Nice story! I could see the Rams waiting to start Goff at home. If the Rams lose in NJ and Keenum doesn't play well, that Miami game just may be it. 3-6, 5 game losing streak. Makes sense.by PaulButcher59 - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotelaram They struggle with trying to duplicate something, that is outside of who they are. Take Josh for example. He said his big mistake was not being himself in Denver, instead trying to be more like Belicheat. That's something I see people struggling with all of the time. You see success and you try and duplicate it, w/o remaining true to yourself. I would be afraid that he's aby PaulButcher59 - RamsFootballFans.com

If a guy like Petersen was ever hired as head coach, I don't like the idea of a personality like Rex on the coaching staff. He will wear on you and I don't think he would be sustainable long term anyway.by PaulButcher59 - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotebigjimram21 Like the idea of Petersen. Just need to keep Williams as DC.(5 years 5 million should do it) Offer Petersen 7.5 per X 5 he takes it , I hope.

He`s the QB whispering head coach and offensive mind Goff the Rams desperately need. Cali guy born and raised. Schooled at Cali where he has a degree in both psychology and education and played QB Was an offensive positions coach for 14 years before he became an OC for 5 years, and has been a head coach for 11 years.

How often do we hear about Bellichick`s misses? Hardly ever since he`s always winning. But he has his misses of course. The dudes that are losing are going to be criticized more for their misses because their are more misses and they are losing. I guess its that simple. On this board however, I don't want to totally discount arguments from the other side or else you are deemed a hater and cby PaulButcher59 - RamsFootballFans.com
He may have to wait another 5 years for Bellichick to be done in New England to take over the GM role. Kroenke has been a big fan of the Patriots way.by PaulButcher59 - RamsFootballFans.com

Quotelaram Because there isn't a GM dead or alive that hasn't had misses. Paul you did a good job of showing the player personnel decisions he's made to construct that team.

QuoteRampage2K- Not exactly a list you want to be part of.... "10 worst contracts in FA in 2016" Three of them are Raiders..... Just one man`s opinion.

QuoteBarf33 No disrespect but you are conveniently not listing any of McKenzie's misses. And there were plenty. Again I live here. I'm actually around that organization a bit because many Saturday's I work the visitor's locker room @ the Colliseum. Let's just say McKenzie wasn't on many Christmas card lists.

QuoteRams43 Mark Davis hired McKenzie and turned over a terrible team and cap situation to him as GM. Kroenke hired Fisher as de facto GM and turned over a terrible team to him. Clearly, Davis made the better hire. Look at it this way for just a moment. What if Fisher had the title of GM, rather than HC? How would you describe his "GM" results? Especially compared to McKenzie?by PaulButcher59 - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteBarf33 Bottom line they drafted Carr and Cooper that has now turned around their franchise and saved McKenzie's job. Any other directed credit on how the Raiders did it is garbage IMO.
