Lets be real fellas how much pressure is on Bradford to perform this year? Not saying he has to be Tom Brady but he has to be a top 10 guy. He has to improve his YPG on offense.
I'd say there could be less pressure on him individually than in any other previous year in his career. The defense could be the best he's ever played with, so the onus may not be on the offense in general to score that many points to win. Plus as opposed to the beginning of last year, Stacy's a solid incumbent RB who can shoulder the load.
I like me some Stacy with a dose of some Mason. Just like to see Sam really light it up with the deep ball.
There is always pressure on the QB, but agree with your take; the team is stronger all around. There is cohesion in more places than ever before.
AND... Sam's entering his 3rd season in the same offense! Woot!

Sam has no more pressure on him than any of the other 31 Quarterbacks in the league.
The thing is, though, that those 32 QBs have more pressure on them than all of the other players, coaches, GMs, and owners in the league put together. It takes a special human to be a starting QB in the NFL. That is why every year teams "reach" on a guy in the first round, simply because they hope one of those reaches turns into a guy who can hack it.
We are going to learn this year if Sam is one of those 32 elite men, or is he one of the 7.24 billion in the world who just aren't.
I think it's more about wins...
Isn't that just pathetic? About to be 6 years into his career and this is the first time he's entered his 3rd season with the same coordinator, half of his career at the moment wasted on a rotating door of a team. Really puts the exclamation point on how much of a lame duck the Rams have been hasn't it?AND... Sam's entering his 3rd season in the same offense! Woot!
To prove your point, Tony Romo would be a XLNT example! Great stats, But 8-8,8-8,8-8,7-9, the last 4 years! (8-8 last year against the AFC Least!)I'd like to measure his performance in wins, and not raw QB stats. You see these guys say that Kaep and Wilson are great QBs in this day and age, but Sam had comparable stats to both of them, and outright beat them in a few QB stats. There's a different line shone on an under performing QB, so long as his team carries him to a win.
