I would LOVE to see Ron do a segment on his show where he breaks down tape of HIMSELF. Having grown up watching “Jaws” in his prime, I can only imagine he and Gruden would have a field day with these tapes. Don’t get me wrong,… I was/am a Ron Jaworski fan. However, he was great at folding up like a lawn chair when he felt or saw pressure coming.

It was apparent from week 1 the Rams were having problems protecting Bradford.

It’s still amazing to me that Spagnuolo and Loney had no answer for it.

Did a fan with the handle, “thegreatgabbert,” just mock Sam Bradford for having Cabin Fever? Seriously? TheGreatGABBART?

Why yes, yes he did.

I love irony.

Who in their right mind drafts a qb #1 overall then makes gives him a new coach and a new offense to learn every year?

Very very strange. I thought that Jeff Fisher just became the coach of the Rams for the 2012 season.

Silva thinks otherwise I guess. Back to the Future part 4?

“Jaworski said he expects new coach Jeff Fisher to “manage” Bradford in 2011 with a “run-first approach.” But Jaws also deemed Bradford “right now, a question mark.”

Did anybody happen to watch the Fiesta Bowl between OU & WVU? This guy can’t handle a pass rush. Johnny Dingle is still being held to this day I think and I believe it was only called twice. He dominated the Big 12 that year where they don’t/didn’t play defense. Welcome to the NFL, where there’s ALWAYS a good defense.

Sounds like the same thing Blaine Gabbert that happened last year.

@pacificnw…

It’s not irreversible. See Kurt Warner. He was David Carr before David Carr.

“Bradford has absorbed a WHOPPING 70 sacks in his first 26 games.”

Also known as the “David Carr Syndrome” irreversible shell shocked deer in headlights look in the pocket…..

Excellent assessment by Jaws. Bradford did take a step back. He has no talent around him and the coaching is also to blame. The hiring of Fish should make a big difference. I’m rooting for this kid. He does have the “it” factor and the potential to be a top tier quaterback in this league. But getting knocked on his butt 70 times in 2 years is not good. C’mon St. Louis, you gotta protect your investment. Give this guy some support.

Rams better fix that offensive line before Bradford catches a case of “David Carr Syndrome.” Hopefully it’s not too late. Of course, having a few good wide receivers wouldn’t hurt, either.

Bradford getting all antsy and squirmy in his pocket. leading to premature evacuation.

Bradford is head and shoulders above most QBs in the league and most that have been drafted the last few years. The Rams finally have a HC that knows how it’s done (last being DV) and with some more great moves (like having to first round picks for the next two years) he will soon begin to dominate in the division and league. Get used to it.

Devaney and Spags are long gone, but their bungling legacy is still going strong.

When Spags was hired he said you build from the inside out….then the team passes on Suh to draft a damaged goods, overrated QB.

Idiots.

Watch 10 years from now where people don’t remember Bradford at all. TONS of hype for a pedestrian player.

Maybe don’t anoint players after one season. They did the same thing with Matt Ryan. And…well the list would go on and on.

Bradford will be a great QB if the Rams give him 1. better receivers and 2. more protection. It’s hard to make passing plays with no time, and receivers who drop the ball or never are open.

I liked Spags personally the team did suffer lots of injuries. Still, moving to a down field passing game without a decent line and receivers who can actually get down field was insane. To make it worse, they stuck with the 7 step drops even after it was obvious the O tackles couldn’t pass protect. All of that was in his control and he didn’t do anything to address the problem.

Ankle sprain, OL injuries, WR injuries, lack of said WRs, lockout, etc. Oh and the worst OC this team ever hired, who refused to adjust even with all the injuries and bad execution. Steven Jackson should’ve had a few more TDs. There was no need to be cute and try and pass when it was goal to go.

Jaws went on to say that Bradford might also have rockin’ pneumonia and the boogie woogie flu.

Thanks for the insight Jaws.

So can we finally admit that you need to build your line before going out and finding a stud QB?

Otherwise it just seems like you have a higher probability to ruin a potential future star by making him gun shy.

Sam Bradford is OverHyped, average NFL QB with very little reasons to be excited about.

Marc Bulger had “cabin fever” too.

Coincidence?

I think not. No protection will do that to you.

Shades of David Carr? 70 sacks in a season and 3/4 can take a toll on you.

Didn’t he have a high ankle sprain for most of the season? Hard to throw a football when you can’t plant your football.
