I have no doubt that Bradford has the physical tools in the terms of mechanics and throwing skills to be a good quarterback in the league. However, not many people have mentioned something he may be missing....
I have no idea, I am just speculating, but what if Fisher was drawn to this team by what he saw on tape of Bradford. But now that he is here, he is somewhat questioning Bradfords desire, leadership skills and durability. After meeting a few times with Manziel, Fisher and Snead see a burning desire to win, fierce drive to compete, an apparent love for the game and the ability to make his teammates that much better?
You really have to wonder that Fisher may be questioning what Sam brings to the table in that department once KC was brought in and this team started to compete. Ill be it the offense was really changed and the whole scheme was different, but in that process they realized that instead of bringing in all these draft picks to make the talent "around Sam better", they decided a quicker path to being competitive in this division was to change their thought process?
Fisher and Snead need to have a good year. It is year 3 and their original long-term plan is coming near.
I really think they have a goal of continuing to bulk up the D, have a solid, but not great O, and build a team of bad ass dudes that love to compete and win. That is pretty much Fisher's MO. Does paying Sam a ton of money fit into this equation for the long-term?
I really question what Sam's future holds with this team. Financially it will be a crazy time when he is due for another contract. Any qb drafted will be making as much over the next 4 years as Sam will make in the next 2. This does not include any kind of extension. All of that money could be used to fill many holes.
Just throwing this out there as I personally knowr nothing about Sam's characteristics outside of his physical skills, I could be completely wrong and he may have more desire, leadership ability, and love for the game than anyone in the league, but you really have to wonder???
