QuoteoldschoolramfanFYI.....I told all my Ram friends for 20 years that they would be back in L.A. and I was right........Just a thought. Been saying it since they left. The contract loophole would be exploited. . . And they called me "insane".... Teeheheheheheeeheheheheehehheheby Old Goat - RamsFootballFans.com
And this team doesn't flop without him and more than they went to the playoffs with him. Capitalize now while he holds max value. Someone will step up and pay. They always do.by Old Goat - RamsFootballFans.com
He's under contract and can be traded at will. Get a bevy of pics and ship him off to someone like the Browns or Jets. What he's doing is tearing down the chemistry this team is trying to build. Work, Football... life- I don't care how talented you are. When you place yourself above the group, above the Team, you immediately make yourself expendable.

QuoteRams43 Spruce caught 100% of his targets. Six for six. For a team that had butterfingered receivers for a rookie QB last year. Yet, competition is such that he now looks like a long shot to make the 53. What a change in our WR corps in one offseason. His targets were primarily third and long check-down passes. He's never going to be a 100yd game guy, but that doesn't mean he can'tby Old Goat - RamsFootballFans.com
McVay called Gurley the Rams’ “best player,” which is a strong statement to make with No. 99, Aaron Donald, on the other side of the ball. I don't really see McVay as a guy that throws out flippant statements like that. Maybe either a not so subtle dig on AD or a statement of things to come. Just don't see the Rams as sitting and waiting for things to come to them right now. There is a difby Old Goat - RamsFootballFans.com

Doesn't take much to get us excited anymore, does it old man? Like a poster says "Rams receiver catches a contested ball" Drool. It's gonna be a process for sure. One none of us can wait for.by Old Goat - RamsFootballFans.com
1st down- Stare down throw to McRobberts, who fell down. 2nd down- Stare down throw to McRobberts. Dropped pass. 3rd down- Stare down throw to Spruce five yards short of the marker. He catches the pass. That's one series, but I saw the same play thrown to him multiple times on third down. He was never worked in otherwise.Never said he's a world beater, but you can't make a cake out ofby Old Goat - RamsFootballFans.com
Like I said last night, I think Tavon is going to be Mr. Gadget. I agree with you that he's not going to be in the mix as a "starting" WR. But use him they will, and I think he might find a real spot in this offense.by Old Goat - RamsFootballFans.com
I think he can thrive in what he's going to be asked to do in this offense. I'm actually starting to think about the Rams having real weapons again. Kupp isn't going to Canton yet, but he has real play making ability. Throw in Sammy and Tavon and we might really have something. I'm looking for consistency. I'm looking for diversity. We really might have that now, and I'm excited about what this bby Old Goat - RamsFootballFans.com
Really wanted to see it tonight, specifically from the offense. Culture is going to be a work in process on that side of the ball. I really liked what I saw from the rookies. Everett looked like a man out there. Kupp made plays and looked like he belonged. Davis made a lot of rookie mistakes, but was the most dynamic RB on the field tonight.

Perception vs. reality. I didn't have a clue they were so close. Thanks for posting.by Old Goat - RamsFootballFans.com
Limiting him for what? Saving him for what? The die is cast with Sammy, and he's either going to stay healthy and play, or he's not. I really think this is the key that will open the field for the other chess pieces. Limiting him is putting the lid back on the pot. I just don't see it.by Old Goat - RamsFootballFans.com
Not really in a position of great leverage now. He will get big money, sure. Just not stupid money. If he blows up this season and stays healthy, that would change without a doubt.by Old Goat - RamsFootballFans.com
Well again, I was never predicting that the road to glory has just been paved. As another poster mentioned, and a point I happen to agree with, there are many factors that could go wrong along the way. McVay has much growing into this job that is just going to have to happen. Injuries could happen. North Korea could drop a nuclear bomb. Lots of things could happen, one way or the other. I'm not tby Old Goat - RamsFootballFans.com
If he comes in here and is everything everyone wants him to be, waiting until January to lock him up is what would be "stupid". You craft an incentive laden deal and get him locked up now.by Old Goat - RamsFootballFans.com

Quote9er8er Quotedzrams Quote9er8er The names change, the results stay the same. That's why it's been a demonstrably horrible FO. Maybe McVay is helping to rectify that and repair all the damage that's been done over the years that was largely cheered on here on an annual basis, but we won't know that until they start playing games. I think we've had this conversation before. Your bolded sby Old Goat - RamsFootballFans.com
Of course, we are the losers in this trade :stooges The Rodney Dangerfields of the NFL. I don't care. The Sage is working and I like it in the weeds. Filling the keg with Kool Aid at this moment. It's time for Football.by Old Goat - RamsFootballFans.com
And what I think we're seeing here is a Coach and FO working together. Before, it was just about "winning". Now there seems to be a plan to achieve that. Good stuff.by Old Goat - RamsFootballFans.com

Because that's where he brings his greatest value. He is not and never will be a true receiver. Doesn't have the hands or the savvy to dissect defenses that way. Just not in him. And while he was successful in 2015, I don't want to see the playbook designed on formations built around him like it was then. Work him in, but he could never carry the weight and I wouldn't ask that of him now.by Old Goat - RamsFootballFans.com
I think McVay can't have enough playmakers on this team right now. Let 'em fight it out. He'll never be accused of not feeding Goff and giving him the best possible chance to succeed. Not giving this team the chance to succeed. And I don't think they are even done making moves yet. Let next off season sort out who stays and who goes. This crew will have '17 to make their cases.by Old Goat - RamsFootballFans.com

Fish and Co were worse than the garbage O the Bills trotted out. We'd have had a disgruntled receiver McVay would have had to rehabilitate. Like I posted long ago, the car wasn't the issue. Old man Fish would have parked it in the garage like a Grand Tarino and put a cover over it to collect the dust. Now we have this kid coming to LA to work with an Offensive Talent in McVay and getting a frby Old Goat - RamsFootballFans.com
