Paging China Bradford?

February 11th, 2015
Could the Bucs pass on a quarterback (dear, God! in the draft and turn to brittle Rams QB Sam Bradford?

Could the Bucs pass on a quarterback (dear, God!) in the draft and turn to brittle Rams QB Sam Bradford?

The suggestion yesterday from the creator, curator and overall guru of Pro Football Talk, the great Mike Florio, that the Bucs braintrust is split over trading down or drafting Jameis Winston nearly sent Joe into a bottle-nursing, fetal-curling, deep, dark depression.

Just thinking the Bucs would pass on two potential franchise quarterbacks again this spring made Joe nearly nauseous.

Combined with passing on four potential signal-callers last year, when that is clearly the biggest hole on the roster, well, that would be simply irresponsible.

In the (frightening) possibility that could happen — and remember, we are talking Lovie Smith here — Pat Yasinskas of ESPN.com believes the Bucs may have a backup plan. And that would include Rams quarterback China Bradford.

But, if the Bucs go the defensive end route, they wouldn’t be addressing quarterback. I don’t think going through another season with Josh McCown and Mike Glennon is something the Bucs want to do.

There is another decent option out there. In fact, it might be a better option than Mariota or Winston. St. Louis’ Sam Bradford is scheduled to become a free agent.

The Bucs could sign Bradford and then draft a pass-rusher. Bradford is a known commodity. When healthy, he’s done some good things. He already has plenty of experience and wouldn’t face a big learning curve like the rookies.

Shoot, this would be riskier than picking Marcus Mariota. The past two seasons, China has blown out his left knee each year. The guy has impressive skills, but he is as brittle as a bag of Fritos, like he was in college.

To be fair, Bradford, the No. 1 overall pick in 2010, hasn’t been the same since his offensive coordinator his rookie year, Pat Shurmur, left for the Browns. As a rookie, Bradford appeared to be headed toward being one of the elite quarterbacks in the NFL.

And Bradford really hasn’t had any top-flight receivers to throw too since the Rams drafted him, one of the greatest crimes committed on a franchise quarterback Joe can remember.

You invest that kind of bread in a quarterback and you leave him twisting in the wind with rotten receivers? No wonder the Rams have stunk worse than Mississippi River backwater for so long. Bradford has never had help, no one near as talented as what the Bucs have at receiver.

Swinging a deal for Bradford wouldn’t be too terrible, but what kind of a shelf life could the Bucs expect from Bradford? Remember, the Bucs unloaded cornerback Darrelle Revis, in part, because they were scared of his knee. Now the Bucs may want to get a quarterback with a worse knee and a habit of getting hurt?

Of course, not drafting a quarterback would screw up the Bucs for the next few years. Lovie, Joe guesses, isn’t worried about that (but Team Glazer should be). If Lovie doesn’t turn things around in 2015, he’s going to be looking over his shoulder for “The Turk” himself.

One could argue the Rams are just a seasoned quarterback away from a playoff run. The Bucs are not.

The Rams, in the recent past, have expressed interest in keeping Bradford, who is due an obscene $12.985 million in base salary in 2015, per NFL.com. Joe can’t fathom the Rams keeping Bradford at that price.

That doesn’t mean Bradford will hit the open market, either.

    You make it sound like getting one of these two guys is guaranteed to fix our problems.

    I posted a list yesterday of the last 10 years of first round QBs.

    30 dudes drafted in the first round, 10 are what you would call “Franchise” QBs.

    Even in the first round, even with the first pick especially with this years crop of QBs, drafting one is a crap shoot.

    —————

    And you could have also listed the last 10 years of picks at every position and then you would have seen that the entire draft is a crap shoot. A high success rate for first round picks is right about 50%…you’ve stated that 33% of the QBs make it…so there’s a 33% chance the Bucs join the 21st century with a relevant QB….? I’ll take that chance.

    @terry

    No use In trying to use facts or reason on these idiots.

    The biased opinions are unreal.

    It doesn’t matter what the facts are in their biased minds winston will take the bucs to the Super Bowl every single year.

    And remember he is “NFL” ready lmao.

  5. pancake block Says:

    if they indeed go that route, trading down and using those pics for aquiring a brick wall for in front of him will be a must

  6. Nybucsfan Says:

    I want them to draft Mariota. If they didn’t this would be way better than drafting the rapist

  7. BirdDoggers Says:

    Lovie doesn’t have much job security after last season. I can’t imagine him being comfortable with the idea of relying on a rookie QB to turn this team around quickly. If Lovie is the one with final say, he’ll probably pass on a QB.

  8. DallasBuc Says:

    TheKevin is back once again with his obligatory “you idiots” take for people he disagrees with. Thanks for always being there to provide levity to an otherwise sad and over-played Winston/Mariota debate. Keep blasting away with your incisively original commentary and elite intellect you wizard!

  9. sauerpickle Says:

    I do not trust Lovie. I’m almost certain he finds a way to mess it up. Hopefully the Glazers put in their two sense. Just don’t get the idea when Lovie said he can win I games alone with defense. I was always taught you have to score to win, defense keeps you in games. You shouldn’t rely on turnovers to get you points and all. That’s great and all, but that’s no plan for scoring. It’s kinda inevitable.

  10. MTM Says:

    Picking up one teams chandelier quarterback to replace a turnover machine is pointless. I dont see it happening. Two of sh@t is still sh*t. This team needs stability at the QB.

  11. Eric Says:

    According to Rick Stroud if there is a split in opinion about who the Bucs should take it is news to Lovie Smith and Litch.

    I’ll take his insight and connections at OBP over Florio.

    No to Bradford. As nice as it sounds to be able to get a QB and use the number one pick for a DE, way too injury prone.

    I’d rather get Hardy then take the QB at One.

  12. Eric Says:

    Licht…….

  13. JoeJoes Fungi Nails Says:

    If the Bucs pass on either Jameis or Marcus….they most certainly should trade down the leverage the #1 overall slot….there is NO concenus #1 overall pick this year…just BPA intersecting needs

  14. P'cola Buc Says:

    Yet another option….Boy is it ever going to be a long 88 days!

  15. Buc'n Enough Says:

    Have the “Rock Star” check out Bradford’s knee…

  16. P'cola Buc Says:

    …..or is it 78 days….still too long! Lol

  17. Jonathan Says:

    If they dare pick up Sam Bradford i would jump ship. They have two quarterbacks with promising skill sets. And they choose him. Yea no thank you.

  18. Dick2111 Says:

    Given the Bucs OL history, I’d expect Bradford to survive for the first half of the first game. Wait, overly optimistic. Make that the first quarter of the first game.

    The Bucs need a QB who’s mobile and who can keep plays alive with his legs. Some OL’s in the NFL do an excellent job of protecting pocket passers (Pats, Broncos, etc). The Bucs? Not so much.

    Since Harry Houdini isn’t available, then I’d vote for the next best option: Marcus Mariota.

  19. meh Says:

    Yes, first round QBs bust. Frequently. This happens to ever other position too. It isn’t an argument to not take a QB.

  20. Tom Edrington Says:

    Just so the Joe(s) and everyone else can sleep better at night, there is no truth to the rumor that “The Kevin” is Lovie’s personal advisor……

  21. BucFanForever Says:

    Isn’t there an article in MCofJ that says the Rams are keeping Bradford?

  22. BucinSC Says:

    So we sign Bradford and trade down..God I Hope Not he’s way over paid and brittle…

    BTW who’s bright idea is it to give Ryan Tannehill 15 mill per year?

  23. Bird Says:

    These articles saying teams want Bradford over mariota or Winston is all smoke and mirrors. The nfl as seen what Bradford has to offer which is nothing. Put 2 acl tears on top of that and it’s a joke to think you would want him over 2 promosing young/ uninjured talents that have never taken a snap in nfl

  24. bucrightoff Says:

    Lovie does prefer his players to be vets, and he does have to win now so this wouldn’t be totally shocking. Even with his fragility Bradford is obviously more ready than Winston or Mariota to make an impact next year. Besides Lovie wants 17-13 wins and he probably thinks Bradford can get 17 points and not make McCown like mistakes.

  25. Robert 9 Says:

    roll with glennon, get hoyer or matt moore for back ups, trade back and build the trenches.

  26. biff barker Says:

    One thing that came up on the JBF hour that everyone can agree on is that Lovie still believes you can win playing Dungyball.

    No matter how good your defense is an offense still needs to put up at least 25 points to make a serious playoff run.

    Great teams can do both.

  27. marquistador Says:

    I bet the rams would be willing to do a Glennon/Bradford swap straight up. I really would not put that past them. I would assign pretty equal worth to both players… but what do I know.

  28. tmaxcon Says:

    bucs need to stop looking at other teams GARBAGE. Lovie is foolish enough to think this way. Hopefully the next coach will be more creative and not be a stubborn dinosaur with a mediocre record.

  29. Eric Says:

    Lovie will oversee a very good draft, as he did last year.

    He will not ignore the offense, just like he did not last year. Or this year when he signed a top notch OC – which many doomsdayers on here said would not happen.

    Takes a little time to straighten things out when you take over a disaster.

  30. Tampabaybucfan Says:

    Rather have Glennon than Bradford….cheaper, younger…..doesn’t blow out knees when hit….and our QB will be hit.

    Also…..Don’t understand FA?….Bradford is under contract……they may cut him, I guess.

  31. Jordan Says:

    58.6 Completion % with 59 TDs to 38 INT and is 12-26-1 in his last 3 seasons. Mike Glennon is much better than Sam Bradford. Sam Bradford gets elevated higher than Glennon solely because he was the 1st overall pick.

  32. Biff Barker Says:

    Eric Says:

    Lovie will oversee a very good draft, as he did last year.

    He will not ignore the offense, just like he did not last year.
    ————————————-
    I really wish Lovie DID ignore the offense last year.

  33. tmaxcon Says:

    Jordan the key stat you ignored is the only one that matters Wins. Hoe many wins does glennon have again. Oh yeah it’s someone else’s fault he couldn’t keep his job

  34. tickrdr Says:

    Posted last year by me during the offseason. Not updated for 2014, but Bortles certainly did not have a stellar year.

    “There have been 28 total QB’s taken within the top 7 picks of the draft over the last 20 years. For them, they represent 236 total seasons. There were only 76 total seasons (76/236 = 32%) where they had a QB rating > 83.9. There were only 81 total seasons (81/236 = 34.3%) where they threw for at least 19 TD’s. And there were only 38 total seasons (38/236 = 16.1%) where their TD/INT ratio was better than MG8’s rookie season. Again that is any season in their careers, not just their rookie seasons.”

    MG8 threw for 19 TDs and only 9 INTs in 13 games as a rookie.
    MG8 has thrown for 29TDs and 15 INTs in his first 18.5 games in the NFL.

    I know that these were ALL checkdown passes that the RBs took the distance into the endzone. I know that he ran out of bounds BEFORE getting a first down once. I know that he has won ONLY 5 games out of those 18.5 games.I also know that he played the TOUGHEST schedule in the NFL last year (by aggregate win total).
    BTW, Peyton Manning went 5 – 14 in his first 19 games.
    BTW2, Sam Bradford had 18 TDs and 15 INTs in his first 16 games as a rookie.

    tickrdr

  35. tickrdr Says:

    Also posted last year during offseason, before free agency.

    “4 of 5 of McCown’s games were against opponents giving up ~ 27 ppg or more. Was he that good, or were the opposing defenses that BAD? On the other hand, 7 of the 13 defenses that Glennon faced gave up less than 21 PPG on average, and five of those games were against the TOP FOUR scoring defenses in the league. Meanwhile, the Bucs defense allowed 25.5 PPG over that same time.”

  36. tickrdr Says:

    Another repost from earlier this year, please ignore.

    “Look at the Final Four this year in the NFL–they all have Franchise QBs.”
    —————————————————————————–
    In their first 19 games in the NFL:

    Luck: 26 TDs, 19 INTs

    Rodgers: 32 TDs, 13 INTs (But this was his 4th year, 1st as starter)

    Wilson: 32 TDs, 12 INTs ( or 30 TDs, 11 INTs: if you count the playoffs)

    Brady: 31 TDs, 18 INTs

    Everyone wants to predict how a college quarterback’s success, wins, comebacks, Heisman trophies, etc. will translate to success in the NFL.
    Why not just look at how they have performed in the NFL.

    A certain backup QB on a terrible team: 29 TDs, 15 INTs (18.5 games)
    Hint: His first name is Mike, and he wears #8.

    Please look up the performance of your favorite QB in the first 19 games of their career, and let us all know how they compare.

    Does anyone remember my offer of a bet re: the performance of last years’ surefire NFL stars? Surprisingly, not one person was even tempted to take me up on that friendly wager. Just look at all that easy money you missed, betting on a sure thing!

    Doc

    If they start glennon next year there will be a record number of stress tests in the Bay at area. Nice Promotional Move, doc. Seriously though, Glennon needed to play with fire and force Lovie to keep him the starter but he did not play well enough to force Lovie to play him. He also clearly digressed. Time to raise standards. Draft Winston

  38. bucsfan4lyf Says:

    “Shoot, this would be riskier than picking Marcus Mariota”

    LMAO Joe. Come on now. Your Man Crush on Winston is getting worse by the day. Rather than actually look at film of Mariota, you just think he’s a “project” because he played in a Spread system. Drew Brees and Derek Carr also played in spread systems, 1 if a HOF QB and the other was the best rookie QB with no help.

    I know what Mayock said about Mariota, it’s too early for him to say he’s the best QB in this class. Once the combine, pro days, and film has been observed by him and every scout, the 1st pick of the draft will be a no brainer…. #MariotaorBUST

    BTW, Bradford sucks, rather just keep Glennon instead.

  39. tickrdr Says:

    heads will EXPLODE if we don’t draft a QB.

    Only two years of college experience, and 18 INTs in his sophomore season against college competition???? ………….. and you say Glennon regressed??

  46. BuccaneerBonzai Says:

    I see no reason why we cannot get both. Bradford and his health would not be an issue if he were a backup. Bringing him in would make Glennon more expendable and we might get a trade offer.

    I don’t personally see it happening because I don’t believe Bradford plays the style the Bucs are after.

  47. BuccaneerBonzai Says:

    “Remember, the Bucs unloaded cornerback Darrelle Revis, in part, because they were scared of his knee.” – Joe

    I don’t believe his “knee” had anything to do with it. The man was way over paid. We needed cap room and he was the easiest to cut.

    If we could have kept him for 6-7m a year, I’d bet he never would have been cut.

  48. Joe Says:

    I don’t believe his “knee” had anything to do with it.

    Joe was told by a high-level Bucs official otherwise last summer.

    that’s not going out on a limb joe. the knock on him was inconsistency coming out of college and his college career was inconsistent to match. He still gave this franchise more hope than any other quarterback we’ve had since the superbowl including glennon for that reason we will be taking a quarterback. It’s a risk when you draft any player first overall but when that player is a quarterback it’s worth the risk 10 out of 10 times if you don’t have one

  50. tickrdr Says:

    @TMAX

    I, too, am not blind to Glennon’s faults. As I’ve posted numerous times, I researched ALL of the QBs drafted in the first round of the NFL draft, prior to last year’s draft, and all of the talk about Johnny Manziel. I was pleasantly surprised that MG8’s stats compared very favorably as a ROOKIE, compared with the rookie seasons of those 51 QBs taken in the first round over the last 20 years (now 54 players over 21 years). Then I expanded my research to compare his ROOKIE performance against EVERY SEASON for these 1st rounders, not just their rookie seasons. The posts above are taken from that comparison. Once again, I was surprised to learn that Glennon’s rookie season stats were better than the majority of ANY of the seasons compiled by those 51 QBs drafted in the first round, NOT just their rookie seasons.

    Again, I ask, doesn’t that intrigue you at all? Is it even remotely possible that MG8 would improve with more experience, a better supporting cast, more reps in preseason, better coaching, a better defense holding the lead, and a better OC? No need to answer because I know the answer for most is NO. They would rather have that ticket in the lottery, rather than develop what may be a gem under their feet.

    I just can’t buy into glennon. You make a very convincing argument he deserves consideration. I just don’t see glennon being anything but average. Same with Lovie. I want to win not just be mediocre. I feel both Lovie and glennon ceiling is mediocre. I don’t want to be teased with 8-8 or 9-7 for 5 to 7 years then wake up and it’s 20 years since last meaningful playoff run. Don’t laugh we already are at 13 years.

  53. pick6 Says:

    the draft is inherently risky. the lowest statistical risk lies in first round prospects, whether at QB or any other position. if you are using failure rate as an argument against going QB 1st overall or in the first round, the extension of that logic would preclude you from picking a QB in any subsequent round. in fact it would preclude you from ever making a draft pick, since failure rates only increase as the draft goes on.

  54. Dr J Says:

    @Joe – weren’t you pining for Manziel, pretty hard, at one point?

  55. lion Says:

    You have to take into account that none of the 4 QBs that they passed on last year are anything remotely as close to the prospects of Mariota and Winston. I’m glad they did, because we would have had to settle. I think Mariota and Winston are far better than an QB in last years draft.

  56. tickrdr Says:

    @pick6:

    Agree that the draft is inherently risky, and that the odds of winning go down the lower in the draft you go. But, if you bought a lottery ticket, and to your amazement, the first number was correct, …… and the second number was correct, ………. I’m sure that ALL of you would just throw the ticket away, since the odds of getting all 6 right would still be astronomical, and probably not a winner. Let’s trade Glennon for a conditional 7th, and a roll of tape. Right?
    I’d rather take a chance on making a big Jaboo-Boo, where not even the first number is known on his ticket. Right?

  57. Skyline Crew Says:

  58. Pickgrin Says:

    Give it up tickrdr. Glennon is not the answer to the Bucs QB problem – and just about everyone who knows anything about football (including the Bucs HC) can see that with their own eyes.

    You can post all the stat comparisons you want. But those who follow the Bucs closely and watched every play of those 18.5 games he played in know that Glennon is not the answer. Can he improve? Sure. But his ceiling – at best – is that of a competent game manager/ lower tier NFL starter. And that would only be with an above average OLine and skill player weapons all around him.

    We have the 1st pick in the draft and our choice of 2 QBs who both grade out better than any QB who has come to the NFL in the last 3 years. Short of being offered a literal King’s ransom (minimum 6 high picks) to move down (which seems VERY unlikely) – Any move other than picking one of these QBs would be the biggest blunder this franchise has ever made. (well there was the Bo Jackson thing…)

    You got me there. I have freely admitted that I don’t watch ANY college football, and I’ve only seen Winston play a few quarters. So many players with fabulous college careers, simply don’t do well in the NFL. Maybe you can explain the reasons why. My biggest concern is the guy choosing the pick also somehow decided that McCown was better than Glennon! Despite all of the “Pineapple McCown” talk of last spring, I do not see a single poster still think that McCown should play again, except as “cannon fodder” (sorry, bad choice of metaphors) till the new rookie is ready.

    ———————————————————————
    Well there you go. LOL.

    Like I said – do some real study of Winston tape and you will see that he has it all. Its right there for anyone to see that is willing to spend the time looking. There’s a reason so many NFL “experts” say Winston’s on field grades are superior to any QB who has come out since Andrew Luck.

    Those who have watched many FSU games over the last 2 years are such staunch fans of Winston’s abilities – not because of FSU homerism – but because we have seen over and over again what this kid is really capable of. My allegiance is to the Bucs – I have been a die hard Bucs fan since moving to the Tampa Bay area 30 years ago and always will be.

    Winston’s talents as a QB are special and rarely seen. His ability to read defenses pre and post snap – to audible at the line and change out of a bad match-up play call – to move around effectively under duress and/or stand strong in the pocket with pressure right in his face and deliver strikes downfield into tight windows – you just don’t see that very often. His coaches at each level going back to pop warner days 10 years ago have all said he has the best football mind they have ever seen. By all accounts Winston is a very hard worker and serious student of the game.

    Couple all that with a large, durable frame – excellent functional mobility – a literal rocket for an arm – positive yet fiery leadership qualities – and perhaps most importantly, a proven penchant for and burning desire to WIN. Not just play well – but WIN! 27-1 as a starter in College. Six 4th quarter come from behind victories in 2 years including clutch play in the waning moments of the biggest game of his life to win the National Championship – as a Freshman no less. 7-0 in games decided by 7 points or less.

    What more could you possibly ask for in a prospect???

    And the best way to address the so called “character concerns” which are grossly overblown – is to simply state that not ONE of Winston’s actions over the last 3 years would have caused him to miss an NFL game.

    So yea Dr. – do some real research on your own regarding both Winston and Mariotta (who is a great prospect as well) and then get back to us…

    Here’s a starting point.
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t1hpBfQnmQ4
    Yes it’s just a bunch of highlights and doesn’t show any plays with bad results – but its a good starting point to see in 14 minutes what Jameis Winston is capable of.

  63. Buctebow Says:

    or….we could trade down, draft up a million road grader linemen, pick up Tebow and run the ball every play. Yeah, there are a lot of stupid things that the Bucs could choose to do, I just hope they pick one that has a reasonable chance of success.
