Sam Bradford Injury: Rams Sign Potential Backup QB...For Tom Brandstater

PrintThe St. Louis Rams added a fourth quarterback to the mix today. Matt Gutierrez was signed to the practice squad, replacing cornerback Nate Ness, per Howard Balzer. The extra quarterback will be needed if the Rams are without both Sam Bradford and A.J. Feeley this week, which is a distinct possibility.
A.J. Feeley has a broken thumb in his throwing hand. Sam Bradford is dealing with the same high ankle sprain that forced him out for two games in October. The Rams are preparing for the distinct possibility that Tom Brandstater will be starting this week. They have until Saturday to make a decision on activating Gutierrez.
Gutierrez was signed as an undrafted free agent by the New England Patriots in 2007, when McDaniels was the offensive coordinator. He was playing the Arizona with the Area League most recently.
In other shitty news, the Rams had a punter in the building for a tryout today. Tom Malone was with the Patriots from 2006 to 2009, though he never made it onto the active roster. Donnie Jones is dealing with an ankle injury.

I just love the "in other shitty news" transition
a phrase that every rams fan is used to.
Beating off the dog is never appropriate when we have company over...... I mean EVER!
Special announcement- Can I have your attention, please?
Has anyone here ever played or know someone who has played quarterback before? Anyone? Hands please….

How about you stand behind this O-line and have 270+ DEs 300+ DTs and 240+ LBs tee off on you all day.
Yeah. Shut the fuck up.
2 men enter 1 man leaves. THOSE ARE THE RULES OF THUNDER DOME!
Y'know, if he was, you wouldn't see him go down in clear agony, miss a snap, and return right after in one of his last games.

Again, again, again, injuries, injuries, injuries. It not because foot-ball is a strong game.
It is because this team has not a good shape nor leadership.
A change is really needed: Devaney and Spags out; trade to Jackson, bring HEALTHLY free agents and build a franchise around Bradford.
OL is needed in a hurry, also DL and OLB. No more WR nor CB, quality is there.
Instead, bring in the draft to RB Trent Richardson, a good DT and respectable OLB.
In free agency look for HEALTHLY OL replacement…. and no more, quality players are overthere DE and CB are good, maybe very good.
AND… wait and see.
Next year schedule will be so easy; a good beginning for this restructuration.
