Bradford is done for the season.

One of this issues with this is that I think the team is good enough without him to win a fair number of games pushing us down in the draft next year. WE might end up having to pull an RG3 style trade to get one of the top QB's....

 

[TheDYVKX]

On the bright side, Zac Stacy is getting 400 carries this year so draft him in fantasy.

 

[Joeluke9]

Sam is an awesome qb and an even better person, but for whatever reason he has some terrible luck. I really wish we could've taken a qb in round 3 or 4 now but hindsight is 20/20.

 

[BonifayRam]

$3.5M of that has already been paid, and none of it is guaranteed. I think.
@flv knows more about this stuff than I do though. So I'll see what he thinks.

This is curious too. If you adjust the drop down menu at the top-right of the table.

Cap savings of over 14 million if released right?

Well, according to Theismann on the Washington TV broadcast, they should unload RG3 and play Cousins in DC...how funny would it be if the Rams ended up trading for RG3? Send Hill to Washington and throw in a 4th rounder. Then Cousins starts in DC, RG3 starts in STL and our back ups are Davis and Gilbert...

Plenty of good QBs in this draft. Not all of them will be gone in the top 5. Bryce Petty, Marcus Mariota, Jameis, Braxton Miller (who's going to drop with his injury).

 

[fearsomefour]

Sanchez??!!!?
:eek:

Yeah, I wouldnt trade any picks for a vet QB that a team would deal.
A young guy like McGloin maybe because he would come cheap.

:shooting:My spirit..... The Rams break my heart again.....I'm just sick..... This was supposed to be our year this shit is gonna give me high blood pressure and put me on anti depressants

 

[Shuie3225]

This feels like a bad dream...

 

[rhinobean]

As bad as everyone feels right now, I'm betting you're feeling it worst considering how loudly you banged the drum for Bridgewater. This regime is on the hot seat now all things considered. They have to win somehow or they are just as guilty as the previous regime for not addressing the QB situation differently(better?).

Can't blame Fish & CO for the injury! I wouldn't have thought they'd draft a qb to replace Sam! Gilbert's a developmentel backup! I believed Sammy B was the Rams qb for years to come and now don't think he'll ever be a starting qb with this new acl tear! Damn!!!!!!!!

Sanchez??!!!?
:eek:

Most people seem to hate the idea of Sanchez but I wonder if that's because of reputation or having actually watched him play and considered his circumstances? The guy has played some really good ball at times and even if his ceiling has been realized, he's put up 30 TD's in a season. I guess we'd all like to have Peyton Manning or Drew Brees, but a 30 TD QB isn't such a bad level of production.

I dunno. There would be an injury settlement involved, and I don't know how that factors into the cap.
I'm not suggesting they cut him, or even wondering what would happen if they did. Just thought it was interesting.
I also don't think Fisher, Demoff and Snead are thinking way right now either.

 

[Damien]

With the team built, I would be fine with a Was/Stl style overpay for a top qb next year.

 

[PeteMD]

I cant believe it....
So I hope, that Shaun Hill will play solid/mistake-free football. With a strong running game and aggressive defense we still should be able to win games this year.

 

[A55VA6]

$16.85 million cap number for 2015 and will be due $12.985 million in cash. Team will have a decision to make.

 

[RamsJunkie]

And for Fuck sakes were talking about the draft before the 4th preseason gamealm:

 

[jrry32]

I don't even know what to say. All I can do is just hope that the media is wrong. And there's a 0.00000000000000000000000000000000000001% chance of that happening.

This is just such bull. Why does it have to happen to us? What did we do to deserve this?

With me, it's because I've watched him play and IMHO he's just a poor QB.
Not horrible, just a poor QB.

 

[Legatron4]

I realize it's just a game, but the Rams are my life man. My fandom took a hit with this. I feel sick.

I'm not really blaming them. I supported their decision. But the bottom line is they chose that path and it's blown up in their faces. I agree that blame isn't the right way to look at it but they are responsible. There were alternatives and we're all now facing the worst case scenario. No one would have blamed them if they'd chosen to get "their guy" at QB. That's what new regimes do. Now their hand is forced and all leverage is gone for now and in the near future. It sucks, but it's reality.
