Sam Bradford Camp

[Rey]

So far Bradford by most accounts is looking very good in camp. Looking and feeling healthy while showing excellent accuracy. Sanchez has taken a back seat and it doesn't look like there will be any QB competition as long as Bradford stays healthy. If Bradford's health continues to be a non issue, I think this team will be right there for the division title. I'll continue to keep my fingers crossed.

Good.

Good to hear from you again Rey! Long time!
I agree with your assessment, plus I think that Dallas will take a step back this year. Just sayin'.
It's ours for the taking.

Our season rides on Bradford's health. Not much different than any other team in the NFL. I would be absolutely shocked if he made it through the season healthy. We should be crossing our fingers every single play this year that Bradford can stay healthy.

 

[old duke]

Same with Romo. Can he stay healthy all year? Having your starting QB means everything with any team.

Waking up from the summer posting slumber I'm sure most of the regulars will be back soon as we're about to rev up the engines again.

Well today is the first game of the year -- football season sure came fast this year!! Probably cause I've been busy non-stop, but it has it perks.

I think we're a playoff team with Sanchez at QB, but I think we're a real threat in the playoffs with Bradford at QB. If healthy (of course) Bradford should be in line for easily his best season yet -- we're absolutely loaded with weapons and RBs, a great offensive scheme, and not to mention an underrated defense that should make the life of opposing offenses much harder than last year, which in turn will help our offense as well.

I read these reports of how good Bradford looks, and yes it's a good sign no doubt -- but this is where Bradford routinely excels. He doesn't have the anxiety of being hit, and he can showcase his arm talent which has never been an issue. Even dating back to his STL days, he was always a big time camp player -- I studied him a lot because he was a QB I targeted for multiple years in fantasy football in my 2QB league, I was a big fan of him during his sooner days and I really thought he would've been a superstar already, but certain circumstances has stunted his growth. The biggest thing I take away from camp this year, is that his knee seems to be right on track -- if not maybe a little bit further than hoped….which is great news. This is a QBs dream offense, and this should be the year Bradford starts fulfilling his promise. We must keep him upright for the most part and let him go to work with that live arm. He needs to be able to trust his o-line so he doesn't get killed or frantic in the pocket like he did in STL….which was just 1 of the reasons why he flamed out over there.

Tis the season fellas!! We made it

Having a very good RB will also help.

I was at TC today. What an awesome crowd - 43,000 fans! some of the bottom teams draw that or less for regular season games. If healthy, Bradford is the real deal. Accurate and strong. I can't wait for next Sunday to see real game action. The Colts are going to be real good, so this will be a good test.

I hear my boy Josh Huffs tearing it up!

I thought Graham was your boy?

Good God, I hope Matthews and Agholor produce.

 

[old duke]

Well, Wings has good taste - even though he is a pervert! .
Graham will be a beast this year, plus we now have depth at OLB - I believe.
Watch out for Marcus Smith. We'll know more this Sunday when we play the Colts.
And for Huff - he will be really good. He's getting used to the NFL, as most rookies do. And, he is a real Chip guy. He will do what he has to do, and is coachable.

He is! But I loved the Huff pick and people have bashed it! I thought you wanted Graham cut? LOL

 

[mall3013]

I hear that Marcus Smith blew up Dennis Kelly in practice. Damn I hope he turns it around. We need him. Also, high praise for Bradford. It sounds like he is zipping the ball with velocity and accuracy. I cannot wait for CFB and the NFL to start up.

 

[old duke]

That's not saying very much. Kelly can't play. Don't know why he's still on the team.

Pass rushers take a few years to develop at the pro level because contact at practices has become very limited at both the college and pro level. To become a good pass rusher you need reps and contact to improve your leverage and moves. College pass rushers don't get enough of either and become one trick pony's relying on speed around the edge on game days. It's almost like they have to learn once they reach the NFL as opposed to years back when they were less green coming into the league.

 

[Deano]

I'd love to have another good OLB. For every big play Graham makes, he misses two.

Stick to baseball, you know that much better!

Bradford always looks good in practice and camp. People were raving about him with the Rams around this time last year. The question is whether he can stay healthy, and whether he can regain his confidence. I saw some reporters tweeting that although he throws a beautiful ball, he still looks tentative moving around out there and seems to lack the swagger that most pro athletes have. I hope Chip helps him overcome that, because he could be like another ex-Ram, Jim "Chris" Everett.
