Malcolm Kelly gives his thoughts on Sam Bradford

I don't remember him being particularly accurate, definitely not in the 2009 BCS Championship game.

Yeah 63% is pretty erratic if you ask me.

what else would MK say? Of course he's going to give a glowing report about his teams old QB.

Exactly, I'm sure he's praying Bradford comes here so he'll get more looks. Although I agree with everything he's said.

Come on Bradford put Kelly on the map and vice versa. I will say this til I get blue in the face, Bradford is a good to great QB that was on a loaded team that could have beaten the weaker teams in the NFL. Along with this fact is that with the exception of Texas and a newly rebuilt Nebraska program, there wasn't much in terms of competition in the Big 12. Mizzou and T Tech went down a notch in '09 from '08, and the rest of the conference as well. Get a QB in the mid rounds that showed poise, put up good numbers, against competiton that was equal or stronger most every week or just made things happen on a team that wasn't stocked with NFL caliber talent. Face it, Shanny has a major rebuilding task on his hands and any newbie might have to be able to deal with adverse game situations. In short, guys on teams that faced tough competition most of or all of the season and didn't play down to their competition or just roll over inferior opponents. Yes I am talking about the Pikes, Lefevours, etc of the draft. Bradford and Clausen are garnering all of the hype, but there is a gold mine of great potential Qbs coming out this year. Also, the injury thing still has to worry any sane person. Yeah, maybe the injuries were hyped up, but still do you think this guy is going to be able to take pops from Demarcus Ware and co for 16 games? I mean if we draft this guy I am going to root for him 100%, but I am going to cringe extra hard every time he takes a nasty hit.

So are you comfortable putting everything on JC this year and if he fails having our plan B being a QB class where none of the top 3 prospects threw for over 60% last year (Mallet, Locker, Prior)?

I mean think about it we have two of the most accurate QB's in college history at our disposal not to mention another guy who hit 68% of his passes this year in Clausen. The best part is we don't have to give away picks to select any of them. That means one extra player that we can add on the line or wherever else we have needs.

Look strength of competition isn't the only thing. Matt Ryan came out of the ACC, Joe Flacco came out of....well somewhere. Jamarcus Russell on the other hand played in the Conference of the God's and at this points he's a huge bust. In fact outside of Cutler under Shanahan the SEC hasn't really produced any QB's lately though I do believe Stafford is going to be pretty good up in Detroit.


We already passed up Drew Brees on account of JC, lets not make the same mistake again and pass up on a possible franchise QB.

I was under the impression that Gibbs wanted a veteran QB? (Brunell)

Ya, plus we had just draft our QB of the future Jason Campbell, so there wasn't a need for us (then) to give up on JC and Mark Brunell, besides theres about 25 other teams in the NFL saying the same thing now..."Why didn't we get Brees 4 years ago?"

Before we bury Jason Campbell, I for one hope that Allen/Shanahan upgrade the O-line and give Campbell a fighting chance to succeed.

He sucks even with an OL.


He had great protection on that one play against the Giants and he ended up fumbling it for a TD . Hes 2nd worst than Heath Shaluer as our QB of all time, even Ramsey had the dignity to try and give us a comeback win .

^agreed, I think you could give jason the cowboys or giants OL and he'd still suck. The problem with JC is that he sticks with one receiver and is afraid to throw to his second option. He stares down his receiver too much and doesn't have a good pocket presence as to when to get the ball out. A lot of people here are saying that we should give jason a one year chance this year to prove himself...Umm, Hello, he has had 5 years to prove himself, and he's had to change offenses a lot and relearn them, so why would another new offense be the trick to him being worthy of keeping?? Just go ahead and draft Bradford, keep campbell as a backup, not starter.

It is beyond debate that our O-line was one of the 3 worst in the league after Samuels and Thomas went down early. It doesn't matter who you put in at QB when he's getting hit every other play. Tom Brady would have sucked behind our O-line this past season.
