Sam Bradford now leads to Redskins

[maroonandblack30]

Bradford won't be a good pro IMO.

Draft linemen....it really isn't that hard. If we have a top 5 pick we should trade down to get more picks anyway.

How can u say he won't be a good pro lol?? It's insane how ppl just say random shit about a player they don't even know or watch.. Sam Bradford is respected by all the pro scouts even though that doesn't guarantee he will be a star, it shows everyone that he is worth taking. You were probably the one that said sanchez would be a bum also

College QBs are a toss up, for every Peyton Manning or Donovan McNabb, you have a Ryan Leaf, JaMarcus Russell, Joey Harrington, or any first-round bust.

I think before everyone blindly says that we should take a QB in the first, we need to have a good FO that will be making those decisions.

If Snyder hires a good GM that has the reputation/ability to find linemen in the later rounds, then I would be all for getting a QB in the first (although it still bothers me picking up a player that only played a few games during his last season in college because he injured and re-injured the same shoulder).

I agree with that assesment, but at some point this team has to take a qb again, either draft or fa.. So if we draft one why not take Bradford or clausen I'm the top 10? We can get some quality olineman in the later rounds.

I have complete confidence that November mock drafts will be accurate.

I'd like to wish our front office luck, but those sorry SOBs wouldn't know what to do with it if they had it.

I took that from the Glengary motivational speech.

Sam Bradford is by no means a guaranteed first round pick. He has talent, but this quarterback class is not very strong in terms of possible franchise type top of the draft qb's. I wouldn't be surprised if only one qb was taken in the first round and I am talking very bottom of the first round.

We need a left tackle in the first round. End of discussion.

??? Sam Bradford was the projected Number 1 pick Last Year!! Do you watch College football at all?? Kiper and Mcshay both have him a top 5 pick still.. IDK about Clausen or Pike but Bradford has every chance of being a FRANCHISE qb just because of his On Field talent and because he's one of the smartest QB's out there.. (and obviouslly we don't have that now)

Dude, Bradford may have hurt himself by staying in school. Now he has a shoulder which has been injured twice and that will make personnel people worried. Bradford has developed a reputation among some people for being made of glass.

Ok man but Adrian Peterson was made of "glass" in college also, well now everyone is on his Jock... I understand he hurt his shoulder but obviously it hasn't hurt his draft stock too much.. And the reason is because he has Manning like attributes on and off the field.

The problem though is that whoever takes him is going to have to make a decision on him, more or less "in the dark" on his physical state.

I mean, every team will have medical reports on him, but no one is going to get to see him throw the football before his personal workout, and those are somewhat valueless anyway because it's not a standardized field like the combine, or at least a pro day.

So it makes him the ultimate high-risk, high-reward prospect. On the pro side, he was really, really good in pretty much perfect conditions two years ago. On the downside, what have you done for me lately? Not a whole lot.

Clausen is much safer because of that, but it's because he's safer that we don't have a chance in hell of getting him. Not that he'd be a good investment with this team anyway.

Dude comes from a college football superpower that beats on average teams over every other week. Only Texas, Nebraska, T Tech, and maybe A&M give them any real competition, unless they play non conference superpowers like when Miami beat them.

Bradford runs the spread offense which means he has little experience making pre-snap reads and he rarely operates from under center.

He has an above average arm not great, good height and a Heisman. Almost all quarterbacks are a gamble, but the real question is how fast does he process info and seeing as how the offense that he runs doesn't give NFL scouts an answer to that very important question he will be a gamble on draft day.

I'm not even including the fact that he just busted up his throwing shoulder.

Seriously. We're all a bunch of know-nothing dumbasses. Otherwise, we'd be making a mint running some NFL team. There are going to be a few QBs drafted in the first round next year that go on to become great NFL QBs, maybe even Hall of Famers.

And this just in... injuries heal, especially with dudes in their early 20s. I'd hate to go another 15 years with a cavalcade of shitty QBs only to look back at the 2010 draft saying, "We should have drafted THAT guy." The Skins can get a QB AND fix the O line in the early rounds and grab a RB in the middle to late rounds or via free agency. Presto chango, they can turn this debacle around in 2-3 years. Happens all the time.

The chances that this statement proves true are remote at best.

Great NFL QB's don't grow on trees. They are very rare. Maybe one per year on average graduates to the NFL.
