When you look at a guy like Chris Todd, you don’t see a rocket arm like a Stafford or a JaMarcus Russell. He doesn’t quite have the mobility of a Steve Young either. But what I like about the guy is that he stays within himself and just tries to get the most out of what he’s got. I talked to his coaches, and they obviously liked what they saw last year as he was the starter throughout. He’s a bit of a reach at No. 1, but if you’re the Rams, you can’t pass up on a quarterback when they guy you got in Bulger is clearly on the decline.

There could be something to this.

In his second year behind the Ram’s then-SB-quality O-line Bulger was a starting All-Pro quarterback and MVP of the game. This many years later, as he staggers out of the Rams’s locker room a broken and shattered remnant of that shiny new QB and Todd cheerfully considers the prospect of taking Mark’s place as TARGET, all I can say is “Bravo, optimist!”
