And sticking with a player whose greatest ability is unavailability is an even greater disaster because there's a track record. Fool them once, shame on you. Fool them three times, shame on the Rams.
That's true, but there's always teams like that. Hell the Skins are doing it right now, they're relying on RGMe to be healthy and not be a locker room cancer at the same time. I think they'd take a shot on him and his ability rather than stay with their own oft injured cancer.
I doubt if we do pick a QB we would, Snead and Fisher are infinitely superior to Whaley and Marrone. For one, Snead isn't forwarding dirty links to the entire NFL..
I don't want the Rams to force a QB that isn't worth the pick, either. I'm not putting my eggs in Bradford's basket on his current contract, though, and I REALLY don't see why he'd ever agree to restructure.
Bradford only has 1 year remaining on his contract, so by 'restructure', i'm assuming you mean 'extend' ? By extending his contract the Rams could reduce Bradford's 2015 CAP hit, but there remains the injury risk going forward.
Wait, what?
I feel the same way, it's very obvious RG3 has worn out his welcome in Washington, and the feeling is mutual. Nobody likes him there and he doesn't like anybody there. Question just becomes who do they trade him for and what do they get for him. I doubt they trade QB for QB, since no team with a QB is gonna trade for him. That means they'll have to give to a desperate team, which means they'll be out of a QB with Cousins being exposed and all, but will they even have enough? I doubt they'll take RG3 up front, so they'll have to throw in incentive, will they have the picks or players necessary to get a QB out of anybody or even be able to draft one in this weak class?
The dead money is there no matter what. I got it. What I was saying is that if the Rams trade him, the team that gets him is now on the hook for a 13mill salary AND 13 mill cap hit. So they would have to extend/restructure whatever to alleviate taking that hit themself?
I simply think that Bradford, in spite of injury, has more talent than anyone available by way of draft or trade. His salary has already been accounted for so even if we can't work out an incentive based extension, IMO he is still the best option.What good is someone who's injured with a huge cap salary?
Honestly I'm not having a go at you here, but I simply can't understand how you wouldn't pull the trigger on first round trade for a QB who's proven he can't stay healthy?
Each to their own I guess
He's done it twice under historically bad circumstances.
If you want to play it that way, how many NFL seasons has any of the upcoming draft picks completed? I merely answered your question.
