They were saying that it may have been Bradford not wanting to play in Detroit.

He could always make Elway/Manning-like demands, and still get paid. Plus, there's absolutely no guarantee that Detroit would have taken him. If that's his line of thinking, the I understand EXACTLY why scouts may not have liked him. |

I'm not. The 1st overall pick is always going to play for a lousy team. The Dolphins were a once every 25 years exception. For that matter, the Lions will probably be going #1 again next season.
What's he going to do, tank next season in an effort to drop a few slots? The difference between #1 overall money and even #6-8 money is pretty huge, especially for a QB. I can't imagine he'd be that selective about which lousy team he plays for. If he thought he were going to the Lions, I think he'd be in the draft for sure. |

If that's why he stays at OU then he is a stupid idiot. I think he's just a chicken shit pure and simple.

In all fairness, it's insane to think he made this decision because he didn't want to play for Detroit. He could have easily pulled an Eli and said he wouldn't play for them. However, if he didn't want to play for that franchise, I sure as hell wouldn't blame him. That's arguably the worst franchise in professional sports. |

There's no way a kid is going to pass up being a Top 5 pick in the NFL Draft, making $50M+ unless he's been told he's NOT going to be a Top 5 pick. Then again, it IS Oklahoma. Maybe he's getting a piece of a Lexus dealership. Last edited by OnTheWarpath15; 01-14-2009 at 03:30 PM.. |
