Jan 15th is the deadline. Still a bunch of kids undecided including but not limited to: Tebow, Bradford, Harvin, Crabtree, Spiller, Kindle and many many more

Bradford is not ready, and should go back for another year IMO.

barrett 01-09-2009 05:26 PM

Another year may help Bradford skillwise and physically, but he loses 4/5 of maybe the best OL in the country. It is going to be hard to duplicate this year's success under those circumstances. He may be at his peak value wise right now.

HPF Bob 01-09-2009 05:49 PM

Bradford (and Tebow for that matter) are in the same boat that Vince Young was after the 2005 season. They could really benefit skills-wise from another year at college but they've pretty much accomplished everything they can at this level so their pro prospects can only go down from here. Probably should cash in while the getting is good. Remember Matt Leinart. He's a consensus Top 3 pick after 2004 but lasted until the 10th pick after staying in school an extra year.

barrett 01-09-2009 06:17 PM

thank you bob. Exactly what I meant to say but far better said.

NBT 01-11-2009 04:15 PM

It is a two-edged sword. If they get enough money, then they can get the football education they need by being a sub for a year, but unfortunately it doesn't work that way often enough to work. Usually they are forced into the Pro limelight immediately. Too bad.

Nconroe 01-11-2009 06:42 PM

Sounds like Tebo is gonna stay in school since he likely would not have been first round selection, according to some anyways, atleast as a QB. needs to work on his passing motion and accuracy.

He is a fullback that can pass right now.

I dissagree, the kid throws better than most give him credit for IMO. I think every running QB that comes out now is unjustly sterio-typed this way. The reason is that most of these type QB's have not turned out to be very produtive in the NFL. But we shouldnt forget abbout plyers like John Elway, Donnavan McNabb, Randell Cunningham and Steve Young.

I tell you what imagine him in the Wildcat offense. You know I wouldnt be surprised if we start to see teams drafting these type of QB's and using them to run the Wildcat offense in certain situations. I would love for us to draft Pat White and install the Wildcat offense. That could be the answer to our short yardage woes.

Sideline 01-12-2009 06:36 AM

Tebow staying at school is a good idea for him at the moment, as a Quarterback his pro stock has gone down this year however I think Bradford would do right to declare and come out this year, he is a very mechanically polished passer and although could do with another year in school,as previously states he probably won't be able to top this past season. Also on his side this year is the weak Quarterback class, im sure he is a better prospect than those rated at the top at the moment (Bomar and Harrell).

It's not just his ability to throw that causes concern, it's the offense he is coming out of. It is the opposite of pro-style and the last big QB to come out of it was a total flop even though he was a far more accomplished passer with superior mechanics to Tebo.

Taylor Mays is returning to USC.

On a defense that is so depleted that is a pretty stupid career move. I don't think he will regret it as much as some because of his freakish physical gifts, but I think he will regret it.

Not to start a debate on the subject, but this always baffles me. If I'm an NFL GM, this makes me instantly question Mays' love of football and committment to the game.

...and I'm guessing he's not an actuarial science major.

WHY? Because he wants to go back to school and play fun football for one more year?????:confused:

Well that saddens me. I suppose I'll start my very own Paul Kruger bandwagon.
