6:40 am
big word is if. if he stays healthy. but they feel they're working him out. they throw out the words sports science. the medical staff feels confident. if they have a healthy sam bradford they've got great quarterback. did you know once upon a time ukee, not to go back in history, too far but there was a quarterback who was drafted, in the first round by a team in the nfc east, matter of fact, and their fans booed. and they booed, and he got hurt three straight years, and he was considered a medical miss fit. and that quarterback was phil simms. went onto win superbowl for the giants. so maybe this time it will be a case like that, but sam bradford will be healthy. if he is healthy i watched the tape of sam bradford in 2013 the seven games that he played, before he was injured with the rams, he was out standing. he was out standing. he's got a great arm. he's bright. he's a character guy. he is a talented, talented quarterback. don't throw away sam bradford
