The Vikings' star quarterback has already started to silence the critics that nitpicked his game prior to the 2014 NFL Draft, providing stellar play near the end of his rookie campaign; his passer rating (85.2) was the fifth-highest of any rookie signal-caller to start at least eight games since 1990. When Bridgewater takes the field with Adrian Peterson (who, of course, missed all but one game in 2014) in the backfield and an upgraded pass-catching corps that features three explosive playmakers (Mike Wallace, Cordarrelle Patterson and Charles Johnson) and a Pro Bowl tight end (Kyle Rudolph) ... Watch out! The presence of the NFL's top runner will lead to more one-on-one matchups on the outside, resulting in a schoolyard game of pitch-and-catch between Bridgewater and his receivers. Not to mention, coordinator Norv Turner's clever scheming will help the young quarterback exploit favorable matchups on the perimeter and produce more big plays on vertical shots off play-action. Considering the superb timing, ball placement and judgment Bridgewater has already exhibited as a young passer, the Vikings have all of the pieces needed to become a perennial Super Bowl contender under his direction.
