Sam Bradford has requested a trade

[Quid Pro Clowe]

Qb's don't win the games by themselves. It's akin to a pitchers W/L record in baseball, they're both lacking substance.

You're so right. Joe Montana sucks, especially in the playoffs and Super Bowls. Gimme Bradford.

We should start crediting wins to middle linebackers and catchers and forwards and shooting guards too, I think.

Montana also had linesman blocking for him, rb's running the ball, and wr's catching passes. It's a team sport, as all of nhl, mlb, nba are.

 

[Hasbro]

One valid concern there is Bradford and Fitzpatrick being unknown in the playoffs. You'd hate to find out that possess the meltdown gene. Snachez and Kaep have that over them.

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

Kap has had one bad game in the playoffs. One. And it was more of a bad quarter than anything. He went into Gb, Atl, and Car and helped his team win.

i was complementing him.

Big part of why I wanted nothing to do with Hoyer.

I read that like they have it looming over them, not that they're beyond it.

Kaep and Sanchez have 4-2 records in the playoffs with decent stats.

I know. I just read your statement incorrectly lol.

 

[Spring in Fialta]

Kaep and Sanchez have 4-2 records in the playoffs with decent stats.

Sanchez is a weird case. Below-average regular season QB, but he did make some big plays in the playoffs for the Jets and was more than a passenger during these two runs.

yes, and Sam Bradford = Tom Brady

final scores are so meaningless!!!

 

[What the Faulk]

^ Not at all the same as

Wins are irrelevant when evaluating a QB.

I'm not quite sure how you drew that conclusion.

 

[Say Hey Kid]

You're so right. 60-70% of today's plays are running so the QBs deserve less credit and the RBs deserve more.

 

[Voight]

Kaep and Sanchez have 4-2 records in the playoffs with decent stats.

Yea Sanchize will do just fine if he's the starter if Denver makes the playoffs. He's got two AFC Champ games on his resume.

 

[What the Faulk]

You're so right. 60-70% of today's plays are running so the QBs deserve less credit and the RBs deserve more.

100 percent of the plays could be passing plays but the QB sure isnt blocking for and throwing to himself.

 

[Big Poppa Puck]

^ And he doesn't play defense and special teams either.

 

[Gene Parmesan]

Wins are a team stat. Why is this even being debated?

 

[Bonzai12]

oh man the comments from his agent are just legendary.....

"From our perspective, Sam wants the opportunity to go someplace to not only be the starter, but be the starter long term," Condon said. "And I think there's a couple of things that go along with this. If you're on a two-year contract and the second pick in the draft is behind you, you better play really well, because you're going to hear it from the fans if you don't. You better play well or your teammates are going to be looking at you sideways, wondering when the other guy is going to step in."

"Sam would like to forgo all that."

"I think from that situation, Sam's only been in the league for six years and he wants to go someplace and be there to stay as long as he plays well," Condon said.

"He certainly can make his wishes known that he wants to go somewhere else and be situated there for the rest of his career. Sam's a competitor. He wants to go someplace where he can be the man. He doesn't want to be holding a place card and then wondering where he's going to go at the end of the year"

In other words, Sam Bradford is our first millennial QB in the league that needs to have the QB job without really needing to compete for it. Cause that other guy behind him could be better *gasp*

 

[What the Faulk]

Think of it like this. What if Bradford *does* do well over the two years of his contract? Well, too bad, they didn't invest a #2 overall pick in a QB for nothing. So he becomes a free agent in 2018. At 30. Any team that signs him still isn't thinking that he's a long-term solution. At 28, maybe that's not the case. But not at 30. It's not him not wanting to compete. It's not wanting to be in a no-win situation.

 

[Avs_19]

Bradford saw an opportunity to get to the Broncos so he went for it. The trade didn't happen for whatever reason and they spent a 1st round pick on a QB so now it's all good and he's back. It'll be funny if he ends up losing his starting job out of training camp now.

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

If he wanted to be a long-term solution then he probably should have looked for a deal longer than 2 years.

 

[What the Faulk]

Signing for only two years doesn't mean you can't be a long-term solution. Extensions are always a possibility.

True, but he should worry about what he can control before getting that far ahead of himself.
