Bills interested in Sam Bradford


Recommended Posts

If we sign Bradford we habe to address the offensive line with as much urgency as the DL.  I don’t like the guy because I have zero confidence that he will stay heathy enough to lead us to anything more than playoff contention.  If healthy, he’s a great pickup.  BIG if.  He needs a great OL to be worth picking up imo.

Sounds as if someone is brewing up an excuse.

Man I have no interest in him. Has he ever made it through a full season? 

Thanks you! Even if he has made it through "1" season I still want nothing to do with him and his patchwork legs. Dudes made of glass and waste of money!

I get that. It all depends on how the Bills handle the situation and I have faith in this FO. The thing I like about Teddy is he could provide an opportunity to add a decent pick down the line because of his age, Bradford definitely does not.

 

Bridgewater would be a decent bridge/insurance policy short term and potentially have some trade value long term (if of course you get him cheap, which I think is possible).

This would be good for the Bills but bad for Bridgewater. If I’m his agent I would wait till post draft to see the lay of the land. I’d want the best opportunity for my client to be the starter for now and the future. Teddy is different to me than most of the other FA QB’s. Teddy is young and a lot of upside. I’m Not totally sure what he can be yet.

A bit like Tyrod when he came to the Bills, Bridgewater will only go to a place where he feels confident that he can win the starting job. He wants a one or two year deal where he gets to show that hes fine healthwise and then hopefully land a big payday.

We need to beef the oline up either way. The right side doesn’t look so good at the moment

Worked great for EJ.

What is it like in your world where you pretend all the QB prospects are the valued the same and some team has the magic fairy dust that would have made EJ a good QB?

With respect to playing EJ too early you are misinterpreting that scenario. He was a third or fourth round talent drafted in the first round. That was simply bad scouting and evaluation. I don't care whether he got plenty of development time or not he was not going to be a franchise qb. He simply wasn't and isn't good enough. Both Rosen and Mayfield are much more prepared to play relatively quickly compared to  EJ.

 

I may be misinterpreting, or you may be misinterpreting.  Third and fourth round talents succeed in the NFL sometimes.

 

Either way, none of us get the "do over" so we can find out.  But I don't want to do that experiment again.

 

I agree about Rosen.  Mayfield, probable.  Anyone else, no.

For sure.  I just have a feeling Mills will be our RT come opening day. He wasn’t good, but he was serviceable enough to make the playoffs with him playing a RT all year......and he’s cheap. I think we’ll probably draft a guard or center in the top 3 rds and hopefully Groy will play whichever position the draft pick doesn’t play.  Maybe we spend FA money on a starting OLmen but we have too many holes.....especially if we plan on trading multiple picks to get into the top 4.  If we trade into the top 4, I feel that a good draft would consist of that QB and 2 more starters.  It’s going to take more than 12 and 22 to get top 4 imo.

Buddy said he saw Bradford dining with Bills Brass at Sear about a half hour ago.

 

Sorry, no pics or anything concrete.

 

They have to distract him from the news that we traded an o-lineman until he signs the contract

This morning i about puked my breakfast when i tead this story.watching nfl network today when the bengals trade was announced i thought about it and was like yeah bradford makes total sense if tge bills are all in on trading for a franchise qb..bradford can mentor the rook n if we get 6/8 games out of him and he does get hurt we throw the rook in a 1/2 season early..

We need a high end free agent imo for that right side.
