Same could be said for Farve. Considered an all-time great. Most of his comebacks where because of him.
Yup. I was thinking the same thing. Luck looks a lot like Favre. He's more of a gunslinger than I thought he would be.

They were weened off the teat too early would be my guess.
Or not soon enough.
I know the pitfalls of going down this path of hypotheticals but in addition to what you're saying, he had 3 TD's taken away by penalty or drop too. 17 TD/0 INT to start the season would have been pretty sweet if only things had bounced differently. And that was with the bad games against SF and DAL. If the Rams had started the year with Stacy and gone with what actually worked from the beginning, this season would have gone a lot differently. I don't know if there's any way they could have made that choice any earlier but I blame part of the delay in how they approached preseason. It would have been nice if they'd tried some of the actual game plays to see if they were going to be effective.I blame Bradford for a grand total of 0 interceptions this year. If recievers could catch or at least bat the ball down instead of up, he has 1 in 7 games. If Stacy (I think?) Blocks and Sam isn't hit while he throws he has 0.
14 TD's to 0 picks (due to poor decisions) in 7 games. That is called elite ball security.
This phenomenon is biological. Really, it is.You should understand, though, that at some point a great majority of Sam Antagonists are only interested in being right about him. Objectivity isn't a factor in those discussions, and they HAVE TO take up positions that are in direct conflict with what they believe ... simply because being right about Sam is the prime objective, and not what Sam will or will not amount to. It's a strange phenomenon.
Luck helped his team get in the playoffs in his 2nd year. I think I'd be pretty happy about that if I were a Colts fan.

Regardless of how the hypothetical numbers could have played out, Bradford was off to a really good start and that was while the team and coaches hadn't figured things out yet. We'd all hoped 2013 would be when it all came together and that Bradford finally being in a system for more than 1 year would pay the dividends overall. Well, I think they paid in terms of Bradford as he was playing at a new level. Maybe not elite but all those little things that so many had questions about were improved. Pocket awareness, deep ball, looking off defenders, whatever. Bradford looked much more polished this year.I'll say right now...that I think this thread isn't going to lead anywhere productive.
To be fair, I think he should be charged with 2. He had at least 1 dropped int against SF and I'll give him some blame for the Arizona INT.
Productive how? Like we'd solve world hunger with our astute observation skills? lol.I'll say right now...that I think this thread isn't going to lead anywhere productive.

I think 2 sounds about right as well. And you can absolutely add a couple of TDs to his total were it not for the drops and penalties. But I suppose that's the case with all QBs in the league during the course of the season. Add here, subtract there. The bottom line is, we finished right where we finished last year, and there was a LOT more adversity this year. That hump is hard to get over, but once you do....

My only concern with Sam is durability.
He doesn't have the escapability of Luck or Brees, so he needs a better oline than those two. But, he can make all the throws and capable of mastering this offense.
Productive in the sense that I feel it's a matter of time before someone takes the "it's Andrew Luck...Bradford can't be compared to him stance". Luckily, this board is so much better than the vast majority of Rams boards or else we'd have already seen it pop up.
I have concerns about your decision making too.I have concerns about accuracy and decision making not durability so much.
Bob needs to keep a better eye on things. Some of these posters are getting a little outta hand. Freakin' bully.I have concerns about your decision making too.
Which, subsequently, could affect your durability when I'm done with ya.
*See I can say that now that I'm not an admin.
I think.
