It's official: Pat Shurmur is the new Cleveland Browns' head coach, which leaves the St. Louis Rams without an offensive coordinator and gives us our very first Sam Bradford worries of the offseason. After spending all year worrying about Shurmur stifling Bradford with his pre-forward-pass offensive game plan, we can now worry about Bradford not having enough stability at the start of his career.
↵Fact: Fans of a team with a young quarterback can worry about anything.
↵Of Turf Show TImes's choices I happen to like Josh McDaniels the most—anybody who can turn Kyle Orton into the monster he was before the Denver Broncos fell apart is okay by me—but I guess that also stems from my skepticism about Bradford's need for stability. He and the Rams don't need stability—they need to improve. Stable got the Rams the 26th best offense in the NFL last season.
↵As VanRam himself admits, I am biased toward the downfield and the dynamic as someone who grew up watching the Mike Martz Rams, so McDaniels and John Ramsdell are my favorite choices on aesthetics alone. But if the Rams are looking for stability they need to decide, now, what offense they plan on running for the next five to ten years.
