After being called out by Peyton Manning for his smedium shirt and all-access pass to Broncos training camp, FOX’s Jay Glazer took his bus-defacing training-camp tour to Mankato State University. He liked what he saw and heard of Vikings rookie quarterback Teddy Bridgewater.
Per Glazer, Bridgewater and veteran Matt Casselare “pretty much splitting reps” at practice, and “[h]ugeee” (maybe the tight shirt made the button stick) optimism exists for Bridgewater’s future.
It doesn’t mean that Bridgewater will be the Week One starter. It does mean that, the longer the rep-spitting lasts, the less prepared the Week One starter will be.
Though in different conferences, the Vikings and Browns will provide an intriguing apples-and-apples quarterback comparison in 2014 and beyond, given that both were interested in Johnny Manziel and Teddy Bridgewater. Cleveland ultimately traded up to get Manziel before the Vikings could, and Minnesota moved back to round one to get Bridgewater.
I'd bet on Teddy winning that job.
