I had this guy as the best QB prospect in the last four draft classes - my only sure thing, can't miss in many many years, but even I am a bit surprised how quickly he's picking up the game. I realize that we won't be winning many games this season, but hopefully, even my Rams brethren, the backstabbers, and bandwagon jumpers that they are, can finally forget about Marc Bulger and AJ Feeley, and start enjoying what's going to be a very bright future. I can honestly say I haven't been this excited about a quarterback since 1999, when Kurt Warner came in for a busted up, injury prone hack that was Trent Green. As good as Kurt Warner is, one of the greatest QBs in NFL history, you can't help but start the comparisons.. Sam Bradford has a better arm, slightly better accuracy, and about the same leadership capabilities, which will show more as the weeks go by.
It might not be fair to compare Sam Bradford to Kurt Warner this soon, but when you draft the best QB prospect in many many years, you can't help but be excited about the future. I'm not going to bash Washington either, because Mike Shanahan will even tell you, that McNabb wasn't his first choice to play under center - it was Sam Bradford. Shanahan worked the phones more than any other HC for that #1 spot, saying that Sam Bradford was the best QB prospect in years - something Shanahan and myself agree on.
While Sam is only 7th on my top 10 list for NFL quarterbacks, I have no doubt in my mind he'll be moving up as the seasons go by.
