GunnerBill Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 I feel for him. I thought he really showed some stuff last year and seemed to start 2017 on fire that opening game vs the Saints. Bradford's legacy will end up being "not a Franchise QB" but I still think he had the talent..... his health has failed him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloBill Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 Wait for the offseason as rules changes will occur to they to protect QB’s even more. There is way too much money riding on these guys to have them in the medical tent and off the field. Personally, I’m not sure what else can be done other than making defenses count Mississippi’s after the snap but before rushing the QB. They are already greatly restrained in what is supposed to be a very physical game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BringBackFergy Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 Bradford is made of paper mache (not a knock against him...poor guy just has back luck or bad joint structure). I guess I appreciate Tyrod's ability to stay on the field (although there are days I wish he was watching from the sidelines). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marty McFly Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 Can Bridgewater still play? The way they described his knee damage it sounded like his mcl acl turned to shredded cheese with his kneecap looking like a flapping hamburger bun made from a sloppy cheeseburger maker at Wendys that kinda pisses you off cuz you been lookin forward to that burger all day, and now u have to re arrange the fckin pickles on the burger cuz those !@#$s stacked 3 pickle slices right on top of eachother and the cheese melted to the burger melted halfway off the burger bun.

Hapless Bills Fan Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 $70M on injured QB, several with knee problems Wonder what the cost would be, to change fields to grass and install the technology to keep it in good condition 11 hours ago, WhitewalkerInPhilly said: Well, if we want to take a shot in FA his contract is up and he's a pending free agent. No. Please, just no.

GunnerBill Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 13 hours ago, Chandler#81 said: So, anyone interested in acquiring Bradford next offseason? I think he'd allow Dennison to run a bit more of his offense with the WCO timing routes and quick hitters back in there, but he is a sideways step from Tyrod at this stage. Better passer, better rhythm thrower but arguably a less dynamic playmaker (doesn't throw as good of a deep ball and you lose some of the dynamic plays TT can make with his legs). If they want to move on from Tyrod and feel like they need a vet on a 1-2 year deal to groom their rookie then I would be in favour of Bradford. He has played his most consistent ball of his career in Minnesota. He was actually the route I wanted to the Bills to go in 2015 when Orton had retired and Rex had arrived.

The Vikes have been winning games with Keenum most of the season so why should they suddenly stop now? Detroit has some significant problems of its own, like it can't seem to score TDs against decent Ds, so until the Lions prove otherwise, the Vikes are in charge.

Lions remaining schedule includes: 2 games vs Bears; the Buccs; the Browns; the Bengals; the Hundley Packers. I see them ending around 10-6. The Vikes remaining schedule includes: the Redskins; the Rams; the Panthers; the Falcons. Of course they play each other in that time as well..... and that could be critical if the Lions were to win and sweep the Vikes for the year they probably win that division. The NFC North is still very much to play for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see the logic here. Bradford hasn't consistently looked all that great when he's been healthy that the Bills should jettison Taylor for him IMO. It's true, he hasn't played on particularly talented teams until Philly and the Vikies, but still, I think swapping out Taylor for Bradford is just "the grass is greener with a former #1 pick" syndrome. The Bills have a decent QB who knows the offense and has proven to be durable and adaptable. Until/unless they draft a younger QB who can prove he's better, you stick with what you've got IMO.

I wasn’t being fecicious when I asked. Of course his knees are a major liability, but he’s a smooth passer! If Dennison remains McDermotts’ choice to orchestrate the O, Sam fits.

I could be wrong, but I don't see the Vikes maintaining their momentum with Keenum, and if Bridgewater has to step in, who knows how long it'll take to shake the rust off. Record-wise, you're right, but I think the momentum will shift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never walked right. Much less back on the Same roster that held hope for him.

Mr. WEO Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 No on Bradford. Has there been more money wasted (by multiple teams) for a guy this injury prone ever? Bridgewater seems like he won't last long on that "miracle" knee. Recall that he nearly lost his leg just running a practice drill without contact. Keenum is already on pace to put up "Bridgewater numbers", such as they are... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Hindsight Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 Awesome for Bridgewater. Sad for Bradford, hes played well in recent years when he's been healthy, just cant seem to stay healthy. His week one performance was incredible. I thought he had finally turned a corner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
