Sam Bradford Scouting Report
 

Not quite as glowing:

<table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr><td colspan="2" align="right">Height: 6-4¼ | Weight: 236 | 40-Time: 4.75 </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" align="Center"> http://www.draftcountdown.com/headsh...ambradford.jpg
Official Bio

http://www.draftcountdown.com/images/stars/four.gif </td> <td valign="top"> Strengths:
Prototypical height with a frame that is still filling out --- Very intelligent with a good feel for the game --- Extremely accurate --- Outstanding touch, timing and anticipation --- Quick delivery --- Consistently throws a pretty spiral --- Decent athleticism --- Nice footwork and moves well within in the pocket --- Shows great ball handling ability --- Makes good decisions and takes care of the ball --- Tough and will stand tall against the rush --- Calm and composed --- Very competitive --- A team leader both on and off of the field --- Excellent work ethic --- Super productive.

Weaknesses:
Durability is a huge concern --- Just average arm strength --- Mechanics are not textbook and drops down to three-quarters at times --- Will have to adjust to working from under center --- Must learn to read defenses and go through progressions in a pro style offense --- Does not have a good feel for pressure --- Won't make a lot of plays with his feet --- Limited experience --- Stats were inflated by a spread system.

Notes:
Was basically just a two-year starter for the Sooners --- Father, Kent, was an offensive lineman at Oklahoma in the late-1970's --- Citizen of the Cherokee tribe --- Won the Heisman Trophy, Davey O'Brien Award and Sammy Baugh Trophy in 2008 --- Earned 1st Team All-American Honors in 2008 --- Was named the Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year and also took home 1st Team All-Conference honors in 2008 --- Led the Sooners to back-to-back Big 12 titles ('07 & '08) and an appearance in the BCS Championship game ('08) --- Set a number of NCAA and school records despite starting just 31 career games in college --- Would most likely have competed with Matthew Stafford to be the #1 overall pick in the 2009 NFL Draft but opted to return to school for another year of development --- Sprained the AC joint in his right (throwing) shoulder in the 2009 season opener --- Tried to come back after missing a couple of games but was reinjured and eventually underwent season-ending surgery in late-October that was performed by the renowned Dr. James Andrews --- Certainly has plenty of positive traits to get excited about but there are also a lot of unknowns and major question marks, including: 1) How will his arm respond after being surgically repaired? 2) Can his body hold up to the pounding it will have to endure at the next level? 3) Will he be able to adapt to a pro style offense or was he simply a product of Oklahoma's system that enabled other quarterbacks like Josh Heupel, Nate Hybl and Jason White to put up huge numbers as well? --- A highly-decorated, prolific signal caller with adequate physical tools and first-rate intangibles --- Could very easily emerge as a successful starter in the NFL but there are also serveral ominous warning signs that indicate a considerable bust factor.

Basically he's a spread QB, is how that reads.

With italicized durability concerns.

Still want to see him drafted by the Redskins.

Rams Fan here. In St. Louis, it seems like Bradford will be the pick if he shows that he's healthy.

Detroit, Tampa and Kansas City thank you.

Seriously, though. They signed Feely and it doesn't seem like Bulger will be back.

A darkhorse pick may even be Clausen, if Bradford isn't healthy and they don't like Suh or McCoy.

And if Detroit takes Okung, Seattle thanks them both.

We know, no preaching here. Most figured it would be a QB anyways.

They resigned a TE they like, Fells. If Bradford isn't the pick and they want a starting QB, they may trade the 2nd Round pick for Vick.:shake:

I want Suh to be the pick but I doubt he will be. And Chiefs fans, you have a bright future with Charles, Chambers and Bowe.

**** you and your positive attitude!

:)

Heh, tread lightly.

The regime in KC seems like it has a good future. What do you think about the Rams future?

Well we don't have a QB so our future isn't so bright.

5 or 6 more linemen away from immortality!

You have a better coach and a soon to be a franchise QB that is two pluses over the Chiefs.

I don't think there's another team in the league that has as far to go as the Chiefs and the Rams do. Hope you have the right executives and hope they can put it together in the next 3 years.

STFU

We have a pretty good RB. How was the Dorsey and Jackson pick?/ROFL

Dorsey is fine, our jackass GM switching to the 3-4 was stupid as hell.

Maybe. Spagnuolo has the foundation down but the question is will Devaney make the right pick?

Indeed. Dorsey was the best player in the draft. Jackson wasn't even the best at his position. Then the switch to the defense that has no components in place.

We have a few busts. Carriker maybe a bust but Hill was, he's gone, we have no great WR.

Dorsey was NOT the best player in the draft. Long was.:cuss:

:spock:

jake or chris?

If you say Chris, Im gonna laugh because he wasnt even the best Chris (Johnson) and if you say Jake, Im gonna just assume you're a fool.

poted via ****ing around with the nOOb device

I say C.Long over Dorsey. Also, the Rams didn't need Johnson.

PS: How do you make a custom avatar?

send my pay pal $5 and Ill hook ya up.

or just donate it to the site and Ill play ball...

Dumb question. What is casino cash? Do I donate that?

no, real $$$$...hit the green donate icon toward the top of the screen and donate $5 or more and we will assist you to no end.

Welcome to America

















J/K just go to user CP and follow it for edit avatar

I think Spagnuolo can be a good coach, but he needs to be paired with a GM that's better than Devaney.

Spags will be a good coach, no question but Devaney may turn out to be a good GM.

We'll see. They seem to like Bradford a lot, along with a lot of other scouts. I don't see it outside of the fact he's a "nice guy, can be a leader" along with playing in a Sooners system that has done a good job inflating random QBs stats.

I still don't know how to make a custom avatar. Anyways, the Rams and Chiefs will be good within the next 1-3 years.

Do you have a pic that you want to have as your avatar?

If yes, go to userCP at the top of the screen and then go to edit avatar on the right side and go to the bottom and select browse and select the pic from your computer and then click save changes and there you are.

I suggest something that isnt personal. This place can get nasty if you joust with the wrong cracka....

you can owe me

He is basically Trent Green.

I went to UserCP. I keep on getting to the avatar screen but I can't find the browse option.

there are three boxes on that screen, your current avatar, predefined standard avatars and custom avatar. In the third box "custom avatar" is where you want to look, click use custom avatar and in that box are 2 options, one is to enter the url for the pic and the second is to upload from your computer and has a grey box labeled "browse" hit that and select your pic and hit upload.

then hit save changes at the bottom of the screen and you should be good to go (except for donating $5 minimum to the site ROFL)

Now, the first thing you should do is seek out a poster named Dane McCloud and start a argument with him and don't back down, no matter what...when you feel that you have finished there seek out a poster by the name of Hamas Jenkins, you should take an opposing stance with him on whatever he is saying and fight to the death...after that you should go ahead and start a new thread or two that cover stuff that you have just read here on CP...that will get you a lot of brownie points with the veteran members around here and will buy you some street cred of sorts.

Good luck nOOb, if you need further tips I will always be here to help just shoot me a PM!

One small problem. It currently says Your Current Avatar and Pre-defined avatars.:mad:

pretty sure there is a round icon that you have to click to use a custom avatar towards the bottom.


Maybe you have to donate first ROFL worth a shot

"Cracka?"

Is that racial? Are you trying to denigrate caucasians?

Like the world needs more racism when we are trying to come together and embrace a global community.

Well, Im a cracka.

Heres a little something for the dumbass on the go...

The pic is so tiny... the photo of Jimmy the Hand Model engulfs it, and seeing that he's got hands no bigger than a dwarf squirrel, that's saying something.

Tom Brady and Peyton Manning came to mind reading that evaluation.

It's blocked at my work, but I'm sure it entertaining :)

Not nearly as entertaining as your previous post.

Tall, intelligent, accurate, stands tall in the pocket, good leader, not great but good enough arm.....

Marginal arm strength
Serious durability concerns
Ominous warning signs.
Considerable bust potential
Doesn't know how to read a defense or go through progressions
Needs to learn to work from under center.


Reads exactly like Peyton Manning's scouting report to me

I still think he's better than Clausen and if he were miraculously there at five I wouldn't mind at all if the chiefs took him. IMO, Clausen is a bigger gamble.

Peyton's arm strength is over-rated because he is so accurate nobody cares.

But anyways with so many questions marks one would think you would take me up on my offer and get rid of me forever. Especially considering the amazing season you claim Sanchez had last year.

Every village needs an idiot.

And you are worried you might gone for a bit.

I just don't see STL drafting ANOTHER DL with their first overall pick. They already drafted Chris Long and Adam Carriker.

What? :spock:

I've been shitting pancakes.

ROFLWe're now feeding noobs to the wolves?ROFL

:facepalm:

Flat rock, splatters.:D

The more and more I look at this year's QB class and next year's, I like next year's over this year's.

To be honest, I like Jake Locker a lot. If there wasnt a Weis connection, I would likely be saying it would be better to wait till next year and draft mostly defense (save one possesion/slot receiver and a couple OL) this year

But Jake Locker didnt play our offense for three years in college and have an equal amount of experience being coached to be Charlies guy.

Even without the Weis connection, I think Clausen is a better prospect than the other QBs (save Locker) coming out next year...JMO

I'm not a Locker guy personally.

If Locker came out and skipped his Senior season, he'd be the #1 overall pick.

A high amount of people have said this and when that time comes, repeat the same stuff again. Everyone wants the league MVP QB, but nobody wants to deal with actually suffering through the shitstorm of getting one.

That exact thought is why the Rams are drafting #2 overall, again.

Uhhh.. #1 overall.

whoops, hit the wrong key.

E: nvm, I seem to be in last years draft mode for some reason lol. Going from 2 to 2 to 1 just makes a stronger point, etc.

And makes me feel even worse about this year. How good is Jamal Charles?

real good, he's just a half step/step behind Chris Johnson when it comes to breakaway ability, and is a decent WR out of the backfield too.

Sounds like S. Jackson accept smaller and not a big RB. I don't get the Jones signing then.

He's faster than Jackson, the Jones signing is for Charles to get a breather and split the carries nothing more. This is due to Jamaal not being a true workhorse RB, because he'll get killed if he doesn't have anyone to spell him.

Bradford named offensive rookie of the year!

Hamas had such a great 2010

Because he's gonna be Brady or Manning...

How was your year, Pizza Boy?

Oh that's right. Full of shit, as always.

You just said he was top 5 material so he are we talking about then? Rivers? Ben? Brees? Rodgers? That's pretty damn close to Brady and Mannning.

"That said, if he stays healthy, he looks to be a very good QB down the road, possible top 5 material" - Hamass Jenkins

http://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/showt...=199979&page=4

No, those two guys are probably top 5 all-time QBs. That's a hell of a leap from top 5 in the league.

I think before it's all said and done you will probably see Rivers and Ben mentioned as possible top 5 all time QB's as well. Rivers because of numbers and Ben because of titles.

I'm not putting Sam in the hall just yet either, but a SB and some great career passing numbers look very possible. I've said it before he was drafted and I'll say it again. IF he fulfills his potential I'm seeing Kurt Warner (The good version).

And Seattle ****s themselves to this point. Maybe he'll get and stay healthy. Not holding my breath.
