I totally agree with all your points. Goff is probably the most underrated QB in the league right now. IMO, he’s better than Purdy, yet Purdy gets the “special” label from the pundits. It’s hard to overcome a negative label.by max - RamsFootballFans.com
Not yet, not even close. You guys forget what prime Gurley was?by max - RamsFootballFans.com
Thing is, it helps a classic drop back passer a lot more than a running QB.by max - RamsFootballFans.com
He’s doing it without the best RB in the NFL like he had in Gurley. He is better now because he’s more experienced and has a better understanding of how an offense works. Goff is not a freak athlete like Mahomes or Herbert, but when you give him a relatively clean pocket he can win games for you. And even more, Goff will get better the next few years. I have little doubt that the Lionby max - RamsFootballFans.com
Goff is better now than he ever was.by max - RamsFootballFans.com
The story I remember vividly, is Knox telling Butch at a practice "you can be the goddamn king of LA if you put your mind to it." Knox saw the talent, Butch was gifted, but his head was somewhere else. Us old guys remember his pick six against the Skins in the playoffs in 1974 that sealed the win. It was a thing of beauty.

and I still don't get McVay's clock management.by max - RamsFootballFans.com
We no longer have a LT remotely close to Big Whit. If we had that we win the game. Just one salient discriminator that gives us some latitude where we can make a miscue here and there and still win. Thats why I keep saying although we should be a team like Pittsburgh, and we had them down for most of the game, we don't have enough talent to overcome sloppiness against subpar teams.

Agree. It was a very winnable game. But don't lose sight of the fact that it was an equally very losable game. We just aren't good enough this year to expect to win more of these type of games than lose them. We still have major holes in the roster that results in these loses.by max - RamsFootballFans.com
This was a salary dumping year. They made it clear that this year was the price we paid for going all in to win the SB two years ago. The fact that we are fairly competitive is about the best we could have hoped for. So I expect to lose games against mediocre teams as well as win some cause thats what we are. At best we are a mediocre team with an outside shot at making the playoffs as a WCby max - RamsFootballFans.com
Henderson is a stiff straight line one dimensional runner w zero wiggle. He’s never been anything more than a JAG. And an subpar blocker and receiver. Plus he had no training camp. If he plays he’ll average fewer than 3 ypc. There no benefit to him playing over Evans. Might as well play Higbee at RB.by max - RamsFootballFans.com
I can't believe the psychological and physical effect a freaking Rams game has on my mind and body after 50 freaking years.by max - RamsFootballFans.com
Where is Wentz now? Goff just needed a good OL. He’s about to lead the Lions to their first division title in 30 years.by max - RamsFootballFans.com
Eddie Meador was the glue that held it together. He was a star, and one of my idols on those great Rams teams of the late 60s.by max - RamsFootballFans.com
If he doesn't get hurt we win that game going away. They couldn't cover him.by max - RamsFootballFans.com
They have a tendency to not take high quality talent at a position that is strong in the draft only to reach for the same position that isn't as strong a year later. Its almost as if I can see it coming every time they do it, but they are blind to it.by max - RamsFootballFans.com
Man, how quickly we forget. He was clearly regarded at one of the top 3 defensive players of all time not too long ago.by max - RamsFootballFans.com
Long played 8 of his 11 years in the NFL with the Rams. Yet, he’s got zero connection to the organization. That’s really F***ed up. I get that he does a lot of charity stuff, but he’s one weird dude.by max - RamsFootballFans.com

The problem I see is Snead isn’t making the decisions as the lead guy. I don’t think. He is catering to what McVay says he wants. I can’t explain the Atwell pick otherwise. I mean, it was an impetuous irresponsible toy pick that smacks of McVay wanting a speed guy and not appreciating the history of such a pick. Did he talk Snead into ignoring the OL? If not, and Snead thought Atwell was a reby max - RamsFootballFans.com

Jourdan reached out to me today, and sends her regards to the herd board which she checks in on periodically. She said she feels there are lots of great Rams fans and great dialogue here. The main message here is that Jourdan wants to clarify what she was trying to say regarding the Atwell situation and asked me to relate her message to the board.
