he can't play, then this is a moot point.

Fuckin' old thread.
