Sam Bradford Back to OU

Nothing official yet but it appears that Sam Bradford is coming back for at least one more go around with the Boomer Sooners. Not that it's a huge detriment to anything on our end but it certainly does make one game more difficult than it already was going to be.

I thought he would

his stock really went down in the National Championship game. Might be a late 1st rounder but I think teams would be wary of a QB who might end up being a project.

I disagree.

I still think he would have gone Top 10.

I know, as a Chiefs fan, he was my first, second and third option. And that’s at #3.

I thought he played fine in the MNC; that one pick at the goalline at the end of the half wasn’t really his fault, and the one that changed the tide definitely wasn’t.

Its not that

he was bad, its that he was completely overshadowed (rightly or wrongly) by Tebow.

Wrongly, I'd say.

He was far-and-away the better QB throughout the entire game. Just because Tebow started to run at the end, particularly on little triple options to their TE Hernandez, and his team ended up winning doesn’t mean he played better.

But, I suppose, that’s what the media’ll give you. And I’m not saying you said Tebow played better at all. I’m just pissed off with the general acceptance of Tebow > Bradford. Uh, no.

+1

Bradford is undoubtedly the better QB, especially if we are talking NFL QB. Tebow can run and is tough but just look at his first INT. Throwing across the field to a wide open receiver, his ball just floated in the air and was picked off by an OK safety who was just sitting over the middle in a zone.

He needs to add some weight. He’ll be ready to go next year.

And I’m hoping we can beat them, but a bit of a pipe dream…

Insanity is just a state of mind.

They also return everybody else now too...

don’t remember the names off hand but the DT, TE and one other guy all said they’re coming back…OU will be stout next year to say the least.

Some people are like Slinkies...not really good for anything but they make you smile when pushed down the stairs.

Still.

That whole team, just about, was that O-Line. 60+ points in five straight games to close out the year. Then, all of a sudden, a team can finally actually get pressure on ’em and they only score 14. And they lose 4 of 5 O-Linemen, IIRC.

So, yeah, they’ll still be good. But unless they have a huge surplus of O-Linemen who can step in without a hitch, they will be worse next year.
