An NFL Personnel Executive is Still Confused about Sam Bradford

Over the past few months, it seems like the general vibe on Sam Bradford has gone from confusion and anger to confusion and anger with bouts of cautious optimism. But you and I, we’re just plebeians. We’re not privy to the inside scoopery NFL execs might be. So, over at NJ.com, they’re having “one of the league’s top executives in personnel” anonymously breaking the Eagles down for them position by position. First it was the quarterback position. So what does the INSIDER say about Sam Bradford?
“I understand they gave up on Foles, but I don’t know why they’re building up Bradford so much. I’m still confused about that whole deal. You can only talk about him being the first pick of the draft (in 2010) for so long. What has he done since then?
If Bradford had gone anywhere else you wouldn’t even be talking about him. He’s been hurt the past two years and even when he was healthy, he was just average. But he’s with Chip Kelly, so there’s hope I guess. Chip Kelly is the one guy who can make Bradford a success.”
If there’s anything that’s gonna put your fire of excitement out, it’s this guy. And no, I’m not sure if I mean the anonymous executive or Bradford. Maybe both.
When he's not writing about sports here or ranting about them on Twitter, Jim is probably watching X-Files on Netflix or drinking a beer somewhere. Jim has nothing against hockey, it's just not his style. He once met Duce Staley at a Sixers game.
