Excellent post from another forum. This guy sums up all my concerns about Bradford.

Sooner homers, take a Valium before reading.

That is totally crap to me, you put Bradford on the Chiefs or Lions you are telling me they will greatly improve their team? Seriously?

The kid is good but I am way more impressed with the talent around him, than him alone. I a WAY more impressed with the offensive line talent blocking for him, I am more impressed with the tight ends on that team as well. I am even more impressed with the running backs that bound the football.

It is just the kid has everything, and I mean EVERYONE at his finger tips. He pretty much has the perfect offense, great players at all positions.

What I hate again is the hype, the franchise saving hype the kid gets. And I say again, you put any other QB in that offense, they will look damn good as well. Put him on a team with a crappy offensive line, no running game and no receivers to throw the ball too.


And then people say Sanchez has talent on USC. That is true but no way is his offensive line as ridiculously talented as Bradford has. On top of that, Sanchez makes professional throws down the field, he has a better arm than Bradford and plays in a more pro style of offense. Sure Sanchez makes those throws because they allow them too, or Bradford does not make those big throws because he cannot do it.

ALSO, Sanchez has greatly improved over last season. Last year he showed signs, this year he is showing much improved ability which makes one believe he can become better and better as a player and keep improving. Bradford, really he has no where to go but down. What he is going to complete 70% of his passes in the NFL? Please....

If Bradford had a bigger better arm, then yes maybe he is worth the hype. But simply look at his arm strength, I am not taking accuracy I am talking strength, I question is greatly.


So dumb down this NFL franchise hype around him and he will not get so much hate. In my book though he gets way to much love to be honest.
