26 QBs in the NFL have a higher QBR than that.

Guess which teams have QBs that couldn't sniff that rating?

What's sadder?

KrapperDick is almost there.

Please don't say qbr..it's passer rating.

The magic number is 1. All we need is 1 serviceable QB. And we can't get that.

I'd happily take Krapperdick on this team if he had a cheap contract. So much better than our trash.

So you need a QB to consistently complete passes to win the game? Groundbreaking, a one dimensional team sucks and can't hack it in the NFL.

With a competent O line, coaching, and WRs that have both hands, all of our current QBs would have a rating over 80.

LOL. Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers would struggle big time in this mess.

I'd give up a second rounder and some to be able to move up and take Paxton Lynch. Shouldn't require much more than that.

LOL. Tom Brady won multiple Super Bowls with similarly built teams. Aaron Rodgers has led his team to 7-3 with a similarly built team. Hell, Sam Bradford looked fucking competent with less talented offenses. Our QBs are shit. Stop making excuses and accept it.

I disagree take a look at the mess in New England right now. Danny Amendola is the top WR right now and there oline is in disarray and had been for a few weeks. Brady is the best QB in the league right now despite the mess.

One example is there starting C last year just became active 2 weeks ago and ended up playing RT. Not sure Stork even played T in college never mind his first game back in almost a year

LOL. You really don't get it. Tom Brady was TRASH in the beginning of last season. Look up why. Rodgers similarly built team? LOL what a lie. That OL is miles better than this mess. Cobb is way better than any Rams WR. Bradford had Amendola, who was/is a great 3rd down receiver. And he did not had the least inexperienced OL in front of him.

Really? Only Amendola? Ever heard of Gronk? The best TE in the biz. Ever heard of Edelman? LaFell is also better than any Rams WR.
That's 4 options right there way better than anything the Rams have. Take those weapons away from Brady, see how he does. Or take a look at the first 4 games of Brady last season.

Mr. Trash threw 18 TDs to 2 Ints over the first 8 games last year.

Amendola was constantly injured.

Bradford had a shittier supporting cast in 2012 and was still able to be a competent starting QB. His opening day OL consisted of:
LT: Saffold
LG: Rob Turner
C: Scott Wells
RG: Harvey Dahl
RT: Barry Richardson

And, of course, Saffold and Wells both got hurt. Forcing us to play Quinn Ojinnaka, Shelley Smith, and Joe Barksdale (at LT).

Bradford's top WRs and TEs were Brandon Gibson, Chris Givens, Danny Amendola (who missed 5 games with injury and was ineffective in other games due to nagging injuries), and Lance Kendricks.

Instead of Todd Gurley, Bradford had a declining Steven Jackson.

Yet Bradford managed to look like a NFL QB. And nobody here would confuse him with Rodgers or Brady.

Our QBs are shit. Stop making excuses.

So an average QB would make this team undefeated? Incredible logic.
I don't think that's the contention. But it does follow logic to believe that even average QB play would have yielded us at least 3 more wins this year.

Is this post even serious??

Brady won SBs early on in his career with nobody on offense as well. Pass me what youre smoking.

I said WR, guess you missed that. Gronk is a beast no doubt. That is it. Let's be honest, Edelman is a converted QB who stepped in when Welker left. LaFell, check the numbers, he is not better than Austin and he is about on par with Britt. Point about Danny was he was a player we had that some were happy to see leave. The receiving Corp in NE is pretty average. Worse now that Edelman is hurt.

And again look at the oline situation there. If you don't then you don't understand the real issue.

Look at Brady's 4 games last season!? Weirdest thing someone has said to me on this board. Check the last 14 years lol

Mr Trash sucked after the first 4 games, when his OL was a mess like this one.

Many veterans on that OL. Certainly not the least experienced OL in the league, like this mess. Experience matters a lot for OLs.
