Tennessee Titans vs Minnesota Vikings: 5 keys to victory
By Adam Carlson
#1: Bradford or Hill
The team will have to decide which quarterback is best suited to lead this team to a victory, and that might be a much tougher call than many fans understand.
Bradford is clearly a much more talented quarterback. Plus, the team has invested in him heavily, trading a 1st and 4th round draft pick to the Eagles as well as taking on $24 million in salary over the next two years.
Still, none of those commitments to the draft picks or salary will matter when a quarterback is on the field. The only deciding factor will be how much of the playbook Sam Bradford understands and how comfortable the coaching staff is on putting him on the field.
It will be interesting to see just how fast Bradford picks up the offense. He’s been no stranger to learning new systems since being in the NFL, surviving two different head coaches with the Rams and enduring a big change moving to the Eagles.
Bradford caught on to Philadelphia’s schemes quickly, breaking franchise records for pass completion percentage (65.03%) and number of completions (346). So, there is a huge possibility that the newly acquired quarterback might be able to step in and play at a high level on Sunday.
