I don't mind the pick.... just not in the 2nd round.  DG has done this before.  He did this with Shaq, honestly.   They may both be good, but we took people earlier than we could have got them.  This could be Kugbilla all over again.

I know that you sometimes see small school prospects go on to have great careers, but let's keep in mind that this was Samford's schedule this past season, and somehow Bradberry got only 2 interceptions:

DATE                         OPPONENT                          
Sept. 3                         Central Arkansas                    
Sept. 12                       Florida A&M                          
Sept. 19                       Chattanooga*                          
Sept. 26                       at Louisville                           
Oct. 10                        at VMI*                                  
Oct. 17                        The Citadel*                           
Oct. 24                        at Western Carolina*             
Oct. 31                        Furman*                                 
Nov. 7                         Clark-Atlanta                          
Nov. 14                       at Wofford*                            
Nov. 21                       at Mercer*

Did you ever consider that maybe he was shutting down opposing wr's and not getting many balls thrown his way?

disagree- bc Kugbila was bad- so while I agree we may have drafted him early than we needed to Kugbila is a bad comparison 

we have no idea how good Bradberry will be, and Shaq looks awesome in limited time

      If his seat was hot enough for him to be fired 6 games in then you should've just fired him when you made the decision to draft a QB #1 overall. I don't think you go from "this is definitely our guy" to "you're fired in 6 games". Seems like there would be had to have been doubts going in and that's not a recipe for success for a rookie QB.

      I like to use the analogy that a high draft pick QB is like a new supercar. Great to have one except too often, one forgets that they are high maintenance. A bad team secures their car under a cheap tent, puts regular gas in the tank, services it at Pep Boys, and then blames the car for not working properly and proceeds to get another one.  At the least, Ward getting sacked 25 times already is a massive red flag. If you can't protect your rookie QB, you do not put him out there. Otherwise, it's taking your supercar and immediately spinning it right into a tree. A few survive that rough of a start. Most do not.

      I don't think there's any one size fits all answer. I think you play the rookie when A) you think he's ready and B) you think there's a reasonable expectation that the overall situation provides him an opportunity to be successful, not necessarily in terms of wins and losses but just in terms of giving him a fighting chance with surrounding talent. If you rush either one it's probably not gonna be pretty.
