Sam Bradford feeling comfortable with the Rams offense
St. Louis Rams quarterback Sam Bradford believes the Rams offense, which averaged only 10.9 points per game in 2009, is making progress everyday.
"I think this offense has great potential, and I feel like we've gotten better every practice," Bradford said Thursday, per Bill Coats of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. "One thing I can attest to is a great attitude. Everyone comes ready to work. When we go to meetings, everyone's positive. When we come on the field, everyone's excited to be here. I think there's a lot of talent, and I think we're going in the right direction."
While Bradford, who the No. 1 overall draft pick in 2010, has taken reps with the first-team offense, he's taken more reps with the second and third units than he has with the first.
It's unlikely that Bradford will begin the season as the starting quarterback as coach Steve Spagnuolo had previously suggested that the Rams would like to bring along Bradford similarly to the way they did (when he was in Philadelphia) with Donovan McNabb, who started around mid-season.
Regardless of which unit he's on to start the season, Bradford expects to have a deal done before training camp even though he's not concerning himself with the contract stuff.
"I haven't even talked to my agent (Tom Condon) about it," Bradford said. "I'm not concerned about it. That's why I hired an agent, and I think he's very good at what he does. I'm sure he and the Rams will come to an agreement before training camp. I expect to be here on time."
From a fantasy perspective, Bradford has little value in a non-keeper leagues or shallow leagues where owners start only one quarterback. Nonetheless he ranks as my top rookie QB for fantasy football.
