Rams Add McDaniels, Tebow Trade Speculation Should End

Today the St. Louis Rams named former Denver Broncos head coach Josh McDaniels offense coordinator after negotiations between the two parties nearly broke down and McDaniels came close to accepting the same position with the Seattle Seahawks.  He also reportedly was under consideration with the Minnesota Vikings and Kansas City Chiefs.

By joining the Rams, McDaniels will get a chance to tutor 2010 number one overall pick quarterback Sam Bradford.   While he most certainly planned on working with Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow, McDaniels instead gets to work with a quarterback that nearly led his team to the postseason in his rookie year.

Speaking of Tebow, this should end any speculation of the Broncos moving the quarterback. Despite Executive Vice President of Football Operations John Elway’s emphatic statements to the contrary, some in the media expected McDaniels to make a push to acquire Tebow with his new team.  With Bradford solidly in place with the Rams, that should not happen.

I have to wonder if this in the big picture will be a good thing for Bradford.  While McDaniels’ talents for working with quarterbacks is well documented, it is widely expected in league circles that McDaniels will get another chance at being a head coach sooner rather than later.  With continuity being a key factor in the development of a young quarterback, one can’t help but wonder if having McDaniels there for only a year or two could affect Bradford’s growth.

What say you, Broncos Country? How will McDaniels fare with Bradford? Is there merely a stepping for McDaniels to get another shot at being the head man?

    Who cares lets talk about the broncos.

    St. Louis just took a step backwards. Like TO, McGone is a cancer.

    Start the ticker, the LA Rams curse has returned.

    There is no justice in the world when this imbecile, who gutted the Broncos, get millions

    For all his faults on the personnel side, McD knew how to gameplan on offense, I see him doing pretty well in STL just working on the offense

  • CJ

    All he could do is throw the ball. Every great offense knows how to run the rock and mcd was a mcdumbass when it cam to that

    I wish Broncos fans would wake up and come to the realization that the rest of the league has. McDaniels is a hell of a coach. His personnel decisions may or may not have been the best (it's up for debate), but the fact that he was immediately considered for HC vacancies, was thought of as a top coordinator, and surfaced as the hottest OC candidate in the league at least says that his teams were prepared and well schemed on offense.

    The only thing Mcdipsh^t was good at was running the broncos into the bowels of hell.This man has been riding the coat tails of Belichick and has no business in the nfl. Don't worry the Rams will find out soon enough. Good luck rams youre gonna need it.

    I'm with hope. who gives 2 shits or a fuck about where he's going. focus on the task at hand

  • flbronc

    bradford will be ok. when mcd gets another hc gig, he will send 9 draft picks to st. louis for him.

  • TJ

    Better get used to the “Bubble Screen”, Rams fans. That just replaced your running game.

  • AtomicLeo

    Despite the blogger's comments in this article and a few reader's comment, I don't think it's a given that McDaniels gets another crack at HC in a few years. He needs another 5 years in the ranks, IMO, before he takes that next step. The Seattle maneuvering is interesting. Wonder how much it played a part in getting Bates fired. Yet another d*ck move by McD. Enjoy the weasel St. Louis

  • Stav

    Ok – who cares, screw this asshole, back to the Broncos. Anyone?

  • Jljconst

    Hey Denver fans..Just wanted to thank-you for getting ride of McD..He will do wonders for our Rams!!! Hope you will enjoy booing him next year as you sit on your couch and watch the Rams in the playoffs!!!!!!

    Trade Tebow to the Jaquars – they really could use a real Quarterback for a change. And he would be back home and happy, and you folks in Colorado could keep Kyle Orton and lose all your Games in 2011, thereby winning the #1 Draft Pick in 2012. (It might be the Young Man Andrew Luck from Stanford that your Chief Executive Officer wants so bad)

    This is directly related to the Broncos as it ends a fair amount of Tebow trade rumors.

  • Belotta

    big numbers in the passing offense does not an offense make. we didn't win any games and we had no running game and we couldn't score. that's no offense. sure, when he was oc under bb they steamrolled. The Pats tend to do that. It didn't stop when mcd left and it didn't continue when he came to denver.
