Does Sam Bradford get a career pass by the media?

<p>Here's a guy who was selected No.1 overall and signed a contract bigger than Tom Brady's before he even threw a pass. Had a decent rookie year, and has been below-average ever since. Rams traded Number 2 overall pick, where they were in position to take RG3 instead they trade down to build around Sam. RG3 is having one of the most remarkable rookie seasons ever, and Bradford continues his terrible play. Rams have invested money, draft picks and coaches into Bradford and he still has yet to show he can be "The next Tom Brady". This is why some of us fans question the media's motives when dragging Cam's name in the mud.

Cam has a below-average half a season and gets absolutely thrashed, hell, some thought we should consider trading him during the offseason.

If that isn't sensationalized reporting, I don't know what is.

Actually Bradford is one of the few brightspos of the Rams offense.

His offensive line is terrible and he just now has an emerging #1 WR.

The Rams have been a bad team for over a decade. They need more than just a QB. RGIII would not be doing what he is now in St.Louis. Cam would not be doing what he is now in St.Louis. Not a lot of rookie/2nd year QBs could succeed in St. Louis.

As if our line wasn't terrible at the beginning at the season, that is the MAIN reason why Cam struggled. I didn't hear that from the media though, it was "Cam needs to mature".

Trust me, our o-line would be an upgrade from St. Louis'.

Take into account they had no offensive weapons outside of Jackson.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying there's not a double standard for Cam, but Bradford isn't at all a bust.

Bradfords stats aren't that bad, best QB rating of his career at 81.5

Bradford, Stafford and company also didn't set themselves up to be a Media Pinata by stealing a Laptop at FL, getting run off to Junior College then going to Auburn after his Dad auctioned off his services.

    • I truly do not understand why we rushed him back last season, we were a bad team with an already productive back in Chuba. Brooks looked like he was 60% back and clearly hadn’t regained full movement in his knee and confidence, no surprise he got reinjured. Shame on this training staff, look no further then Chuba returning too soon this season, I don’t care how bad a player wants to come back a training staff is there to protect them. Brooks is a great person and was an amazing player prior to both injuries, I hope he’s recovering well.
    • Brother thanks for sharing and all. Just for a 21 year army guy you sure over used your brain power on this interaction little too much...  Not that's Im taking a side or nothing, Ive never been a bully fan * in extreme deals bullying in needed..... I've heard from smart people in and around Panthers, Smitty needed Angie for guidance BADLY.  I've honestly thought if Smitty was born 20 years later, he should have taken a MMA path and not only would he have been a champion but a humbled good man with or without Angie helping him. He has never took off the enmoureous chip on his shoulder and it has branched off as a stick in arse over time too. Still everyone can not be or act the same with emotions, we are chemical sacks of water and bones. He reminds me of brain-washed individuals that can not turn off the switch. Plus he is high on thinking he's smarting than he is.......its a dangerous combo, but that's mainly what gave him the edge in life to live out the American dream......soooo I dare say change, but its sad at the same time. All those poor women that get involved with narcissistic disloyal men, one of the few times I agree to take what ever form them in court...
    • Completely agreed.  TBH, we have had so many great players that are in my favorite list, and I hate to narrow it down to one, but Cam is it.  Which is crazy, because you would think it would be more of the guys I grew up watching, but no.  Cam was the single most impactful player to ever out on a football uniform imo.  And like I said in an earlier post, I always felt a kinship with him in a lot of ways…  the way he was treated and judged for the off the field stuff in Florida and having to overcome all of that and fight show at back.  And although I am not a black man, I have always been welcomed by and accepted more by minorities, and thus, I know what it’s like to be judged by appearances rather than the content of your character and who you actually are.  I know what it’s like to be stereotyped and written off or mistreated for your mistakes.  I know what it’s like to be held to a different standard while your peers don’t have to meet that same standard.  So I always related to that.  And the way he came in and just electrified the whole franchise, man…  I still think about it often how much it sucks that because of how talented he was, our staff out so much on him and that ultimately cut his career short.  You’re right, there will never be another Cam…  I think Josh Allen is the closest thing we will see for a long time, but Allen is not the running threat Cam was.  Cam could run you over or around you.  That was THE absolute funnest time to watch our team ever.
