Rams QB Sam Bradford Will Be Starting Week 3 Or 4

Adam Schefter reported on ESPN's NFL Live that the general feeling around St. Louis is that Sam Bradford will be starting by Week 3 or 4 this season. A.J. Feeley has been getting the first-team reps with the Rams' offense so far, though we'd expect Bradford to start getting worked more into the equation over the next few weeks. Bradford could have a chance to start by Week 1 if he has a strong preseason.

I'm confused as to why the Rams would put information like this out. Why focus in on a week rather then saying sometime next season?

 

All I know is eventually AJ Feely will be NOT starting

 

Why not wait and see how he does in the preseason, much like the Falcons did with Matt Ryan?

 

I don't think they did "put it out." The "general feeling" just means that people in the organization have a feeling that he'll start around week three or four after Feeley or whoever's starting fails miserably the first couple weeks. I think this title needs a quesion mark.

 

I hope for his sake he sits the entire year. He is no where close to being ready.

 

he might still be holding out by then

 

Especially on a team like that. :sw:

 

It's ESPN, they're probably reading forums like this to get their speculations.

 

yep, some qb's have succeeded starting right away but, generally, there is a higher success rate letting someone sit and learn for a year or so .................
