Playing in a major football conference; Big 12, and a major college program; Oklahoma, his 2 full seasons were ridiculous. His fresh & soph stats: 565/824 for 68.5%; comp%, 7,841 yds, 86 TDs, 16 Int, 178.68 QB rating, and a Heisman Trophy. He was poised to have his best year yet before injury.
His Pro-Day brought comments like "Best since Aikman"-Gil Brandt: "Best Pro-Day I've seen in 6 years"-Mike Mayock: "He killed it"-Todd McShay among many others, but those 3 are well respected NFL analysts.
He has incredible accuracy and intelligence, a legit NFL arm, quick release, and good decision making skills, according to multiple scouts. He has all the tools you would look for in a 'Franchise QB'.
Past performance is no guarantee, but with the NFL adopting more of a spread type passing game which fits Bradford's style, I think he has as good a chance as anyone to the best QB in the next decade.

i can't remeber what thread it was in any help would be appreciated, but there was a link to an article that had sports journalist's qoutes leaving the players names blank to see if you could guess the players names and half of the quotes were about jamarcus russell, and they are all along the same lines as the qoutes you have above. they all get hyped coming out of college but when it comes down to it there is no way to predict how any one player will adapt to the nfl after leaving college. just look at ryan leaf and tom brady. stats are what they are, numbers, results are what mean something
