Quotezn Quotemax thats the bottom line isn't it? We all have opinions whether Fisher would have done just fine if he wasn't fired. The bottom line is that he failed miserably getting the offense to be anywhere near where it is now. False premise---I never say Fisher would have done well if not fired, that's not the issue. In fact it's irrelevant. The issue is being factual about whatby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteLMU93 Maybe I'm wrong, but if I'm the Rams I am getting Donald and Cooks locked up in August and letting Joyner play out 2018. If he plays very well then fine, tag him again.

QuoteRams_81 Gurley and Donald are the 2 best players. But it is amazing how he went from a player that many didn't think could make it in the NFL after a horrific rookie season to somebody saying he is the Rams best player.

Choosing Goff over AD to be that “one player” makes perfect sense to me. QB’s trump any other position. AD is the better football player, but Goff is the most important Ram player. Two things that are not mutually exclusive. The test is to ask ourselves this question. Which player lost to season ending injury would be most damaging? It’s not even close. We can win games without AD. I’m nby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com

That's where Wentz has a significant advantage over Goff...which may be attributable to the type of systems they played in college. 33% completions on passes of 31+ yards. Anything above 25% in that rangeby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
