The thing to remember, Jrry, is that QBs always rise up the boards. If he was playing perfectly the Rams would not have a shot at him because he'd go top 3 with his talent. Meanwhile, look back at his film from last year, he really had an outstanding, underrated season. The dude is immensely talented.
Our range of picks in the first round we won't have a shot at Mariota, and the 2nd QB taken is likely Winston who will also go well before the Rams are up. The teens we're looking at the next tier of QBs which I do think will include Petty. He is far superior to Cook, for example, and many of the others who are the potential risers for that range of picks.
For those who are thinking Bradford gets another shot, well, it's a pipe dream. Rams are going to draft a QB to compete with him and Davis, or maybe just Davis. Only other real option is signing a FA QB and overpaying from a garbage class of free agents, or trying to pry an underappreciated QB from another team. Of the options the draft offers the Rams the best balance for next year and the future.
I forgot the blue font.Not at all.
You have him rated higher than me. His back shows damage in the team physicals I can see UDFA.
I feel your pain. I don't know if I could pull the trigger on either of the top two considering there would be better talent on the board. Just guessing, but Winston won't get beyond the Jets if Oak. does not trade his rights away. Then Jets take MM. If Mariota falls in to 8- 12 range I can see the Eagles moving up to take him.No, I'm with you. I don't want the guy. Gimmicky offense, doesn't handle blitzes and pressure well, far less effective since his back injury, old for a young QB, and hasn't been accurate this year.
Beyond Winston and Mariota, I just am having trouble with all these QBs. And I still have major reservations about Winston and Mariota.
I think Sam starts next year.
You were right the first time
I thought the bashing on Bulger back in the day was ridiculous and appreciate everything he did for us, but I don't think this was the case at all. He had already been... well... Bulgerized by then. He probably would have been gone in 2009 except for cap reasons (although I was pulling for him).If there was no Bradford that year then Bulger would have got another year.
You'll see.Yea, I'm starting to think so too. Just not a better option unfortunately.
No. Not even close.
You'll see.
I know but I just figured you needed the laugh.Winston may not pan out but he's not much like Geno.
I'm with you. He was better than most gave him credit for. He was a gamer. he took a beating. I've often thought what would have happened if there wasn't the Bradford option. Yeah Suh. People complain about SB's contract, what would they have said about paying Suh almost as much.I thought the bashing on Bulger back in the day was ridiculous and appreciate everything he did for us, but I don't think this was the case at all.

In 2010, it was obviously time to move on. Without Bradford, I think you see a free agent QB and/or a second round guy after the Rams take Suh.
In the end,I couldn't stand Spags or Linehan.Those two clowns were in over their head.Spags and his 4 pillars nonsense kept us from picking up good players.I'm with you.

Not sure who would have been the 2nd rd QB, Maybe McCoy who would have been okay in Shurmur's O, but no upside.
I think maybe Bulger would have come back at least one more year since he would have been the about the best available. Maybe with a pay cut.
While we're re-writing history, if Linehan hadn't cut Fitz he might have taken over for Bulger and won enough games so Bradford wouldn't have ever been a option. So in other words creek different canoe.

Agreed but that's a whole other problem the issue is whether or not the Rams should bring back Sam Bradford.But you are right about the OL he or any QB we get will need a better line to succeed.Fix the line and that will be the least of your worries.
People use that contract of Bradfords to further their agenda.I'm with you. He was better than most gave him credit for. He was a gamer. he took a beating.
