This is genuinely the best name ever for a Rams fan posing as a Seahawks fan.

Kappy is about to demonstrate my point. The Niners O line is as porous as a screen. Kappy is getting terrorized by pass rushes. The first 9 quarters of the preseason they scored 3 points and none with Kappy. He played a quarter and a half against the Charges and was strip sacked twice and scored a whopping 3 points. This is what happens to good QBs that aren't protected.
For the record, the Rams pass protection ranked 14th last season. The Seahawks ranked 32nd. Seattle won the SB with said protection.
Granted, I do agree that Seattle would be far less effective with Bradford and the Rams would be awesome with Wilson. The problem for Rams fans is that few coaches in NFL history have taken longer to find their first true franchise QB than Fisher has.

This Rams team is far better than last season. They have their running game on track with the bulldozer Robinson making holes. The pass rush is probably second to none. Quick and Britt are playing lights out. Bailey has proven to be an excellent receiver and will be back week 5. KC was a serviceable QB, Hill is far better.
Robinson has actually had a bit of a tough preseason. Quick is one more forgettable season away from bust status, and Britt is, at best, 2010 Mike Williams. Bailey isn't proven at all. If every WR who looked good in college was proven then there would be 150 proven WRs in the NFL.
I don't think the Rams receivers are terrible, but they are far more "pedestrian" than the group Seattle had last year. They can be an effective part of an offense if paired with an elite QB or a brilliant OC.
Shaun Hill had one season where he had extensive playtime and that one season his passer rating was only 3 points higher than what Clemens had last year. I wouldn't say "far" better but he's a good backup, and quite honestly I don't see the Rams record being impacted much from the loss of Bradford. If the Rams were going to be 7-9 with Bradford, they'll be 7-9 with Shaun Hill.

Bradford's done in STL. My guess is he gets cut soon for cap reasons. His future in the NFL is bleak because he won't want a minimum "prove it" contract and no one will pay more with his injury history. He probably won't even be ready to play by the start of next season.
It would take a special kind of arrogance for Snead and Fisher to pay almost $17 million for Bradford next year.
As a Hawks fan that badly wanted Armonty Bryant in the 2013 draft, it sucked watching Bryant deliver the coup de grace to Bradford. Now if the Seahawks had drafted Bryant, not only would they have gotten a steal but Bradford would still be the man in STL.
