Capt Checkdown throwing over 15 yards on 33% of his attempts is going to lose him that nickname.

Add to that 6 drops and negative rushing yards from Murray and it's somehow all on Bradford.

The guard play argument is being overblown. The guards didn't run block well. But they did pass block. If you watched the game Bradford was practically untouched. Bradford had plenty of time to throw the ball. He just didn't do it well.

As for Bradford vs Foles. One is a Ram one isn't. I could care less about Bradford as an Eagle, other than his return on the trade. May he play 50% of the snaps..

Historically Bradford wasn't a very good Ram and so far he isn't a very good Eagle.

I have a feeling A1 was just trying to support the fact that our former QB, who many weren't ready to say goodbye to, wasn't something that we Rams fans should be pining for based on his less than stellar performances. Similar to those he served up in the Lou. In other words,, words of encouragement for us Rams fans...

Bradford was such a great idea. He just has never rocked the league as expected. Such a drag, such a waste of money, standings and fan pride ,, for a long time.
Like the kid, , and wish him well, but I have never had much more than hope for Sam Bradford, and in the end, he disappointed me.

I have to agree that Aeneas and his perception of our former QB has merit. Look at his body of work, his consistencies,, or lack of.
Dude is in the perfect place for himself now, and to date he is floundering. I want for him to do well and perhaps he still will, but I'm very relieved that our team doesn't have to deal with that anymore.

Very well said.

to see it any other way is just blind homerism towards bradford imo... also, fwiw, according to pff the eagles' oline ranks 8th best in pass pro through week 2. re the rest of your post, spot on.

Yup, anyone who watched the game would say that Bradford was awful. The announcers were trying to be polite but even they were dumbfounded by the screens and check downs

Why someone has to LEAP to the conclusion that the first two games are definitive about anything seems VERY agenda driven to me and pot-stirring no doubt.

good grief, is this for real? it's ok for sam backers to LEAP to the conclusion that he'll flourish in chip's system, it's ok for sam backers to LEAP to the conclusion that his 2015 preseason play was proof positive that the eagles would roll with him under center, but when someone points out that sam's poor play has continued in philly, when the real games start, when he has to face pressure, when the bullets start to fly, there's some sort of "agenda" going on? really? moreover trying to slap lipstick on sam's horrendous cowboys outing. in front of the home crowd, well that's certainly more than telling, if ya want to point to "agenda". hey, you like sam, i get it, you think bad luck follows him around every year, regardless of where the road takes him, that he's an elite talent who hasn't been given a real chance because of, well you name it, but whether you like it or not he's shown little at the pro level, after 51 nfl starts, that suggests he's anything more than below average. thankfully the rams moved on, even if nick doesn't pan out.

Love.

I didn't read up enough before I posted my pic to see it was already there....but I enjoyed this thread just now. Love this rant. Love it.

I feel just massive relief and it has nothing to do with Foles.

Yeah, she helps keep me in good graces even when my posts aren't so warm and fuzzy.

Actually, I wouldn't. Joe Buck is awful. Aikman was trying to be objective and is actually one of the best. Buck started chastising Bradford the first time he threw to the flat. He was going to criticize him for throwing it short no matter what. No mention by Buck of the dropped passes and the running backs getting hit 5 yards behind the LOS but the second Bradford threw a screen he starts claiming Bradford just "doesn't" throw the ball downfield.

What's his screen name on the Rams boards? I can only assume that's why he started in on the subject.

Airman was all over Bradford. More so than Buck.
