Things I like about Bradford:

1) Accuracy. When given time to throw, he is going to deliver the ball, and deliver it where his receivers can catch it easily. When rushed, he still puts the ball where his receiver has the best chance to get it.

2) Touch. Bradford can drop second-level throws into extremely tight windows. Best example of this was a throw last night where he fit about a 12-yard out into a postage-stamp sized area between a dropping LB and the corner for a completion. That's a throw a lot of NFL quarterbacks don't have in their arsenal... and I have seen Bradford do it consistently over the past few years.

3) Athleticism. Bradford is a good athlete with quick feet and runs very well. He has the speed to be an effective bootleg QB.

4) Footwork. Because of those quick feet, Bradford does a great job of using proper footwork, planting and throwing, and he's able to exhibit proper footwork in situations most QBs can't. This is one of the reasons he's so accurate, both when he has time and when is rolling out or on the move.

Things to knock:

1) Bradford hasn't had to do a bunch of checking down himself. All indications are that he is a bright kid, but it will take some time for him to get used to doing this himself.

2) His arm strength- while better than some give it credit for - is not elite. It's likely to improve some as he gets older and a little thicker (he's carrying what, 205 pounds on a 6-4 frame?), but it never is going to be jaw-dropping.
