ALF Posted August 25, 2014 Posted August 25, 2014 Same knee, same injury as last year and not wearing a brace ?
BUFFALOKIE Posted August 25, 2014 Posted August 25, 2014 Sam Bradford out for season with torn ACL: http://www.nfl.com/n...n-with-torn-acl Imagine that! Five years of patience with a QB. Wasn't his deal the largest rookie contract in history? 5 years $50 million? That kinda money buys a lot of patience.
truth on hold Posted August 25, 2014 Posted August 25, 2014 Same knee, same injury as last year and not wearing a brace ? He was wearing a brace. And it looks like both times the hit was shoulder-height and not direct on the knee
Section242 Posted August 25, 2014 Posted August 25, 2014 Bradford is pretty average. Even with him they were a last place team. Now they're a last place team with a worse QB.
ALF Posted August 25, 2014 Posted August 25, 2014 He was wearing a brace. And it looks like both times the hit was shoulder-height and not direct on the knee I don't see any team taking a chance on him again if he is that fragile.
truth on hold Posted August 25, 2014 Posted August 25, 2014 (edited) I don't see any team taking a chance on him again if he is that fragile. The shoulder in college too made him miss a season. But someone will give him a chance because its such a QB-starved league. But I don't see how rams can wait longer especially if they draft high again next year. Here's a photo of the first acl. DB was grabbing him from behind and its when he planted the left foot a moment later it tore Edited August 25, 2014 by Joe_the_6_pack
Kellyto83TD Posted August 25, 2014 Posted August 25, 2014 I'd have to imagine the Rams are going to cut their losses with this kid and dump him after the season. They won't take much of a hit on their salary cap and Bradford has already suffered some major injuries that he may never fully recover from. Poor guy never got a fair shake in St. Louis with never really having any weapons on offense to work with. Rams are now in a position to bottom out and draft the next great QB at the top of next year's draft. Agreed, Sam had all the potential in the world, but they never got him any real talent. Then two torn ACL's on the same knee. I gotta think its time for him to hang it up.
Manther Posted August 25, 2014 Posted August 25, 2014 I still think the Rams will have a good season even without Bradford.
BarleyNY Posted August 25, 2014 Posted August 25, 2014 (edited) True. If it wasn't for the mega deal he had strapped around his team's neck, Bradford would've been cut years ago. The same could be said for Stafford too. Ironically, though, they are better than anything the Bills have had for years. Here is my issue with that - specifically with the Rams' actions. The Rams could have gotten out of that deal before last season due to its structure as the guaranteed money finished in 2013. He could have been traded (not released) before that season and while the dead money would have been substantial, the cap hit from a trade would have been positive overall. Before this season he'd have been much easier to trade or release and I could see them wanting to wait for that. The numbers would have been much better. His contract runs out in 2015 and trading him after this season would pose no issue on their end. Except that they don't have anyone to take his place. And that's my big issue with the Rams. Flush with so many additional high picks (thanks Washington!) they failed address the QB position. They did not draft or otherwise acquire a QB to mitigate the risk of sticking solely with the oft-injured Bradford. Now here they are again. Bradford is injured (again) and Shaun Hill is their best option. They made their bed. Bradford current contract info: http://overthecap.com/player/sam-bradford/1349 Edited August 25, 2014 by BarleyNY
mattsox Posted August 25, 2014 Posted August 25, 2014 could see the bills going after bradford next year if he gets cut. Don't Say THAT!
26CornerBlitz Posted August 25, 2014 Author Posted August 25, 2014 @AlbertBreer Sliver of good news on Rams QB Sam Bradford -- He only tore the ACL. Other ligaments are intact. Doesn't help for '14, but will in rehab.
26CornerBlitz Posted September 5, 2014 Author Posted September 5, 2014 @AroundTheNFL Emotional Sam Bradford not ready to think about future with Rams http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000389710/article/sam-bradford-gets-emotional-about-knee-injury?campaign=Twitter_atl …
ALF Posted September 5, 2014 Posted September 5, 2014 He tore the same ACL twice in 10 months. Don't even think of bringing back Kiko before next season.
26CornerBlitz Posted October 1, 2014 Author Posted October 1, 2014 Sam Bradford as Bills QB in 2015. Any interest if he becomes available?
FLFan Posted October 1, 2014 Posted October 1, 2014 Sam Bradford as Bills QB in 2015. Any interest if he becomes available? None. For the same reason that should be all too obvious to the Rams right now.
Rob's House Posted October 1, 2014 Posted October 1, 2014 I'd say no, but he might be our best option next year.
papazoid Posted October 1, 2014 Posted October 1, 2014 Sam Bradford as Bills QB in 2015. Any interest if he becomes available? hell yea. 11th ranked QB in 2013 playing on a bad team. proven and in his prime. take the sure thing.
PromoTheRobot Posted October 1, 2014 Posted October 1, 2014 Let's build a team of first round draft picks at every position.
papazoid Posted October 1, 2014 Posted October 1, 2014 if sam bradford was in next years draft....where would he go ? first round. probably top 10.
