But SB has missed 15 games to injury in 2 of the last 3 years and 11 game in 3 years at Oklahoma, so despite his size, he's been somewhat injury-prone.
Right now, Kaep is on the verge of taking his team to the SB for the 2nd year in a row. He does just enough with his arm to move the chains, but will kill the opposition with his running ability.
If Kaep ever learns to read defenses and go thru his progressions, he will be a handful.
Manning and Brady can read Defenses, go thru their progressions quickly and get the ball out quickly. They are also mobile enough to roll out and have enough pocket presence to sense pressure, step up or slide out to the side to avoid getting hit and making a play.
There's another thread going about Manning's OL and how good would Bradford look behind that line. I don't think he would look much different as the Denver OL doesn't have anyone special on it. Maybe one past Pro-Bowler. Manning makes the OL look good, not the other way around.
As I always say, a good QB elevates those around him, not the other way around.
I just think it's time for a change at QB, but Fisher and Snead don't and they have the final say, so we'll have to wait another season at least and see.
I just think we have a great opportunity with the #2 pick to upgrade and to free up some much needed cap space.
The pick doesn't necessarily have to be Manziel either.
I'd love nothing more than to see Bradford come out next season and light it up, but I think that's wishful thinking.
