QuoteNewMexicoRam Rams picked center Mike Wellman ahead of him. Sadly, Montana would not have been the Montana we know if he'd gone to the Rams. He'd just be another Pat Haden or Jeff Kemp. Now, if the Rams had gotten Bill Walsh...hooboy, talk about history being re-written!by moklerman - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteEkern55 This makes a ton of sense to me. I think McVay likes Wolford because he plays like McVay did when you look at McVay’s highlights. What the Rams need is a bigger Wolford so he doesn’t get beat up.That's what I'm thinking. Minshew seems to fit that description but I trust McVay and Snead to find their guy.by moklerman - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotepromomasterj any questions?Yup, just looked at the numbers. Their OL was nothing to write home about in '19. Low '20's in rushing production and efficiency in '19 and the same again in '20. But the pass pro went from 41 sacks(7.0%) in '19 to 14 sacks(3.3%) in '20. Better QB play netted a "better" OL. IMO, the Rams OL is better than TB's and could be a top group with the righby moklerman - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotemax I have no idea if Goff will ever be good enough to get us back to the SB without everything being perfect around him, but for now I think the most important thing is bolstering the interior OL. When you've got a pure drop back QB, you have got to have strength up the middle. Look at all the drop back QBs that have done well, they all had good Centers. And their GM/HC made sure they haby moklerman - RamsFootballFans.com
And they went from 64% in '19 to 57% in '20. IMO, this was Goff's "one more chance" season and he failed to improve enough, or at all.by moklerman - RamsFootballFans.com
Quoteheadslapper Our OLine is pretty good actually. But get someone like Watson and he makes the line way better. I actually think the quickest way to get make the line better is to get a confident, mobile QBI agree. And I don't agree that they can just go out and build a "stud" OL. If it were that easy, they would have done it. Our OL was top 10 in rushing and passing and wasby moklerman - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteSpeed_Kills hey I can’t sleep anyhow they are discussing in detail that trading Jared Goff after June first means the Rams would only eat $6 million, rather than the $22 million if they trade him before they go further that the trade can be agreed to prior to June 1st but just wouldn’t be official before then It’s not ideal to obtains QB after June 1st obviously but just listeningby moklerman - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteNewMexicoRam Kupp wasn't in the game. To be fair, Kupp wasn't in the wins in '18 either, but that's a big weapon that was missing. I'm actually thinking positively about the Rams future.That's a fair point but it isn't like Goff is night and day different depending on Kupp being in the lineup.

Quotemax Well, we're gonna see what Dak is worth very soon. And you are worth whatever someone is willing to pay you.I would much rather the Rams let McVay hand pick a college QB and build up the rest of the team. In today's NFL, it's the most prudent form of team building. Finding a viable QB in the draft just isn't the unicorn hunt that it used to be and I happen to want to see what a handby moklerman - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteSpeed_Kills that's why the coach is upset too I mean we have all of this data and I do think some people just ignore itSince '18, it's been a long list of everyone but Goff. Gurley wasn't 100%, Watkins wasn't good enough, Cooks wasn't good enough, the OL wasn't actually any good, the OL was just bad, the OL coach was bad, the TE wasn't good enough, etc. It's always something or someoneby moklerman - RamsFootballFans.com
Many are suggesting that we need WR, C, G, LT, LB, etc. to advance in the playoffs next year and I agree that those positions will need replacing or can be improved. But, if all else remained equal, this year's team could have easily been a 12 win team with more production/fewer turnovers at the QB position. And that wouldn't have meant an elite replacement like Watson or what have you. Probabby moklerman - RamsFootballFans.com

I think any decent DC is going to be fine if he has a healthy Donald and Ramsey. Not to say that Staley didn't do "anything" but the GB game and season in general showed that it was a lot more about Donald disrupting things, allowing others to benefit and Ramsey taking away their top target.

QuoteHeadslap75 Moklerman I know how you feel about Goff and I take no exception to that I don't think he's elite or great I do think he's very unfairly disrespected So statements like 41 games of ineptitude are just false your fantasy or whatever.

Quoteferragamo79 IDKThe whole things seems very reminiscent of our last #1 overall QB but while I agree that both have failed to produce like a #1 should, I don't think their situations were equitable.
