No doubt you have some good points there but your overall point about Kapernoodle is what keeps the gambling casinos solvent. The odds don't favor a running QB lasting very long. The Whiners are carying Kapernoodle and not the other way around IMO. They did just as well with Alex Smith didn't they?
We get that you don't like SB but you're excessively negative about him IMO. You completely ignore anything good he does and concentrate on what you perceive to be this negatives. He's our QB and will be for the foreseeable future. Constant complaining won't change that. Try and find some positive things to say about our other players and you might enjoy being a Rams fan a little more.
Keep those positive vibes coming. Even if you have to make them up.
No, I just don't see a good ROI on SB and think that's a position that needs to be upgraded. It's nothing personal. I don't hate Bradford and I have plenty of positive things to say about our players, but when the Rams miss the playoffs going on 10 years now, it's time to focus on what needs fixing.
We're paying SB Peyton Manning money yet you would be hard to find any NFL pundit that thinks he will ever become a top-tier QB and will be anything more than an average QB. IDK how much more we have to see until it becomes obvious.
I've been pretty harsh on Rodney McLeod as well as he's a liability at Safety, especially in the passing game and I have stated that Safety is a need either in the Draft or in FA. The guy makes me miss Craig Dahl in pass coverage. But we're not paying him Peyton Manning/Tom Brady money so I don't get on him as much. But FS needs to be addressed.
I think JL is a good MLB, but not great and is not worth the money he makes, but he's productive and plays hard, but overpaid.
Chris Long is making a lot of money, but had an off-season due to a hip injury but had 24.5 sacks combined the previous two seasons.
Next year will also be a telling season for him as well.
I don't think OL is as bad as people think if Jake Long can come back in a timely manner from his knee injury, Saffold is re-signed and Barrett Jones is ready to go after recovering from the Lisfranc injury. Maybe a OL in FA and/or the mid-rounds for depth.
But paying 17.6 Million next year for a QB with a career passer rating of 79.3 that is also injury prone is the main weakness of this team.
Like I said, the return on our investment has been terrible and I don't see it getting better. Not bashing Bradford, just my take on the main weakness of the team. We can get similar play from a FA or a draftee QB for far less money and have a LOT of money for FA's to address other needs on the team.
