At least kick the tires on him, as they say. Perhaps being waived might have humbled him a bit as well. Offer him an incentive laden contract to actually gauge his interest in coming to the Rams. Doesn't hurt to at least inquire, anyway. Joe C.by brgjoe - RamsFootballFans.com
Normally I am the person who says, "Hey, they're just draft picks. If your team is close to being put over the top by trading for a proven player, go for it!" But that is a lot of draft capital for a trade for that position. He's one of the best out there. No question. But is he THAT much better to trade all those assets to upgrade that position? And he's looking for a new contrby brgjoe - RamsFootballFans.com
So very saddened to learn that. My sympathies and prayers go out to you and your family during this terrible time. Joe C.by brgjoe - RamsFootballFans.com

Thank you for all the hard work you all do, and continue to do for us. One question though, so once everything is moved, it will be pretty much as it is now? That is, we won't have to create accounts once again, correct? Thanks again for everything. Best of luck to you on the server move!by brgjoe - RamsFootballFans.com
You and Deadpool are definite treasures on this board. Always enjoy your thoughts/insights. Thanks for posting your thoughts on this Rams draft as well. Am encouraged by a lot of what you said. Thanks again for taking the time to gather all this information and post it here for us! Joe C.by brgjoe - RamsFootballFans.com
I was wondering what your thoughts were on this Rams draft. Boy did we ever get an answer! Fantastic stuff, as always. I did wonder about picking up a running back when I thought they had other needs. But the more I hear about this guy, the more I like him. It looks like the Rams pretty much stayed true to their board. So I can't really fault most of their choices. Thanks again fby brgjoe - RamsFootballFans.com
It's so great to see you post your thoughts on the draft process each and every year. Great stuff. And it helps fill the void between this time of year and training camp. Even more so this year! As for the rankings, I like both the total number (i.e. regardless of position) and then the one where you break it down by position. It's nice to cross reference those from time to time. Thanksby brgjoe - RamsFootballFans.com
Not only for gathering all that info on so many players, but posting their thoughts on here. It's always a great read and I think both of them for their fantastic contributions to this Rams board. <tips cap> Joe C.by brgjoe - RamsFootballFans.com
Thank you once again, Deadpool. Great stuff once again. <printing now>by brgjoe - RamsFootballFans.com
Thanks once again for taking the time to post your knowledge on here for us. Great work. I think Hurts will surprise some people. I love his drive, athleticism, and his body of work. I think his throwing has improved since going to Oklahoma. He'll need to be in the right system for his skill set. But I think if he is, he will excel. Anyway -- great work once again! Really enjoy readby brgjoe - RamsFootballFans.com

And J-Lo is in her 50's. Wow. Just wow. Both looked great. And if people had a problem with the show, I am pretty sure most TV's have remote controls that come with them. So use it to change the channel. ;) Joe C.by brgjoe - RamsFootballFans.com
So happy to hear the news about Rev. Ike! He was certainly deserving, but I did worry that he would be overlooked because he wasn't a "rah rah me me!" sort of guy. He didn't bring attention to himself like so many others. So am glad that he finally got inducted. Great guy, great player, and so well deserving. Congratulations Mr. BRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCE!

<raises hand> At least I do. But for some strange reason, lots of people still watch this thing. It still gets good ratings. So as long as that is the case, I think they will continue having the game. But I certainly don't watch anymore. The last one I saw was when Terry Bradshaw was QBing the AFC. That was a few moon's ago. :) Joe C.by brgjoe - RamsFootballFans.com
Probably have never met you personally, but I can tell you are a good, hardworking dude who is a very caring and humble person. And I always love your posts on here -- especially the scouting part. I don't get a chance to see a lot of the players you talk about, and so when I see your evaluations of them, they're really golden to me. Sorry for the tough year.

My settlement was $300. Original PSL holder who moved up and got a more expensive one a couple of years into their stay here. Definitely helps with the January Xmas shopping bills needed to pay off. ;) Joe C.by brgjoe - RamsFootballFans.com
The Redskins are a circus. And he's one of the top clowns employed there. No way I would want him anywhere near the Rams. Definitely hope these are just totally made up sort of rumors to spur clicks and stuff. Joe C.by brgjoe - RamsFootballFans.com
And they have pretty much admitted to it via their statement released yesterday. Given some of their past, I wouldn't take what they said at face value at all. I want to see what's on those videos. That is, if the evidence hasn't been disposed of already. It all may be an innocent mistake. But with this team's past history, I want this matter to be thoroughly investigated. And theby brgjoe - RamsFootballFans.com
...that the league is essentially saying with all these rules to protect the QB, "We must stop having our star quarterbacks getting hurt! Protect these franchise QB's!" And yet, even with all these rules in place, the QB's this season are seemingly dropping like flies. It's kinda amazing to me that Tom Brady at his age is still healthy and playing.

Just for me, I like the fully threaded view. Makes it easier to read and pick and choose which responses I wish to read first. But regardless of which you go with, I will continue to read and view this forum. Thanks for all the hard work you and the other admin's do each and every day here.

All of the teams in the division will likely be better. Especially the Seahawks if they can ever get their OL in top form. Because I still think they are the greatest rival to the Rams. They played them tough last year, anyway. The Whiners/Cardinals will be improved as well. Though the Cardinals still are a long ways away, I do believe. Their offensive line was pretty bad last year and Iby brgjoe - RamsFootballFans.com
Like RamBeau said, it was such an unexpected run. In the past, the Blues have had really good teams. I believe won the President's Cup on multiple occasions. Only to fizzle in the first couple of rounds in the playoffs. This time the team wasn't expected to make such a deep run. They fired their coach in November or December. They played like crap even after that. I think they were stiby brgjoe - RamsFootballFans.com
Really, really appreciate all this info you researched and posted. Just great stuff. Thanks again for all the information! Will make following the draft that much more enjoyable. Joe C.by brgjoe - RamsFootballFans.com
I feel bad for all the coaches/players who put so much time into it, just to see it fold without even completing one full season. I guess what I don't get is why the NFL didn't support it more. Sure some of the games were televised on the NFL network. Though many times I had trouble finding out when the games were on. I think NFL could have promoted it more. And it would have been a relatiby brgjoe - RamsFootballFans.com
I also liked you gave Khalen Saunders (from my alma mater, WIU) some love too. He really turned some heads at the Senior Bowl with this athleticism. He would look good on that Rams DL. I also agree OL help is needed desperately. I could easily see a couple of picks (or more) addressing it. Great that Whitworth is back for another year, but who knows how much longer he would want to keep plby brgjoe - RamsFootballFans.com
