Dismissing Bradford is Stupid

The Browns have the seventh overall pick, two thirds, four fifths, Rogers, Jackson, Quinn, and...I don't know if I can...H-h...the Ghost (God that hurt)...

And listen: Bradford is all that, absolutely. He's THE prototype West Coast QB, with rare accuracy. There may well be an opportunity here to trade up, especially since Bradford is injured, and only merely has a pretty strong arm, and not the cannon which so many think is anywhere near as important as accuracy.

A C C U R A C Y.

If you're the Rams, sure you need a quarterback, but then you need everything else too. In the real world, any quarterback you get doesn't have much protection or many weapons. You can't tell the FANS that, of course!

Realisticly, you know you have to build stuff up, and can't do it in one offseason. You need more STUFF way more than you need a quarterback who will be destroyed.

How can you make the most improvment quickest; get the most stuff fastest?

You answer the phone and say yes. Yes to #7 overall, Rogers, Quinn, and Jackson. At least Quinn can run around. And there's even one reciever in the draft who could catch his passes, given a little time to get to the general area where it might come down. (Fans are too dumb to know that the ball is twelve yards off the mark. They think if it's caught it's a good pass).

Rogers AND Jackson--you kidding me? Jeez you might discover something like an actual defense!!! Tell the fans "Well we got three players including a pro-bowl nose tackle and a first round draft pick QB". Hard to argue with that!

Now are you really going to tell me they wouldn't go for it? Why not? OK then let's toss in a fifth rounder too, how 'bout that? OK ok would you rather have Shaun Rogers or a high second round pick? If you have to think about that, go back to sleep.

Ditto Jackson, who LED THE NFL IN TACKLES two seasons ago.

I WANT BRADFORD!!! THIS guy can be as good as any QB in the NFL! Clausen and the rest--who knows? They all got warts. Bradford NEVER had a bad game, and his accuracy is natural and built-in. It can't go away. And he's definitely absolutely smart enough to use it in a West Coast offense!

As for when he'd start, ideally he doesn't right away. They need to get him some more help. He already has tight ends who can catch (especially Moore), an offense that can grind it out on the ground, Masseqoui, and (I'm confident) Robiskie.

All the defense needs to do is take up where it left off, and, with the ground game, he's kept out of carrying the team. This is exactly how the Stoolers brought Roethsenburger in. They protected him.

The Browns can do that. The Rams can't, and they know it.

There are other possibilities, of course. I'd actually rather see rogers stick around and move around on the defensive line, wreaking havoc from various angles. Much as I like D'Qwell, he's a commodity--the right quarterback is everything.

Hell, a lot of experts think the Rams really want one of the two super-DT's anyway. If that's true, then why don't you just compare them to Rogers? He's a game-changer who is better than both, and the hell with combine numbers. He's under contract, ready to go, and can't bust. AND, compared to what you'd pay for #1, he's even CHEAP! You could bribe some good free agents!

Think with your brain, for cryin' out loud!

Don't ass ume the Browns can't get Bradford. Remember, when you ass ume, you make an ass of yourself. (Feel free to use that if you want).

BRAD-FORD! BRAD-FORD! BRAD-FORD!!!

YOU STAND CORRECTED.
