He's a great college player, but I think it's a bit of a &amp;quot;over-dose&amp;quot; to say that this is as high as he will ever go. He can come back next season and do the same. As for the NFL, he's still got a little more growing left in him, and I think he should probably take it before moving to the NFL. As a Sooner myself, I would hate to see him go against the likes of Troy Palamaulu and come away hurt. I expect to see him wearing Crimson and Cream next season, and the last time I checked, the NFL didn't have a team with those colors.</description></item><item><title>So long, Sam: Bradford should bolt to NFL</title><link>http://extrapoints.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/12/13/1714219.aspx#1714241</link><pubDate>Sun, 14 Dec 2008 07:45:41 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1714241</guid><dc:creator>Colin Casey, Norman OK</dc:creator><description>What do you mean Bradford didn't have a Heisman moment, tool? &amp;nbsp;Obviously you didn't watch the OU/OSU game were Bradford did his best impression of a helcopter crashing into the endzone.

I ask because it seems that all everyone talks about is how Tebow is such a great leader and what not, and so deserving because he made that plea, and Florida cruised through the rest of the year. Seeing as how the USC defense played pretty lights out the rest of the year, I think the comparison is pretty apt. </description></item><item><title>So long, Sam: Bradford should bolt to NFL</title><link>http://extrapoints.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/12/13/1714219.aspx#1714485</link><pubDate>Sun, 14 Dec 2008 23:35:04 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1714485</guid><dc:creator>CJ Canyon, TX</dc:creator><description>He is only a Sophmore.

Why would he stay another year at Chokelahoma? Just about his entire offensive line is leaving after this year, so next year his stats certainly won't be as good, and his stock will go down. Bradford's stats don't completely reflect his performance either. If mccoy and tebow were kept in the 4th quarter when there team is up by 40, their stats would be great to, their teams probably could have scored a lot more points as well.</description></item><item><title>So long, Sam: Bradford should bolt to NFL</title><link>http://extrapoints.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/12/13/1714219.aspx#1725333</link><pubDate>Fri, 26 Dec 2008 14:50:17 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1725333</guid><dc:creator>Tim Flenniken</dc:creator><description>OU loses its offensive line and 3 great receivers.&lt;br&gt;Bradford's stock can only drop next year if he returns. &amp;nbsp;This was the best Oklahoma team of all time but they will probably lose to Florida.</description></item><item><title>So long, Sam: Bradford should bolt to NFL</title><link>http://extrapoints.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/12/13/1714219.aspx#1727744</link><pubDate>Tue, 30 Dec 2008 19:08:20 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1727744</guid><dc:creator>farrell rhoads</dc:creator><description>I'm glad to say I'm Sooner born and Sooner bred.
