Quote:Has anyone heard Bradley say anything about competition this year? He preached it last year and I don't recall it at all this year.


The commentators during the Seahawks/Niners game were talking about Pete Carrol and how big he is on competition. They were talking about how intense practices are and that he doesn't care if they are a draft pick, FA, or whatever but that it's always wide open competition and that the best players will play.


I haven't seen that from Bradley much this year.

They have cut several players this year already and many rookies are starting, even Hurns contributing heavily as an UDFA. You could argue it's because there is an overall lack of talent, but I could also argue that much of it is due to competition. Take McCray for example, he competed his way into a starting role and has kept it. Injury may have given him the opportunity, but Gus didn't take him out when Gratz came back just because he was the starter and McCray was a late round pick.


I honestly couldn't tell if you were being sarcastic considering Gus mentions competition nearly every time he speaks.
