There's a "definite possibility" Sam Bradford will need ankle surgery after the season, sources tell CBS' Jason La Canfora.
Bradford's troublesome left ankle continues to give him problems. "Obviously to me it's very frustrating because I thought that by this point this year it would be a non-factor," he said. Still, Bradford hasn't missed any reps at camp and is reportedly moving well. Surgery after the season is on the extreme back burner.

The Post-Dispatch confirms that the Rams do have concerns about Sam Bradford's left ankle holding up for a the entire season.
For someone that hasn't missed a single rep during training camp, Bradford's "injury" sure is getting a lot of attention. The bottom line is that he's still feeling some slight soreness stemming from last year's severe high-ankle sprain, but his mobility hasn't been compromised at all. Bradford considers the story a "non-issue.

Oh yeah, and he's still antsy in the pocket.

The Rams have installed a short-based passing offense under first-year OC Brian Schottenheimer in an effort to cure Sam Bradford's "Cabin Fever" in the pocket.
Bradford won NFL Rookie of the Year in Pat Shurmur's quick-hitting West Coast offense in 2010. In Josh McDaniels' vertical scheme last season, Bradford began anticipating the pass rush as his protection struggled and receivers didn't win one-on-one matchups outside. Schottenheimer has taken Bradford back to the drawing board. "There are a lot of quick completions, getting the ball out of my hand," Bradford explained. "I don't think there's gonna be a lot of dropping back, sitting there in the pocket, patting it and waiting for guys to come open 20 yards down the field. It's gonna be about being efficient."

Approaching DND status for me.

I wasn't considering him just because he's on the Rams

If they stink Bradford can have a good fantasy season with a lot of garbage time yards

QB is deep enough though that Bradford's really on the bubble as a QB2. I'd rather roll the dice with RGIII, Roethlisburger, etc. there are QBs with much more talent at WR on teams with shakey defenses. Hell, You could say the same about Andrew Luck - he's got Wayne/Collie and a couple TEs. That team should be behind in a lot of games and luck will throw for 5000 yards.

I've got Bradford as the 20-24th QB.

I'd say even lower. He's one of those QBs you can throw a late pick at in case they do anything this year.

I'd put him with: Flynn, Locker, Sanchez, Tebow, Cassel, Ponder, all guys you can get in the last 3-4 rounds of a draft.

For sure below Locker (who tops that list as the Titans should throw more) - but yeah...Cassel, Ponder...that's about where I have Bradford too.
