Will it be Teddy Bridgewater or Matt Cassel under center in Minnesota?

The QB controversy pits the upside of a rookie vs. the consistency of a vet

Teddy Bridgewater, for whom Minnesota traded up to the 32nd pick to get, will compete with Matt Cassell for the starting job in Minnesota, and Mike Florio and Hines Ward think the rookie has the edge. Kevin Gilbride, however, disagrees.
