The Facts:
Bridgewater will attempt to beat out Matt Cassel and Christian Ponder for the starting quarterback job this summer. And if the rookie doesn’t, he’s content with not playing on Week 1. "It’s not tough at all because I have nothing but my best interest for the team,” Bridgewater said. “If I’m not the guy then I know the coaches have the best interest for the team also. My teammates also have the best interest for the team. So in order for me to be a better player, I have to have the best interest for the team and want nothing but the best interest for the team.”

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
HC Mike Zimmer said on Wednesday that Bridgewater will get his chance to play at some point but unsure whether it will be this year or next season. It all depends on how quickly Bridgewater, 21, can develop into what Zimmer, GM Rick Spielman and OC Norv Turner view as an NFL starting quarterback. According to Star-Tribune staffer Master Tesfatsion reports, Bridgewater is already making strides and Zimmer has been impressed by his ability so far while also noting Bridgewater has a long way to go. That’s something fantasy football owners should keep in mind.
