Sam Bradford out for year. (torn ACL)

Never even got to see the hit. Was terrible camera coverage. Not even a replay.

 

They did show another camera angle @ halftime. I had the game on DVR and did a frame by frame. It looked like Armonty Bryant got blocked into Bradford- he grabbed him up high- and when he pulled him down- Sam's knee buckled. It wasn't a particularly hard hit- and it certainly wasn't a dirty one.

 

I feel horrible for the Rams. This was a contract year for Bradford, he should take this year and next, and possibly attempt a comeback in 2016.

 

IMHO Sam should take the cash and call it a career. Rams may regret not drafting Bortles. One of those guys who's made out of glass & could have been great. Shades of Montario Hardesty and Lawyer Tillman. . A re-do of an ACL tear on the same knee? You're going to need an artificial knee by the time you're 50 Sam.

I was at the game and they showed the replay 3 times.

 

It looked like the weight of Armonty Bryant snapped Bradford's knee

I'd be surprised if the Rams don't just roll with what they've got and when they ultimately land in the top 10 picks next year get a franchise guy. There's a significant amount of high quality QB prospects this year that the Rams could likely get their guy.

 

I always hate to see this type of thing though. However, let us not forget Bradford was taken before the rookie salary cap and had a cool $50 million GUARANTEED so I don't feel too bad about the contract situation. He'll land a back-up role no problem but there's no way the Rams can keep this waiting game up.

I bet someone would offer him 3 or 4 mill a year to come hold a clipboard. Id take an artificial knee for that cash...
