The Vikes
find themselves at 2-4 and by no means are they out of anything. It has been a
couple of tough weeks so let’s look at one of the bright spots and that is
Teddy Bridgewater.
Teddy is
fast moving up or passing former rookie Vikings quarterbacks’ records already
and he is literally in his first couple of weeks. Sunday’s game will be his
first start on the road.

1) Teddy
Bridgewater- 111.2
2) Blake
Bortles-110.0
3) Derek
Carr 108.2
4) Jim

Bridgewater set a
Vikings rookie passer rating in his first start in the NFL with a 98.9
If the
Vikings can figure out a pass protection and I feel comfortable they will
Bridgewater will smash every Vikings rookie record there ever was.
Go Teddy and
Go Vikings.
