How is it contradictory to say that the guy doesn't know what he's talking about when he says he can't believe someone would say Bradford is better than Freeman. Bradford has only played one season - his rookie season - and his rookie season was better than Freeman's rookie season. So of course it's easy to see why they would pick Bradford over Freeman. It's easy to see why they'd pick Bradford over Tebow as well given the head to head results from their rookie seasons. Bradford is an extreme exception as a huge success as a rookie. Matt Ryan is the only other guy to have near that success recently as a rookie. Freeman's success as a rookie was minimal.
Just because I can easily see why they would pick Bradford over Freeman right now doesn't mean they won't be picking Tebow over both of them in a couple of years.
I don't understand how comparing their rookie seasons settles anything? Unless you take the players stats and accolades as a whole, then you're just picking and choosing to make a biased argument. Anyone can say, "Hey, well Freeman's rookie year was no where near Trent Edwards rookie year" or well "Freeman had a horrible first year and Peyton Manning had a great third year, so he's better." It's all or nothing and even with Freeman's bad first year, I believe he still trumps Bradford's successful rookie year with his accumulation of achievements in the NFL. It does work both ways though, Bradford only has one year in the NFL and it's all we have to base it on, so in my mind, he's up there with all the good young QB's. It's all just a matter of preference.
The guy said this: How anyone could choose Bradford over Freeman blows my mind.
It's pretty easy to see why some people would choose Bradford over Freeman. (for the reasons we've already discussed)
