The chance of taking a WR in the first 2 round is right around 0%. If not less.
Bradford and a rookie QB to be named later...

It was said that ad is having a better year as Sam did his 1st (rookie) year. And you have to move on or at least restructure Sams contract because he has been hurt all but 1 season since being a ram. And the last 2 have been season ending injuries that were early in the season. If you are a betting man what are the odds that Sam will be healthy for a whole season... would u put money on it?
It would be bad business to bring Sam back as the starter with the Sam contract. The Raiders wouldn't even do that

I would happily go into next season with Bradford (restructured contract obviously), Davis and Gilbert as our QBs.
We need to draft interior O lineman and get that fixed as well as adding some parts to the D and then do a proper assessment of the QB situation in advance of the 2016 season. I know its not particularly exciting and we're all tired of rebuilding but I don't want short term decisions made at the expense of long term sustainable success

People need to look at the situation from the perspective of Fisher and Snead. Year 4 will be a must win or be gone year. No excuses about injuries, being young, or the schedule will cut it. IMO that means they either roll the dice on Bradford again or go out and pay for a veteran type like Cutler. Back ups and rookies will not get it done at QB in 2015.
Bradford behind our current weak OL would be scary.

AD has much better receivers, and, even as bad as they have been this year, AD has a better OL.

Look, in my opinion, should restructure the contract of Bradford and keep AD as a backup. Solidify the offensive line in the first round of next year, and one Safety in the second round. Perhaps B. Jones play well this year and stay as our Center. I doubt Amari Cooper or Kevin White will be available for our picks in the second round. I believe that with Sam Bradford our WR's will play much better than this year.
SB8 is still my qb. I do not think there's anyone better than him in the next draft. Even if he is hurt, I still think he is better than the others (rookies in 2015).My hope is that he fully recover until the start of next season. If we solidify the OL, everything will be fine.
hugs and go rams!

Other than Quick, who is out for the season now, what WR has performed well this year?

If he's cut, he's going somewhere else. Could the Rams live with seeing another QB move onto Arizona and succeeding?

Why do you keep mentioning AZ? Palmer is playing well why would they be interested in Bradford right now? Buffalo or the Jets would be a better place for him........ I'm sure he's not going to want to sit for a year or two in Arizona waiting for Palmer to either finally break down and retire or just decline enough to be benched.

No way do they roll with Jones at guard unless it's absolutely necessary, he just won't be any good for our running game is my fear.
We'll get to see what Barnes can do at center, and hopefully he does impress. Not to say that spending a high draft pick on a guy like Dismukes won't or shouldn't happen. But just to say that I don't think that a rookie center will start for Fisher on day one. And if Barnes can't do it, I think they'll probably go with a veteran center, be that Wells or someone else.
But, I think we should also draft another tackle with our first, with an eye to backing up Saffold as a tackle/guard, and I think they'll bring in another veteran guard for insurance. This being a Fisher team, I really think one of the first two rounds will go to the defense and it won't necessarily be to a perceived need by us fans.
I am of course fine with them starting with Davis and Hill, though I really wouldn't be surprised if they stick with Bradford. 2016, to me is the year that they draft a quarterback with their first and then another guard with their second.
So much depends on how this season unfolds. How well does Barnes, Davis and Joseph play. They want a healthy, stable offensive line yesterday no matter how they get it.
Davis will still be here.

That's interesting, and I kind of think that's almost Kroenke's decision to roll the dice or not on Sam's current contract. As it is, I think they won't be on the hook for anything to Jake Long? I'm not a cap guru and I have no idea what they're up against or how offended Kroenke is at Sam's cost/benefit ratio.
The reason why I think they may stick with Bradford is that, in the coach and general manager's perspective, they really need to put together a winning season next year. And the crazy thing is that I have no idea how much they'll pay Sam because I actually suspect that there are and have been a lot of teams willing to roll the dice on Sam, just waiting for us to let him walk.

You're certainly entitled to your opinion but your consistent use of "Snapford" is completely unnecessary @StlRams99 .

We can never have enough linemen. Im hoping we sign one (fingers crossed on durability), and draft a couple in the secon AND third round. GRob and Barks are the only durable OL'men we have. I don't see how we can part with Sam.

I've always been a big fan of Bradford, but at this point, I think it would be best for both him and the Rams to part ways. Maybe a new, fresh start will help both. I see us drafting a QB with our first round pick, that will obviously be in the top 10 - and I see it being either Mariota or Winston.

Personally Im not opposed to having SB back even tho I question his intangibles between the ears. He is the best qb arm talent wise we have but he isn't durable. If it was my money (my business) I would try to restructure Him but it isn't solely our choice for him to return in that situation.. he would have to want to be here and accept a major pay cut to continue to work for my company. As a business owner you have to make that gamble and if he doesn't accept he must go... nothing personal it's busniess
Btw was it the Same doctor that repaired both SB and Jake longs knee? If so he should be sued for negligence and malpractice
