Nobody on the Vikings is set to benefit more from the offseason acquisitions on the roster than its starting quarterback.
Let’s not kid ourselves: The most important player on the Vikings is quarterback Teddy Bridgewater. If he has a good year, the club will do well; if he doesn’t, the Vikings won’t repeat as NFC North champions.
While NFL leading rusher Adrian Peterson might be the focus of the defenses around the league, Bridgewater is the only player who can elevate this team to an even higher level than its 11-5 record of last season.
