darrelgreenie Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 ];7246982']We just have to find the guy perfect for shanahan's scheme. If the two go hand in hand then success will be inevitable. Well that and a better OL, more production from the running back position, more TOs on defense and better special teams play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StillUnknown Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 That's certainly where I stand too. I will be behind any pick/trade they make at 4. Having said that, I believe the best course of action would be to take Bradford (if they are high on him), build the line through the rest of the draft and FA, and make a decision this summer on whether you've improved your line enough to play Bradford. If it's still in shambles, let him sit. If it's improved (even if not completely rebuilt), let him play and learn. As you mentioned, 2010 isn't a playoff year so why not let our rookie (SAFELY) take his lumps? i agree with this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rufus T Firefly Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 Gotta agree with this. I think Bradford has potential, but to say that he is hands down the best prospect since Peyton Manning is an enormous stretch. Manning had superior footwork, better mechanics (though that doesn't mean Bradford's mechanics are bad), played against much better defenses, had a better arm, had an extremely high football IQ (as much as I've heard that Bradford does, the whole thing of getting his defensive reads from the sideline is a little troubling, whereas Manning made those reads on his own in college). Manning also didn't have a throwing shoulder that he hurt and then re-injured. If any scouts thought he was the best prospect since Manning there wouldn't even be a conversation about who would be going #1 overall. As it is, Bradford may be lucky to be a top 10 pick, depending on how well he can throw on his pro day, etc. Saying he is "the best prospect since Manning" actually isn't comparing him to Manning at all.

Mackdaddydean Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 what happened the last time we draft a "stud" from OU that was hurt in college? I think it took him 2 years to make a catch... you can have that garbage... Dude if you know anything about Malcolm Kelly its that he's lazy. He was lazy in college and he's starting to realize that if he wants to be any good at the NFL level he has to actually work. This has more to do with his lack of production than the fact that he went to OU or had an injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redskins55 Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 So who paid this blogger to change his assessment? There is nothing in that BYU game that would suggest that Bradford is "franchise" material. It was BYU :doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-Rad Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 I think that too. I still can't wrap my brain around why some think drafting a QB and building the OL are mutually exclusive. You can do both. We should do both. Exactly my thoughts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
