Two things about this make it so terrible.

Teddy is such a great guy and he doesn't deserve this shit. Possibly career threatening? Fuck that.

And for the first time since 09 Vikings fans were collectively half-hopeful about this season and the future as a whole. With Shaun Hill as the guy, there is no way this team does better than 9-7 at best.

Whatever the extent of the injury, it's going to be pretty demoralizing to the team for sure. I hope this isn't a career ending injury, especially at his age.

Dude had to be in agonizing pain to get sedated for an mri. I feel so bad for the dude I really hope he comes back from this.

Who the hell picks the Vikings and Cowboys to be fans of?

AFC and an NFC team maybe but two teams from the same conference?

Says the fan of both Brady and the Texans. Hmm.

The point being that clearly not.trejo's dad is a bigger jinx than you or squicken.

Rappaport indicating that players were staggering away and vomiting. Ugh.

Sounds like a Marcus Lattimore / Napoleon McCallum type thing....

edit: yep

I wonder what he was going when it happened. Was running and trying to juke a player, dropping back and planting his foot? It just sounds so crazy.

What the fuck..
This is disturbing, i feel sorry for the Vikings, but now i'm even more worried about Teddy's day to day life, i hope this is not career ending and something that will damage him long term.

Makes that report of those players praying over him sound even weirder
 
damn that sucks about teddy B. I don't think he is elite, but i think he is a good QB for that team. at the start of last year (heading into playing the vikings opening week) i said he was average at best QB and we would beat up on them week 1. well, that happened, but over the course of the season it was pretty clear that he played within that system and was a big part of their success/making the playoffs. bummed to see hear about this and i hope it's not more serious than just this season.

in other news (for niners fans!) bruce ellington is out for the year. drats

I dunno if his whole career is *technically* over. He'll be able to hold a clipboard and play backup for a few years if it's repaired well enough.

Since the injury will put a permanent skill cap on him, there will definitely be lots of "what could have been" going on though
