St. Louis reportedly hires Brian Schottnheimer

Recommended Posts

NFL.com's Mike Lombardi reports that the Rams have offered Brian Schottnheimer their offensive coordinator position, and Schottenheimer "will accept the position."

Ushered out in New York after failing to help Mark Sanchez develop, Schottenheimer will now be tasked with overseeing the progression of Sam Bradford. Once well respected in coaching circles, Schottenheimer's recent failures are disturbing in a decidedly what-you've-done-for-me-lately league. Bradford will enter his third different offensive system in three seasons, and Schottenheimer will start out in St. Louis with considerably less offensive talent than he ever had with the Jets.

I dunno if he has considerably less offensive talent than he had in NY...Bradford is 10 times the QB Sanchez is and that almost by itself gives the Rams the edge, but even aging and slowed by injuries Steven Jackson is also better than Tomlinson at this stage in his career and Green. His receivers are a little worse in St.L and so is his offensive line, but if I had to choose between Bradford and his weapons or Sanchez and his, I'd take Bradford.

Just wondering, am I still in the minority of people who think Bradford has already reached his full potential? I just hear people talk about him but he really isn't anything to write home about.

Hard for anyone to tell honestly. Had a very promising rookie season and a very forgettable season this year thanks to a rash of injuries that left 10 or more people on IR for them this year. Not enough body of work to make an assumption on him but it's hard for me to believe that a QB's rookie season is his full potential.

...Bradford is 10 times the QB Sanchez .

What is that based on? Stats, wins, playoff appearances, 4th qtr comebacks, game winning drives? Personally I like Bradford and have a certain disdain for Sanchez but if anything, Sanchez has proven he is 10x the QB Bradford is so far although at the end of their careers it could be the total opposite.

    • Didn't know where to post this but it is panthers relevant since eventually we'll have a couple wr in Coker and tmac that will get paid. Jaxon Smith-njigba just signed a 4 year $168.6 million contract extension that now makes him the highest paid wr in nfl history. For now
    • Would be happy with Lomu or Iheanachor at 19. Fano is intriguing but I don't think he makes it.
    • II see it this way: We have to look at long-term needs and current depth.  We have filled some key spots with players on one-year contracts.  I firmly believe that they intend to pay Bryce some big bucks next year.  That means you cannot hope that your rookies in 2027 can fill the spots vacated by the veterans you could not afford to re-sign.   We need to consider the cap and the fact that the need to start a rookie is not viewed as a positive by coaches and general managers, but they value first contracts--so it is a delicate balance. I think they have to look at the cap by position--"Can we afford a $50m QB and a $100m OL?  That is half the cap, before you pay your WRs and RBs and TEs.  They need to start getting younger on the OL as well.   I am not suggesting that we draft OT in round 1, but we could and I would get it.  RT on a 1-year deal, they may have intel about Ickey (who was not the best LT, to be honest) and 32-year old Moton is on a bad wheel.   Now if you go by Morgan's history, you can almost tell what position we are going to address with the first pick by noting the positions he has not focused on in free agency.  DT, considering the lack of performance by those not named Derrick Brown and the loss of Robinson, is screaming to be addressed with a top player.  Wharton is not an early down DT (DE if you want to get technical) and our LBs need to be clean--they were not in 2025.  Look for a DT early. I also think we will address ILB (pass covering Will) on day 2.  The other day 2 pick will be an OT, in my view. Do not rule out CB.  We are thin there too, and Jackson is in his final year.  I am not sure that we love Smith-Wade.  Some crackhead on here talked about moving him to S----stay tuned.   Hopefully, a team wanting Ty Simpson will move up and offer us a pick or two to move back. DT WILB OT OC QB  (you heard it here 337th--but this pick could come sooner than you think.
