Sam Bradford to Arizona...

[LesBaker]

Sam may actually have a shorter career in Arizona than @LesBaker 's "Farts" thread.

That's a shame.

Not Sam's career, the fart thread. I really wanted to open up and let one go in there...

It's interesting how we can live with ours but can stand others.

One of the many mysteries of life I suppose.

 

[LesBaker]

Arizona committed $15 million to Sam Bradford’s knees Tuesday, giving the team the upside of a top-10 quarterback and the downside of a player who has spent more time with Dr. James Andrews than his own family over the last decade.

When was Bradford a top 10 QB?

That never happened.

If we learned anything from what we saw in MINN we know CK and SB are about the same animal.

 

[Soul Surfer]

I'd like to see the details of this $20 million contract.

And I don't know if it's just me and my respect for Selassie but I damn well think you should see the details too!

 

[fearsomefour]

It's a good move for them, granted they also draft a QB(or two) to start developing.
Their mindset should no longer be win now every year.

Hand off to Johnson 30 times a game....play action....page 1 of the Bradford is our QB play book.

They are completely different both in style and skill set.

This is definitely not the QB I was hoping the Cards would land, short term this could be our worst nightmare...go ahead now and laugh boys.

Meh. We can laugh and make jokes now. The fact is that if we can't beat AZ - we have far bigger troubles than Bradford.

If they can protect him I agree 100%

Big IF. He also gets injured without really being hit.

Yeah - They've clearly had enough SBs and playoff appearances to last them for a while.

Sheeyit.
We might as well fold up the tents right now.
The NFCW R Belong to AZ.

Right? We just got bested by not being in the Bradford desperation pool.

Wait, you can get damaged from chronic???

Never heard of Dain Bramaged?

 

[LesBaker]

They are completely different both in style and skill set.

But in production they are about equal.

 

[shovelpass]

Rumor has it that the contract was never signed. When Sam saw how much they were paying him he laughed so hard that he pulled an abdominal muscle and failed the physical before he signed.

I heard he got a look at the Rams' secondary and rejected the offer immediately.

An insurance policy by the Cardinals would also be wise. Snarky caption on pic by yours truly.

Cardinals putting together health plan for Sam Bradford

Sam Bradford didn’t work outside with his new teammates Tuesday, instead staying inside to meet with the Cardinals’ medical and training staff to formulate a plan to keep him healthy.

“We’ll identify what Sam needs to do, and put him on a program that’s based on him, the individual,” strength and conditioning coach Buddy Morris said, via Darren Urban of the team website. “We like to individualize a lot around here.”

Bradford started only two games last season because of his knee injury, which required arthroscopic surgery. He returned to backup Case Keenum in the postseason, though Bradford didn’t see the field.

“As a player, you can’t focus on it,” Bradford said. “I trust the process I’ve been through to this point; I know the strength staff here, the training staff here. We talked . . . about putting in the plan to make sure my knee is as healthy as it can be come Week 1.

“I am trusting the fact they know what they are doing. They’ve dealt with some guys who have had knees that have had issues like mine. With that work, we’ll be in a place where it will allow me to do can do what I need to do for 16 games.”

Morris said he talked with “everybody that’s ever trained” Bradford as well as the quarterback’s current physical therapist.

“I think we’ve got a great plan between myself, Tom Reed [the team’s head athletic trainer] and obviously Sam, just like we did for Carson [Palmer] a couple years ago,” Morris added. “I get tired of people telling me what I can’t do. I worry about what I can do.

So we’re going to focus on what we can do with Sam, and we’re going to put him in a position to achieve optimal levels and put him in the best possible position to help us win football games.

“Trust me, we’ve talked about him.”

16 games???

See, winners know that there are 19 games in a season...

Sam Bradfords new 2018 uniform and cult!

I think getting Bradford was about selling tix and ensuring that Fitzgerald could finish his career with 1st ballot hof stats. He should retire at #2 in receiving yards and #5 in receiving tds if bradford is a healthy start in 10 games. If they were heading into total rebuild mode fitz would have hung them up and the fans would stay home.
