Thanks. I know, QB has been a touchy subject in Cleveland since 1999..so I feel your pain. Without Gordon they would suck but don't let that skew the reality that with or without Gordon that the QB is still mediocre. QBs have to work with what they have and especially a guy that is selected number 1 in the draft and being paid 17 million should be able to carry a team and raise the play of the talent around him. I have heard all the excuses in Cleveland with QBs, it's the line, it's the receivers, he has to learn a new offense, he has no running game, etc. Then a guy like Anderson comes in and the line gives up 5 sacks the rest of the year or a guy like Hoyer comes in and gets the ball out on time and hits players in stride, throws beyond the marker for a first down, etc. If you want my honest opinion about Bradford, he reminds me of Jason Campbell. Has a great arm and all the skill in the world but he will always be an average QB. He is afraid to throw downfield but I bet in St. Louis you guys say that the receivers can't get open or that he doesn't have the right weapons on the outside or no time to throw. Instead he dinks and dunks down the field. Bradford isn't a bad QB but does anyone think he is or can be an elite QB after 4 years of watching him? Can you put your faith in him to not derail a season by staying healthy?
I never would have drafted a 30 year old QB in the first round and I certainly wouldn't have made an outlandish offer for Griffin. I would have given up that bounty for Luck for sure though. There are some good QBs this year throughout the draft and not much separates them from the top 3 that everyone talks about.
