		<description><![CDATA[Really, Matthew Stafford is better thn Sam Bradfotd!?  Are you kidding me!?  Stafford couldn&#039;t even finish a season until last year.  Lions fans were calling him a bust until last year and every time he took a hit all of Detroit cringed and held their breath.  I&#039;m willing to bet that Staffords season was a fluke along with Alex Smith&#039;s, they&#039;ll show their old colors again this year...if Stafford lasts long enough.]]></description>

I like Stafford a lot and prefer him over Bradford, but if you&#039;re going to compare, you need to at least acknowledge that Bradford doesn&#039;t have anyone to throw the ball to like Calvin Johnson.  Also, both players have had injury problems, with Bradford playing with an injury for a significant part of last season.  Stafford had injuries the two years prior to last season, so it&#039;s not entirely fair to compare Bradford&#039;s injury season to Stafford&#039;s one relatively injury-free year.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Bradford is overrated and often injured player. He has a knack of getting injured which is not good for any player especially in the Position he is playing. 

Sometimes I don&#039;t get it, when media keeps banging the drum that so-and-so (Bradford) is a good player and so forth. Its still not known until he can consistently prove so. Gabbert for instance is been banged as a bad player bad mechanics etc. I feel the media influences to a degree what kind of player he is. (e.g) Vince Young. First few years we had a feeling that VY is next Tom Brady and so forth. where is he now? The media makes up the story for their benefit.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[That would have left the Jets with Stafford or Bradford either of which would have immeasurably changed the Jets franchise.  The Jets might won 2 super bowls if they did not have Sanchez as QB.  Sanchez would likely be out of the league now if not drafted by the Jets.

Although the Browns asking price might have been a lot higher as other teams may have wanted to trade up as well.  Probably to high for the Jets.

The Jets are haunted by what ifs.  What if they took Marino over O&#039;Brien.  What if the Cards had not backed out of their draft day trade and the Jets had drafted Favre.  What if Parcells had guaranteed Archie he would take Peyton number 1 in 1997?  What if the Jets had selected Rice over Toon?  Now what if we had gotten Stafford.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Shenanigans!!!  the Lions were perennial Losers at that time coming off the first 0-16 season.  I&#039;m sure he was advised to stay in school.  next season, as soon as he got hurt, he shut it down. it was KARMA.  I&#039;m just happy how it worked out...Bradford isnt Half the quarterback that Stafford is and we got Suh as well...and bradford still ended up on a rebuilding team....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Listen, I understand how funny and cool and mature it is to call someone a bust as soon as he doesn&#039;t throw for 30 TDs as a second-year-player. I get that. It&#039;s awesome. Plus, it shows off your deep knowledge of football.

But here&#039;s something to consider. Eli Manning didn&#039;t have a passer rating over 77 (!) until his fifth year in the league. 

Heck, after 10 years in the league, John Elway had 183 TDs against 182 INTs.
