How did the quarterbacks do for the Minnesota Vikings during the 2016 season? Here’s a look at them and give grades as well as a look ahead to 2017 season.

When it comes to the NFL, nobody is under a microscope more than the quarterbacks. The guys who throw the football for the Minnesota Vikings were a hot topic of discussion, since a lot happened at the position throughout the season.

For the purpose of this evaluation, 4 quarterbacks will be looked at: Taylor Heinicke, Teddy Bridgewater, Shaun Hill, and Sam Bradford. Each one has a unique path they took in 2016 and a different projection going forward.

For each quarterback, a brief analysis will be given along with a look ahead to what is in store for them during the 2017 season. Included at the bottom of each will be a grade. This grade is for the overall performance of the player during the season, and does not represent their future potential or past achievements.

Let’s get started with a quarterback who entered the 2016 NFL season with his foot in a cast: Taylor Heinicke!
