Sam Bradford's pro day workout should clear up top of NFL draft

[GTripp0012]

Reports are that Colt McCoy just had the best pro day of anyone in the last 24 hours.

I liked it...and that's all that matters

Bradford's was better though. Displayed a stronger arm

someone, mcshay maybe, can't recall.. said that mccoy had all of his drops from under center, had more movement, etc.. wasn't nearly as controlled as bradford's

either way sounds like they both had great days

McCoy's pro day seem to showcase more of his athletic abilities overall, where as Bradford's seemed to be more designed to showcase that his shoulder is fine

Bradford does have the look to be the best QB in the league for the next 12 years.

please explain

Well it is a very subjective statement, and it would depend on where and for who he plays.
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

Yeah he's been facing a lot of those questions. Basically even if he does have a strong preference he's not going to say it, at least not now.

Lol on the other hand, Shanahan has a strong preference for everyone. Portis, Johnson, Parker, Big Mike, Heyer, Bradford, Tebow, Clausen. Is there anyone Shanahan doesn't like?

[jdc65]

I agree; QB is a crapshoot, and if the Skins get Bradford and he busts? The Shanahan era will also bust here.
Still, the thought that we might have an 'elite' QB here with an 'elite' Head Coach and a progressive Offensive Co-ordinator is an enticing proposition. For me personally, I would much rather have Bradford/Saffold then Okung/McCoy.

1 draft QB ain't gonna kill you

don't have to start rookie year

if he's still not the best option he gets pushed back.. sucks as far as pay goes but yeah

Anyone read the article on Yahoo sports? Five moves that should be made before the NFL draft - NFL - Yahoo! Sports

I would be pissed if we gave up that much to move 3 spots. I can understand a flop of picks this year and a flop of picks next year. However, I can't see giving them our first round pick next year for 3 spots.

"Besides, the Redskins never have been shy about dumping draft picks. So why not take the 2011 first-round selection, package it with a failed free-agent signing (or two) from past years, and offer a flip-flop to St. Louis?"

Yeah the one written by Florio for SportingNews? lol

as if suddenly he's an evaluator instead of a reporter

So, I was listening to NFL live today, and they were talking about what I'm sure has been discussed in this thread already about how the St. Louis dispatch reported that Bradford isn't going to sign a pre-draft contract, and it could be influenced by what Bradford's been hearing from other teams..The NFL live staff all said maybe a team that picks fourth like I don't know,... Washington?

My point is I think that the more little reports that come out like this, especially that Bradford isn't going to pull a stafford and sign a contract before the draft, tells me that the chances of the rams picking Bradford go down little by little the more reports that come out.

I say when all is said and done, Shanahan, BA, and Snyder will all say "This is Our guy, and We have to have him...we'll do anything to get him" I say the only way I believe Sam Bradford isn't a skin is when we officially sign our draft pick at number 4. I think even if the Rams take him at number 1 overall, we'll pull a trade for him. I believe that when all is said and done, Sam Bradford will most likely be a Redskin.
