That is not the point.
That's exactly the point. You can't even argue it. It's simple logical reasoning.
Bradford record as a starter 18-30 .375% WP
Back up QB's during Bradford Tenure 8-16 .333% WP
That equates to less than 1 game over the course of a 16 game season
So yes, I find it completely ridiculous that folks can just plug a win in here or there when over the course of his career, he hasnt made that difference compared to his back ups.
Sam is physically better than any QB that has worn a Rams uniform in a decade. I've NEVER denied that, and like everyone who pays attention, would LOVE to see that physical potential be reached, HERE in a Rams uniform.
And my original point was merely that its amazing how much better Bradford is getting merely by Davis getting worse.
Probably because those folks are capable of looking beyond the numbers at a situation in a logical sense rather than just choosing to ignore that to compare numbers that completely lack context.
Are we really going to argue that the Rams over the final 9 games in 2013 weren't a clearly better team than the Rams that played the first 7 games? The defense settled into the scheme and played much better. The offense actually had a ground game to rely on. It's context that you're conveniently ignoring. I'll even provide context:
Bradford's 7 Starts
PPG Allowed - 26.3 PPG
Clemens's 9 Starts
PPG Allowed - 20.0 PPG
That's almost a TD per game better.
Here's another big one:
Bradford's 7 Starts
70.6 RYPG, 3.19 RYPC, 0 RTDs
Clemens's 9 Starts
139.8 RYPG, 4.64 RYPC, 10 RTDs
That's 69.8 rushing yards per game, 1.45 yards per carry, and 1.1 rushing TDs per game more with Clemens as a starter than Bradford.
Did Bradford cause our defense to play 6.3 PPG worse? Did Bradford cause our running game to be average nearly 70 yards per game, 1.5 yards per carry, and 1 TD per game less? No.
So to compare records without any sort of context is nuts to me. We're Rams fans; we know what happened. Cite Bradford's record all you want to, this team would be 5-4 at worst with him at QB.
Bradford is getting better? Because of the belief that he'd play better than a guy that just got benched for Shaun Hill? You have to be kidding me.
