You have got to feel for Teddy Bridgewater after that injury.  The good news is he should make a full recovery after a real scare.  From a team standpoint this puts them slightly behind the eight ball.  The Vikings are less reliant on Bridgewater than the Cowboys are on Romo, mostly in part because they sport a great defense.  Picking up Bradford should help some, but he’s no Bridgewater and will have to learn the system in a week.  This feels like a panic move from the Vikings who gave up far too much for a one year rental—and not even a very good one at that.
