BuffaninATL Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 @JoeBuscaglia: "To be clear, Sam Bradford isnt demanding a trade. And the Rams arent interested in trading Bradford" - Jim Thomas of STL Post Dispatch @ChrisBrownBills: Rams GM on plan for QB Bradford http://t.co/7ucApoFQSO a different context on Yo's post : http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/2015/2/19/8070833/sam-bradford-trade-rams-nfl-draft
YoloinOhio Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 I would say the worst case scenario is that he gets hurt and EJ plays like EJ. Which means another lost season and another year of age on the defense. he's 6-7 in games he's started and finished and that was under maroon. There's a reason he's not going into the season as a starter but I'm not going to act like he's never led the team to victory.
HOUSE Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 I think he'll be our Franchise QB next year and a replacement for our 1st round pick we traded. Agree

There's a reason he's not going into the season as a starter but I'm not going to act like he's never led the team to victory. I'm not saying he never led the team to victory. I'm saying he won't do it enough to prevent another lost season. I think the chances of Bradford not getting hurt are extremely low.
Hapless Bills Fan Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 Bradford would certainly have to compete for the starting job, it wouldnt be handed to him. Why are you so against Bradford coming in? Isnt it better to have multiple options at QB? Do you really feel that we are ok going into the season with just EJ as the guy with no backup plan in case he doesnt develop or actually regresses? jletha, what do you mean by "Bradford coming in"? Do you mean "if St Louis cuts him and he's a FA, we should pursue him"? Do you mean "we should offer a trade to St Louis and take on his $13M 2015 salary?" I think everyone agrees we need multiple options at QB and no one is OK going into the season with just EJ and Tuel. Even if EJ lights the place up, injuries! The thing is, except for the list of current FA, no one is just "coming in". Every QB will cost something - whatever we give up in trade plus their cap hit. So you really can't trade for a lot of the guys people keep mentioning "to compete" , Bradford included. You have to be persuaded he's "the man" before you give away something good AND Get out the checkbook.
Rubes Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 Just to note, as others have, that Bradford has two full 16-game seasons under his belt. We all think he's an injury waiting to happen, but look at Eric Wood. Guy couldn't finish a complete season his first four years in the league, now he's had two straight 16-game seasons.
K D Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 Get Bradford and get AP and with this defense we would be the team to beat in the AFC overnight (OK maybe not but we would be right up there with the Pats finally). There shouldn't be a price that they shouldn't pay to make it happen. We have all of the pieces except a QB and a legit RB

An excellent point to keep in mind.
DirtDart Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 Can he stay healthy is the question. Still not really proven. That would be my fear. Is he worth a ton of money?, and can he stay healthy. My opinion is a resounding no on both. The risk is not worth the reward.

Bradford also missed his senior year of college with an injury. Could you imagine him if was playing against the Houston Watts this year?
Beef Jerky Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 Bradford also missed his senior year of college with an injury. Could you imagine him if was playing against the Houston Watts this year? EJ made it through he game without an injury.
YoloinOhio Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 @ByJimCorbett: Jeff Fisher on Sam Bradford: "When we've had him, we're 5-2-1 in the division. We're counting on him. We're betting on him."
John from Riverside Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 It sounds to me like they have no intention of letting him get away We need to pursue other QB options
GunnerBill Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 Yea me too. I don't see where they go at QB if they release him.
DrDawkinstein Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 Fisher on ESPN right now, straight-up stated they are not trading Bradford. I dont doubt his agent was given permission to seek trades, but as others have speculated, it's most likely so they get a better idea of his value. Of course, with the offseason being the offseason, it wouldnt surprise me to see him traded mere minutes after Fisher said they werent going to. LOL. But there was no coach-speak, and it really sounded like they plan on having Bradford on their roster this season.
eball Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 This is a pretty savvy way for Fisher to drive up Bradford's trade value.

Jeff Fisher wants Sam Bradford back, at the "right price" http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2014/12/11/jeff-fisher-wants-sam-bradford-back-at-the-right-price/

We're betting on him." I was at one of the losses. His rookie year, last game of the season on Sunday Night in Seattle. Rams 7-8 vs Hawks 6-9. Winner wins the division and hosts a playoff game. The Clipboard Jesus led Hawks take the win. The following week the Hawks beat the Saints courtesy of the "Beat Quake". Anyway, I was underwhelmed by Bradford's performance that night. Go Bills !!
Canadian Bills Fan Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 EJ will be our starter next year I have accepted that and Im ok with it If he doesnt pan out next year, at least we will have a 1st round pick to spend on a QB and a better free agent pool CBF
