He's right.
There are a TON of similarities between Bradford and Geno. I think Geno has more mobility and significantly more room for improvement through his legs than Bradford did at the same stage, but as of today they are extremely similar prospects. Which is why I'd take Clowney over Smith right now but would take Smith over anyone that's likely to be available. A more mobile Bradford with upside is a fine use of a #1 overall pick.

I've always thought Bradford was overrated, especially since his surrounding talent at OU was phenomenal.
And LOL at Fisher for sticking with this guy when you could have had RG3. So glad we didn't hire Fisher here. We would have continued our excellence of 8-8.

Rams are 1-0 vs RG3. RG3 also had a pretty severe injury to end the season and Bradford's worst injury with the Rams was a high ankle sprain.

Yeah, I'm sure those 4 1st-round picks in the next 2 drafts will pale in comparison to broke-knee RG3.

They chose to keep developing Bradford plus Moving down to #6 (traded again to Dallas for #14 DT Michael Brockers and #45, traded again to Bears for #50 RB Isaiah Pead, outplayed by 7th round RB Daryl Washington, and #150 OT Watkins, whom I know nothing about) Note Chicago used #45 on WR Alshon Jeffrey, whom I think would have helped STL more than Brian Quick, or Pead and a 5th round OT. and 2nd round #39 CB Janoris Jenkins and 2013 1st round pick (#22) and 2014 1st round pick (TBD) Worth it? Only time will tell, but two 1st round picks the next couple years is a good position to build around Bradford IMO. |

Watkins, who had a problem coming into the preseason, was injured Week 1 vs Detroit and placed on IR. Quote:
1. He was sacked for 30 consecutive games, the longest streak in the NFL, until the last 2 weeks when they didn't allow any sacks. 2. For the last time, Bradford hasn't really had any injury issues. He played all of the games(and snaps) in 2010 as well as playing in all of the games in 2012. 2011, he suffered a high ankle sprain, which was made worse due to Spags thinking he was on the hot seat, thus rushing Bradford back into play behind a roster that went from one of the youngest in the NFL to one of the oldest due to one offseason of signing a shit load of guys to 1 year deals. Yes, while some people expect more from Bradford, there are many more who realize he's done fine considering the situation that surrounds him. Fisher even said that Bradford's struggles are from the talent that surrounds him, not him. |
