Sounds like initial reports were untrue. Same ACL as a year ago torn for Bradford...

If it ends up like this, talk about a terrible investment. We debate on here the contracts given to guys like Kaepernick, Flacco, Cutler, Dalton, etc...but look at what the Rams have paid Bradford since drafting him and haven't even gone .500.

The Rams should be fine this year without Bradford.

I keep hearing about the Browns having a top defense, and their 2nd and 3rd string guys were carving us up like Swiss cheese last night. With some more reps their QB's will be fine.

I think Shaun Hill is a very good option to start. Not much of a drop off. The bigger issue is, say Bradford comes back and has a decent year next year. Then what? 2 full years missed with injury and another 2 full years surrounded by some straight garbage talent. Do the Rams even know what they have?

Andy Dalton has looked incredible thus far, even without Marvin Jones and Tyler Eifert. He really hasn't made any mistakes...

It wasn't sustainable how it was before.

Well it's not the playoffs, so that sounds about right.

Now, now. You both have a point, but even outside of the playoffs, Dalton has always been a 1 mistake for every 2 great plays kinda guy. Even his great games last year, he was prone to not executing the basics such as throwing the ball away or protecting the ball while running.

To Bengals fans: who would you realistically rather have at QB right now?

Dalton will finally have his break out season and shut up the boo-birds and hanger oners. Bengals WILL win a play-off game - bank it.

I think without some big time injuries that hte bengals make a serious push this year. Gruden was good for the offense to a point but I think Jackson is going to be more aggressive and it ultimately will get results in the playoffs.

There is no one, which is why I didn't have a problem with his contract. If the Bengals didn't pay him, someone else would have.

Is Kirk Cousins an upgrade over Andy Dalton? Is giving away a 2nd rounder worth figuring out? Maybe in a fantasy land where intangible factors and other things don't come into play, but realistically, were the Bengals really going to be a BETTER TEAM in 2014 or 2015 by changing QB's in this offseason?

I don't see how anyone could argue they would be.

Dalton or cousins? Don't think it matters both are below avg starters.

I don't understand the media hardon for cousins. What did he do last season that made anyone think he's a stud?

They are overlooking what he did with extensive PT last year and just looking at 2 seasons ago when he played just a little bit

Surprisingly Dalton's numbers are very comparable/a little better than Peyton Manning's in their first 3 seasons.

I am telling you...AD is a good QB. I think Gruden handcuffed him in the playoffs last year with some very, very conservative play callling and then he started to force things when he did get a shot...and that failed. Jackson will be more wide open and aggressive and that is going to help.

Dalton is an average to slightly above average QB. Mid-low teens

All my Facebook is,is complaining and comparing Gordon to Rice. You cant even compare the two. Both were wrong and Ray Rice isssss a piece of Shit, but he wasnt even charged with anything. ( Not that he didnt do it). And the NFL has very specific rules and guidelines for banned substances.everyone knew what was coming.

Gordon was on the 3rd tier of testing and knew one more failed test (even barely failed)meant a year ban and did it anyways. Then while appealing, decides to get a DUI. The guy got what he had coming
