Ever think Bradfords agent is watching the games thinking " You know if the Rams don't draft in the top five I can get Sam a raise cause they have nothing".
You tacked that on at the end of your post almost seemingly as a bit of an afterthought. But I have little doubt that's exactly what SB8's agent is thinking.
But then I also think it's highly probably that Austin Davis got his shot.... (1) because his play the first couple games warranted it, but also (2) because the Rams' braintrust got together and thought...."What
IF this kid Davis actually is a gamer. What
IF he does develop into a decent starting QB. What
IF we've caught lightning in a bottle here. And
IF that happens, just think how much leverage that gives us in future contract talks with SB8.'
And
IF that had transpired, it actually would have given the Rams a lot of leverage. Even if AD just had not seemed to regress the last couple games, he'd probably still be starting.
And if the Rams lose the next couple games and get to a record of 3/8, I wouldn't be opposed to seeing him reinserted as the starter. It
might just be that he's a little rattled right now, but a couple weeks off might do him some good...re-gather himself to the point that the next opportunity he's mentally relaxed enough that he can actually progress as a QB.
I know that's a lot of big IF's, but what if.....
