God damnit Zeke. You're supposed to hold the football, much like your ancestors the squirrels and their acorns

As an outside observer of the Vikings it seems to me that many of Badfords passes do not gain very many yards, if any at all.

This is not how you traditionally win football games.

the ballad of sam bradford

If he didnt get mega paid the first time around I'd feel legit bad for this guy. I remember when he came out of Oklahoma that I wanted the Redskins to go after him. Probably wouldn't have ended much better for him but..good god man.

He was the no. 1 overall draft pick of 2010.

I know that. Wasn't he the last of the #1/#1 to get the huge contract or was it Jamarcus?

Jamarcus Russell got his contract with Oakland in 2007 so yeah I think maybe after Bradford they started realizing it's a bad idea. Or didn't the Rams also give Jared Goff an obscene amount of money?

I don't think the rookie contracts are team killers anymore. From what I understood they are mostly predetermined based on draft slot.

Not that it will stop at least some owners from screwing their own team over on principle to not give up a theoretical penny to their first round draft pick. Say, like, a guy you drafted #3 overall and might be the best defensive rookie in the league.

True that. It just seems like that there used to be this wait and see game with the first rounders, who would sign and get the baseline started and even like the back end of the top 10 were getting stupid contracts.

The good ol days.
