Rookies who are pass catchers need time to figure out the NFL. I can say "Oh no they don't look at Randy Moss and what he did as a rookie". We can find a handful, maybe 5-8 that made an impact their rookie years in the last 50 years. That's all, and so that's pretty effing close to an absolute LOL.by LesBaker - RamsFootballFans.com
More than likely the starting QB is going to miss games over the course of several seasons and having a competent guy to fill in is sometimes the difference between a losing streak and maintaining by at least not losing a few games or more in a row. I wish the Rams had kept Keenum but I get it they want to keep the draft pick on the roster. Hopefully Mannion gets to see the field in practiceby LesBaker - RamsFootballFans.com
Foot in mouth is the norm for him. He's simply tone deaf to fans desires and wants. Winning hasn't been a priority going back to the beginning of Geogia's ownership. We are fans of a team that hasn't had an owner that prioritizes winning over money and hasn't had a strong football front office for decades.by LesBaker - RamsFootballFans.com

It's not that common even in this passing era for a rookie to make a big impact even in a great system with an elite QB. Years 2 and 3 tell the tale. Same with a DB, rookies make coverage mistakes learning on the job, it's the next two years that show you what they are.by LesBaker - RamsFootballFans.com
There are a lot of people who were fans, or rather became fans, when they were wearing blue and white that post here. But those were great years too. That's the generation you and I are in, so we associate it from our childhood. The yellow and blue probably is slightly more popular because of the length of time it was used. But there is a big fan base in STL that saw the yellow and blue and pby LesBaker - RamsFootballFans.com
Seems to me that he get up to speed in two steps, that's why he is so explosive and runs away from people. Seriously if you don't think he is fast just watch the highlights from 2015.by LesBaker - RamsFootballFans.com
Austin could gain 1600 yards from the LOS and add the additional wrinkle of punt returns.by LesBaker - RamsFootballFans.com
In response to someone quoting McVay saying “You look at some of the things that Tavon Austin does with the ball, both in the run game and when he’s able to catch it as a receiver,” McVay said, via Gary Klein of the Los Angeles Times. “He’s a guy that you want to move all over the formation.” My response was: This is CRITICAL and here is why...........the attitude that all you have to do wby LesBaker - RamsFootballFans.com
I have a mental image of what you are describing but I can't imagine it's correct.by LesBaker - Bucky's Pub
That seems to push some blame off of him and onto some unknown thing or circumstance. The fact is he was an entitled thug that was violent and got pleasure out of hurting and killing. The world is a better place without him and the people in his family will be better off. So will his daughter. As far as his "fiancee" IMO she is dirt.by LesBaker - Bucky's Pub
I wish we would see you around............you were always a highlight on my trips to STL for Rams games with everyone meeting at signman's family tailgate. Those were great times, and great memories. My favorite was Hacker passing the vodka bottle.......and I will tell the rest of the story if you guys post a few of your favorites memories form those years. I'll wait. hahaby LesBaker - RamsFootballFans.com

Snead is an IDIOT if he doesn't do this.by LesBaker - RamsFootballFans.com
He gets cut and thee isn't a sniff from anyone anywhere. There is more to this than meets the eye IMO.by LesBaker - RamsFootballFans.com
Had he been playing at a big time school no way he lasts past the top 10.by LesBaker - RamsFootballFans.com
A lot of the problems fans are having stems from other places. If you name all the things fans are sick of regarding the NFL more have nothing to do with Goodell than do have to do with Goodell.by LesBaker - RamsFootballFans.com
Are spent taking several minutes to actually get out of bed. Then getting some coffee made and hoping that between that and the Metamucil the start to his day will be smooth. :lol1by LesBaker - RamsFootballFans.com
It's goooooood. Nicely said!!!by LesBaker - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRFIP Obviously we are all spit balling and none of this will come to pass but I'll just say that you've never seen or studied Darnold. Just wait though, you will soon enough. His anticipation of throws is Warner-like, his movement skills in and around the pocket remind me of Rodgers. He's the whole package if he can stay healthy. :spintounge He's Warner/Rodgers. After 10 college gaby LesBaker - RamsFootballFans.com
Not to mention its an ESPN guy interviewing ANOTHER guy who is an ESPN guy. This is how they "create". It's all "production values". Max I have told you this........it's the truth.by LesBaker - RamsFootballFans.com
I think it's unfair, or maybe a bit goofy or whatever. Not appropriate/dismissive.by LesBaker - RamsFootballFans.com
And I am willing to bet that the "graders" all end up as accurate as Mayock and Kiper. Any they are below the Mendoza Line.by LesBaker - RamsFootballFans.com
There is speculation about Kreonke being involved in the Goff selection, and the sources aren't highly trustworthy, especially the original souce. It's a rumor that Keyshawn Johnson started on his radio talk show. From there it got "reported" by other ESPN affiliates and became "news". If Kreonke did direct the deal it's contrary to how Snead said it went down starting at theby LesBaker - RamsFootballFans.com
If a FB can line up in the backfield with a RB and be an additional pass catching target, or at least a threat, because he has good hands its a PITA for defenders. If the guy they selected has good hands then it could be a great selection. I have no idea because I don't watch college ball and I've not looked at any vids on YouTube for any of the picks.by LesBaker - RamsFootballFans.com
It's never going to have his fingerprints on it, or Demoffs. Like it or not it's Sneads show mostly and McVay is the sidekick. I know you don't like either guy, and a case can be made for that but I'll reserve judgement until seeing what unfolds. You still want to use the last several years as an indicator, but you can't impartially do that IMO.by LesBaker - RamsFootballFans.com
Sorry it was tooooo easy haha. Your point is a good one, and I cannot remember ever meeting someone that was doom and gloom/negative that was happy. I have a family member like this........and it's sad to see.by LesBaker - RamsFootballFans.com
He got more and more negative over the years and when he got shut out of the building he began going over the top. It seemed he was gleeful as the Rams descended into the tailspin they did, he seemingly enjoyed it,and welcomed the losing as a reason to bash the team.by LesBaker - RamsFootballFans.com
