    – According to Sando, 20 of the 26 evaluators ranked Bradford in Tier 3. 3 put him in Tier 4, and one in Tier 5. Though not specifically noted, I’ll assume that 2 evaluators rated Sam in Tier 2 or higher.

    – Sounds like the Tier 5 ranking may have come from another QB. According to Sando, the QB ripped into Bradford pretty good. But Sando also mentioned that this QB mentioned Sam’s rookie contract, so I’m wondering if there’s any “haterism” coloring his judgement.

    – The head coach who prefers Sam to Russell Wilson says that Wilson’s height (or lack thereof) results in him missing plays from the pocket. Sure, he gets out of the pocket to make plays, but he thinks defenses will adjust to keep him inside to force him to make those throws there. Sam? The coach feels he’s at home in the pocket and will make those throws that Wilson can’t.

    – Sando says that, despite the mobile QB’s out there, the personnel people he talked to place a lot of weight on QB’s who can make plays from the pocket.

    Interesting listen if you get the chance.

    He says the evaluators seem to be hedging their bets, they want to see him do it and so far he hasn’t. He just has the stay on the field.

    That’s where I’m at. I see a lot of promise, but need to see him do it on a consistent basis on a good team. This year could be a breakout season if things fall right.
