As judged by talent scouts? Perhaps you're right. As judged by statistics, division titles, playoff wins, comeback victories? Not so much.
Look, I thought Bradford would be a solid starter coming out of OU. I thought Russell would be a bust coming out of LSU. Was I right on Russell? Probably. Was I right on Bradford? It's not looking good, but there's still a shot that I was. Point is, I have no reason to root against Sam Bradford, but when in two seasons, the only two names who have performed worse than you are a rookie Jimmy Clausen and a rookie Blaine Gabbert, and a horrible Curtis Painter, well, that's definitely not worth ignoring, right?
