He had / is having a decent career. Is he an all-pro? No, but he's a starting WR. Also, not sure why you're comparing their rookie numbers. Maybe I'm confused by your post.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
It's not 1975 - QB's can play at a high level well into their late 30's and beyond. Look at Peyton Manning - who had a second life in Denver after what could have been a career ending neck surgery. Think Aaron Rogers is too old? The Jets don't. Why on earth does this 'author' compare him to Gurley? RB is the one position with, probably the shortest career window.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Ownership - non meddling and committed to spend the resources to win. It's a huge advantage.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Capable of going .500 as a starter. Not a starter but about as good as you'll get from a number 2. We didn't have anyone on our team who could even win a game last year before Mayfield. I also think Mayfield is a realistic comp. Mayfield as a rookie, I mean.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Why do we have to go there every year? Aren't they supposed to mix that stuff up?by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Can't even get the names right. 'Author' also just picked the left over starters and tacked on draft picks - what prognostication? Doesn't list a kick or punt returner. Seems to think Ronnie Rivers will stay and none of the other udfa backs will make it. Doesn't account for vet minimum players. Why even do a depth chart now, beside word count?by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Swept by the Seahawks? Not going to happen. By all rights we should have beaten them last year if not for a terrible call against ramsey. Swept by the 9-ers. Yes. Always happens, though let's wait and see if they have a functioning QB. As of now, they don't. Cards - I can see us sweeping them. They are in total rebuild and their QB is coming off an ACL so who knows where he'll be atby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Must be hard to accurately rank players based on college production if they play at 2 or 3 schools- each school sometimes a new system.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com

Hey may be physically done, as you say - but I'm not sure why you think that. Haven't read anything that points to anything other than a healthy 2023.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
None of us knows and there's really no information pointing to his imminent demise.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
There are several teams that could have used him that passed. His college career was unremarkable and there are whispers about his poor interviewing performances. You have one job - to increase your draft stock and you can't even get that right? I think people get carried away with physical attributes and running around in shorts with oohs and ahhs. It doesn't translate into nfl success anby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Who's available. And that's even IF we stick at 36.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
I don't get the fascination. I guess there's not much to write about until the draft, but still. I read something on Deadspin yesterday - the author did a search and found 38,500 mock drafts! Articles about who the team might be targeting - great. Draft profiles - for sure. Draft boards - especially Deadpool's - the best. But mock drafts? Why? Why would I read something that is 100 peby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Look at what the Broncos gave up for Wilson and this looks like a bargain.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Rogers and Brees. Some of those were not stacked squads - some years more than others. But every year you knew they'd be there with a shot at the end of the season.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com

You list a lot of disgruntled players who were cast aside - and yet, most of them left and went on to...not much. Goff you could argue looks to be on the upswing this year, but he has, at times, been a turnover machine in Detroit. Woods I hated to see go and it was a mistake - but one of those 'worse for both teams' things as he didn't do much in Tenessee. Matthews was done and done when he leby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Don't understand why every team has to add a black jersey when black is not part of the team colors. Do middle aged team execs think it looks 'cool' for the kids. It doesn't. And it doesn't look 'tough'. Maybe it's a holdover from the 80's when teams switched from bright colors to black - like the Kings and a lot of prominent hip hop stars wore white sox, and raiders stuff. The 2 teams whoby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
The whole season is a dark blob in my mind, but I can't recall him making any explosive plays with the ball in his hands. Mostly remember him falling down seemingly every time the ball hit him in the hands. Though for a while he was having balance issues.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
This doesn't seem right.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
2 years ago was probably their year, but 'they had their chance and they blew it!' Last year they got a home playoff game and wilted against the Bengals. They haven't had a running game outside of Josh Allen and their head coach hasn't shown much outside the regular season. They should go all in while Allen is under his current contract and young and add some big pieces and go all out. Thenby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
But we have no idea what went down. What was expected of him and what he delivered. It's possible that he could go to Pittsburg and be a big nothing. He's had a solid career but not dominant. He had one amazing year in Jacksonville - but that was 2015. Maybe he's on the downside, physically? I have no idea. We also haven't seen a season's worth of his replacement. THEN is the time toby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Why are so many assuming Stafford's only got a year left? Rogers is 39 and, the Jets are trying to get him - likely assuming he'll play at least 2 more years. Peyton Manning came back from a severe neck injury at 36 and went to 2 super bowls and won one - playing for 4 years for the Broncos. Stafford got hurt last year - yes. he's been banged up over the years. But he's proven to be reisby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
That's one aspect these 'grades' are missing. (Also - how do you grade something the second it happens and not look back on it at the end of the year?). Any-who, why give snaps to an underachiever who won't be on the team in '24 when they can give the developmental snaps to a young receiver - especially if they draft one. Receiver usually takes a year or 2 to develop. Keeping him because thby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Lots of 'reason's why he wasn't productive. Yes, the protection was terrible. But what did he do when he did have the ball in his hands...fall down. Comparing him to OBJ is ridiculous. He's a field stretcher and game changer. Robinson was an overpaid possession receiver.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Sounds like you're going to tune out for fear of exposing yourself to hopeless despair. See you in 3 years.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Woods workload was diminished - yes, it was - because they signed OBJ. Doesn't mention that does he. They let Sony Michele just walk away. Yes, they didn't want to keep a back with bad knees who gutted out the season with us. They did get rid of Brandin Cooks quickly - but he's been with a lot of teams in a short amount of time - why did all those teams let him walk? Also, maybe the Rams didby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
The author rips off several home runs - whitworth, woods, obj, etc. so calling out one big miss (Cook and Finnegan could play a bit) isn't a great way to judge years of signings. Author doesn't mention which GM's have never signed a player who wasn't as productive as hoped for.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
I would say Robinson was overrated when we got him. He didn't exactly move the needle for the offense. Skowronek can do basically the same thing at fraction of the cost. His hands have gotten better and he's probably a better blocker than Robinson. Could, gasp, Tutu, be on the upswing in his career?by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
