It's hard to judge accuracy when he doesn't have to make tight throws.

You obviously didn't watch the video in it's entirety, since he tightropes a few in there and almost all of those passes are what we see in the NFL, every week. He looked off receivers and threw the ball accurately.

You'll also note, that over half of those highlight catches are by, players, other than the ones touted here tonight, which is partly why I selected it.

Plus, I posted at 9:15 and you posted at 9:18, the video is over 6 minutes long. You've been outed for not even watching it. :rolleyes:

Are you trying to say he's throwing to shitty players?

Ryan Broyles will almost assuredly play in the NFL, the only WR he threw to that didn't make it was Williams ( i think that was his name) mainly because he was to slow.

I've seen Bradford play a bunch of times I don't need to watch a full 6 minute video to realize what the Oklahoma system is.

OU's system basically spreads out the other team and lets their elite talent at the skill positions pick it apart, all Bradford had to do was read the single coverage presnap or actually look to the sideline for his audible and get the ball out, it's the same stuff Missouri does, etc etc.

Just OU has better players than Missouri does for the most part.

Fraility, ability to take snaps under center, spread system = legitimate concerns.

Saying he has a bad arm and/or isn't that accurate is just plain dumb and untrue. He threw some beautiful balls in the Championship game. IIRC, there were a lot of dropped balls in that game.

Mecca 02-18-2010 10:41 PM

His arm is ok, but even that should be questioned after an injury to his throwing shoulder.

I know the chiefs have a lot of holes,but if he were there when they pick in the 2nd,would you take him??

It would have to be strongly considered. With that said, cartilage issues are chronic, they only get worse. However, given the NFLs move to softer surfaces, I think that is less of a concern than it was 10-15 years ago.

He will be getting open in the only spaces where our QB has any accuracy. He's worth more to a team like this than another team, IMO.

Furthermore, if we were to draft a guy like Clausen (won't happen), TEs are excellent investments.

Now it might have looked bad for the draft and for his college team but the fact that he opted to have his knee cartilage repaired by stitching it back together is a good thing. If he had opted to have it removed he could have come back to play this year but it would have made the knee injury a much longer term thing that probably would have shortened his career.

I'm not against drafting TE's at all, I just wouldn't do it in the top 15 or think when I had one it meant I didn't need WR's.

How do you not know this?

I'm talking about them being condiered better prospects then Bradford. I expect him to get drafted higher then those 2.

I would take him in the 2nd, but his hands aren't that great, but I suppose Tony's weren't that great either his first year with the Chiefs.
