Like Joelist said, Minny is a better fit. That said, I think it's a little unfair to say Bradford "stunk it up". He threw for 3700 yards in 14 games, completed 65% and had a respectable 86.4 passer rating. It's more likely that Philly moved on because Bradford was brought in by Chip Kelly, and the new regime selected a young QB 2nd overall to be the long term future.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
