J-RoC770 Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Rumors had the Rams targeting Harvey Dahl, Jason Snelling, Brian Finneran, and now yes Jerious Norwood. It seems like they want to surround Bradford with the same players Matt Ryan started out with. Also Noel Devine is a failure, after rejecting the falcons and said we practically begged for him, he got cut. Free agent RB Noel Devine reportedly "walked out" on the Eagles.Devine was waived on Saturday, but apparently "left the squad on his own." If true, it would raise an immediate red flag for any potential future suitors. The deck is already stacked against the under-sized (5-foot-8, 170 pounds) back, so it would be a shame if he gave teams another serious reason to overlook him.What a Frigging DiVA!!

vel Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 He was stupid for going there in the first place. He was going to get little PT behind McCoy, Lewis, and Vick running the ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyHighFalcons Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 What a stupid thread. One starter out of five offensive linemen, two backups RBs that don't contribute a whole lot, and a WR that was never more than 4th on the depth chart does not make a QB.

FlyHighFalcons Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 And I know I'll get flamed for this:NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HATE AT ALL to Matt Ryan, I think he is always going to be one of the best QBs in the game, but I think that Sam Bradford is going to be better.

J-RoC770 Posted July 31, 2011 Author Share Posted July 31, 2011 Snelling, had contributed more than you think. He blocks for Matt Ryan, he bails him out by being the check down guy, he always get positive yards no matter if it's rushing or receiving. Brian Finneran is always sure handed, always get 3rd down completion and that beautiful fade route in the red zone of course Fin gets those 8/10 times.

Neither does a guy that averages 20 receptions a year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

falcon11255 Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 really not making him a matt ryan with the old players who are not even qb so they really cant help and plus sam bradford is a good qb so im pretty sure he will be as good as matt ryan in the next couple of years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WCFalcon Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Statistically, Matt had a better season his rookie year.They were nearly equal in yards passed, and Matt's rating was nearly 10 points better than Bradford in their Rookie seasons. Bradford is going to be a good QB; he's smart and he's pretty athletic. He has great promise. Matt has already proven that he is good, and he will continue to improve. Let's see what happens this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voice of Reason Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Or maybe their GM is trying to simply stock his new team with players he scouted when he was here.Ya think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miller2Rison Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Snelling can be a starter he stepped it up when turner went down in 09, finneran has always been one my fav players but he is aging and everybody know harvey dahl is a mad man, i think all 3 of them are improvements to what the rams have now.

Karst41 Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 There are always 2 sides to every story.He could have found one of Vicks dirty(herpes infested) straps in his locker.He could have realized,..... WTF am I doing in Philly , and Ran.The important part is this.He came to his senses and GTFO of Philly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOKER2 Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 (edited) Bradford will be good, and I understand what thier philosophy is by putting some of our ex-solid players around him to not only help him, but also help thier team. But I think that they'd be better off trying to go more with younger FA's and guys that were less injury prone. That will help more over the long haul IMO.Dahl is a good pick up though, I always liked the guy and his bring it attitude.Whether or not Bradford will be better than Ryan remains to be seen. Even if someday he ends up being better statistically, Ryan has a better chance to win Super Bowls right now.

UptownHardHitta Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 I'm sure they would be estatic if Bradford has as much success as Ryan, but I'm sure they have even higher expectations. They are in the same "generation " so to speak, they will always be compared for the rest of their careers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
