Let me ask you this, and be honest, did you watch him play mush last year? If so, he went down field a lot more, made some incredible throws. This year he didn't have to do so much.
He has a long way to go, but I just get sick of people not giving credit when it's obvious that he has some serious potential.

I'm one of the few people that refuse to make that ridiculous comment that he doesn't make NFL-caliber throws. He does, but he's not required to nearly as often as Sanchez and Stafford.
He's obviously a talented college QB, but he has more going against him in regards to becoming a NFL QB compared to the other two.
Playing in a pro style offense is a HUGE advantage for Stafford and Sanchez.
Does Bradford have potential?
Absolutely.
But is that potential worth a $60M investment and a top draft pick, knowing that he has a hill to climb right out of the box, learning how to take snaps, use proper footwork on drops, and read defenses pre/post snap?
Bradford has potential, I'm just not sure it's going to be realized early enough to make him worth that large of a financial investment.
Even Herbstreit and Corso said he's going to have a large learning curve if he does declare.
