(and obviouslly we don't have that now)

Dude, Bradford may have hurt himself by staying in school. Now he has a shoulder which has been injured twice and that will make personnel people worried. Bradford has developed a reputation among some people for being made of glass.

Ok man but Adrian Peterson was made of "glass" in college also, well now everyone is on his Jock... I understand he hurt his shoulder but obviously it hasn't hurt his draft stock too much.. And the reason is because he has Manning like attributes on and off the field.

The problem though is that whoever takes him is going to have to make a decision on him, more or less "in the dark" on his physical state.

I mean, every team will have medical reports on him, but no one is going to get to see him throw the football before his personal workout, and those are somewhat valueless anyway because it's not a standardized field like the combine, or at least a pro day.

So it makes him the ultimate high-risk, high-reward prospect. On the pro side, he was really, really good in pretty much perfect conditions two years ago. On the downside, what have you done for me lately? Not a whole lot.

Clausen is much safer because of that, but it's because he's safer that we don't have a chance in hell of getting him. Not that he'd be a good investment with this team anyway.

I would take Him or Clausen, I just think this team HAS to address the QB position through the draft next yr. I really hope this team doesn't go after A qb in F.A, (Brady Quinn, Kevin Kolb)

Many of you all seem to forget what Bradford did last year. Winning the Heisman, running the most efficient offense in college football history, leading OU to the national title game just to name a few. Granted he did have two All-American linemen protecting his blind side so we should probably look to draft OKSU's Russell Okung or UMD's Bruce Campbell before we consider drafting Bradford. Hopefully after the pro-days, workouts, and combines he'll fall to the 2nd round (though not likely). I think it would be cool to see Bradford as a Redskin; he is part native american. Having an authentic native american leading a team whose mascot is a native american would be awesome.

No DC these guys forget about what Bradford has accomplished, leading the best Offense in College History.. I have seen this kid many times in person and he is as cool off the field as he is on the field. I know I am making a homer pick but we would be in great hands drafting Sam.

College means jack once his bowl game is over Okie. How many of these over hyped studs make the grade anymore in the NFL. Answer: not too many. Only one current NFL QB that had obtained a lot of college hype has made it real big in the NFL and that is Peyton Manning. Eli won a SB, but won't rise to his brother's level of play. Flacco and Ryan were under the radar so to speak. Ryan did get some hype at BC, but not a whole lot compared to what the "dream 3" are getting now. Plus, Ryan is fading as of late. Not saying Bradford won't make it, but the odds are against him. Think about our sorry post Gibbs I past with QBs. The most successful QB in terms of wins if I am not mistake is my man Gus, and he came from Tulsa(Hey another Okie!!!!) a smaller university with not much fanfare. To me the thing is this. THese overhyped guys are from college football powerhouses totally stacked with talent, which usually totally outgun the competition. Add the fact that the Big 12 isn't known for defense and you can get a Colt Brennan type thing with Hawaii. In the NFL, Sam isn't going to have such an overwhelming advantage. IN DC his line won't be super dominant like the one he enjoys in Norman.

Why? We're looking at 3-13 IMO. What teams that are worse than us needs a qb. Clev, STL, Oak...if they give up on Russell.

Dude comes from a college football superpower that beats on average teams over every other week. Only Texas, Nebraska, T Tech, and maybe A&M give them any real competition, unless they play non conference superpowers like when Miami beat them.

Actually Bradford helped OU beat Miami 2 yrs ago, and he didn't even play in the Miami game this season.

I know that is why they lost this season. I am just saying they don't get too much real competition outside those 4 teams unless they play like Miami. OU usually plays Chattanoga St or someone like that for non conference games.
