Saw this earlier and it made me chuckle. As you know, I have been critical of Bradford about certain aspects of his game, but to say Fisher only kept him because of his salary is ludicrous. Irresponsible reporting in fact... even for that twat whistle.

NO YOU IDIOT
Because you know, Snead dedicating a whopping 0 seconds to looking at QB's wasn't hint enough.

They're not bothering with the draft QBs cause they're going to trade Sjax, Amendola, Long and Saffold to the Jets for Time Tebow - seriously, it's true, a man down the pub told me

Why the hell not? Does it hurt to have a #2 and/or #3 QB on the roster that you're developing? Nope. I really like the look of Austin Davis, the dude will still be pretty raw, but IF something were to happen to Bradford, he's got a livewire for an arm and could maybe step in. Hell, if he shows well in the pre-season, that's potential trade-bait. So it's good to have another young arm behind him.
If it works for teams like the Patriots, Eagles, Whiners and Broncos; why the hell couldn't the Rams give it a whirl. Nothing wrong with investing a later pick IMO.

I don't disagree with the notion of drafting a developmental QB at all. My issue was Snorio's claim that Bradford was only starting last year due to his salary....

I think they're going to have to at least investigate adding another arm to the team, but Snead already said it won't be in this draft because he didn't invest any time into evaluating any of them. I'm with you that every player should be challenged, and it's ALWAYS good to have a contingency plan in the event of injury. Hopefully Davis has a nice camp and continues to evolve. He looks the part and is pretty mobile with a good arm. Maybe he's the dude and we just don't know it. If we go into the season with just two QBs, that's gonna make me nervous. There are some nasty defenses in our division right now.Warner4Prez said:

i would only be upset if it is an attempt to replace bradford (which i know they wont), but would not be upset if as a backup

Florio isnt far off....the rams are married to bradford and that rediculous contract...I agree with that 100%. I think we can all agree that we arent getting adequate value from that deal just yet....but none of that is why Bradford played last year.
We're playing Bradford because he gives us the best opportunity to win. Contract or no contract, if Fisher doesnt think Bradford is our best option, then you can expect to see the next man up. I'm sure its really that simple in Fishers skull.

I didnt view the link but about a month or so on the radio they actually said the samething. They were saying they wouldnt be mad if the Rams picked one up in the 3rd or 4th round.... I disagree tho becuase we have other needs like playmakers. And that would be more of a luxary pick (i.e. Ryan Mallet and the Pats).
