Why is Weddle publicly commenting about another team's FA moves and on another player's contract? Pretty bad form. I'm sure he'll be taking less money on principle, right? Has he commented about how much Flacco's been overpaid?
Agree. He’s not wrong though.
Which is why they changed the CBA. ALL players were paid too much in the first round coming out of college back then. It isn't Bradford's fault. He hasn't skipped games or tanked games or left early or given up. He doesn't try to get injured, that's just bad luck. Why criticize any player trying to get as much as they can get, while they can get it?
More of a testament to the teams than it is to Bradford. The teams are the ones signing him to these ludicrous contracts, even though he's done nothing to warrant them. Keim is just another one of the dumbo's that fell for the bait.
This.
I think "nothing" is overstating things quite a bit. When he's healthy and when he's been on a decent team, he's shown that he can perform at a top 10 level. Maybe not elite but many teams would love to have that kind of production. They have rolled the dice on him staying healthy but I don't think they've been burned by him not performing. Solid to good QB play gets you paid in the NFL.
Highlight reels can be misleading but as I mentioned before, check out the 1:33 mark and the pass that Bradford hangs in there to complete. He has made many of these types of passes since the trade to the Eagles and doesn't get much credit for it. I suppose the criticism is warranted but IMO, it isn't balanced. Bradford does a lot nice things at QB.
Well...he's never had more than 4k passing yards in a season...never led a team to the playoffs...has a losing record...his most TD passes in a season is a staggering 21...has a career QB rating of 85...and half of his career he's been out due to injury. If you were to see all that info without a name attached, and see that they were getting paid $20M...you would probably laugh in disbelief.
Well, considering Bradford isn't "getting" $20M, he's getting $15M with incentives, I don't find it particularly unbelievable. You're right that he hasn't put up gaudy numbers but should he have transcended his personnel and teams each year? Some of it is definitely on Bradford. He is slow to trust his receivers and isn't aggressive enough all the time. But he's been on some really bad teams. And bad situations. Some wouldn't consider the actual circumstances but I think it's fair to temper some of his numbers because of where and when he's played.
With all of the QB talk, I was curious as to how this year's crop of QB's stacked up to past players. Darnold clearly has the best grade on NFL.com with a 7.0.
Honestly from a non-biased stance, i think a bridge QB like Bradford is a good idea right now for AZ.
I disagree. All things being equal, meaning health and durability....Bradford is a better QB.
Before the injuries? So you've got his high school tape? That's some deep scouting dude, good on you.
The first "highlight" was a 13 yard out. No need to watch the rest because it's obvious we just signed a Joe Montana clone.
This team also has a very questionable coaching staff compared to last year’s.
What is his rating on the Leenart scale?
