Tim Griffin, Big 12 blogger, ESPN.com: "We’ve likely seen the last of Sam Bradford in an Oklahoma uniform. It was fun while it lasted. He’ll go down as one of the best players in the history of the Big 12, a consummate producer on the field and a good citizen during his memorable career with the
Sooners. Bradford came back to school for what he thought were good reasons. It’s unfortunate his season unraveled because of injuries in such limited playing time.”

Kevin Weidl and Todd McShay, NFL Draft experts, ESPN.com: "Scouts and
NFL front offices came into the season with two big questions about Bradford: could he add needed bulk to his frame without it affecting his play on the field, and how would he handle pressure behind a retooled offensive line?
Not only has Bradford failed to answer those questions to this point, but scouts have even more concerns about his durability now that he’s been knocked out of two games with an injury to his throwing shoulder.”

Sam Bradford, Oklahoma quarterback: "It’s extremely frustrating the way this season has gone for me. To get hurt in the first game, to have to sit out three games and then to leave this one early and not be able to finish is really frustrating. It’s hard to put into words.”

Pat Forde, ESPN.com columnist: "Once again, Sooners quarterback Sam Bradford went down with a shoulder injury — this time just 12 snaps into the game. Once again, Oklahoma lost a heartbreaker. It has now lost three games by a total of five points and can only wonder what this season would have been like with the 2008
Heisman Trophy winner (and All-America tight end
Jermaine Gresham) healthy.
This much seems clear: No. 20 Oklahoma would have won Saturday with Bradford playing the full 60 minutes.”

An by the way its Bradfords choice and his alone. We as OU fans need to support him in whatever descion he makes and thinks is best for him. If he descides to come back we cheer and if he decides to go to the NFL we cheer and wish him success.
average offensive line, like all the other QB's, except for Texas, are. Like I have always said,
Sam can't make plays with his feet. The last QB OU had that could make plays with his
feet was Bomar. OU has no run game or line to make it happen. The DO had all these
articles about what the offensive line did during the winter, spring, fall, and they are still
not getting the job done. Nate Hybl got hurt and Jason White came in and led the Sooner's
to a victory, over Texas. Back then OU had a better staff. You make the call.
