After loosing their starting quarterback Teddy Bridgewater, and replacing him with Sam Bradford in a blockbuster trade, no one knows who will start at quarterback in week one for the Minnesota Vikings.

After a blockbuster trade last week, the Minnesota Vikings acquired Sam Bradford from the Philadelphia Eagles for a first and fourth round pick. This trade was made eight days before the start of the regular season.

After a summer of studying a new playbook with the Eagles under new head coach Doug Pederson, Bradford is again learning a new offense. This one is on the fly.

Bradford has been through this before, and has learned about every offensive style there is in the NFL today. He has been cramming to learn the Vikings offense, but will be be ready?

Career backup Shaun Hill has been in this system for the last two years. If Bradford can not play due to not knowing the playbook, Hill will get the start.

Head Coach Mike Zimmer told the media that he had made his decision on who the starter will be but would not tell until Sunday Morning.

You would have to think that they are looking for Bradford to start. I do not think they would have given up so much if they didnt intend for him to start.

Ian Rapoport, NFL reporter, tweeted earlier that Vikings players were told that Shaun Hill will be starting the name in Nashville, against the Tennessee Titans.

Is this a smoke screen?

We will have to wait and see. I fully expect Sam Bradford to get the start on Sunday in the opener. Sam Bradford with half of the playbook down is better than a Shaun Hill that knows in all.

Bradford has a nice deep ball and will add another dimension to the Minnesota Vikings offense. Hopefully he starts, so that there can be chemistry built between Bradford and the Minnesota Vikings wide receivers.
