MNF: 49ers at St. Louis (Rams: 1999 throwback uniforms)

[gettlemanjack]

Rams QB Austin Davis walked on at Southern Miss but ended up breaking Brett Favre's records for career touchdowns, passing yards and completion percentage.

Now, Davis currently ranks in the top 10 in the NFL in completion percentage (#7), yards-per-attempt average (#8) and passer rating (#10). For comparison, 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick ranks 16th in each of those categories.

Austin Davis is posting a 100.6 rating in his three starts.

With Davis, the Rams have averaged 417.7 yards a game (which would be #3 in the NFL, overall Rams are #8 in NFL with 392.8 ypg)

Chris Wesseling of NFL.com: "Sam Bradford has never generated a passer rating over 95.0 in three consecutive games. Austin Davis did it in his first three starts."

Brad Gagnon of CBS Sports on film study of Austin Davis: "He reminds me of Tony Romo, and not just because they're both undrafted free agents who experienced immediate success when stepping in for bigger names. Davis is an improviser. His raw skills don't blow you away, but he has a knack for finding a way to make the play."

ESPN: "Even more impressive is that Austin Davis’ quality play has come in the face of adversity, having been pressured on 34 percent of his dropbacks which is the fourth-highest rate among starting quarterbacks."

San Francisco vs Saint Louis on MNF and in baseball, San Francisco vs Saint Louis are tied 1-1 in the series to see who goes to the World Series for the National League (SF Giants/Cardinals don't play tonight, next game is tomorrow)

Kaepernick is 3-0 on MNF. He is looking to become first 49ers QB to go 4-0 on MNF.

With the Rams being 1-3 and playing at home. Anyone think they have a shot at a win tonight?

the #2 overall pick in the 2014 draft, Greg Robinson, is getting his 1st NFL start tonight (at LG in place of Davin Joseph, who heads to the bench. Rodger Saffold at RG)

and Rams rookie RB Tre Mason is active for the first time this season. He was the 2013 SEC Offensive Player of the Year after rushing for 1,816 yds for Auburn last year, breaking the school record held by Heisman winner Bo Jackson 's 1,786 set in 1985.
