One thing I heard on the radio this morning driving was that part of the deal why Bradford was chosen was that he had already played in the style offense that Norv Turner runs both in St. Louis and with the Eagles this year.
The Vikings didn't throw the ball that much last year as, they were 32nd in passing attempts. Turner is going to run the same offense he did with the Cowboys over 20 years ago, give the ball to AP 25 times a game and run play action passing. I'd figure Bradford would be way better suited to running that offense than that Star Trek crap that Chip Kelly was trying to run last year.
They gave up a 1st and a 4th. I don't think it was quite the Herschel Walker deal. 1st round picks are a crap shoot even for good clubs. I give them some credit for making it happen "now" and not waiting. I think to some extent they over play how 'complex' all this stuff is to some extent. Sure working with people over time improves things, but their D is built to win now, so I give them some credit for trying to go for it.
Sounds like it would at best be early next season until Bridgewater would be ready anyway and some reports state he might be out two seasons as since his knee gave way, it's going to be a bit more dicey to heal.
Think about the Browns a couple years ago that had a good D, solid O-line and the worst QBs in football...only thing they got was fired. Same deal with Rex with the Jets and the Bills a few years ago. Free Agency means clubs turn over every 2-3 years.
10/23 with the Vikings in Philly is going to be interesting now.
Being a Bears fan and watching Urlacher and Briggs play with so much scrub QB play, it would have been nice if the McCaskey's would have made the deal to get a QB when those guys were in their prime. Criminy they rode sexy Rexy and Weirdbeird into a NFC title game and a Superbowl... By the time they finally made the deal for Cutler, everyone was either gone or old.

my prob with season threads is they take forever to load if you find yourself find in the unfortunate position of wanting to look back through the thread
feel like we don't have enough volume to justify weekly threads anymore
