Vikings believe Sam Bradford has earned right to start in 2017
Minnesota Vikings quarterback Sam Bradford has "earned the right to be the starting quarterback," head coach Mike Zimmer said.
Teddy Bridgewater is still attempting to come back from a devastating knee injury, but there have been rumblings Bradford will keep the job even if Bridgewater is healthy. Bradford set an NFL record with a 71.6 percent completion rate this season behind a comically bad offensive line. With Bradford set to count $18 million against the cap in the final year of his deal, the Vikings will likely look to work out an extension this offseason.
Bradford ranks 12th in Passing Net Expected Points per drop back among the 39 quarterbacks to drop back at least 100 times this year.
