Matt Cassel is expected to enter training camp as the Vikings' starter.
Rookie Teddy Bridgewater has been sprinkled in with the ones during OTAs, but Cassel is getting more reps. New Vikings OC Norv Turner revealed he wanted to sign Cassel last year in Cleveland. "I think that would have been at the time a good move for us," Turner said. "I gave my evaluation (to the Browns). I thought he would have fit. ... Sometimes it works out and sometimes it doesn't."
Yeah but regardless of how he's doing in OTAs, it's not a real game and if you throw a rookie into a game like that you risk injury due to inexperience. Their best bet is letting Cassel start and make the rookie earn it
I heard that the Vikings are not trying to rush teddy into the starting spot, they want to get him experience as a back up for a little bit and maybe give him a start here or there if Cassel has a bad year
if cassel has a bad year...... care to place the odds on that? if TB is a better QB, the viks will play the player that gives them the best opportunity to win. that run game is great but AP wont last forever. win now.
