5 NFL Quarterbacks Who Will Improve In 2017 (And 5 Who Won't)

Yes, Sam Bradford is going to get worse. Many people will talk themselves into believing that he still holds the potential to be a game changer in the NFL, but he simply doesn't.

Yes, he set an league record for highest single season completion percentage in 2016, but he did that mostly via three yard check downs and equally short throws, which is evident by his 20:5 touchdowns to interception ratio. If you complete 71% of your passes, but only score 20 touchdowns, it's fair to say that your impact is inflated.

The Minnesota Vikings, a team more or less killing time until franchise starter Teddy Bridgewater recovers from a devastating knee injury, haven't done much to make Bradford's life easier. They drafted former Florida State running back Dalvin Cook, but failed to at all improve their offensive line, one of the worst in the league last season.

That means Bradford will be at risk every time he drops back and Cook will have to gamble on almost non-existent gaps in opposing defenses to get significant yardage. Nothing will come easy for the Vikings' offense in 2017 and that's going to further expose Bradford's already glaring weaknesses.
