Heres my last opinion on Bradford and Clausen which may persuade you all:

I think a great way to evaluate QB's is by seeing how good their receivers are. For example; A lot of people thought Matt Ryan would not be a good pick and isn't that good of a QB. I always thought he looked like a great NFL QB, people didn't really like him because he was slightly slow at times, and he threw lots and lots of picks. Then I saw an analyst say "We look at the receivers he had to throw to...NO ONE!"

Which brings me to my point. Think about it, Tom Brady had only David Terrell to throw to at Michigan, and Terrell was out of the NFL 4 years later and was a 6th round pick.

Peyton Manning had Peerless Price and that was it at tennessee

Drew Brees had No One to throw to at purdue

Rivers, Manning and Roethlisberger had no one to throw to aswell (except cotchery was there a little bit)

Aaron Rodgers had no one at Cal

Jay Cutler ....nope no one at all

Now, one of the exceptions to this rule is our own QB Jason Campbell. He had great running backs, but no WR's

So lets look at our 2 current QB's that are graded as first rounders

Jimmy Clausen has Golden Tate (projected first rounder), Michael Floyd (projected first rounder) and Rudolph the TE (projected 5-6th rounder).
He had great players to throw to.

Sam Bradford had Jauqin Igeliasis (3rd Rounder), Manuel Johnson (7th rounder), Brian Broyles (Jr. Will probably be a first rounder, definite second rounder) and Jerhmain Greisham (projected first rounder)

I think you got to go with Bradford because he was able to do the most with the poorer quality receivers. Watching a lot of Clausen highlights, there were a lot of times that he would under or over throw Tate, and Tate would somehow come up with the ball. Bradford, would put the ball where his receivers would be the only ones to get it. Other than greisham, bradford didn't have that many good receivers, and was able to get the ball to the receivers and not make them have to adjust for it nearly as much as Clausen.

Let's get Sam.
