I don't hate, but what the hell is this record worth? Ask him and I'll bet anything he would tell you he'd rather be playing in the playoffs versus breaking a record that means absolutely nothing. Plain and simple it's a meaningless record. When he retires someday he can say he holds the all-time percentage completion record. What is that worth compared to super bowl wins?

What's been impressive th last two seasons has been that he's actually been one of the most accurate QBs under pressure. What he's done in Minnesota with that O line, with three co-ordinaries in one season after being traded 8 days before the season is mighty impressive. Teams haven't figured out his effectiveness against the blitz yet - they're still blitzing him and he carves them up with a QB rating of 100+ (154.7 today) against the blitz. I always was a fan and thought he was under appreciated because he didn't have any talent around him. I understood them moving on when they did because they couldn't trust his health, but it looks like a mistake now.

no training camp, no running game, oline injuries and the oc quit mid season. Any other qb would get a free pass for dealing with all that. And here Bradford comes in and has a darned good season.

And you see fans and media alike crapping on the guy. It's mind boggling. He isn't the MVP, but he deserves a lot of praise. He's played well.

Maybe it's me, but I just don't really care what happens with Sam. Decent year but like most with him, it's kind of whatever. I was rooting for him early because the Vikings were a great story but such as the case, it ended with a big average season. Kind of falls in place with his career.

For me this shows the power of group-think in the media. There is a perception that he is a "bust", or at least overpaid and below average. That's been because of his sub-par performances in 2011,2012 and then two years injured in a row after a good 2013 until week 8. At that point the media has its "line" on the guy. If anyone comes out against that they're going to be the odd one out, so they don't - looking instead for evidence to confirm their view. This leads them to overlook things. As a result the image of his ability of a quarterback isn't accurate, which of course in turn leads to surprise when teams give up a first round pick for him.

I hate group think and the media in any forum is the worst at it. Sam had a good year. Had a Ram QB put up those numbers we would be happy.

Sam deserves a lot of credit for his accomplishment. He got traded at the last minute, had very little time to learn the offense, and almost as soon as he got there players around him started dropping like flies in a Raid factory.
Really wonder what would happen if he actually got to play in good circumstances for once in his career.

He finally got receivers that can catch now in MN, but the Oline he's behind is horrible, as always for him. This guy can't seem to catch a break, besides financially!

The word "hate" gets thrown around way too much on the internet, along with the words "beast" and "genius."
The words "hate" and "hater" really irk me the most because they imply that a person with a different opinion is hateful and therefore their opinion is not worth considering. It's a way to shut down conversation. Let's not do that here.
As far as Sammy B. is concerned; good for him for having one of the best seasons he's ever had and most of all for staying upright until the end of the season. But when he was traded away I celebrated. All the injuries he suffered and all the cap money he sucked up were not his fault. But it was time for the Rams to part company with him, especially after he refused to sign a team friendly deal.
It was best for our team and best for him. He never would have survived with the putrid O-line we had. I see him as one of the worst draft mistakes the Rams ever made but I wish him no ill will. See, no hate, merely my own opinion to which myself and every other ROD member is entitled.

If the NFL was a flag football league he'd be the greatest ever, or at least top ten. Scam Bustford can suck it. Tired of seeing his whiny @$$ clutterin up my NFL feed.
I hope the Vikes sign him to a big, long term deal so he can go back to his broken ways and crush their dreams.

Sam has made 2 huge mistakes in his career. First is not coming out after his redshirt sophomore year. He could have been teamed up with Megatron had that been the case. The second is not opting out for free agency in the offseason. He could have went to Houston or Denver and been much better off, and both teams would be much better off. Sam has yet to have a good team situation in his career. It has to be frustrating for the guy.

ED's rookie rushing record didn't result in a SB win either did it? It also doesn't mean it wasn't something great either. It probably means a lot to him as well as a great many Rams fans and is something to be celebrated.
Great individual seasons and accomplishments aren't diminished if they don't result in Super Bowls. That is a team accomplishment. Take Aaron Donald. Great seasons for this monster, but he has had no offense to help him on the other side -- which has ZERO control over -- also something to be celebrated.
