Let's put all the QB talk right here

Stafford has a lot to like as well. However, he is not as accurate as Bradford. And at Alabama he looked like trash, probably because he was running around trying to make something happen. But on his int, he just lobbed it up into triple coverage. That's not good decision making.

One of the reasons why Stafford isn't as accurate is because his mechanics aren't as refined as Bradford's. Bradford has excellent mechanics for a college QB, but Stafford has far more natural physical ability. He's bigger, more mobile, and he has a cannon for an arm. If he works on his footwork and tweaks his throwing motion, there is no reason not to believe he can't be a Carson Palmer-type quarterback.

The ONLY area Stafford has Bradford hands down beat is arm strength.

Their builds are quite comparable:
Stafford is 6'3" 230
Bradford is 6'4" 220

Their 40 times are quite comparable:
Stafford 40 - 4.7
Bradford 40 - 4.64

Hell, their names are quite comparable:
Stafford: City in Britain
Bradford: City in Britain

Bradford throws on the move just as well, from what I've seen, as Stafford. I can't wait to see their Wonderlic scores.

Got that from the NCAA site. Didn't use the Sooner stat site, but they list him as 6'5". More inclined to believe the stretched 6'4"(more inclined to believe 6'2"-6'3') stat, as for his weight they list him at 218... probably pretty close, I stand 6'2" and weigh 235ish. Standing next to him I don't notice any glaring differences in our sizes other than his flatgut and my beergut.

Well, I am not a member of the commission of weights and measures, so I have to go with what the NCAA tells me.

And Bradford is only 1 1/2 years into a starting Q.B. position in one of the toughest conferences in college football. He already has excellent mechanics? I would say he has a lot of potential to be a great one, wouldn't you? Maybe his accuracy has something to do with his receivers looking like they are wide open constantly, I looked at the highlights you posted and one thing I noticed from them is that he rarely puts a ball where a defender can get it. (only 3 INT's this yr) He tends to lead his receiver away from the defender, puts a ball where the receiver isnt slowing down to catch it, uses strength passes and touch passes extremely well, and in those same highlights I saw him make some throws you said he doesn't make. Who is to say whether Stafford or Bradford is the better Q.B. and why even bother debating it.

I haven't seen him throw a 15 yard out or a 20 yard square-in on a frozen rope when one of his WRs is wearing a DB like a cheap suit. It doesn't mean he can't, but to assume he can because he can play pitch and catch against f***ing Baylor is just flat out reeruned.

My only point is that I have watched him for 1 1/2 yrs., and to answer your comment..... yes, I have seen him throw a 15 yard out and 20yrd square in on a frozen rope. And I have seen him put the ball in a hole between two and three defenders covering the receiver like a cheap suit.
