Charles Davis on Sam, and the Rams

He says, Bradford has to get to the place where he’s making big plays in big games. Okay. How about 4 comebacks in his last 15 starts? (Though 1 was for a tie.) Including 3 in the division.

Were those BIG games?

Well that’s a relative question for a 7-9/7-8-1 team that didn’t have the chance to play a game that put them in the playoffs.

But given that it is a relative question I would say yes. It includes Division games in the NFC west. Starting with what would become the NFC champs on the road in Nov. 2012.

Though to be extra fair, the term “big game” was mine in a kind of kwik & sloppy summary. Here’s what Davis actually says: “the best ones in the league, especially when your team is on the precipice, they have that ability to kind of steal a couple of games by making some big plays themselves.”

That’s a direct summary, not my kwik summary from before.

And to answer Davis’s question, yes he has done that.

In fact, my view is, if he doesn’t keep doing it at a fairly regular pace, then, I will think he has regressed.

Davis? Truth is not every analyst can or will see every game by every team. So they form opinions out of snatches they do see. They’re not watching the coach’s 22 film views of all 32 teams for all 16 regular season games. My bet is that with most if not all national types, their dominant recent image of Bradford comes from last year’s SF game, the only nationally broadcast game. That was a poor game by the Rams all the way around, Bradford included.
