For all the talk about QB’s and who belongs where… I think it’s pretty clear who’s who in the NFL. Some are elite. Some are on their way. Others are simply overrated. If you had your choice, all things considered, who do you want to be the QB of your team? The theory is simple. [...]
Former Denver Broncos head coach Josh McDaniels has been linked to several offensive coordinator positions this offseason, but most recently he was supposedly hot and heavy with Steve Spagnuolo and the St. Louis Rams. We heard not too long ago that talks had broken down, but they apparently picked up again, because he’s accepting the [...]
My job as an amateur non-journalist is to please NFL fans with bold predictions and game insight. You may call 1-800 numbers for Joey Bambino’s ‘lock of the week,’ but what he tells you isn’t the same thing he tells the next guy. It’s his job to get 50% of the money on one side [...]
Good news and bad news for the St. Louis Rams. Actually there are two pieces of good news for the Rams. The first piece of good news is that they even have a piece of good news. And that good news is that rookie QB Sam Bradford actually looked pretty sharp against the New England. [...]
This makes perfect sense to us. Last year’s top-overall pick in the NFL, Matthew Stafford of the Detroit Lions, got $41.7 million guaranteed when he signed. Well, that mark just got shattered. The St. Louis Rams have agreed to a six-year, $78 million contract with QB Sam Bradford. With – get this – $50 million [...]
This is the part of sports that we just don’t understand. Not one bit. According to multiple media outlets, the Jacksonville Jaguars haven’t even made an offer to first-round pick Tyson Alualu (10th overall). Really? Really? We would love to know what they’ve been doing. Why on Earth would you not even start negotiating with [...]
Despite 610 WIP’s radio personality Howard Eskin reporting in January that Brian Westbrook might be forced to retire because of his ailing left knee, the former Pro-Bowler passed a physical with the St Louis Rams over the weekend. When healthy, the former Eagles running back is very productive. During his eight-year career with Philadelphia he [...]
OTR is proud to say we have had one of our most successful months as a blog and we wanted to reward our readers with one final NFL mock draft. It may not be as good as our first or as accurate as our second, but you better believe it will provide you with the [...]
OTR was rattled last Sunday when Donovan McNabb was traded to the Washington Redskins. Not because the former Eagles quarterback was traded within the division, but months of research, scouting, combine visits, and OTR conference calls seemed to have gone down the drain. In our first mock draft of the season we had the ‘Skins [...]
Here at OTR, we take a deeper look into the world of sports. As such, you can be sure that our 2010 NFL mock draft isn’t just a mock draft, but a sure thing of what is to come in late April. We have yet to miss a pick and you can be absolutely certain [...]
Oklahoma QB Sam Bradford may not have made a huge error by staying in school last year following his Heisman Trophy. Many thought he’d be the #1-overall pick last year and he may be in line to do the same thing in this year’s NFL draft. Bradford had his Pro Day workout on Monday and [...]
Bernie Miklasz of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch says that he spoke with St. Louis Rams GM Billy Devaney and he didn’t get the feeling that the team is remotely concerned about Sam Bradford’s shoulder issues. “Talking to Devaney, I had no sense – at all – that Rams have concerns over Bradford’s right shoulder. But [...]
OTR was able to get a hold of a few Wonderlic scores for this year’s crop of quarterbacks. And when we say “get a hold of,” we mean they were posted online somewhere and we read them. Oklahoma’s Sam Bradford scored an impressive 36 out of 50 on the intelligence exam, according to an NFL [...]
One of the events at the Combine is measuring the hands of all the top quarterbacks. It’s a thrilling event and tends to separate the men from the boys. On Friday after the measuring, it was revealed that Notre Dame quarterback Jimmy Clausen had the smallest hands in the group at only nine inches. Sam [...]
If anyone else said this or wrote this, we’d probably ignore it. But when it comes to having insider information ESPN’s Adam Schefter is about as good as they get. FOX’s Jay Glazer is up there as well. So when Schefter tells a St. Louis radio station that we need to believe it, that the [...]
Much of the talk regarding the St. Louis Rams lately has them trading the Philadelphia Eagles for QB Michael Vick and then selecting Nebraska DT Ndamukong Suh #1 overall in the draft. But since all that talk is from people who don’t know what they are talking about (us included), it doesn’t mean much. Tom [...]
A league source tells Jason Reid of the Washington Post that Redskins head coach Mike Shanahan wants to use the fourth-overall pick on a young QB for him to develop. This means that he is thinking like everyone else in the 202 area code that Jason Campbell is not the answer. Photo Caption: “Wish I [...]
As expected, Oklahoma Sooners quarterback Sam Bradford is scheduled to undergo season-ending surgery on his injured shoulder, not his good shoulder. PHOTO CAPTION: If Sam Bradford was left handed he would be throwing with the other hand. So what is the next step? Bradford has the choice to return next year to Oklahoma and try [...]
Detroit Lions rookie quarterback Matthew Stafford had a setback after practicing on Wednesday. Stafford experienced more swelling in his right knee, which was injured three weeks ago when Chicago Bears Adewale Ogunleye dislocated his knee cap during a sack. ESPN’s Chris Mortenson said this morning that Stafford is scheduled to have an MRI on the [...]
Oklahoma Sooners QB and last year’s Heisman Trophy winner, Sam Bradford, has demonstrated yet again that when you are on top of your game in college and predicted to be a very high and very rich first-round draft pick in the NFL, you should just leave school. That’s right, he hurt his shoulder again on [...]
Oklahoma QB and Heisman Trophy winner Sam Bradford is leaking millions of dollars as we speak. Why? Because as we speak Bradford is on his way to Birmingham, AL to meet with Dr. James Andrews. Bradford sprained his AC joint in his throwing shoulder in week 1 and there was thought to be no structural [...]
