Sam Bradford Scouting Report - Page 4

'Hamas' Jenkins · 03-10-2010, 08:23 PM

Not quite as glowing:

Height: 6-4¼ | Weight: 236 | 40-Time: 4.75

Official Bio

Strengths:
Prototypical height with a frame that is still filling out --- Very intelligent with a good feel for the game --- Extremely accurate --- Outstanding touch, timing and anticipation --- Quick delivery --- Consistently throws a pretty spiral --- Decent athleticism --- Nice footwork and moves well within in the pocket --- Shows great ball handling ability --- Makes good decisions and takes care of the ball --- Tough and will stand tall against the rush --- Calm and composed --- Very competitive --- A team leader both on and off of the field --- Excellent work ethic --- Super productive.

Weaknesses:
Durability is a huge concern --- Just average arm strength --- Mechanics are not textbook and drops down to three-quarters at times --- Will have to adjust to working from under center --- Must learn to read defenses and go through progressions in a pro style offense --- Does not have a good feel for pressure --- Won't make a lot of plays with his feet --- Limited experience --- Stats were inflated by a spread system.

Notes:
Was basically just a two-year starter for the Sooners --- Father, Kent, was an offensive lineman at Oklahoma in the late-1970's --- Citizen of the Cherokee tribe --- Won the Heisman Trophy, Davey O'Brien Award and Sammy Baugh Trophy in 2008 --- Earned 1st Team All-American Honors in 2008 --- Was named the Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year and also took home 1st Team All-Conference honors in 2008 --- Led the Sooners to back-to-back Big 12 titles ('07 & '08) and an appearance in the BCS Championship game ('08) --- Set a number of NCAA and school records despite starting just 31 career games in college --- Would most likely have competed with Matthew Stafford to be the #1 overall pick in the 2009 NFL Draft but opted to return to school for another year of development --- Sprained the AC joint in his right (throwing) shoulder in the 2009 season opener --- Tried to come back after missing a couple of games but was reinjured and eventually underwent season-ending surgery in late-October that was performed by the renowned Dr. James Andrews --- Certainly has plenty of positive traits to get excited about but there are also a lot of unknowns and major question marks, including: 1) How will his arm respond after being surgically repaired? 2) Can his body hold up to the pounding it will have to endure at the next level? 3) Will he be able to adapt to a pro style offense or was he simply a product of Oklahoma's system that enabled other quarterbacks like Josh Heupel, Nate Hybl and Jason White to put up huge numbers as well? --- A highly-decorated, prolific signal caller with adequate physical tools and first-rate intangibles --- Could very easily emerge as a successful starter in the NFL but there are also serveral ominous warning signs that indicate a considerable bust factor.

Tom Brady and Peyton Manning came to mind reading that evaluation.

Not nearly as entertaining as your previous post.

Tall, intelligent, accurate, stands tall in the pocket, good leader, not great but good enough arm.....

Marginal arm strength
Serious durability concerns
Ominous warning signs.
Considerable bust potential
Doesn't know how to read a defense or go through progressions
Needs to learn to work from under center.

Reads exactly like Peyton Manning's scouting report to me

penchief · 03-11-2010, 09:22 AM

I still think he's better than Clausen and if he were miraculously there at five I wouldn't mind at all if the chiefs took him. IMO, Clausen is a bigger gamble.

Peyton's arm strength is over-rated because he is so accurate nobody cares.

But anyways with so many questions marks one would think you would take me up on my offer and get rid of me forever. Especially considering the amazing season you claim Sanchez had last year.

I just don't see STL drafting ANOTHER DL with their first overall pick. They already drafted Chris Long and Adam Carriker.

then hit save changes at the bottom of the screen and you should be good to go (except for donating $5 minimum to the site

)

Now, the first thing you should do is seek out a poster named Dane McCloud and start a argument with him and don't back down, no matter what...when you feel that you have finished there seek out a poster by the name of Hamas Jenkins, you should take an opposing stance with him on whatever he is saying and fight to the death...after that you should go ahead and start a new thread or two that cover stuff that you have just read here on CP...that will get you a lot of brownie points with the veteran members around here and will buy you some street cred of sorts.

Good luck nOOb, if you need further tips I will always be here to help just shoot me a PM!

We're now feeding noobs to the wolves?
