QuoteLesBaker Obviously, players can improve, especially young QB's. I think you are underselling CK, he's a solid backup and game manager. Well , looking at his stats above it is debtable he is not even that. Go RAms!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!by dodgerram - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteLesBaker Especially a QB. :spintounge Sure a Player can improve. Even a QB. :stooges But CK is not a newbie in this league and his limitations are obvious to see. Even the Rams once before did not see very much in him or they would not have put him on the PS some time back. If the Rams would think so highly of him as some on this board try to make it out they would not have sold the fby dodgerram - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteramBRO I'm just throwing in Prescott because, of all the drafted QB's this year, he has arguably performed the best - albeit behind a very good O-line. But consider the Rams retaining all of their picks and being able to draft the following: 15 - LaQuan Treadwell (WR) 43 - TJ Green (FS) 45 - Mackensie Alexander (CB) Keep in mind, those are picks based solely on known needs headedby dodgerram - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteCeeZar I’m not going to defend Fisher here or argue that the team is not well-run. But, regarding the Goff pick… The Rams need a franchise QB. They might be able to put together a winning record with Case, but I doubt he’ll ever be the guy to make this team a perennial playoff team that can challenge for rings. So how long are you going to wait to get that franchise QB? Let’s assume thby dodgerram - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteGreatRamNTheSky I see a veteran coach and GM who have worked their butts off to put talent on this team. I see a team that has had no luck in regards to two areas. 1. A veteran QB who can stay healthy and play good football 2. Competent receivers who don't freaken drop the ball all the freaken time. Other then those two areas this coach and GM have put together a very solid team. Rby dodgerram - RamsFootballFans.com
It is a good post. Especially the Point about the constant losing finally getting to us fans. So true. One Thing I disagree with: You call it bad luck at the QB Position for Fisher. I call it bad decisions. From Bradford to Foles to Keenum and now to Goff. IMHO Fisher just does not have a good Hand when it Comes to offense in General and QB in particular. I could live with him as the HCby dodgerram - RamsFootballFans.com
Despite all those high premium draft picks and millions spent on free agents Has any HC in the NFL ever survived such a stretch of futility? Just for some perspective. Go rams!by dodgerram - RamsFootballFans.com

Quotezn Quotedodgerram QuoteRams43 They're thinking Big Picture and Long Term, dodger. That's the short answer. They see a 15 year franchise QB in Goff, once he gets his feet on the ground. Lots of playoff games. Maybe a SB, or two. Such things are worth a lot of draft picks for a team already on the cusp. That's my take, anyway.

What this is : It is about Fisher and Snead not doing a good Job of bringing a roster together that can win NOW. They are always Building for the future. Again they are the youngest Team. The excuse for yet another Season without a winning record is already cemented. If they think this roster was good enough to win with Keenum there was no Need to draft Goff giving up all those picks.
