The “Meh”: Sam Bradford
By “Meh,” I mean “Eh,” “I dunno” and “Whatever.”
Or, to put it in other terms, the least-inspiring, yet understandable, option on the market.
Sam Bradford will be a free agent this offseason, and somebody will snag him up, but what does he actually do?
Making just under $13 million with the Eagles last season, Bradford was mediocrity personified. He went 7-7, completing 65 percent of his passes for 3,725 yards, 19 touchdowns and 14 interceptions. He got better as the season wore on, but he never truly inspired confidence in anybody.
Still, those numbers — sorry, Peyton — look a whole lot better than the quarterback that led Denver to the Super Bowl. Maybe that’s all you need to win with this Broncos defense in the picture?
Bradford is a professional quarterback, with all the natural talent in the world; that’s about the best thing going for him.
If he ended up in Denver next season, I think most Broncos fans would be able to talk themselves into the former Heisman winner by the start of training camp, but I doubt anybody would be praising him as any kind of difference maker.
Simply put, he’s a caretaker.
