seth-edward-oneal.jpgFollowing Sam Bradford’s performance on his pro day, many believe that he is next in line if Tom Brady and Peyton Manning retires, to carry the league.

You see, some things are for already for sure with Sam Bradord, and those are his ability to read the field, his quick release, and his ability to throw with accuracy. Some commented that not one ball was uncatchable during the aforementioned pro day, because the only incomplete pass was a drop by the receiver.

Of course, Bradford’s pro day does not account for whether he can do that with a 270 pound defensive end in his face in the coming 2010 NFL football season. Still, Bradford’s pro-day was so impressive that some commented that it was the best by a quarterback in 10 years.

Bradford processes information quickly. He scans the field and is able to work the progression of the play. By working the progression, we mean check out receivers in order to see if they are covered and getting the ball to the open guy. He has the vision to find the next receiver quickly.

He has made good decisions. He has thrown for 4464 yards, with 48 TDs with only 6 interceptions. That gives him a QB rating of 168.3. He is a playmaker and has 5 rushing TDs. He converts an above average number of 3 downs which is critical in the NFL.

He can run but is much more of a pocket passer than most other spread QBs. That will give him an advantage over a Tim Tebow or Chase Daniel. He moves around in the pocket to avoid the rush but still keeps his vision down field. Problem is, he is not nearly as accurate moving as he is when he can set his feet. If he goes to a team like the Lions, he had better work on that because behind the Detroit offensive line he will be running a lot.

He has above average but not great arm strength. Many of his…

Brett Favre returns to play for the Vikings this Sunday

I can’t say I’m surprised.

After putting us all through the ”will he or won’t he charade all over again, Brett Favre decided that he will postpone retirement and play for the Minnesota Vikings for the 2010 NFL football season after all.

And just to show how sure he was this time, he expressed a desire to play in Sunday’s preseason game at San Francisco a day after rejoining the Minnesota Vikings. On Friday, coach Brad Childress said that wish will be granted.

You read it, Brett Favre will play a series or possibly two during the nationally televised prime-time game on NBC. Childress said ideally the first series would go 10 plays for Favre because, “that’s what he needs right now and all he’s ready for right now.”

“I think he’s doing a good job of rounding into” form, Childress said. “He has been throwing the football, there is no question about that. Just conditioning his legs. … He’s versed in our system and our calls.”

Tarvaris Jackson will take over for Favre and play past halftime and then be replaced by Sage Rosenfels. Childress said he does not know whether rookie Joe Webb will get in the game. The rest of the first-team offense will play the first quarter.

Middle linebacker E.J. Henderson, who suffered a fractured femur last December, will make his first appearance this preseason and play with most of the defensive starters in the first quarter.

The rotation at the cornerback spots will be a bit different…

Ben Roethlisberger is sorry for raping some girl

Really? He is?

Yes, Ben Roethlisberger is once again making the headlines prior to the start of the football season. This time, it doesn’t involve motorcycle accidents, Super Bowl hangovers or any other shit Big Ben usually finds himself into. This time, coming to the 2010 NFL football season, Roethlisberger is trying to rebuild his image after sexually assaulting a 20 - year - old college student.

Wow. First it was Tiger Woods and now Ben Roethlisberger? Jeez… These guys who have these once squeaky clean reputations are really getting hammered these days huh? Who’s next? Jerry Sloan?

Roethlisberger, who luckily won’t be facing criminal charges after the 20 - year - old student gave up on the case since her accusations could not be proven beyond reasonable doubt, apologized to the Pittsburgh Steelers, the NFL, and more importantly, to football fans for the entire fiasco.

Oh yes, Roethlisberger will walk, just like Kobe Bryant did a few years ago after the alleged rape incident in Colorado. Huge stars like them usually get a free get - out - of - jail card.

With McNabb out of the Eagles, should Kolb really start?

At least that’s what Eagles coach Andy Reid feels.

Yes, Kevin Kolb will be starting for the Philadelphia Eagles once the 2010 NFL football season gets here. That’s right, Kolb will finally get the opportunity to show Eagles fans why their team drafted him three years ago.

And as far as Kevin Kolb is concerned, he’s ready for the challenge ahead. Andy Reid has already talked about how much confidence he has in Kolb and the command his young quarterback has over the Philadelphia Eagles offense. Kolb feels it’s his time to show the rest of the world that he is a star in the NFL.

”Everything I’ve done in my life has led to this,” Kevin Kolb said. ”I’m ready to roll and lead this team.”

”I didn’t even blink when Andy told me. I really didn’t,” Kolb said, referring to him being promoted to the starting role. ”I’m excited about it. I’m sure it will have a little drama, but it will be a fun ride. I truly have that outlook on it. I think this team will surprise some people.”

”I trusted the organization, I trusted Andy to get me here one day,” Kolb added. ”The times last year when I started that I felt I was ready, but the team wasn’t ready, maybe the city wasn’t ready. I knew Andy would put me in the situation to be the starter.”

Of course, you can’t blame some people who feel Kolb shouldn’t be…
