Today’s question: Teddy Bridgewater led the Minnesota Vikings to an 11-5 record and a division title in 2015, but there’s plenty of uncertainty about just how good the third-year quarterback can be. Fill in the blank: If Bridgewater doesn’t take a step forward and become a top-tier QB in his third season, the Vikings should _____?

Rob Demovsky, Green Bay Packers reporter: Keep trying to develop the rest of the roster. The Vikings are going to be a playoff team, given their running game and style of defense. Barring something unexpected, they’re going to be picking in the bottom third of the first round again in the 2017 draft. Chances are they’re not going to get an immediate replacement that low in the round, so even if Bridgewater has reached his ceiling, the focus should be on making sure the Vikings have the best running game and a championship-level defense around him.

Jeff Dickerson, Chicago Bears reporter: Keep him. There is a massive shortage of dependable quarterbacks in the NFL. Is Bridgewater in the top tier? No. But he has done enough to convince me the Vikings can win with him. Can they win because of him? That’s up for debate. But regardless, it would be silly to let him go. Bridgewater is only 23 years old. He has plenty of time to develop. He is the man until further notice. Minnesota can still look to strengthen the quarterback position moving forward. That’s fair. But cut ties with Bridgewater? There would be 10 to 15 teams lined up to sign him if that happens.

Michael Rothstein, Detroit Lions reporter: Stick with him because Bridgewater is still young and has a lot of potential. I’ll go back to a game I play with people who question Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford: Would you rather have Stafford or X as your team’s quarterback? If you do the same thing with Bridgewater, I bet you find yourself saying Bridgewater more than a lot of other starters not in the Tom Brady/Aaron Rodgers/Russell Wilson category. To me, that means you have a capable starting quarterback, and it’s better to be in that situation than what the New York Jets, Cleveland Browns or even Houston Texans have. Bridgewater has a definite future.
