I'd say Palmer, Wilson, and Krapondick will take the sack more than Bradford, so you can say Bradford wins based on that ;)
Good shout.
Just think, 2 years ago you would have been labelled a lunatic if you said that we were probably the best team in the division in the trenches. Now I think it's very likely that it will be the case this year!

I guess I'm in the minority here, but I kinda hope Bradford has an average year in terms of stats, at least volume stats.

I think if he has more games where he goes for 220 yards and a touchdown or two that'll be a whole lot better for this team than 300+ and 3 TDs. That second type game has usually been more indicative of the Rams being in a hole and having to throw out of it.

I'd rather that first one while the Rams milk a score or two lead running the ball, and letting the other team try to pile up passing stats against that pass rush (good luck!).

I don't care if every internet rag and hater on the forums say, "Bradford's just along for the ride" if the Rams go to the playoffs, let them talk. I can see this team winning this way.

Your not in the minority. I'm pretty sure any of us would rather Bradford have the lower stat line if it means the team is getting the win. That's what the game is about. If I have to choose between 100 yards and no TDs, but the team wins and 350 yards and 5 TDs but the team loses, I'm taking whatever stat line has the Rams winning. Period....

Winning is all that matters. Just as long as Bradfords TD/INT ratio is good, then I'm happy.

The Niners may still have the best line because of Staley and Iupati, since Long is recovering and Robinson is still fresh meat. Then again, Staley has to block Quinn so it evens out.

I'd say they(whiners) probably do have the best O-line, but I was taking the D-line into account too. With them losing A Smith, and our improvement(!!) in that area, I think we have the best combination of O-line and D-line in the division.

Agreed. Though if our o-line can stay healthy I dont trade it for any other in the league. We could potentially have the best guard combo in the league. And Long and Barksdale at book ends is very nice. Wells is pro bowl caliber at center when he can stay on the field. I love the lines we have, health permitting.

I have to see the line execute on the field before I can get all on board that it will excel. I agree there is talent, but at this point it has not been proven. I sure hope we are all talking about dominant our line was come January.

I see no reason for Bradford not to thrive this season. Good things are coming.

I agree in that the pieces are all there, so there is reason for optimism.

There is also reason for fear, uncertainty and doubt (we call it FUD). I am anxious to see this play out on the field. Too many years of disappointment to just buy in.

My ratings for this year for QB play overall:

1. Wilson
2. Kaepernick
3. Bradford
4. Palmer

The Rams do not need the best overall QB to make the playoffs if they are committed to defense and the running game. As far as the prediction I read for 40 TD passes by Sam this year - I will be happy with 10 if we win.

Agree on everything but your ranking.

Agreed, JackD.

I wouldn't now trade either our OL or DL for any in the league. Not one...

And both are only gonna get better with such superb coaching.

Hot damn!
