Report: Bridgewater likely to miss entire 2017 season

That's terrible

You have to wonder if he will ever make it back. The description of the injury at the time was horrifying. Hope he does.

 

[Wheelman]

No surprise here.

That's terrible

I'd hit "dislike" but I don't want to make it seem like I dislike your post -- just disliking the news. Terrible thing to see. Hopefully he'll be able to recover and make it on the NFL field again.

 

[PatsBoy12]

Damn. His career was looking like it would skyrocket. I wonder if he'll be able to recapture it if or when he takes the field again.

 

[pctronics0072]

I doubt it. From the reports it is a knee dislocation. Those are usually career enders. Some lucky few can return at a lower level than before. Luck come in on where he snapped certain ligaments and what damage the knee did to itself collapsing.

Also, I think he may have had arterial injury bbased on reports ??? Of so, first then they have to do is reduce the knee emergently, or he could loose the leg. Therefore, they can do more damge to the knee reducing it. Artery always comes before joint...

I'm gutted for him. I was rooting for him throughout his career.

Vikes made it clear that when they got Bradford one reason they were willing to give up a 1st was the fact that he was signed for two years, so it was clear for a while that Teddy could have this kind of unfortunate result.

 

[Joey007]

That's definitely a shame for Teddy, but it's good they signed Bradford for two years.

I STILL think Bradford wasn't as bad as people think. Look at the stats, the dude was extremely efficient, but had possibly the worst O line in football and no running game. It was like watching the '15 AFCCG in Denver every week.

Not a surprise, but a crying shame. Every word I've ever heard about Bridgewater was positive: a mature, intelligent, hard-working leader.

 

[Deus Irae]

Patriots fans have been down this sort road before, with Robert Edwards. Best of luck to Teddy.

What was the injury again?

 

[meatface]

I really hope he can make it back, guy deserves better.

 

[AtomicDawg]

That really sucks, I like Teddy B. and I believe he was(maybe he still is) a talented QB. Though Bradford was not that bad, Teddy was the future for the Vikings. Hope he has a chance to get back on the field soon although it may be an uphill climb.

What was the injury again?

ACL, MCL, Dislocated kneecap, thing kinda exploded.

[Pessimistic Pete]

Very unfortunate.

That being said though, the reaction in general is a bit overblown. Obviously sucks for a young 1st round pick QB to suffer such an injury, but I never saw this guy ever becoming even a top 15 QB in the league.

 

[Froob]

Damn, horrible luck.

 

[JarOfMayo51]

Really sad story, I hope he's able to make a full recovery and return to this sport... how unfortunate for him and that whole organization
