Richardson was a nice find, no doubt. Pead struggled in the preseason, but as time went on, he seemed to wait for the hole to develop. In the last game vs Seattle, he did alright.
Watkins, who had a problem coming into the preseason, was injured Week 1 vs Detroit and placed on IR.

3. What else?
Overall it seems that some of the pre draft concerns have been justified. It's also clear that he's played behind a bad line with limited weapons to throw to. If I'm a Rams fan, I would have expected better but certainly wouldn't be ready to flush.

1. He was sacked for 30 consecutive games, the longest streak in the NFL, until the last 2 weeks when they didn't allow any sacks.
2. For the last time, Bradford hasn't really had any injury issues. He played all of the games(and snaps) in 2010 as well as playing in all of the games in 2012. 2011, he suffered a high ankle sprain, which was made worse due to Spags thinking he was on the hot seat, thus rushing Bradford back into play behind a roster that went from one of the youngest in the NFL to one of the oldest due to one offseason of signing a shit load of guys to 1 year deals.
Yes, while some people expect more from Bradford, there are many more who realize he's done fine considering the situation that surrounds him. Fisher even said that Bradford's struggles are from the talent that surrounds him, not him.
