THE PICKER
Here's what all the experts are saying about the Thunder, past and future:
Blah, blah, blah, blah.
Blah, blah.
Blah.
Blah, ...
Who gave Perkins all that money and said he was the real deal?
Who drafted the KU center who couldn't play?
Who ...
OU football coach Bob Stoops had this scoop during his Tulsa campaign stop: The bottom of the SEC stinks.
What campaign ...
A good to great NFL quarterback must have two things, it's that simple; or complicated.
A high quality quarterback has to have quick feet. Tom Brady couldn't outrun his wife. Peyton Manning couldn't outrun the Picker. But all the great ones have the ability to get out of the way of the rush, to keep from being sacked. They have pocket mobility.
Next, the best ones have a quick delivery. You can't stand back there and look around. Some 290-pound speedster will sit on you. The ball has to come out fast.
Sam Bradford and Brandon Weeden had lousy pro games last weekend.
Each looked a little slow on the draw, slow afoot, and late with the delivery.
Both were easily and repeatedly sacked.
The terrific new quarterbacks, Wilson at Seattle, Luck at Indy, Griffin at Wash, all looked good and quick.
Bradford has a good coach, a nice defense, decent catchers. He was paid a ton and a half of money. Weeden isn't young. But he is new.
Sure, it's early.
Both need to get much better.
Quickly.
