Guess you could argue he's done more, but he's no sooner cut in Denver in favour of a second year guy who was a 7th round pick, and he's signed by Dallas.

Yes they gave up a lot but he will restructure his contract and play behind Teddy next year. Thats the logical scenario. I think he makes a lot next year but there's a buy out for 4 mil. I doubt he's a backup and imo he's better than a healthy Teddy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because he has talent he will keep getting chances. The issue with Bradford is health not ability Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a promising young player who just suffered a devastating knee injury, he might not even be ready for the beginning of next season He'll be just fine by the start of next season. It isn't even week one of this season. He tore his ACL. Peterson came back and tore the league a new one. Bradford is a deep hope that the season isn't wasted because they are playoff contenders. Simple as that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You really want to compare a freak like AD to a kid like bridgewater? A non-contact knee injury with a complete ACL tear and knee dislocation could very well take more than a year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An excellent defense, some young offensive talent and a Top 5 Running Back for whom the window will be closing in the next 2-3 years. You have to strike when the opportunity is there.

A non-contact knee injury with a complete ACL tear and knee dislocation could very well take more than a year Based on what I read it was swift trainer intervention that saved his leg from potentially needing amputation ... that's not the sort of thing you just bounce back from. Here's a bit from a quick Google search ... Quote Knee joint dislocation is the displacement of either or both lower leg bones (the shin bone [tibia] and/or the fibula) from their normal positions at the knee joint. This is an uncommon injury and usually is associated with majortrauma. The dislocation of these two bones of the lower leg represents a significant disruption of the knee's structure and can lead to amputation of the lower leg due to rupture of the popliteal artery if not given immediate emergency care.

I still don't understand how a well-trained, elite athlete can take a wrong step without anyone touching him that causes his leg to almost need to be amputated. Need some consultation from Frank Moga, MD on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need some consultation from Frank Moga, MD on this one. There's a lot of pressure on the legs there if you land funny, if one support fails the whole structure crumbles. The worst I've seen was when the kid from louisville shattered his leg back in 2013 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knee dislocations involve a lot more than a torn ACL. I posted about it earlier This was a Marcus Lattimore type injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need some consultation from Frank Moga, MD on this one. His ACL was probably partially torn, not unusual, and he just caught a spike just right to complete the ACL tear along with either/both of the MCL/LCL. When the knee dislocates, there is risk of tearing the popliteal artery as well as creating possible damage/injury to the peroneal nerve which would be devastating to a professional athlete and may take years to recover from. Knee dislocations are also associated with fractures in some instances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artemusclyde Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 ITT a bunch of people talking about Bradford who have obviously never watched him play. Wanna know Bradfords stats for 2015? 65% completion rating, 3725 yards, 19 tds to 14 ints. Also, here's the team that surrounded him showing off their talent. Dude obviously sucks though and was carried by his team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love that they didn't just quit on their SB season aspirations and instead went for it even though realizing that they held none of the cards and were going to get ripped off in the deal.
