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…
