re:eddie lacy......Cadillac Williams, Laurence maroney, and Maurice clarett were pretty awesome in college too
ram's traded both their 6th round picks to get a 5th round pick and make their final selection, zac stacy, RB out of vandy, kid's running style and physical traits are very similar to MJD/doug martin, the fact snead was willing to trade two picks for this kid speaks volumes if you're a ram's fan
but honestly, I hope he never really gets many chances to play, really banking on isiah pead/daryl Richardson to be very effective running backs
from my point of view, it really looks like ram's offensive strategy is trying to emulate what the saints have been dong, they are loaded with weapons all under the age of 25, there are still lots of suits on TV and coaches who are convinced sam Bradford is the real deal, him going 7-9 as a rookie with such a shit team was miraculous, they also lost 4+ games by LESS than 3 points that year
On December 26, Bradford surpassed Peyton Manning's record for most completed passes by an NFL rookie quarterback (326). Bradford finished the season with 354 completions out of 590 attempts, surpassing Manning's record of 575 for most attempts by an NFL rookie quarterback. Bradford became just the third rookie quarterback to start all 16 regular season games and pass over 3000 passing yards, joining Peyton Manning and Matt Ryan
manning and ryan had far better weapons...buuuttt lots of sam's completions were a shit load of screens and 3 yard slants
yeah he was able to accomplish that with an awful head coach, oline and WRs that were lucky to be in the league
he was the reason pat shurmur got the brown's HC job and we all know how well that turned out
