You say that Wentz is better, has a stronger arm, etc., than JG. Based on what evidence? Since when have strong arms been the key to QB success? Brains, reading D's, and leadership qualities play vital roles for a QB. I don't claim to know why Wentz has fallen from favor. But, clearly, the NFL (and the Rams) think more of JG than Wentz, and they had Wentz for several months. So, ratherby RockRam - RamsFootballFans.com
JG is an excellent grab for the Rams as a back up QB. He is very accomplished, has seen every kind of D, has delivered in big moments, been on the biggest stage. He is the definition of systems oriented, game manager QB. Perfect as a back-up. A guy who won't win the game for you, but won't lose it for you either. Rams fans don't like him mostly from an emotional level, because I don't thinkby RockRam - RamsFootballFans.com
If the OG pickup is as good as advertised then my Oline wish list has been fulfilled. Rams will be able to run at anybody, and protect Stafford from early pressure on passing downs. Probably will help in Red Zone making near-goal line play calling more balanced.by RockRam - RamsFootballFans.com
Cmon. You said deadly and then pretend like you said dangerous? Besides that, dangerous is a hugely wide ranging term that is in the eyes of the beholder. Football has its dangers. So does riding a bicycle. I watched as a pro baseball player had a piece of a broken bat go through his neck. So is baseball to be labeled dangerous? And so anyone playing it ought toby RockRam - RamsFootballFans.com

I suspect the JJ and Witherspoon are wanted back for their vet leadership as much as they are for their on field play. Witherspoon played well last year. JJ, I don't really know. He looked awfully average to me. Wouldn't mind having either of them back, but for me Witherspoon is easily the better guy to keep, but only for a cap friendly price, maybe something like 2 years $11 mil.by RockRam - RamsFootballFans.com
Please. No handwringing over this. The Rams are only one side of the equation. They simply do not control the process. The players and their agents have the greater odds of getting the best contract by going to FA. Of course, FAs can at times overplay their hands. But, again, what is a team to do about that? What could be more fair than for the Rams and player to agree that by going FA, tby RockRam - RamsFootballFans.com
And I know that's the kind of guy Snead and McVay covet. The Pats used to use the same formula and guys who didn't test off the charts turned out to be some of their best players.....because they were football players, not test artists.by RockRam - RamsFootballFans.com
Good grief. Do the commenters really have to speak that way? Have their adjectives and adverbs been reduced to the grand total of one? As far as I'm concerned it sure doesn't raise their standing as analysts. They sound like 7th graders.by RockRam - RamsFootballFans.com
I don't want to see the Rams spend too much, but they absolutely need a vet TE on the game day roster. Who, exactly, that is I don't know. But I suspect we're looking in the $3mil range. And a better blocker than receiver.by RockRam - RamsFootballFans.com
Wilson is going to be gone. There are no 2 ways about it. And Denver is going to be hit with a massive $85 mil dead cap charge, that at best they can spread out over 2 seasons....this year and next. Even with spreading it out, they'll remain almost $20 mil OVER the cap. I remember thinking when Wilson got traded plus the massive contract he got, that I didn't see a way forward beyond what Petby RockRam - RamsFootballFans.com

Listened to Sirius XM and the talk was all about the serious cap situations a number of teams are in despite the huge cap increase. The more players cut, the more it ought to moderate FA costs. Theoretically.by RockRam - RamsFootballFans.com
The Rams DO have the ability to resign Dotson. Granted, some nutty team could offer him 4 years $90mil or something in which case you let him go and lick your wounds. But, that happening is pretty unlikely. But if they can get him for 4 years for $65 mil-ish (probably half of it guaranteed), they should do it. That contract will feel very reasonable in a couple of years.by RockRam - RamsFootballFans.com
This kid answers the bell. He is still developing. He is doing a good job. No, he's not an All-Pro and it is unlikely that he will be. My response to that is....so what? You can't have a line up of stars because the salary cap is meant to prevent that except perhaps for a single "all-in" season. I would be happy to see Jackson sign a 3 year deal, allowing him to have a big secondby RockRam - RamsFootballFans.com
The Rams have lucked into a terrific, young OG that fits perfectly with what the Rams want to do. Add Avila to the mix, and we have an elite pair of OGs for years to come WHEN the Rams re-sign Dotson, which they will. I expect the Rams to re-sign Shelton, but also to draft a semi-developmental LARGE Center somewhere from the comp 3rd onward. Why? Even with Shelton they are going to need a backby RockRam - RamsFootballFans.com
It kind of caught people off guard, but the Bucs cut Barrett for a $5mil cap savings. Listening to Sirius XM NFL guys, they said get ready for a bunch more of these types of cuts because despite the steep rise in the cap, several teams are in cap hell and they will have no choice but to cut some big name, big salary players because that's the only place you can cut enough to matter.

I think Hunter is a great fit. But.... he could well get the FT, just as Burns and Allen almost certainly will. But, to me, Hunter is ideal for the Rams. Maybe even better for the Rams than Burns or Allen.by RockRam - RamsFootballFans.com
The reason that most draft boards and mock drafts don't interest me is because most them look the same. Nearly everyone doing them just goes by the same hottest names, and then may slightly re-shuffle them. There's a reason NFL teams have scouting departments that they spend millions on. This is a job for real pros, and they aren't running around telling everyone how they grade players. And, theyby RockRam - RamsFootballFans.com
I don't know if there is some website that keeps track of such things, but it sure seems like the Rams lose more coaches to promotions every year than any other team, causing McVay to have to annually scramble reconstitute his staff. I wonder if this is statistically true? In most businesses if really hurts to keep losing your management to competitors. On the other hand, a fresh inflow oby RockRam - RamsFootballFans.com
She says that actually he'll work on the O side as kind of a quality control to help McVay see what the opposing D is likely to throw at him.by RockRam - RamsFootballFans.com
If he was being hired as DC there might be some legitimate griping. But when a former NFL DC is hired to essentially critique the O based from how your opponent's D might see it, key on certain things, and defend it, that's at worst neutral in its effect. I imagine McVay isn't the only guy to employ such a position. But, just as the Rams were early adopters (even pioneers) of data analyticsby RockRam - RamsFootballFans.com
I have no doubt the Rams are operating under the understanding that Bennett is a non-entity for them and will go forward as though he wasn't an option. I know the Rams are good about respecting a players' privacy.
