What player in the NFL, past or present, would you have wanted to see succeed so badly but due to injuries, off the field issues, or whatever happened just derailed their career? For me it was unfortunate to see players like Josh Gordon or Justin Blackmon have their careers end or never getting back on track because of off-field issues.

Sam Bradford's body failed him. Dude was immensely talented and a pretty smart QB. No reason he couldn't have done much more with a real supporting cast as a youngin and better injury luck throughout

Ehhhh he was hopelessly mid

Anyone who uses the word mid isn't old enough to have seen Bradford play.

I was trying to relate to the kids man.

But Bradford sucked. There’s no if ands or buts about it.

But he didn't. There's a but right there. If he had a better coach and offensive line he could have been an all pro. There's your If. And you smell like a fat kids closet. There's your and for the trifecta.
