Just saying it with no examples to provide a shred of evidence does not prove jack.You make some good points but I can counter them by saying that Sam IS the reason the Rams lost in some games. If you want to break guys down there will always be numbers for the good and the bad. I am simply saying that Sam doesn't win.....period. He's had 4 years and yes some bad players around him but, he still doesn't win and is very injury prone. I don't care about stats, I care that my QB, who is supposed to be an elite talent, wins games and stays on the field. I still say we can get 7 wins with a rookie and the 2-3 other players we could get for Sam's huge salary.
I HOPE Sam blows up the league this year and I eat crow, but I doubt it. I think we might have seen all check down Sam has to offer already.
You may be right on target there. If it is it won't take long to figure out.Wondering if the Hawk is short for Seahawk fan?
Probably! I mean, what's not to like?Looks like someone is disliking our posts, Big! Wonder if it's the Hawk?

Not on a agenda against Hawk, Prime! Just the article and the dislikes! Damn laptop not letting me do a smiley!
Got it!Then mention the contents of the article only and not the member's name.
He threw 262 passes. Only 34 of them were labeled as "deep" passes according to the play-by-play. That's roughly 13 percent. The average NFL quarterback throws "deep" passes a little over 18 percent of the time.
Bradford's average pass traveled 6.9 yards in the air. The average NFL pass travels 8.3 yards in the air.
Bradford averaged 4.6 yards per attempt on those five-and-under dinks and dunks. The NFL average is 5.2.
No worries, Brother! Opinions are what make this place run. I, personally, do not agree with the article and did not like the viewpoint from which it was written (seemed to me more like the author had an axe to grind rather than objective reporting) but that's just my opinion.Sorry for the name calling. Didn't think apologists was bad. Won't happen again. Same goes for someone accusing me of being a hawks fan right?
As to the legitimacy of the article, Tanier is spot on. Yes, he was negative towards the Rams. However, if you have watched Bradford there is no other conclusion to be drawn other than up until this point he was been bad. That isn't to say he will stay that way and that isn't to say that he isn't a product of his environment (OC, offensive talent, etc...) But to name call and denounce Tanier's argument with nothing more than name calling is what is known as hyperbole.
He supports his argument with facts:
I fully understand that Bradford hasn't been surrounded with top-tier talent. However, to naysay any fact based argument showing Bradford's weaknesses can't be cast side just because it's negative. Also, since when are fans not allowed to be negative? I pay money to see games, own jerseys and what not and will be critical of the teams I root for when I feel they are failing.
EDIT: Also, I haven't disliked anyone's post. I'm sure there is a way a mod can confirm that.
He supports his argument with facts:
Facts yes, but not supporting that Bradford is bad. So what if the NFL average for deep throws is 18 percent? How about TD to INT ratios? Completion percentages?
