yeah, that is what the world said.....and that was probably true in regards to week 1 and the start of the year.

but when The Golden Calf of Bristol got on the field and started as a rookie.....Bradford wasn't better. Could easily argue The Golden Calf of Bristol was more impressive as he did more.

You're right, The Golden Calf of Bristol's 50% completion is far more impressive than Bradford's 60%, especially considering the number of snaps they both took.

That's also why Brafford was a consensus success and The Golden Calf of Bristol's role is as uncertain now as it was this time last year.

The Golden Calf of Bristol was dropping like a rock for a reason.

Sooo if he was so amazing why are there questions in Denver rather he will be the starter or not??

Coaching makes a difference and what they prefer....

there are probably plenty of coaches that would look at Bradford's body of work and the fact that 75% of his pass attempts were less than 10 yards downfield.......and would say he isn't ready to run my offense.

I never said he was amazing....said he was just as good as Bradford. Bradford was not amazing.....

Coaches and direction of offenses play a HUGE role in what appears certain or uncertain going forward.....

What happened in the draft has nothing to do with a comparison of how the two looked when they started as rookies. The Golden Calf of Bristol generated more offense when on the field and did more. Can't argue that...

With what he had to work with... The Golden Calf of Bristol was pretty impressive.

How you embed videos?

Because Bradford had All pro WR's to throw to and that's why everyone says they should pray Julio Jones falls to them?

With Fox as their coach? The Golden Calf of Bristol has no chance.

Fox may have said nice things about The Golden Calf of Bristol pre-draft last year, but he will start Orton until he is forced to make a change.

Fox thinks of QB's as a necessary evil. If he could win with another blocking TE on the field, he would go that way.

You're a regular Ram's statistician.

75% of your throws being less than 10 yards ain't impressive......

The Golden Calf of Bristol did more....and generated more offense when on the field. That is my arguement for why he was just as good.

Now you tell me why Bradford was so much better.....

Whatever Fox decides I'm sure ownership is on the same page... If ownership believed in The Golden Calf of Bristol they would not hire a coach who didn't.

I understand and agree with your point. When Fox was hired, he initially said a lot of good things about The Golden Calf of Bristol.

Some time later, he dropped the bomb that Orton would be the starter, and Elway was forced to speak to the press for some damage control. So I'm not sure there is a consensus for or against The Golden Calf of Bristol within the organization.

Because he did just as much for an entire season, with an equally crappy supporting cast.

You'd be hard pressed to find many people who thought The Golden Calf of Bristol was as good as Bradford.

hey, Bradford played a whole season...The Golden Calf of Bristol didn't. Facts are facts though, when The Golden Calf of Bristol started he was a more productive QB and did a wider range of things from the position.

I mean you can argue Bradford did it for more games......sure. But there is nothing showing he was better in his starts than Tebows starts. Not on the stat sheet or eyeball test.

Bradford and The Golden Calf of Bristol are not our QB's nor are they going to be so it doesn't really matter

What matters is the fact cameron newton will be a bust...not only does Urban Meyer refuse to talk about cameron's poor history at Florida (a very telling sign coming from a man with a lot of integrity) but Hurney says that no one has called to try and trade up to #1 (another telling sign)

If cameron was that good...with all of the teams that need a QB...someone would have inquired as to the trade availability of the #1 pick

Fixed it for you, those are opinions not facts. :coolgleamA:
