We should stay away from Bradford

Landry44 · 03-15-2010, 05:24 PM

This guy has missed practically a whole season of football. He got a serious shoulder injury that I believe is more serious than first advertised. He has yet to prove that he still got it. I just think he's to much of a risk to draft him at 4th overall. I know we need a franchise qb. But is Bradford a franchise qb? I honestly do not see it.

celts32 · 03-15-2010, 05:57 PM

I don't agree...and there is already a bunch of threads about Bradford on here.

Landry44 · 03-15-2010, 05:58 PM

So you have no concerns about Bradford?

johno · 03-15-2010, 06:04 PM

of course there are concerns about him reinjuring his shoulder, but most scouts agree that he is the best qb in the draft. this has been discussed else where and doesnt need its own thread.

Landry44 · 03-15-2010, 06:18 PM

Are you guys mods or something?

SkinsfanNTX · 03-15-2010, 06:23 PM

He won't be there at number four, if he somehow falls that far the Redskins WILL take him.

skinsfaninok · 03-15-2010, 06:23 PM

Please close this thead.. It's being discussed in so many other's..

#1- Bradford has proven to be the most accurate of all the QB's.
#2- Yes his injury is a concern, but his doctor works for or with the Skins.

#3- We already have had several QB's in the past that had good arms, just not accurate:

Ramsey
Brunell (technically prior to coming to the Skins)
Campbell
Collins

So we don't need simply a strong armed QB, we need an accurate passer. It has been pointed out that the next most accurate passer would be McCoy who's arm is weaker then Bradfords.

#4- Can we start a thread "Why we don't need Okung"?

I keep hearing how he's too big and possibly slow for Shanahan's scheme.

ES thread. Burn it, get rid of it. Certainly your opinion will be appreciated in one of the many other Bradford threads, but a leading thread without anything earth shattering analysis to back it up is unnecessary.

More like concerned citizens. Besides ever since the ACLU went after them our mods lost whatever backbone they had left.

I'd be for that if they can manage to trade down and still get a good OT that fits the scheme.

If none of you want to discuss this then don't come in this thread. It's not like you're being forced to discuss it. I don't come here very often so I don't know what has discussed. My point was Bradford is to much of a risk to draft him 4th overall. He hasn't thrown a pass in months. In 2008 he was without a doubt a great qb. He was extremely accurate with the football. However, he has missed practically a whole season of football. He didn't participate in the combine. He has yet to throw a pass to prove that he's physcially capable. The scouts can say whatever they want about his abilities there are just to many unanswered questions to take a chance on this guy. We cannot afford to miss with that 4th pick.

And our point was the fact that none of this was new information. Now if you had something like a quote from a coach or new interesting analysis from a scout then that would be interesting but this is just basic stuff and your title is leading to boot.

I never implied that this was new information. You just have a lot of Skins fans pushing to draft this guy and I can't understand why.

Ignorance of the law is no excuse. It's not hard to see what's been discussed. Just do a search for "Bradford" and you would find (at minimum) this:

http://www.thewarpath.net/nfl-draft-...ams-wont.html?

http://www.thewarpath.net/nfl-draft-...ma-s-pro.html?

http://www.thewarpath.net/nfl-draft-...rd-takes.html?

http://www.thewarpath.net/nfl-draft-...ghts-sam.html?

http://www.thewarpath.net/nfl-draft-...rd-still.html?

Don't want to do that? When you start a thread you could type in "Bradford" in the title and then click on "check if already posted" right next to it.

As for Bradford himself

1) I'm pretty sure his shoulder injury wasn't nearly as bad as Drew Brees'
2) He has thrown plenty of passes, just hasn't done it for the general public

I'll leave this open for now (not really even sure why) but I don't doubt it will be locked soon enough
