Is it me or did the Vikings just go into NC and beat the NFC champs?

Don't worry. It's just a matter of time until Bradford gets hurt. They will then turn to Hill and when he fails to move the offense, TH will get some PT.

I suspect TH will immediately go onto the active 53 man roster as soon as his 6 week IR time frame is up. I believe they will want him ready to go as soon as possible just in case he is needed.

I hope you guys are right. Bradford looked legit today

Taylor making the 53 man roster (or not) doesn't have much to do with how good Bradford is. The only way it would is if he (Bradford) came in and was simply awful - which was never likely to be the case. They didn't give up significant future draft picks for Bradford to have him sitting on the bench behind either Hill or Taylor.

Now we should all be rooting for Vikings to go 14-0 with the #1 Seed locked up so TH can play in the final two games.

Bradford could well live up to his history and get hurt. However, long term, he was brought in to be a fix until next season when Bridgewater is back. In 2017 I find it highly unlikely the Vikes will not keep both Bradford and Bridgewater. I think a first round pick is excessive for a one year interim QB, but when have the Vikings ever been known to be smart? Just look at the 3 Lombardi trophies they gift wrapped for Dallas in the 90s. Wasn't it two years in a row they messed up the time limits for first round picks? They're idiots.

They obviously like him because they have 4 QBs on the team (3 on the roster-2 active). They wouldn't even consider hanging on to Taylor if they didn't see something in him. They have more incentive to cut him than to keep him.

I think he's done with Minn....he cost them a first round pick. He may have some trade value

Maybe I am crazy, or just a homer, but I would think after seeing the way Wentz is playing, the Vikings may be very excited about TH. IMO, TH is very similar to Wentz aside from the glaring size issue.

Saw that Wentz is 6'-5"... Dayum!
TH is probably a better scrambler?

See that the Vikings RB Mckinnon that took Peterson's place went to to Ga. Southern. Didn't he play against ODU in the FCS playoffs?

Twice, once as a RB and another as a QB.

You know he is well aware of what Taylor is capable of with the passing game.

I don't want to be a pessimist but its hard for me to see Taylor with a significant future with the Vikings. If Bradford plays well, I could see them signing him to be Teddy's backup unless he wants to have a shot at starting somewhere else. If he stays (and assuming they keep Taylor over Hill), he would be stuck at 3rd string. That would mean he would never even dress for a game. I wish him all the best as a fan of ODU and him personally, but his mistake may have really cost him more than just a shot at starting this year

He wasnt going to start the first 2-3 years anyways. He's a developmental guy. There is nothing to be worried about.

Bump... Any news?

Dayum, I got scared when I saw this thread in BOLD again.... figured TH was toast!

Here's the latest. I could get pretty interesting for TH in the next week or so.

Just read two articles from Minn. that indicate he will resume practice on Wednesday, team has 21 days after that to decide what to do--put him on roster, keep him on IR/NFI for the rest of the season, or waive him.
