Quarterback Rank: #11
Overall: #58
Bradford had a tremendous rookie season. He did have some struggles to end the season (two touchdowns to six interceptions last five games), but his overall year was better than expected. He threw for more than 3,500 yards, broke a record for rookie pass attempts and completions, and finished with more touchdowns than interceptions for the season. He played every game and took every snap, showing he could be a durable NFL starter. And at one point during the season, Bradford went four straight games without an interception. Bradford posted all these numbers with a rag-tag group of receivers. The Rams get some options back healthy this season and added more talent to the mix, which will benefit Bradford. Plus, Bradford gets Josh McDaniels as his offensive coordinator. McDaniels has a history of producing big quarterback numbers. Bradford is a star in the making. He has all the tools to be a top NFL quarterback. He can make all the throws, is extremely accurate, and his ability to make plays with his legs is underrated. Bradford still needs a little work reading defenses and getting up to speed with the NFL game, but is progressing quickly area.

Bradford is going to be an elite fantasy player - maybe not this season but he'll show glimpses of that. You have to like his potential with McDaniels calling plays. It would not surprise to see Bradford top 4,000 yards and finish with near 30 touchdowns. He has that ability, especially in this new offense. For this year, consider him a low-end No. 1 or top No. 2 for fantasy teams. |

| St. Louis Rams QB Sam Bradford is excited to play for new head coach Jeff Fisher, but also frustrated that he'll have a third offensive coordinator in as many years. 'Would I like to be in the same offense I was in as a rookie? Yeah,' Bradford said. However, he added that having a full offseason and his experience of learning new offenses will ease the transition. |

| St. Louis Rams QB Sam Bradford genuinely loves offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels' scheme. He has talked with several quarterbacks and coaches who have run that type of offense and everyone tells him it takes two to three years to master it. If given a choice between the West Coast offense he learned as a rookie and the 'Patriot' offense he used this year, Bradford said he'd prefer McDaniels' offense. |
| Fantasy Impact: We are guessing Bradford will have to learn another new scheme in 2012. |

| Trading St. Louis Rams QB Sam Bradford would be very difficult due to financial reasons. According to a source with knowledge of Bradford's contract, the team already has paid him $30 million in only two seasons. He has $12 million guaranteed due in 2012, and he's scheduled to earn another $9 million guaranteed in 2013. Thus, to trade Bradford, the Rams would need to find a team willing to cough up $21 million guaranteed over two years. Bradford's new team would have to be willing to give up multiple picks and/or players. Bradford's buzz has also greatly diminished after this season. |
