Well he’s certainly a veteran at learning new offenses.

Jared Cook is still making boneheaded plays.

Did you see him catch that 11 yard pass on 3rd down that would have been a first down if he hadn’t decided to loop back inside and lose yardage?

At least he held onto the ball.

i missed it, but i can see it happening in my head. same ole cook.

sam is more than just learning a new offense. he seems like he’s known it for years.

He looks really good. In sync with Diggs.

There was an article, probably posted in an earlier “Bradford to Vikes” thread, that talked about how good Norv Turner is at getting newly acquired qbs up to speed to play well soon. He’s done it before.

That was not meant to take anything away from Bradford btw.

He ended the game 22 of 31 (71%) for 286 yards (9.2 YPR), with 2 TDs, 0 Ints, and a qb rating of 121.2

Not that he’s Case Keenum or anything but that’s pretty good.

Colin Cowherd was talking about how NFL executives were saying, Bradford had bad coaching his whole NFL career. It sounded they were taking a stab at Spags and Fisher.

It’s bs.

Bradford played well for quite a few patches there.

But he hasn’t had a team like the Vikes.

Meanwhile remember some of us pointed out all along that he was good, and had played well when the situation was there for him to do it. This is going back years.

Sounds to me like all Cowherd is doing is trying to cover up for the fact he got it wrong all along.

Sam Bradford, quarterback, and Stefon Diggs, wide receiver, Minnesota. This defines “right combination:” Bradford, who has been a Viking for two weeks, just got to know Diggs, a second-year player from Klemko U. (i.e. Maryland), and on Sunday night, Bradford threw nine passes to Diggs. All nine connected, for 182 yards, one touchdown and a dominant performance. Cris Collinsworth said it best at the end of the Sunday night game—what Bradford did was one of the most impressive things he’s seen on a football field, seeming so confident and relaxed with a totally new system and new mates. Give Diggs credit too. This great combination couldn’t have happened without his athleticism and sure-handed ability.
