Summary

All week Purple Insider will be holding Vikings discussions about the great "What Coulda Been" questions in franchise history. For this episode, Matthew Coller and Sam Ekstrom talk about the Zimmer Era quarterbacks, starting with Teddy Bridgewater and what might have happened if he hadn't gotten hurt in 2016. Would the Vikings have gone farther in 2017? Where would they be now? Why was everyone so high on Bridgewater and what QB might he have been most compared to if healthy? Plus they discuss Sam Bradford's flash of greatness in 2017 and whether he could have gotten the Vikings more than 14 wins and the 2018 decision that led to Kirk Cousins as the present QB.
