Big time Bradford named NFL Rookie of the Week

St. Louis Rams QB Sam Bradford has been named the NFL Rookie of the Week for his week 4 dismantling of the Seattle Seahawks.

Bradford was also up for the FedEx NFL Air Player of the Week, but that went to Denver's Kyle Orton.

It's good to see the kid getting his due, and I suspect he'll get plenty more before the year's over. Offensive Rookie of the Year is a very distinct possibility.

Bradford was also #1 on the St. Louis Sports Power Rankings at SBN St. Louis.

Sam Bradford has made professional football relevant in Saint Louis for the first time in six years, and it took him four short weeks. His play has been remarkable, especially considering he still doesn't have a number one receiver or a "good" offensive line, and faces blitz after blitz. He has the demeanor of Lee Majors and the looks of a young Tom Selleck. His skin makes newborns jealous. Women want to be him, men want to be with him—yes, you read that right. He's that good.

"Women want to be him, men want to be with him"

That is just down right hilarious.

If we were 9ers fans living in the gay bay then a statement, such as that, would be fitting. I’ll be taking NO balls deep for anyone, thank you very much. Let’s keep it on the straight and narrow with an extra emphasis on straight ,OK

The only thing comparable to a Rams win is a 49er loss!

No, this is serious business.

Someone needs to loosen up.

I think a South Park reference is appropriate

actually i spend alot of time bagging on my friend who is a 9er fan, gay jokes from the gay bay lead the way in these jokes

I have been bragging about Sam Vs his Smith. I sent him the link from here showing Sam winning rookie of the week. Now I’m gonna get a rash of shit cuz we be posting about our mancrush on Bradford. By the way, that was one of his puns. Now you fags have given him gay sam slander to work with. Gee thanks.

GD. take a joke.

jeez its all in good humor. If you can’t take humor then send him a link to espn of nfl.com that says it. jeez some ppl cant take jokes. WHY SO SERIOUS?????

First off, I don’t appear to be a cigarette, so you seem to be mistaken about this ‘fag’ thing, sing as far as I know, tobacco products can’t type.

Second… Dude, learn how to take a fricking joke. If I do recall YOU were the one who made the GIANT issue of it being somehow homosexual. The rest of us just read the above article and found it humorous like those weird Old Spice commercials.

by Terminus Est on Oct 10, 2010 3:31 AM CDT up reply actions

Can I take exception??

I think it takes a heck of an OL to neutralize that “Blitz after Blitz after Blitz” comment. If Sam didn’t have more than a (“less than good”) OL he would lead the league in being sacked, and at the bottom in passing yards. We have a really good OL IMO.

by Knoxfan on Oct 8, 2010 3:48 PM CDT reply actions

Agreed.

I really like this Saffold – Bell – Brown – Goldberg/Greco – Smith line-up.

its funny how smith, a second overall pick, seems to be the weak link of this group

by Buck Nasty87 on Oct 8, 2010 4:15 PM CDT up reply actions

i know

i mean he is doing pretty good for a young guys and has room to grow but is for sure my least favorite of the online.

by stlfan2004 on Oct 8, 2010 6:58 PM CDT up reply actions

Smith looks good on running plays to me...

… On Jacksons 42 yard run, go back and watch…smith has his guy 10 yards up field.

by leadhead on Oct 8, 2010 7:10 PM CDT up reply actions

oh no.,... i agree he has flashes of real strength especially against the run

I just don’t think he is near “second overall” flash YET….. he is pretty good just not showing me potential to be “great” yet but he has time to grow still so we’ll see.

by stlfan2004 on Oct 8, 2010 8:20 PM CDT up reply actions

Yeah...

… I know what you mean. He was going to be THE LT and follow in the footsteps of great Ram LTs like Pace and Slater (Best to ever play the game IMO). But it didnt really happen like that. But this group has a a ways to go, he might just be a late bloomer.

by leadhead on Oct 9, 2010 10:59 AM CDT up reply actions

They're not without their talents

And they’re definitely not bad (Hi Da Bears!), I just wouldn’t go so far as to call the unit as a whole “good.” Adequate, maybe? Decent?

Stupidest thing I've ever read...

[H]e still doesn’t have a number one receiver or a “good” offensive line, and faces blitz after blitz.

Mark Clayton is on pace for 1,200 yards, 8 TD, and 60 first downs. That doesn’t count as a number 1 receiver?

And this isn’t 2007. The Rams offensive line isn’t bad anymore. Last year it was fine, and this year it’s really good. When stupid people try to pick on the Rams offense and sound like they know something, the pull the “o-line sucks” line right out of their ass and expect people to believe them. The reason Sam Bradford has been good against the blitz is because the O-line is playing really well.

by StopSpe on Oct 8, 2010 6:22 PM CDT reply actions

Amen

by chndlr54 on Oct 8, 2010 6:25 PM CDT up reply actions

Yeah I agree there...

…I would however rate the oline last year as really terrible. I think now it is good and getting better. I actually think they are even better than they look, but since we have a rookie quarterback, opposing teams are bringing the heat much more than they normally would because they think they wont get burnt. As Bradford progresses and starts burning teams deep, this will stop and the Ram oline will be one of the best in football I think.

by leadhead on Oct 8, 2010 6:58 PM CDT up reply actions

the o line is good but i agree that we still dont have a number 1 receiver

mark clayton can be a fantastic number 2 but we need a big tall physical go to guy like andre johnson, megatron, larry fitz, etc. no one is scheming on how to stop 5 10 clayton. we should still target a guy like aj green in the draft,

by Buck Nasty87 on Oct 8, 2010 7:16 PM CDT up reply actions

I agree, you have to either have height or speed...

… That is why Amendola should factor into the game more. I dont care if people think he should just be a slot receiver, they should have a play action where he turns on the jets and outruns his coverage. If Clayton gets the double, this should be an easy six for the rams.

Amendola is the key to getting the rest of our receivers catching passes without a DB draped over their back on the short and intermediate routes where the Rams are most effective.

If that is the stupidest thing you have ever read

you have not read much of my work. I write a lot stupider shit than that.

(Also, reminder to myself: apparently Rams fans don’t get self-deprecating humor.)

And, again, I dind't call the O-Line bad!

yeh Mark Clayton isn't a #1 receiver

he didn’t say it was bad he said it wasn’t good… its probably average or above average

As long as a midget catches the ball and get YAC who cares what you call him? #1 #2 or slot. It’s winning the game and making important catches that count. That 3rd down conversions percentage is HUGE!
