piranesi Posted September 27, 2013 Posted September 27, 2013 The thing with Bradford isn't that he's awful. It's that he's just there. He inspires no emotion whatsoever.He's becoming a poor mans Matt Schaub. Ugly Sanchez? Too soon?
Death From Above Posted September 27, 2013 Posted September 27, 2013 There's nothing wrong with his throws mechanically. But tonight he made around 12 throws that were just really poor decision making. Guys who were clearly not open, or in some cases double/triple covered. He hasn't really shown a lot of growth in that area yet, and that's concerning.
Josh Mann Posted September 27, 2013 Posted September 27, 2013 Of all the qbs who have been drafted since him to become starters, the only guy who hasn't lapped Bradford is possibly Brandon Weeden and Blaine Gabbert. That's right, Tebow and Christian Ponder have done more in the NFL than Bradford. Think about THAT. And Tannehill HAD been neck and neck but is on the verge of leaving Bradford in the dust.

The Man Known as Dan Posted September 27, 2013 Posted September 27, 2013 I still think Minny takes Ponder for Bradford and runs, but I think the only other team in the NFC who does that is Tampa due to whatever the fuck is going on in Tampa.
Death From Above Posted September 27, 2013 Posted September 27, 2013 I was fond of this myself: http://sprtshumor.lockerdome.com/media/109694103 Because Venn Diagrams are the best. Really need to switch New Orleans and the Bears on that though. Come on, Bears fans have been famous for being obnoxious for at least 40 years now.
RIPPA Posted September 27, 2013 Posted September 27, 2013 The Maps Are Up Oh great... I'm getting the Giants game... Yay?!?!?!?!?!
Ryan Posted September 27, 2013 Posted September 27, 2013 Why the hell would they get DAL/SDG in western Wisconsin? All three Fox late games could wind up being awful for various reasons.
jaedmc Posted September 27, 2013 Posted September 27, 2013 Oh man.... My late game options are Jets/Titans or Philly/Denver? That's not really an option is it?
Mr. Monday Morning Posted September 27, 2013 Posted September 27, 2013 Looks like it's Matt Cassel time at Wembley. Oh boy.
Jrag Posted September 27, 2013 Posted September 27, 2013 The biggest problem with Bradford is the price tag. He really hasn't ever had anything around him, I don't think he is awful, but the Rams drafted a fucking QB in the year right before the lockout. What? They had to know the direction the league was going in with the rookie pay scale. Watching Cam play well for a 3rd of the price has to suck.
pipGofern Posted September 27, 2013 Posted September 27, 2013 Well, the Browns got BACKUP MAGIC~! from Brian Hoyer last weekend, I guess the Vikes figure they'll give it a try with Cassel this week. He couldn't possibly be any worse than Christian Ponder. Between the Steelers and Giants being 0-3 and the Packers and Niners limping to 1-2 starts, this has been some horrible booking by Roger Goodell. He really should pass the torch to HHH. Say what you will about Hunter but at least he knows what's BEST FOR BUSINESS.
Fat Spanish Waiter Posted September 27, 2013 Posted September 27, 2013 Ponder has cracked ribs. He will return and it will be amazing.
Jrag Posted September 27, 2013 Posted September 27, 2013 So if each division put together an all star team, how much better would the NFC North be than everyone else?

Say what you will about Hunter but at least he knows what's BEST FOR BUSINESS.I disagree. He's clearly booking just like Triple H. Take the most popular teams(Giants, Packers) beat them down for a a few weeks. And just when the internet has cried enough tears, turn turn tables. We just haven't gotten to the point where Aaron Rodgers is saved by The Usos and Zack Ryder. And Ndamakong Suh spears Randall Cobb before someone puts him out of his misery.
Kuetsar Posted September 27, 2013 Posted September 27, 2013 Gee the pathetic, one dimensional Vikings vs Shittsburgh as the national game. . . with Nance and fucking Simms no less, FUCK London , and Goodell.
Newb82 Posted September 27, 2013 Posted September 27, 2013 I'm getting more than annoyed that at least around here, neither FOX or CBS have double-headers anymore, so if the Bills are getting killed (like they probably will be Sunday), I have no other options other than the NFL Network scoreboard.

They had to know the direction the league was going in with the rookie pay scale. Watching Cam play well for a 3rd of the price has to suck. They still have the 'Skins 1st rounder this year as well as their own. They have to at least consider cutting their losses on Bradford and going with a younger, cheaper option, I would've thought. Dude is just not worth what he is being paid and hasn't really progressed (not that his supporting cast or coaches have helped, but still)
Brian Fowler Posted September 27, 2013 Posted September 27, 2013 One would definitely think this is a make or break year for Bradford with the Rams. Especially if Washington keeps being terrible, and that draft pick ends up being high.
piranesi Posted September 27, 2013 Posted September 27, 2013 How many years does a QB get to be a "phenom with potential"? This is his fourth year. A good QB lasts how long total? 10 years? 15 if eveything works out amazingly well. At some point in a year or two, he is half way through that life expectancy and people are still saying "Once he blossoms!!!!" it doesn't make sense anymore. Sanchez was four year in when people started saying "Look, this is just what he is...he's fully formed and that's as good as it gets."

What's worse was Tony Dungy talking up Joe Webb, like he was gonna throw for 400yds and run for 150. Then Webb went out there and put on the worst QB performance I've ever seen in a playoff game.
