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

There is no reason to be rude. I don't know what's wrong with you guys but many of you aren't showing a lot of class right now. If you guys don't want to discuss this with me then do what's in your heart and not ignore the thread. If you disagree with me then can sumbit your opinion respectfully. There is absolutely no reason to rude to fellow Skins fan that wants to best for the team just like you do.

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.

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

You guys are acting like a group of bitches on their period. If this thread such a waste of your time then simple ignore it. That would make more sense.

Describe what you consider a franchise QB.

How exactly are we being a bunch of bitches? Why couldn't you just discuss Bradford in one of the other 20 threads?

Stop while your behind.

Take it easy on OP. He clearly had something on his mind and needed some immediate feedback. It won't happen again. It's just a little freak out. That's all. No harm done.

Longtimefan · 03-15-2010, 07:54 PM

Don't lock this thread until he gives me his definition of what a franchise QB is.

When I think of a franchise qb I'm looking for a guy who's very intelligent, extremely accurate, and capable of making all the throws.

That rather speaks for the majority of the QB's in the league.

Here are some quotes from Scouts Inc. on Bradford regarding:
Intelligence: "Cerebral quarterback. Not an in-your-face type leader but commands the huddle. Displays poise under pressure. Mentally/physically tough." He also scored a 36 on the Wonderlic test, take that for whatever you want.
Accuracy: "2006: Redshirted. 2007: (14/14) 237 for 341 (69.5 pct.), 3,121 yards, 36 TD, 8 INT. 2008: (14/14) Heisman Trophy winner. 328 for 483 (67.9 pct.), 4,720 yards, 50 TD, 8 INT." Another site says "Can put the ball into tight windows, even though he doesn’t have the best zip on his passes. Bradford showed elite accuracy as a sophomore when he won the Heisman Trophy in 2008."
Throw Capability: "He can make all of the NFL throws. Shows good touch and timing on the vertical throws."

So is your main concern the injury?

Doesn't sound like Jason Campbell.

A thread dedicated to concerns over Bradford seems logical w/ the draft approaching.

My take is even w/o injury concerns taking him in the top 5 seems irresponsible at best. Again I just keep looking back at the youtube video and my word this kid's passes are wobbly and often very, very weak. Big lobs and lots of arch even on medium range passes.

Maybe seeing him throw at a proday or whatever alleviates some of those concerns if he seems to have increased his strength/velocity a lot; however, until this is SEEN and basically documented I think the notion Bradford is a great NFL QB prospect is pretty unjustified.

I don't think anyone is talking about him here. Just because someone doesn't want Bradford, it doesn't mean that they want or think that Campbell is the QB of the future.
