enough of the andrew luck sweepstakes!

many people will agree with u that they wont take luck…buuut for some reason those same people will prolly want luck after bradford broke rookie records?

Honestly, who really cares if he was considered a top prospect coming out of college.NFL production is what really matters. JaMarcus Russell, Matt Stafford, Alex Smith, Eli Manning, Carson Palmer, Mike Vick, David Carr and Tim Couch have all been drafted #1 since Peyton. They were all considered top prospects too. So, all those guys have just as much “prospect” status as Bradford.

So by no means are you going to win this argument. Check Sam’s best year compared to Luck’s… case closed..

but worse receivers than Stanford. Also, look at the difference in their throws. Luck’s throws are much, MUCH easier than the throws Sam made in college. Luck can go deep, though a lot of them are ducks, but Sam did it so often with a 67.6% completion percentage.

It’s TE city with a very conservative approach when throwing.

Your comment about Stanfords online proves you don’t know what you’re talking about. Martin is a lock for the top 15 as a LT and DeCatstro is the top 2 or 3 guard who will at the very least be picked in the 2nd round and most likely the 1st. Owuso (spelling?) is also a very good WR and will be a NFL player and they have arguably the best TE trio in the country. So, yes Luck does have quality NFL talent around him.

Also completion percentage does not equal accuracy. If that was true then Mark Sanchez would be a more accurate passer than Bradford but if you actually knew anything you’d know that complation percentage is a direct result of the type of throws you’re asked to make, how aggressive the offense is, are your receivers going to catch everything. By the way only Malcolm Kelly was a NFL receiver from OU that Bradford has to throw to and he was a massive bust in the NFL. Gresham was a TE. Broyles was a sophomore when Bradford left and if you actually knew anything you’d know Bradford didn’t play in 2009 for OU because of the injury. So the only time he and Broyles were connecting was 2008 and Broyles was a non factor that season because he was a freshman. Broyles is Landry Jones receiver not Bradfords.

The mental part of the game for Luck and Bradford is a push. Bradford, coming out of a spread offense and not playing in a year picked up the West Coast offense and started the season as the starting QB. That speaks volumes of how well he absorbs information then taking that info and applying it to the game. If I remember correctly Bradford scored very high on the Wonderlic.

Bradford also has just as strong of an arm. But Bradford’s quick release is better than Lucks. Combine that with Bradfords mechanics, accuracy and smart decisions and you got yourself a better prospect or at the very least an equal prospect.

As for their mobility, it’s the same and the only reason why Luck runs is because he likes to scramble while Bradford doesn’t. But it’s clearly obvious that Bradford can take off is he needs to as well. By the way, I don’t want my QB scrambling, I want him to play like Brady and Peyton. I want my QB to use his arm to move the ball not his feet.

They both have comparable triangle numbers as well so neither one out classes the other in that department.

Let me break it down to you, because you have become almost worse than RamChop about talent evaluations and your draft knowledge is severely lacking. Bradford is one of, if not the best QB prospect since Peyton. The only reason why Luck gets the ridiculous attention he gets is because he plays in a pure pro-style offense and he runs it very well. If Bradford had run a pure pro-style offense the expectations and hype would have been awesome.

Bradford also played much better competition. The Pac-12 is a fucking joke, while the Big 12, while Sam was there, was one of the best conferences. While Bradford was there Texas, Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma St. and Texas Tech were all ranked in the top 10. Staford and Oregon are the only 2 schools that have been ranked in the top 10 since Lucks been there.

On top of that Bradford won the Heisman and took his team to the National Championship.

Yes Luck is a very good prospect, he has it all, but he has nothing that Bradford doesn’t. Not a single thing and where Bradford takes him is in the accuracy department. Bradford already has top 3 or 4 accuracy in the NFL.

Oh and one last thing. Sofli said that Bradfords combine interview was rated the highest by NFL teams since Peyton Manning. Brandt called Bradfords pro day the best since Troy Aikman and the Rams selected Bradford 3 months before the draft/ That’s right, Devaney admitted it in the ESPN Michael Vick issue a couple of months ago.

The only 2 knocks on Bradford coming out was his injury and offensive system he played in. And he destroyed both of those in his first year by picking up the West Coast system while setting numerous records and he took every single offensive snap for the 2010 Rams.

So please, don’t comment about the draft or how Bradford was viewed because you obviously have no idea what you’re talking about.

The reason people get mad is because Bradford is our guy and when people go off and say shit like “we should have drafted Suh” or “we should draft Luck” or “Luck is better” undermines the franchise player on this team.

To put it in another perspective I see Bradford as part of the Rams family, and soince I love the Rams and consider to be apart of the Rams family i.e. Rams community, and I think we can all agree that we’re a family here, it gets annoying and frustrating when people say “we should have taken someone else” or “this player is better”.

It feels like you’re insulting a family member. I would back any of our guys up in a debate and logically as I could of course, but none the less back them up. And it seems around here Bradford is a polarizing member of the team when he clearly shouldn’t be. He’s our franchise QB, our guy. A guy we drafted and a guy who will be with this team for at least a decade. So dreaming about other players for a position that is taken for the next 10 plus years is obnoxious and it seems more like trolling then innocent debating.

but it seems to me Luck is a more athletic, more polished Matt Ryan.

That is in no way a bad thing, but that arm isn’t going to take over games. It’ll win games, and it’ll make every throw, but Luck is not able to drive the ball in between double coverage in the NFL with ease, off the back foot or rolling out. Sam does.
I saw that game tape and that was what really cooled me off on Luck.

I initially thought Luck had a cannon (after seeing him overthrow every Wide Open WR downfield…) but he’s toned it back and become more accurate with it.

He’s just a better Matt Ryan while Bradford ha the ceiling of Kurt Warner. A ridiculously accurate passer with a ultra quick release and the poise and smarts to adapt quickly and counter the defense on the fly.

if after Peyton’s first two years you thought he would be a bust, or Farve, Joe Montana, or Steve Young. You can’t judge a QB off of his first two years and say he’s a bust, just pure ignorance because if so you would have traded Peyton or any of them guys I mentioned above..
