interesting tidbit about him...

Weinke won a national championship at Florida State in 1999 and the Heisman Trophy in 2000. His NFL career was much different, composing a 2-18 record with the Panthers and 49ers. Since 2010, Weinke has been running IMG Academy in Bradenton, Fla., training high school, college, and pro quarterbacks. Some of the more notable signal callers he's worked with recently are Cam Newton, Russell Wilson, Ryan Tannehill, and Teddy Bridgewater. It's a solid get for the Rams IMO

O.K. knock off the creative names. It falls under name calling. Weinke is now a Ram Coach. What's wrong with you people?

Sam had dinner with Weinke last week... He must have gave his approval. Sam seems to have a lot of say.

Apparently, everyone Weinke has worked with has improved in a number of categories. So the Commish was right. This guy may actually help Sammie if Sammie is still here come May.

Weinke thoughts on Sam...

“Love him. Love him,” Weinke told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch when asked about Bradford. “Historically, I look back at every guy that I’ve evaluated coming out of college. A few years ago when Andrew Luck came out they said who would you compare him to? And I said the closest I would see is Sam Bradford. And I say that without knowing Sam. I’d never met Sam until this process. Looking at his physical skill set. And then obviously talking to people and understanding his mental capacity and his football IQ, and all those different things. Sam by far has had the best pro day out of any guy I’ve ever evaluated from a physical standpoint. And he was coming off an injury at that point in time. So when you look at a guy who’s a pure passer of the football from a physical standpoint, he’s as good as anybody I’ve ever evaluated.”
