Why would he do that? He can stay out and make $8m. Leave after the season.

Re: Don't want to start a riot..BUT
The timing would just be awful as well. Imagine the headlines just after one of Bradford's worst games as a Ram...
It would be all...Bradford officially bust - Rams give up on Bradford etc.

Re: Don't want to start a riot..BUT
Yeah, it was meant to be offensive while not totally crossing the line. Glad you got that.
It's nothing personal though. I just don't think Freeman is the answer. Nor to I view it as plausible. Plus we already have our hands full with a QB that we are trying to prop up so we don't have to go and draft another one. Freeman would just move us away from building anything resembling a coherent football team... of which we are no where near at this point...

Re: Don't want to start a riot..BUT
I can see it happening. Rams have nothing behind Bradford. If they can restructure his contract, and have the Bucs pick up a lot of the cash, they could get him for a 7th rounder. The Bucs are just gonna cut him anyway. Fisher may be a good fit for Freeman. Heck, Fisher won 13 games with VInce Young and Kerry Collins in 2008.

Re: Don't want to start a riot..BUT
I guess I'll offer my two cents since this is all we've got as Rams fans once again. No, Freeman would not be worth looking at. IMO, getting Freeman means giving up on Bradford and I don't want to re-shift the Rams problems at QB to Freeman. Both QB's are in dire straits right now but Sam is everything you'd want in a QB where Freeman's problem lay.
Sam is a student of the game, hard-working, punctual, protects the ball and on and on. His glaring weakness has been aggressiveness and I think that can be taught. Not the instinct itself but I think if Sam is given permission to take chances then he will do so.
Honestly, it seems that Bradford is too much of a good soldier. It's a good quality to a point but I think he needs to start challenging authority or something.

Re: Don't want to start a riot..BUT
I loved Freeman when he was coming out and wanted the Rams to draft him and I still say no.
I dont buy the nonsense (in my opinion) with another QB coming shaking the starters confidence ect. They are grown adults and professionals. If their confidence is that shaky they arent going to cut it anyway. A coach should be able to switch QBs every game if he wanted and not have fragile egos come into the fray.
That said, I wouldnt want to bring in a guy who is a head/attitude case. Clearly some issues with this guy. It makes a lot more sense to me to draft a guy a groom him....hopefully with an OC who knows what he is doing.
Besides, Im sure Freeman wants to get traded somewhere to be a starter. Unless someone gets injured I dont thing he moves until the off season.

Re: Don't want to start a riot..BUT
It shouldn't take bringing in another QB to get Bradford to be more aggressive with the ball. It isn't like he can't read a defense or that he isn't seeing the field, he just doesn't take risks. Just give him permission and that should be enough.
It shouldn't affect them but it always does. From Waterfield/Brocklin to Meredith/Staubach to Warner/Bulger to now. If you've got two QB's, you've got no QB's.fearsomefour said:

Oh I know it can affect them and usually does. But, this is where you get into the spoiled athlete mentality.
