    Say We Draft Bradford..

    Do we sit him out the whole year like packers did with Aaron Rodgers, Throw him into the fire like the Lions did with Matthew Stafford or ease him in to the lineup like..can't think of an example sorry..

    My Opinion:
    I think the rams would most likely ease him in but who knows, but the signing of AJ Feely IMO gives me the idea that they'll play him first couple of weeks then put in Bradford. Honestly i'd be against sitting him out the whole year because of all the money we would pay him. I would like to see whoever we pick number one overall play at least this season even if it's half a season. The only way i see the Rams throwing Bradford into the fire is if Feely gets injured during the pre-season which I hope does not happen.

    Side Note:
    I don't like how people(usually non-ram fans) say that the Rams shouldnt draft Bradford because of our O-Line. In my opinion our O-Line is better than the Lions O-Line when they drafted Matt Stafford. Just a little sidenote

    Re: Say We Draft Bradford..

    Normally I would say let the best QB in camp start the season, even if it is a rookie.

    But in the case of Bradford I would prefare to ease him in.

    Let the O-line gel together and let our WR's get some games under their belt before we consider putting him in.

    The main reason is that I am scared to reinjure Bradford. So at least the O-line should be up to full speed and our still young WR's should be able to handle our playbook mistake free.

      Sit him until after the bye week like tampa did with their rookie QB.

        I would sit him in the hole year except for the games against the Lions/Bucs/Raiders/Chiefs/Redskins lol =)

          Open competition during training camp. Feeley should win that, then over a few weeks Bradford's learning curve should catch up.
          The more things change, the more they stay the same.

            Agreed, if Bradford learns the system ridiculously fast (a huge task) and beats out the other guys, let him start from day one.

            Hell if Keith Null looks to be the best guy let him start.

              Let Feeley or Null be starter, let Bradford take a few snaps during those games and after bye week, we throw him in the pit of fire and have faith the guy will come back with his shoulder still healthy.

                My opinion is different.

                I chose start him from day 1.

                By all the research and everything Bradford is not coaky or arrogant. It seems like he is team player. We name a starter at all but we all know Bradford will start week1 and most likely week 4 of pre-season.

                We make sure he will be ready for the season opener then let him go.

                  By drafting him #1 OA there will be pressure from everywhere to start this guy, and when we start 0-2 in the preseason because Feely is , well Feely, the pressure will mount and I think we will see him very early.If Null shows good improvement and can start a few games that would help.

                    I hope null starts over feely, at least until we think bradford is ready to play.

                      Which would likely be a first for his career. Just for context.

                      Start him from day 1. If he can't hack it, he shouldn't have taken the money.

                        i dont understand why people would want null to start over feeley n bradford to start the season. if he is good enough to win the starting job from feeley n bradford in camp then shouldnt he be our quarterback of the future because he isnt going to do anything but get better and gain experience while starting...just sayin

                          Get better is a relative term, how much better does he get. Kyle Boller was still young, did he get good enough to be a good QB? Didn't seem like it to me. Finding a good quarterback isn't just an equation that you can plug X into. X + starts + young = quarterback of the future. Some guys just don't have it.

                            if we drqaft Sadford, and he doesnt start-- then dont draft him at all, when a player like Suh can transition into DT and start much more easily.

                            I keep hearing that QB is the most important postion that yields the greatest impact on the team, and that is why the Rams are going to draft Sadford---

                            well if he hardly plays then why not wait til next year, or a later round to draft a qb? This is another conundrum that I scratch my head about regarding this organization.

                              I believe Sanford is what you meant, because we are the junkyard of NFL talent lol. GO FEELY!! yea

                                Bradford Concern
                                by LA Rammer
                                Is Bradford really as safe #1 pick overall?

                                Consider this:

                                He was sacked a total of 6 times in his Heisman year with the best o-line in the country and then takes 2 shots last year and gets hurt both times.

                                Do you really think he's going to be able to take shot after shot against NFL All-Pros/Pro Bowlers week in and week out, especially with an o-line that gave up the 2nd most sacks in the NFL last year?

                                More rumblings about Bradford not signing before the draft
                                by Nick
                                Take it for what it's worth. Best case scenario, we add another name to the list of those we can chuckle at if Bradford does, in fact, sign prior to the draft. But there are some interesting points in there (ie. leverage, etc)....

                                Suddely Bradford doesn't look so expensive.
                                by VegasRam
                                And he is, (and will be even more so) worth it. Romo is GUARANTEED roughly $10M a year.

                                When you look at the Super high paid QB - Brees, Manning, Brady, Romo, Flacco, Rothlesberger, Bradford makes roughly half of their salaries, let's say $10M, and plays half as well. (Don't pick on my numbers - they're for rough comparison numbers only).

                                But it's not like we're paying Flynn or Kolb or Palmer or Cassell $10m a year not to play.
                                And just about the time the Rams are extending Bradford - I hope during or at the end of this year, (assuming obviously it's warranted) - for a 10 year average of say $12-14M a year, SF and Seattle will be giving Kap and Wilson 6 year $80M guaranteed contracts.

                                Bradford suffers from cashing in undeservedly in a faulty system, without performing in line with his salary, and while not his fault, it still leaves a justfiably bad taste in everyone's mouth. The killer for the Rams is they got hit three years in a row, which they are still recovering from.

                                Bottom line, there will come a day soon when Bradford will be considered a bargain.

                                Less worried about Bradford these days
                                by swatter555
                                Drafting an unproven in the NFL QB to a massive contract is a tough thing do. In a general sense, I think focusing on settling our QB issues should be the Ram's most important focus. Certainly that seems what we are about to do, but drafting a less than stellar QB or even a bust is such a huge concern considering the dollars we would have been putting up.

                                I have been doing some research on recent QB busts and in retrospect there were often warning signs that were overlooked because physical talent was so great. Physical talent was always there, but the busts almost always had character flaws or weren't all that smart. In retropect it is no doubt easier to spot those things, but they were often purposely overlooked.

                                After reading about Bradford and watching his interviews, he is a smart kid with a good head on his shoulders. His intangibles seem to be really high. Everyday that passes I am a little less worried and think he will do at least very well. Of course signing him to that contract, you expect him to be a superstar, but lets just take that one step at a time.

                                At this point, I think there is a good chance he will be the best thing to happen to the Rams since we got Marshall Faulk and Kurt Warner emerged.

                                Rams should let Bradford hold the clipboard for awhile
                                by dgr828
                                Its not the same as Mark Sanchez with the New York Jets, who was thrown into the fire as their starting QB, right away as a rookie.
                                The Rams should treat their #1 draft pick and future franchise quarterback with kid gloves, for starters, literally.

                                Sam Bradford is sure to be chomping at the bit to get his NFL career going and already with his mere presence has caused a QB controversy for the Saint Louis Rams.

                                The Detroit Lions selected a QB with their #1 pick a year ago and started him right away as a rookie with , more or less, disasterous results.
                                Matthew Stafford under center for a team that lost to the Rams last year, is much different than Mark Sanchise taking over a well equipt Jets team.

                                The Rams may want take a different approach than the Lions, who started their QB right away with no support.

                                If Sam Bradford were a Jet he would be the 'Bradchise'.

                                but he's a Ram, a team desparately trying to regain its identity. Until they find it, its probably best that our old 'Uncle Sam' holds the old clipboard for at least the start of the regular season. ITS AJ ON OPENNING DAY!!!
