I'm interested in seeing him ,looking up at Robert Quinn thumping his chest.
If ya want to see him do well find someone with Sunday ticket and watch him next week.........K?
I don't necessarily want to see him do poorly. I want him to lose. I just find it interesting that I watched him closely in college when the Rams were strongly in need of a QB, and now here he is playing against the Rams 4 years later for the first time. The jury is still out on him. And the question I have is can someone become a top tier QB after a slow questionable start? Locker is off the radar in comparison to other young QBs like Luck, RG3, Dalton, Wilson, Kaepernick, and even Tannehill, because he hasn't shown much in his first 2 years. In the back of my mind, I am just doing a relative comparison between Locker and Bradford. The point being that you have to be careful when you put your verdict in on a young QB.
I remember Tarkenton saying earlier this year that you can tell if a QB can play after 2 years or at least he can. He said Freeman and Ponder can't play. He did say Bradford can play, FWIW. I do think that certain types of QBs show up as players later than others. Some guys come in very polished like Luck, and some come in with gifted running ability, and they both show well early. Others have the talent to excel but just need more time to develop and have a decent supporting cast around them. Locker may be one of those.
The lesson here is for all those people who are down on Bradford, guys like Venturi, Michael Young, Jaworski, etc., maybe they are a bit shortsighted or possibly just looking for attention. I guess it's easier to bash a guy and gain acceptance from your audience than it is to defend a guy who hasn't set the world on fire.
I hear Young say, we know what Bradford is already, he's a JAG. And McCrite goes whoa, that's what I thought, they need to draft a new QB. What does Young have to lose by saying that? Nothing. He may not even believe it. I suspect there's a script already written for him to bash Bradford just to help ratings.
The point of all this is you gotta give some young QBs more time than others to show what they are. But most people want answers immediately and there is a media out there that will cater to them, usually bashing the young QB and saying time to move on from them and draft the next potential bust.
