Almost every Viking fanning know hated the deal at first but now they are coming around to it. Probably similar to Packer fans with the Sitton cut.
The Vikings reportedly were willing to go with Bradford because they are not confident teddy will be back by 2017.
If you want unbiased looks at where Bradford ranks for qbs here are some rankings. This is why most non-Viking people think this was a really bad deal
Sam Bradford QB / Philadelphia Eagles
Few men have made more money for doing less. Oft-injured and very rarely productive.

27. Sam Bradford QB / Philadelphia Eagles
He will likely open the season as the Eagles starter, but rookie first-round pick Carson Wentz will have the job at some point. In 14 games last season, Bradford threw 19 touchdown passes and 14 picks. The Eagles brought him back, but then drafted Wentz, leading to Bradford pouting about it and wanting to be traded

22.Bradford showed some signs of life down the stretch in 2015 after a disappointing start. He grew more comfortable behind center, which led to improved accuracy and arm strength. Bradford did a pretty good job of avoiding sacks, even if that meant taking huge hits in the pocket. He’s 28, but injuries have limited his reps, and that’s evident in his tape. Bradford is slow to react to defenses and doesn’t anticipate his receivers coming open like most passers his age do

The Eagles quarterbacking situation is the worst thing to happen to Philadelphia since, well, the previous half-century of professional football. This offseason, the Eagles gave $18 million to a guy who finished 25th in QB rating last year and has a 25-37-1 lifetime record with exactly zero seasons above .500, only to have Sam Bradford whine about his role in the offense because the team had the audacity to draft a quarterback.
