Bradf...Anon, I think you hit on the problem though. Bradford is injury-prone. If the Rams like a quarterback then I think they should draft one in the 1st round. They can't just keep hoping Bradford stays healthy. I will acknowledge they haven't always put great talent around him, but it's sort of the "chicken-or-the-egg" situation where Bradford hasn't exactly made the talent around him better like a franchise QB is supposed to do. <br /><br />I think Bradford is competent, but if the Rams think they can find a better QB in the draft I think they should take him. They have two 1st round picks again and Bradford can't stay healthy. Continuing to rely on him to be healthy doesn't seem smart and he hasn't shown himself to be a franchise guy at this point. <br /><br />I think the option should be out there, that's all. <br /><br />Eric, he has been there twice too. He has no idea if it's a real problem or not.

While Bradford hasn't been a "franchise quarterback" he is still a competent player. The biggest problem with Bradford is that he is injury prone.<br /><br />Keep in mind that the Rams have failed to draft an above average offensive player since they selected Steven Jackson in the 2004 draft. Bradford has played behind a suspect offensive line his entire career in the NFl and has been throwing the ball to sub-par receivers since he has entered the league. <br /><br />Bradford has been disappointing but it's not like he is surrounded by a bunch of pro bowl caliber players. He was having a very efficient season last year until he tore his ACL.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-102327997051254703.post-91419450987541677922014-04-23T08:41:29.658-04:002014-04-23T08:41:29.658-04:00Snarf, I think the Dodgers are in there now. Not e...Snarf, I think the Dodgers are in there now. Not every Red Sox fan thinks like Peter does, but he pretty much helps create the stereotype of a fan of a big market team who only thinks the other MLB teams are feeder squads. <br /><br />Anon, but it's not a good story if Peter writes "It's never easy to find a QB in the draft" and it also doesn't over-focus on the immediacy of THIS YEAR'S QB class and how hard it is to differentiate "the best" QB in the class. <br /><br />I would not draft Greg Robinson #1 and I'm a person who has absolutely no problem taking any position #1 in the draft if it is a position of need. Draft Clowney or a quarterback if there is one they like more than Clowney. <br /><br />This stuff happens every year where this draft is SO CRAZY and nobody knows anything. It's all the same every year. It's just boring to write that. <br /><br />Slag, I'm a Teddy fan anyway. He's the same size as RG3 except he isn't a QB who likes to run so I think that gives him a good chance of staying healthy. I hope Peter doesn't hate on Bridgewater like he does Freeman, though you are probably right.

Who is the next NFL player who Peter rags on mercilessly every week for no good reason other than his mere existence doesn't match the expectations Peter has for that player?</i> <br /><br />I think Peter already has a Josh Freeman in mind with Teddy Bridgewater. He's already dissed him twice in this MMQB alone: cold stock and needs time to adjust?!? Ugh! I'm going to be a Teddy fan just because Peter seems to determine that Teddy is a failure. <br /><br />Or he would say that the drafting QB is so unpredictable.Slag-Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04675587994618760072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-102327997051254703.post-20092565791776883532014-04-23T01:49:54.390-04:002014-04-23T01:49:54.390-04:00Ahh, for those halcyon days when drafting QBs was ...Ahh, for those halcyon days when drafting QBs was easy-breezy. Vince Young and Matt Leinart, those were some risk-free QBs. JaMarcus Russell and Brady Quinn, as sure-fire as they come. Tim Couch, Akili Smith, Cade McNown, get those bronze statues ready for Canton, am I right? <br /><br />What a flippin' joke. Who the hell thinks drafting a QB is ever easy? Peter and Rick Spielman, apparently. I'l let Peter in on a little secret; there is no such thing as a safe pick at any position. Go check out old scouting reports for Robert Gallery (GOOGLE OR BING IT, as Peter would say), and all you'll see is how "safe" of a pick he was. Robert Gallery was a disaster of a left tackle who had to be moved inside. A.J. Hawk was a "safe" pick as well, and while he's had a long career, I would not at all call him a good player. Vernon Davis went one pick later, and while he was considered riskier, he's also been much better. Matt Leinart was viewed as a thousand times safer than Jay Cutler. I could go on and on, the point is there's no such thing as a safe choice. Peter's been around the draft long enough that he should realize this, but he apparently can't dislodge his cranium from his rectal area.<br /><br />If I were Bob McNair and my people were even considering a tackle with the #1 pick, I would fire everyone pronto. This draft has QBs, pass rushers, receivers, and you're going to take a flippin' tackle? They already have Duane Brown! How does Greg Robinson make Houston one iota better?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-102327997051254703.post-23772137133539255352014-04-22T23:27:50.043-04:002014-04-22T23:27:50.043-04:00Of course Peter thinks Giancarlo-for-ambiguous &qu...Of course Peter thinks Giancarlo-for-ambiguous "young pitching" is a logical move for one of the 28 (27? are the Dodgers allowed in the Yankees-Sox level of acknowledgement now?)
