Getting injured can cost you your job. Honestly after this injury I think the Rams have had enough of Sam Bradford because they are in the super competitive division NFC West. Lastly and most importantly the Rams want to win NOW.
Here are some examples to refresh everyone's memory:
Tony Romo took over for Drew Bledsoe.

Like I mentioned earlier Bradford's tenure with the Rams is most likely over. He's been in the league for four seasons and has missed a total of 15 games. He's almost missed a whole NFL season due to injuries. This total is not including the whole upcoming season he is about to miss.
In conclusion ladies and gentlemen in football or maybe in sports in general talent doesn't mean everything. Talent means a lot but a player must be able to stay healthy. Look at some of the greats, Brett Farve had a record of 297 consecutive starts! Up until his 2011 neck surgery Peyton Manning never missed a game his whole career. Although it's easier said than done in the vicious sport of football, to be the best (and stay employed) you have to stay healthy.
