Good comparison. Most people thought Palmer was done when he went to Arizona.....Hell, I thought he was done when he was with the Raiders with all the freaking pick-6's he was throwing.
Palmer was a PB QB in Cincinnatti. I think i had him in my top 5 at one point back then.

Bradford was never that good. Not even close.

He completed a career high 65% of his passes last season for another career high 266ypg, another career high 7ypa, threw 19 TD's (to 14 INT's, granted that's not good), and 2nd best Passer Rating of 86.

You think playing with a HOF RB like AP will help him? Oh, and having a stellar defense?

Yeah, he's set up to suck ass. :L
You should buy a jersey then.

Most Rams and Eagles fans know what he is. There's a few poor saps out there that still think his ship is coming in. Gonna be a long wait.

I never said he was great, but he's a lot better than his haters say he is.

you again have the wrong cowboy fan ass clown.
I never went into much, ever about Bradford lacking. Shit, trading Bradford makes 3 wins the benchmark and 90% of Cleveland dancing naked in the streets....that was my point drama boy!
At least 1 if not 2 of the 3 wins will be against your team.

Great deal for Eagles, Vikings were desperate and dumb. Starting a rookie QB with limited training camp can get ugly. Hope he doesn't get hurt.

Just a massive overpay by my Vikes.

I am slightly more excited for the season than I was yesterday. But the season rests on the shoulders of a 31 year old rb and Sam Bradford both staying healthy and one having his best season as a pro.

It just doesn't seem like the type of gamble that will be worth a 1st rounder.

Part of this season will be rooting for the team to get to the playoffs. The other part will be rooting for Bradford to play well enough to the point we can recoup some of the cost of this trade next offseason.

Trade is pretty ridiculous. A 1st for Bradford? LMAO. Any piece of shit QB could hand it off to AP.

Just now getting to this thread and I'm sure its been said but it can't be said enough so here goes:

"My god the Vikings are dumb."


That's not an overpay. That's just reckless. Like the NFL should seriously launch an investigation to see if the Vikings Front Office was hacked by trolls who made the trade as a joke. No one that has ever watched Sam Bradford play football would consider that deal. I'd much rather go with Hill or sign Buttfumble than trade a 1st round pick for Bradford

The market price for QB's is crazy. This only helps the Browns as we have the Eagles 1st :evil:

I think the people who made fun of the Eagles for resigning Bradford (including me) should eat crow now. They are either extremely lucky or pulled off a genius move.

The contract is what thre me for a loop more than the signing.

yeah...they got lucky that a projected playoff team had a QB go down long term.

Bradford is an injury waiting to happen... Has that guy ever gotten through a season healthy?

The Browns always find a way to screw up their first round picks.

The challenge for the Eagles will be to take advantage of their good fortune. They don't have a particularly good track record with first round picks. Howie should spend his time with numbers and contracts and leave talent evaluation to someone else.
