To be fair, if you're going to pull an RG3 trade, what better time to do it than after multiple successive years with more than on 1st/2nd round pick, etc.
Oddly enough, the greatest period of rams football began with a season-ending injury in pre-season to the qb who was expected to do big things.
i picked Warner up off the waiver wire when that happened ...best waiver wire pick up in my FF history
Sure, but doing something right is a far cry from being an elite talent. The term elite gets bandied about way too much these days. There's only like 4 elite qbs in this league and we all pretty much know who they are.
I thought he looked really good. He may be limited by his arm but he seemed to have enough to get the job done. All he might need to do is facilitate the playmakers to be a decent option if Hill doesn't work.
Right. What was the point of going out to sign one of the best and most experienced backup QBs in the league if you are going to panic and trade for a bust like Ponder that doesn't know the system, has gotten no reps with the offense.
This is why I feel much, MUCH worse for St. L and their fans. Bradford has a huge contract and the amount of money he has cost them over the years vs. the actual return is dismal. Not that it's entirely Bradford's fault. Obviously 2 ACL surgeries is just bad luck. Still, this is about the worst possible way things could have played out for St. L. Bradford has shown enough to instill confidence that he could be their franchise guy, though never got over the hump. He's been good enough that they couldn't just cut bait with him like Gabbert. It's never fair to live in the "what could have been" world but it's got to be difficult for St. L fans to not wonder how different things might be if they drafted RG3. The bottom line is that he's now missed 31 of 80 games and been paid a kings ransom.
Agreed. I have never been a big Fisher fan - I always thought he was overrated in Tennessee, mostly because some called him one of the best in the league - but he has done a very nice job with the Rams. He'll get a pass for this year if they struggle, because of Bradford's injury, but at some point all of that talent needs to translate to a winning record.
Can't blame him. After playing in Kelly's exciting offense, why on earth would a QB, even one as mediocre as Sanchez, want to go back to playing in Schottenheimer's predictably dopey offense? Look up where Scottenheimer's offenses have ranked every year he's been an OC. How is still employed as an OC is beyond me.
He must be good enough for Minnesota to keep him on the roster. If there were a bunch of great backup QBs they wouldn't be backups.
Seems logical. looked ok in pre-season so far. Sanzhez can easily parlay this a long career.
I love Bradford, no doubt. I took some time and went through a bunch of rosters and am struggling to find anyone other than Ponder. They should, but I don't think the Vikes trade Ponder cheaply nor that he's wortha pick that could yield their future QB.
So you're saying he was dominant during practice sessions, but for some "obvious reason", they didn't feature him during any pre-season games.
