57 Mocks Munched! Suh Consensus No. 1, Bradford for Skins

[CultBrennan59]

Ok, so I know some people on this board want Sam Bradford, and others don't. For those of you who don't want him, I think you should atleast watch these two videos of Super Accurate Sam, before you completely write him off. This is all of his passes from the national championship game, against the top ranked defense of florida who has atleast 3 first round picks starting for them in this game.

OK had a pretty good OL. Lot's of completions within 5 yds of LoS, missed at least two deep passes that should've been completed, forced INT late in the 1st half inside the 10. Forced another pass from under center into coverage in 2nd half for an INT.

The guy isn't garbage, but he isn't a franchise QB IMO. Can he be solid at the next level, possibly in the right situation. But I don't waste the #4 overall pick on him.

Question: whats LoS? Also after seeing Kurt Warner last night, this guy actually reminds me a lot of Kurt. Not the worlds strongest arm, but accurate, makes good decisions, isn't a runner, attacks the blitz, stays cool and calm throughout the game.

I think there are some similarities, both thrive in a spread style offense, both need a strong supporting cast, both are accurate, both cost their teams championships by poor throws inside the 10 in 2009 (a big portion of that issue I blame on both their Off Coords).

The thing with Warner is IMO, coming from the AFL (even though the talent level is nowhere near NFL caliber) because of the small field he needed to fit the ball into much tighter windows. I think this was key in his development into a very accurate passer in the NFL. He was also older when he came into the NFL, hence more mature.

Will Bradford make the transition? He has a good chance in the right system with a solid supporting cast. His best bet would be to slide down in the draft to a team like Arizona who has the rest of the pieces in place but has an aging QB and runs a wide open offense, maybe the Pats. I don't think he'll be a good fit here in the WCO, where there will be an emphasis on the run and play-action. We also have some holes to fill that may take a couple of years, he'll either sit and wait or possibly have his development damaged by a lesser OL than he's used to.

I'm impressed with Bradford's accuracy as well as his quick release. Both are real positives.

But otherwise, I'm not sure I would draft him at #4, either.
