The NFL morning show were talking about landing places for Johnny FBall, and the Rams came up. Strahan answered something to the effect that we all believe that Sam is talented, and will be back with the Rams.
UCLA's line has been abysmal, not just not good. It really hurt Hundley this year. Yesterday, you finally got to see when they still weren't good, but played better than most games this year. Hundley was 29 for 37 with 2 TD's in the air, over 300 yds, and 2 TD's on the ground rushing. He had another throwing TD, on a fade, taken away on a horrific call, where they thought the WR pushed off, replays clearly showed he didn't. Brett worked with Philip Rivers, the Mannings, and Tim Tebow, for leadership advice, in the offseason. He has the thirst to be the best. He just broke UCLA's all-time TD record...70, and still going.
He's been working in the pocket better the last few weeks, but sometimes he gets pressured before he's set to throw. He's tough, been sacked more than any other college QB over the last three years. He's been sacked over 110 times. Let that digest a little. Of all those sacks, he's probably gotten out of a lot more, he's strong, and doesn't go down easy. He's taken a little more than he would have, because he dislocated his elbow, he played the next game, with had a huge brace on his non-throwing elbow. Yesterday, was the first game without it. He will hold the ball too long at times, his mechanics, with his feet, are not perfect, but not bad either. His throwing motion is quick, and compact. In comparison, the Rams OL is light years better than UCLA's.
Biggest knock, is that he will tuck and run at first pressure, but he has improved on that, and I think the hurt elbow may have forced him to do that.
He has a plus arm, and is extremely accurate on short/swing, to intermediate throws. He can throw with touch, and he can gun it. He's pretty accurate on deep throws, but not dead accurate on every long throw. IMO, this is attributed to the fact that UCLA plays, just about, everybody on their roster, including 6, or more different receivers in a single game. He's a quiet, even keeled QB, it's hard to rattle him, even after getting sacked multiple times in a game, or when a player makes a huge mistake at a critical time.
I don't think he's a game one ready QB in the NFL, but I believe he has a ton of upside, and the type of kid that can handle a franchise title, with smarts, and class.
Bradford, Hundley, and Davis. Sounds good to me.
Sold Me @DR RAM .....I'll take a Winston-Hundley-Petty special please....
