According to Nick Waggoner of ESPN, the odds of the Rams drafting a quarterback with the second overall pick are "about as close as possible to zero."

That echoes what St. Louis general manager Les Snead told Jim Thomas of The St. Louis Post-Dispatch. “As we’ve said, Sam’s our starting QB, and maybe that’s too way out of the box to take a QB that high.”

That's been the team's stance since Bradford tore his ACL last October. In fact, the Rams made a point of quelling any uncertainty about Bradford's future with the team very quickly after he went down:

"He'll be back and he's our quarterback." - Fisher on Sam Bradford

— St. Louis Rams (@STLouisRams) October 21, 2013

What's uncertain, to be brutally honest, is why.

I hate that site! Some a-hole from there used to post on another board and I told him that site is garbage! Doesn't load well, all kinds of pop ups, etc. I won't even attempt it because its a waste of my time to begin with.

Seriously, I wish someone would keep track of each one of these assholes who write that Sam is/should be cut because I would personally email them to tell them what a buffoon they are when Sam is under center Game 1 next season and for the next 12 seasons to follow.

Meh. It's an opinion. One shared by a few if you go by the poll results.
Others see it a different way, and that's fine too.

What isn't fine is using my video in the story and not giving credit.
And that's why I put an annotation on it that they'll find most unflattering.

Nicely done.

Had to be done. I didn't spend 10+ hours piecing that thing together so that some hippie could use it in an article to slam the guy.

Love the annotation you added to the video X! :rofl: I just don't get why linking your video makes any sense in his article. He's trying to make a case AGAINST Sam, yet he's linking a video that SUPPORTS Sam.

On another note, if you have time to make another Ram video in the foreseeable future, you should make one of all the drops Sam had between 2012 & 2013. Or maybe another 15+ yard throw video

On top of it all the guy didn't even mention his best WR by far in those first four years was Danny Ammendola. Rams just got Sam some legit weapons. The injury was very unfortunate but he'll be ready. Sick of the man love for Manziel. I don't think he's that great.

I was going to do just that, but Google/YouTube/NFL are freaking snipers now when it comes to copyrighted materials. I'd likely spend several days putting that together, just to see it get deleted 2 seconds after I uploaded it. The risk/reward just isn't there.

If he has a crappy year they won't keep him. They can't keep him unless he blossoms and plays better. So he has NO guarantees of being on this roster if he is one of the guys holding the team back.

There is no effing way Fisher is going to stick with a QB if he feels he cannot win with him. No. Effing. Way.

And I don't understand that because there is copywriter music ALL OVER the web. Are the NFL guys just better at searching the web or what.

I dont think the NFL is searching much of anything. When YouTube takes down a video in a matter of minutes, it has something to do with what is IN the video. Some broadcasts have the little NFL logo in their video that YouTube is picking up on.

Makes sense that they could sniff something in the code.

There is no question that they have a department dedicated to taking down videos. When videos are taken down in minutes, thats because of cooperation with YouTube.
