QuoteLMU93 A 4th would be a pick in the 120s overall next year. Not worth it in my opinion. Not in a contract year for Fisher and Snead. Exactly, 93. Case Keenum is not Tom Brady, but he is a winning Ram QB. Something as scarce as hen's teeth around here for a decade. And Fisher knows that he needs to win NOW. So he's gonna hang onto Keenum as his lifeline until Goff is good and ready.by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com

By: Luke Easterling | 21 hours ago As the 2016 NFL regular season kicks off this week, there are plenty of first-year phenoms who have put themselves in position to make an immediate impact in their rookie campaign. Here are my preseason picks for the NFL’s top offensive rookies in 2016.

Ram fans will be somewhat tolerant if losing occurs in the first couple of years. I think. But on the other hand, the fans know that this roster is loaded with enough talent to post winning records immediately. Continued mediocrity will have a very short leash, IMO. Both the press and the fans will turn on the Ram FO very quickly. The Georgia Frontiere incompetence memories are lurking jby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com

Quotemax QuoteRams43Fisher should NOT be extended this year. Or ever, unless we wins 10 or more games this year. He needs to EARN his extension the old fashioned way. The only thing that we disagree upon re Fisher is that you favor replacing even now for this season. I think that we've long since passed the point of no return on replacing Fisher for the '16 season. No. I'm ok with keepingby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotemax If they announce that Fisher got a 3 year extension in the next week, will you be fine with that? That's really my main issue. I'm not gonna cry over spilt milk. Really, there is nothing to be done about past mistake except learn from them. And extending Fisher is NOT learning from past mistakes. So I will be fuming if the extend Fisher now. Where do you stand on this? I'm surby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotedzrams QuotePHDram in any event, did it work last year? while giving up a fair amount of yards, the rams ended up ranked 12th in scoring defense (with several key players sidelined). their is obviously room for improvement but its not like the scheme was an abject failure. The question of did it work last year is a non-starter for me. They simply do not have this year what they had lastby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
I think that that's probably a healthy thing. Many have chimed in with good thoughts that I've enjoyed reading. When all is said and done, I think we're generally not all that far apart in our desires and perceptions, really. Anyway, here's my abbreviated 2 cents worth... I consider Fisher just an average HC. Strong on D and ST matters, but weak on O matters. Not the best HC if one's teaby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com

Hardly a big surprise, is it? Goff's status will be a week to week decision, indefinitely. One day he will rise to become our starter. Just don't know when.by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
By: Jeff Smith | 43 minutes ago For all you Los Angeles Rams fans out there, here’s your fair warning. Not only will running back Todd Gurley not receive 30 carries per game (which would be unbelievable), but he also doesn’t want 30 carries either. In a story by Bleacher Report’s Dan Pompei, Gurley opened up about the 2016 season, the Rams running game and also his role as a pass-catcheby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com

A thoroughly enjoyable read, y'all. Especially if you're an old timer, like me.by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
I'm more puzzled by Fisher's hinting that Ayers might be back than I am of the cut in the first place. I mean, Ayers seems eminently replaceable and at a much lower salary. Sooooo... Nice take on WR, Merlin. I can see keeping the 7 until Cooper gets back. I CAN'T see why Quick is one of them. McRoberts would've been my choice. Yeah, Marquez makes a lot of sense as odd man out. He's essentiallyby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteArizonaRamFan I was a little surprised and disappointed to see Brian "Ironhands" Quick on the roster. I'm basically done seeing another year's worth of "potential" wasted on the guy. But who should we have kept instead of Quick. Ayers comes to mind because he's at least proven SOME capability in the NFL, albeit mostly for other teams, and our LB corps is questionableby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteDrew2839 I think Je is referring to Stan's stupidity in regards to sticking with an unproductive coach. I agree with that. That, IMO, is pretty stupid. I mean, why even mention a potential contract extension if they weren't considering it? That just blows my mind. I don't even understand why he still has a job, let alone an extension.

Quotejemach The only thing the Rams did in the offseason that seemed right was go after a franchise QB. Will he be one...we will see. But overall, they added little.
