Bradford was completing around 60 percent of his passes and the only quarterback to throw fewer interceptions than Bradford was Peyton Manning. But those were bloated numbers that came during the last quarter or few minutes of the game. Since being drafted by St. Louis in 2010, the verdict is still out on Bradford, which is a pretty generous ruling.

is this actually true?

looking at his splits from espn.com

his qb rating when they won by 0-7 points was 93.1.
his qb rating when they won by 8-14 points was 105.3.
his qb rating when they won by more than 15 points actually went down to 85.9.

his qb rating in the 4th quarter +/- 7 points was 136.0.

unless i’m reading this wrong he performed well during close games when they needed him to…

i think jimitroutboy was a big fan of gaines. secondary could use all the help it can get. i like a lot of what the rams have done there drafting guys like gaines and joyner. tough guys who just constantly battle.

my pick is zac stacy. i think with this revamped oline he could put up some sick numbers.

my pick is michael brockers. he came to the nfl with very limited experience at his position. as it is, he’s made some progress. but this is his third year in the pros. right about the time that defensive tackles come into their own. he’s physically maturing and now the mental aspect is coming around. he is surrounded by great talent. and he’s got a defensive coordinator and dline coach who are going to get the best out of him. it’s all going to come together for him this year.

next year it’ll be greg robinson.

well. definitely curious to see how he performs as i’m sure a lot of teams are.

but 40+ reps and a 4.5 40 at 360 pounds???

well that sounds like a load of bs. not buying it.

i can see bailey forming that relationship with bradford. like bradford did with clayton and amendola and lloyd before him. bailey’s gonna be the glue that brings this passing game together. i can just see it. as soon as he serves his suspension that is…

sigh.

i’m not sure i understand what all of that means. but with guys like robert quinn, michael brockers, aaron donald, alec ogletree, and tj mcdonald. it seems like this defense has the ability to morph into a lot of different things. curious to see how this all develops this season.

couple things.

1. imagine if he played on those gsot teams. the amount of times opposing teams had to pass as opposed to now. where opposing teams have the luxury of running a lot more.

2. there were times watching faulk that i would tear up. last season. watching quinn literally crawl over to sack brees brought tears to my eyes. just beautiful to watch.

Rams just have not done enough with their passing game yet to do anything

that. is an odd sentence.

but yeah. the biggest thing for me at this point is injuries. every other year he’s going down. that’s just not going to cut it. although he should be in line for a full season this year if the trend holds. ha!

nice to see him getting some recognition. now we need brockers to make that jump from alright player to serious difference maker.

i was worried for awhile. didn’t know what to do. this is the go to place for rams information and discussion for me. great collection of personalities too. nothing like it on the cyberweb.

when they got the ball to austin on the move, he was devastating. as a receiver. in the backfield. when he was moving and had time to scan the field, he made guys look silly. so maybe they need to get him the ball on the move. getting the ball to him on screens when he’s standing still. he’s not big enough to break tackles. and this league is too quick for him to out quick people from a stand still. but get him the ball while he’s moving. i think he’s shown he’s got great vision to get some big yards.
