Sam Bradford

         Recently, the starting quarterback of the Oklahoma Sooners, Sam Bradford, hurt his soldier and is likely out for the rest of the season. The thing is, Bradford isn't just any quarterback for any college football team. The Sooners, who coming into the season were a contender for the national championship, have struggled with Bradford out and are now 3-3 on the season. Bradford, who as a sophomore last season won the Heisman trophy award, chose to come back to Oklahoma for his junior season instead of being a high (possibly the first overall) draft pick and getting paid millions of dollars. The combination of these has put a lot of scrutiny on the right shoulder of a certain Sam Bradford.

         Although some of the national attention has been focused on Oklahoma's title chances going down the drain, most has been focused on the future of the Heisman winner. At the end of last season, there was a lot of debate as to whether Bradford would come back or go to the pros. Obviously there were benefits to each choice, but in the end Bradford chose to come back, hoping to impress the scouts with another big year in college. But now that Bradford is injured, and his season likely over, the debate as to whether he made the right decision coming back has fired up. Whatever position you choose in the argument, the big question is: Why are we arguing about it. The decision was made long ago, and nothing will change that, but more importantly, it wasn't our decision in the first place, and its not our place to second guess it now. And this isn't an isolated incident: whenever a decision is made, there's always someone to second guess it. Why do people have such a fascination with second guessing things? Especially long after the decision has been made?
