Did any watch Brennan Marion burn Reggie Smith's butt during the entire TU vs. OU game? How can you be surprised here? An extra year would have just exposed Reggie even more. Good move on jumping early, bro.

Can the Missouri quarterback play in the NFL?

Third-rounder?

If Paul Smith is too short for the league, bet your Al Esbach speech impediment that Daniel won't go far.

Why so anti-big 12? How about 22 first rounders in the last 5 years and a projected 7 for next year. I do realize that I am officially a loser for even glancing at a 2009 draft projection, but I'm cool with it. BTW 4 sooners are projected in next years first round, #8 being one Sam Bradford. I don't think he will leave next year but, his quick release, size and accuracy are very attractive to the
NFL. Stick to flowers and snauzers JC. Leave the nfl talk to geeks like me, and get off of the big 12!!

oops oops sorry for the echo echo

Chris, I can't tell if you think he is too slow, or not tough enough or both?? Either way I don't think it's relevant, just look at the best two QB's in the league, Brady and Manning. Neither one would scare me in a dark alley, and they couldn't outrun their own shadow. Anyway that's just my opinion, it just happens to be right.

RP, I'm sorry but no, your opinion is not correct. Far from it in fact. I appreciate the fact you are a sooner fan and you're obviously praising your boy Bradford, but come on. First of all, when was the last time ANY QB was drafted early based on throwing ability alone? By the way, did you really compare him to Manning and Brady? Here's a couple things they have that Bradford doesn't: Experience, poise, and toughness. Not to say that Bradford won't have these traits in the future, but if you really think he is being taken at ANY POINT in next year's draft, you need to take off the crimson colored goggles.

It's not my draft projection idiot, I said I didn't think he would even come out early, much less get drafted that high, I was simply letting chris know that his 3rd string DE dribble was stupid, and no I didn't compare him to Manning or Brady, and I am not an OU fan. I simply passed on what I saw on walterfootball. 2009 draft projection because it was topical. I have nothing to do with the web site, nor the projections genius. I was just as surpriseed to see him on the list at all. So all of your points were misplaced And I am right by the way, running QBs in the pros and foot speed for QBs are overated skills in the league.
Mike, try reading slowly, and I will stop attempting to use analogies.

RP, you have got to be kidding me! My example of a DE hitting Bradford is dead-on. He is slow, and to think that footspeed and reaction times are overrated in the NFL just shows how little you know about the league.

Do you watch NFL games? Just curious? Or does your T.V. only get OU football?

Comical.

Bradford is not an NFL quarterback, at least not yet. Partially retarded QBs could pass in the pocket the OU offensive line created last season. I do think OU has one or two hogs that will warrant first round attention next year. But Bradford? That is delusional.

Not sure the comments about his athletic ability are accurate, I happen to think he is a SUPER athlete. But he didn't show me last year that he could win a game or carry his team when it needed him. I think he has poor pocket awareness, or perhaps he was just shocked when a defensive lineman actually beat of the OU hogs up front.

I also have concerns about his ability to make throws under duress and also on the run. That goes a little to athletic ability, but Sam is a better athlete than Paul Smith....But Paul Smith was money on every throw (standing, running, walking, whatever).

Having seen Sam play a full year, I don't see him drafted any higher than the 3rd round, and that could change as the talent around him either increases or decreases. I think he is a fine college quarterback, I think he will be consistently good at Oklahoma. It's hard not to at least be decent with that supporting cast. Unfortunately the NFL requires a little more than that.

Oops, I meant foot speed, not foot spead.

As Bill Self would say, "Guys, Guys!" I'm not an OU fan and am a TU fan, but no way OU would have been more successful with Smith. OU has a different scheme so how could you tell. I can say that Bradford would not have fared so well under TU's scheme, but I'm not sure what this argument has to do with anything. I personally would rather have Smith NOW on my NFL team because of his CAREER performance. Bradford's just taking off. He stands fearless in the pocket and throws frozen ropes with accuracy over great distances. These kinds of guys win Super Bowls (see Kurt Warner).
