Yessir. I think he's been in "Injury Management" phase for awhile now, and it'll be that way until he retires. Regardless, Kupp still has gas in the tank. Thank god for Puka, or we'd be having a real conversation. For now, I don't see the Rams in panic mode. Draft Luke McCaffrey and call it good.by Old Goat - RamsFootballFans.com

Sickening. I never got the GG pick. Another one of those times we were trying to be smarter than everyone else...by Old Goat - RamsFootballFans.com
I'm with you. It seems that's we've had technicians for so long, we forgot how a physical O line can set the tone. Watching Avila highlights gives me goosebumps. I don't want to hear about WR, RB or TE. Those guys all play better when that line is dominating, so make it dominant.by Old Goat - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteRams43 It’s inevitable, the math guarantees it. We just need to be patient to find out who it will be. And if Snead can score an Edge and CB in FA beforehand? Hot Damn! Agreed, 43. The math is definitely on our side. I'm not married to any pick, and it's a good feeling. We're finally going to sit at the table on draft night and have a good crop to pick from. I'm very excited.by Old Goat - RamsFootballFans.com
Like you say, what's done is done and I think we're all on the same page here. NB may be the most expensive backup in the league, but it's best to have him here than pay for him to be someone else's backup.by Old Goat - RamsFootballFans.com
Absolutely. Signed him after he dominated the 9ers in the Championship game the year before, and he was key for the GSOT. Much love and respect.by Old Goat - RamsFootballFans.com
Witherspoon was the only guy to show up on the secondary last year. On a unit that's needs to be built back up from scratch, we could use his services again if he can be signed on the cheap.by Old Goat - RamsFootballFans.com
Well, you kind of made my point for me. Yes, we paid Noteboom like a starting LT. Problem was, he never was one. I think that qualifies as the definition of overpaid. And you and others here can call Higgs an above average TE, but you will only read those words here. It really doesn't mean we're smarter than everyone else, it's just an opinion. I think we have a guy on the squad that can at leastby Old Goat - RamsFootballFans.com
And this is my fear. I see this "Oh, they've realized they need a good O line, and if not these players, we'll just find new ones". Really? We finally have a really legit O line, and that I would overpay for. If we can overpay for mediocrity with the Higbee and Noteboom deals, we should not complain about overpaying for the crew we have in line now.

Didn't this just come up last week? No thanks.by Old Goat - RamsFootballFans.com
I'm a big fan. While others talk about a FA or drafting another one in the first round (!), we have a solid stud on the roster. Maybe with Higbee out, he'll actually be able to show what he can do. Let him start and pick up another one in the later rounds of the draft and we'll be fine.by Old Goat - RamsFootballFans.com
I agree with your points, but Coach apparently does not. Which is also why I don't see a FA receiver in our future. Resigning Robinson is kinda pointless if we are also targeting a FA receiver, cause that would be a lot of money tied up in a position that doesn't need fixing. This is a shiny toy post. If we get another receiver, it will likely be late in the draft.by Old Goat - RamsFootballFans.com

A model of consistency, and was in rythem with Staff. And we have him for a nickle. Great move to get out in front of this signing.by Old Goat - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRockRam The Rams are going a bit different way. They're going to build for a longer haul, to a degree. And giving up 2 number 1's plus an above $20mil per year contract is not the solution. One #1? Maybe if they think he is in the Von Miller/younger Khalil Mack category (I sure don't). I'm so with you on this.

This is what I love about Sean McVay. He goes right into the off-season self analyzing and makes adjustments. His ego isn't so inflated that he shys away from this process, instead he whole-heartedly embraces it. Good times to be a Rams fan, with this regime. They do things the right way.by Old Goat - RamsFootballFans.com

Sorry, but based on past results, I'd rather not. Not to mention that I am for putting the best players in the best position, not just plugging guys in because they have nothing better to do.

And I'm not playing the media card by calling him a "system QB", or inversely calling him "Brady-esque". When Stafford was thrust into this opportunity, he delivered.
