What about St. Louisians? Is this the word from the land of the arch?

"Experts" talk about QB's going one two about every year, and it NEVER happens. This year wont be an exception, especially when the Rams had such a hard on for Jake Long last year and already have a huge contract at the QB position.

Actually, there's a lot of talk of taking Stafford, and sitting him for a year until Bulger's cap hit is more manageable. They could get away with it, since Stafford is still really young. (Turns 21 in 3 weeks)

Realistically, they should take Oher or Smith and either cut or trade Pace. He's really declined as of late, and can't stay healthy.

Those same outlets all said that Brian Brohm would be a high pick as well.

My guess is that Bradford didn't get the response he thought he'd get from the advisory council/scouts.

They were saying that it may have been Bradford not wanting to play in Detroit.

Well let's pray for Sanchez to come out, if he doesn't, we are in a bad spot IMO

RustShack 01-14-2009 02:45 PM

Bradford = media hype from high numbers behind great line in spread offense

Demonpenz 01-14-2009 02:45 PM

Lions are going to suck shit again next year, bradford better play shitty either on purpose or just because if he doesn't want to play for the lions

Fans hate Marc Bulger; they hate Alex Barron more. They also recognize that the ink on Bulger's contract just dried and they'd be in cap hell if they cut bait on him already. 590 in STL seems to think they'll take Andre Smith, but with no HC on board, it's next to impossible to say.

Fan sentiment seems to be in favor of going after a LT to shift Pace over to RT (and Barron to guard, if not the street) is the way to go. I can't say that I disagree with them. There's no way Bulger just forgot how to play the position. He's still a very accurate QB with a good 3-5 years left in him. I expect them to go Oline as well.

I still wish Bradford would've come out as it would shift everyone down one more slot, even if we don't take him in the 1st, maybe his selection later would shake someone loose for our 2nd rounder (Mack? I still don't see how he makes it to us currently).

Not buying that.

He could always make Elway/Manning-like demands, and still get paid.

Plus, there's absolutely no guarantee that Detroit would have taken him. If that's his line of thinking, the I understand EXACTLY why scouts may not have liked him.

That pretty much sums it up.

Do you live here?

That's what I'm thinking, too.

I know Bulger is getting a ton of $, but high-quality organizations are going to look long term, and I can't see many organizations pass on a legit QBOTF, unless they have one (and a young one at that) on the roster.

Let's hope, however, the Rams' OL need somehow trumps all.

I doubt that is the reason. Who wouldn't want to throw the ball to Calvin Johnson?

This is a good take.
