Comments on: Unfavorable comparison for Bradford http://blog.newsok.com/ou/2009/10/26/unfavorable-comparison-for-bradford/ Oklahoma Sooners sports blog from NewsOK.com Fri, 03 May 2013 05:54:36 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5 By: Brett Aquila http://blog.newsok.com/ou/2009/10/26/unfavorable-comparison-for-bradford/comment-page-1/#comment-7764 Brett Aquila Wed, 28 Oct 2009 15:07:55 +0000 http://blog.newsok.com/ou/?p=1795#comment-7764 That is indeed a fair question, and quite an interesting note by Razzano about quarterbacks who struggle to make the transition rarely faced much pressure in college.

I would add that those same quarterbacks also had more of an option to run in college than they will be given in the NFL. The NFL has shown that 98% of the time you need a top 10 QB to reach deep into the playoffs. You just can’t afford your QB to get hurt. They’ve recently adopted the “Wildcat” offense in the NFL because you have such a huge advantage with a quarterback that can run – but of course they’re using a running back that can throw instead of a quarterback that can run.

There’s a long history of OU quarterbacks struggling in the NFL – I’d love to see Bradford break that mold and do something big – but it’s going to be a wait and see kinda thing – nobody will know what he can do until he’s out there on Sundays.
