Title: Sam Bradford?
Post by: Fins4ever on February 24, 2012, 10:26:49 am
There is growing speculation the Rams could take RG3 and look to trade Bradford. They would save 26 mil.

Sam started out like a pro bowler but fell on hard times last year with injuries. Not sure what it was. Should we kick the tires? We should get him at a much more reasonable price than the Rams did.

Ugh....I don't even know anymore.  I have lost the will to speculate on all of these QBs.  I'm kinda disenfranchised.  It's like the Fins have the same problem every offseason.

Sam Bradford took a lot of hits last year and handled it fairly well, so I am not ultra worried about injuries with better protection. 

I don't think we would go wrong with Bradford, I just don't know how right it would be.  We have a better O-line and receivers than the Rams, so I imagine he would do well with us.  But would it be enough?  I am a little worried about his lack of leadership intangibles.  I realize that Eli is a good example of how those intangibles may not matter, but most of the great QB's know how to light a fire under some butts.

The good news is that we have several very reasonable options to get a good QB this year.  The more options we have, the less likely we are to miss out.  Even if we went with Moore for a year and groomed a replacement, I would be fairly satisfied.

Who is going to take Sam Bradford's contract?

In any case, trading away a known commodity (Rookie of the Year less than two years ago) for someone who might as well be the next Vince Young is dumb.

If the Rams do it they are stupid. For Luck, OK. For RGIII, nope!

Plus Bradford was rookie of the year 2 years ago and had them on the brink of the playoffs. They had a rough year last year no doubt but I wouldn't kick the kid to the curb just yet. Give him some help on offense. He literally has none right now

The question becomes moot. I don't have the link, but Fisher said trading Sam was not an option.

Not to mention its impossible with his contract and the salary cap hit
