The Facts:
Jeff Fisher decided to keep the QB he inherited, Bradford, rather than draft a franchise QB of the future, after talking to many of the people he respects most around the NFL and concluding that Bradford has the potential to be the best QB in football. "There's no doubt," Fisher said on Mike and Mike in the Morning. "There's a number of friends of mine in the league that know the league, and I had one of them tell me during the process that they thought Sam may be one of the better QBs - or the best QB - in the league, he just hasn't had a chance to prove it yet. That weighed very heavily in my opinion. Very, very impressive player. I think he has a tremendous upside."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
As PFT's Michael David Smith notes, Bradford was the first overall pick in 2010, the final year before the new rookie wage scale was implemented, which means that if he becomes anything less than a great QB, the Rams are overpaying for his services. It'll be interesting to see how Bradford responds to working under a third offensive coordinator -- Brian Schottenheimer -- in as many seasons as a pro.
