As I’ve been saying, the Rams are stuck with Bradford whether they like it or not.

I think the Rams pick Kalil with the second pick. He’s considered a franchise LT and future Pro Bowler (whatever that’s worth). By most accounts he’s the rated the second best player in the draft. Then they can move Saffold to RT and Smith to G, thus strengthening three positions on the line and giving Bradford a chance.

McDaniel is the anti-Midas. Everything he touches turns to crap. We should have realized that when he favored Cassel over Cutler.

Offensive Line! and Bradford would be protected and SJ39 would be blowing up defenses. Brandon Lloyd and Danario Alexander did not look awful this year. Danny Amendola gets healthy as a great slot receiver and possible return man. They have the cards, they just need to build a house.

Really? Really? Sam Bradford has suddenly become awful? How about this:

1. 8 Starters on IR; including both tackles, starting TE and starting WR. Yes, I know, I know, Green Bay lost starters left and right last year and won the Super Bowl; however, Green Bay did not lose them in the key areas, OL and WR and offense is about continuity.
2. Drafting for defense; the reason for David Carr’s failure because Dom Capers (HC) and Charlie Casserly(GM) always drafted for defense (save Andre Johnson) and decided to stock offense w/off the street FAs.

The Rams will set themselves back 3-5 years if they decide this or is this Stan Kronke’s master plan to go back to LA?

You know it’s a real shame that the Rams didn’t pay attention to their divisional counterparts in this disaster. The 49ers wrote the recipe the Rams are cooking with. It only took 7 years to reclaim the wreckage…. Same can be said for Seattle to an extent. They had success and then let the team go so Hasselbeck suffered the consequences.

So Bradford who has started 20+ games in the NFL couldn’t draw much more than a third rounder, but a guy like Kolb who was a back up with a handful of decent games under his belt was worth a 2 and Cromartie? Jesus, you guys are worse GM’s than Deveany.

It’s simple, they have NO CHANCE of trading him. So build around him. I still think he has all the physical tools to be good in this league. As a lions fan I don’t follow the rams closely but seems like maybe they should keep spags and give it another year with this system, rather than start from scratch. We started from scratch, and it took 3 years to get the 6th seed. So I say give your system another year.

So glad Bradford stayed in school another year to avoid Detroit. It would have been fitting for the Lions if they got him instead of Stafford.

Bradford doesn’t have much value really a 3rd or maybe a 2nd could be right for a injury prone Qb who hasn’t done much. having said that if they end with the first pick Luck its’s a no brainer

Bradford put up pedestrian numbers in a dink and dunk offense his rookie year far from what could be called “great”. They went 7-9 last year due to their defense being healthy not an overrated injury prone QB. Bradford = David Carr 2.0

I’d be thrilled to see my Redskins trade for Bradford, but this whole ”multiple picks” talk is for the birds. The best they will be offered is one draft pick from the 2nd round or even 3rd round.

Nobody will sell their team’s future away for an expensive QB with a mediocre record.

If the Rams get the #1 overall pick, they need to trade the pick, not draft Andrew Luck, keep Bradford, and keep HC Spagnuolo and GM Devaney too.

Sincerely,
Signed, all Seahawks and Niners fans…..

There is no way that Bradford should be traded. The Rams have invested a lot of money into this guy and who will replace him in the FA market? Unless they draft Luck or Griffin III, starting a rookie is normally not a good idea (ie.David Carr). Even if they drafted Luck, they need help around him. Brandon Lloyd is good, but as a #2, maybe #3 and Stephen Jackson is really the only offensive weapon they have. I think they should keep Bradford and give him a better supporting cast. TO is a better receiver than what they have now (he is good, not great anymore).

The rams problem is they have whiffed on their o-line picks, their franchise tackles taken early are a joke and will probably both be replaced. Jason Smith was a #2 pick and Saffold #33. The last 5 drafts or so have really been a joke outside of Bradford and Chris Long. The GM should be the first one to lose his job not Bradford.

Dolphins have the cap room and could work a deal that would be cheaper than moving up to get Luck or RG3, that would be my new years resolution. Unfortunately PFTSTORY has it right, this continued push to have GM”s and Coaches clean house every time they take over is the biggest myth going. If anything the McDaniels situation proved that cleaning house isn’t the smart thing to do.

I think RG3 will end in the mix for the number 1 pick.

Cleveland has two first round picks, one of which could swapped for Bradford. The Rams can get Luck, possibly a receiver, and move on. Bradford can then die a little inside knowing he has to live in Cleveland.

“Every new G.M. wants to hire his own coach, and every new coach wants to find his own quarterback. ”

This is simply not true.

Dungy kept Manning when he took over.
Caldwell kept Manning when he took over.
Its a weaker example but did Switzer change QB’s for the Cowboys?
Tomlin has been with the Steelers for 5 years. Ben has been there 8.

There is a new GM and coach because the team is no good. That is why they want a new QB, odds are the guy there can’t do the job. 3 coaches above has won a Super Bowl. McDaniel’s did not.

New Coaches of bad teams want their own QB. But in reality they just want to upgrade the position. MCDaniel’s might be an example of what bad coaches do.

Show me the new coaches, (yes plural to support your claim) that dumped a quality QB just to bring in their own guy.

Dear Rams,

OK…If you want to play hardball…we will trade Rex G and John B. We have staked our reputation on these guys, but we will give Sam a shot.

Kyle and Mike

I wouldn’t be surprised to see the Browns make a grab for him. If the Rams have a top pick this year, it might make it easier to move Bradford.

Shurmer worked with Bradford already so that is a good fit. If Bradford’s stock as fallen, it might not take the Palmer deal to get it done.

I would rather the Browns get playmakers and give Colt one more year.

Give him a chance.he was great last year but injuries and a piss poor team around him has made him falter.get the picks and build a team.

I don’t see why they would want to trade him, he was hurt this year and had 5th string receivers to throw to.

I still think that there is a lot of upside to this guy, I remember when he played Washington that he was hitting receivers in the hands and they were dropping them.

It’s hard to decide who’s star has fallen further this season; Sam Bradford or Josh Freeman. Everybody was so high on both these guys coming in and they have both played pretty terribly this year. That being said, it would be quite surprising to see the Rams try to move Bradford just 1 season after his rookie of the year campaign.
