Probably by the league - they'll have to work this out with the Union or there won't be a 2021 season. We've got a ways to go before the real number is settled on with clauses to protect the top earners.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
I think that would go a long way to helping the inside running game. Our O-line is above average. And is as good as Tampa's so I don't subscribe to the - 'we can't win it all' with this o-line theory'. Really our O-line is not that far off from '18's - Blythe was a starting guard, Sullivan was solid - but not exactly a road grader and got pushed around a bit too. Whit and Havs - both stillby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
KC had to reshuffle it's entire line because of an injury to Fisher in the Buffalo game. They weren't up to it. This is apples to oranges and has nothing to do with the state of the Rams O-line. PFF season rankings had the Rams 2 spots ahead of the Bucs at #3. Of course we didn't have Tom Brady. We need a more physical center, some more maturity and consistent play from Edwards and Corbeby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
I don't buy the Rams O-line is subpar narrative at all. They were a good unit when measured across an entire season. You want to cherry picks a few sub-par games - you can do that with any unit in the league. Some on here make it out like Goff was running for his life on every snap and the numbers just don't support that. They were good enough - our QB wasn'tby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Seems like some posters - after watching last night's game - think we are doomed next year because we changed QB's, kept our lousy O-line and will surely crash and burn. I had much different takeaways from the game. 1. The Bucs O-line played well, and they were one of the better lines in the league - but we were ranked 2 spots above them in the PFF rankings. Our O-line is at least asby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
You can't be serious? This is a dumpster fire of a team that fired the one good coach they had in the last decade. The ownership is terrible. The new coach looks like an SNL skit. Please. The Lions would kill to have McVay as a head coach.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
3 losses against teams with losing records. One against one of the worst teams in the league. Why did the Giants and Tampa wins come down to defense putting an end to comebacks? I count - 49'ers twice, Seahawks once, Miami, and the Jets at least. That's 5 bad games. I'm not the only one who thinks Goff regressed. Defensive coordinators thought so too. The numbers say it also. Iby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
They gave him a massive pile of cash - a big mistake for a RB. But he got his - how can he be surprised that they wanted to move on from him when it's clear to everyone that he will never be the same player he once was. His numbers in Atlanta were underwhelming. In 2 or 3 years, if Goff is a middle of the pack QB on a struggling Detroit team - will he be bitter? Or thankful he made as muby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
For Stafford to Rams? Cards with Arians and Palmer had a lot of success and Palmer got a chance to re-boot his career.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
That doesn't let him off the hook for agreeing to pay him - big mistake. If he had been the coach in 2016, maybe the Rams don't pick him. Still head-scratching that he agreed to go all in on the contract. Obviously Snead and Demoff were on board - but McVay must have given his approval. Did he think he could 'fix' him? In the end, McVay wants 'his guy' - I think you'll see the same withby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Kupp is an elite slot receiver. Woods and Jones have similar skill sets and play outside. The only trade that makes sense is trading Woods to someone and signing Jones. Why would you trade your slot receiver, and one of the best in the league when Woods is not even in the top 10 for his position (at least this year)?by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Not sure why you constantly go after posters with a difference of opinion. It's a very passive aggressive attacking tactic. I don't agree with you so I'm wrong/ mistaken, don't understand your point. And so you make the same point over and over in posts hoping it will sink into other's thick skulls. So much fun. Sigh...by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Im guessing he was more of an emergency QB - he could hand off, throw some short passes for a quarter or 2. They didn't have anyone else. Bortles? He'd been in the building for like 3 days. Perkins - a raw rookie off the practice squad? I don't think they expected Wolford would get cheap shotted in the first quarter. And you watch that game and it was a miracle Goff completed anything andby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
So at the end of the season - Bellicheck unceremoniously dumps players - but he doesn't laugh at interviewers so that's alright? Who cares how coaches and GM's act in an interview or what decisions an NFL franchise makes with players its' paying a lot of money too? I would be much more offended by things the Texans and their owners did - trying to fine players who kneeled for the anthem andby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Look at a guy like Donald - he's working his hands constantly with MMA techniques, weight training like a madman every chance he gets. When you're skinny, slow footed, and go down easily - you can improve those areas with hardwork and intense off-season physical training. You think Brady doesn't work harder on himself now than he did when he was 26? This is what drove me crazy about Buby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
For me, and I was a Goff fan for a while - I trust McVay / Snead. I've spent years watching this franchise founder with no direction, poor coaching hires, bad drafts, horrible on-field performance and on and on. To me McVay is a ray of sunshine in dark times. 3 playoff appearances in 4 years. For a team that was a dumpster fire for over a decade. A complete overhaul in culture. Is he cocky,by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
I seem to remember him dogging Bruce for his hamstring issues when DV first came on board. Apparently Bruce wasn't 'insulted' and really took his game to the next level.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
He seems like more of a fit for the Goff / Short passing game. Pretty big contract. Maybe he will thrive in the 'new' offense. He seems to be a very talented player with good hands, can use his physicality, blocks well. But it's a lot of Money. Kupp is exactly what you want in the slot - more elusive after that catch than woods, or any other receiver on the roster right now. Not sure they'by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
'Disrepesctful" 'mean' 'snickering' - Seems like there's a lot being read into all this. How has Bellicheck handled his players not named Brady - even the star players?. My way or the highway. He will trade or cut anyone - any time he wants. No questions asked. So what if he's stoic on camera - is that more respectful? How about the Texans tossing Deandre Hopkins out for nothingby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
It's been explained in many posts. It's a date on a piece of paper. It's completely unrealistic from a trading standpoint that your starting QB - the leader of your offense wouldn't show up until June 2nd. Not going to happen.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
On paper and tape? A much better scouting report, game tape, etc. Anyone past the 3rd round who Rams would prefer as a developmental QB?by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Enough with the Minshew and Darnold madness. And Stafford looks an awful lot like the kind of QB that is disappearing from the league (I think you discussed this in another post). Pocket passer with a big arm, not really making plays off script. Really doesn't move the needle from Goff, it would seemby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com

Our O-line got pushed around in that game - it's arguably worse, personnel-wise than that 2018 team. The center of our offense that year - Gurley - had a bad wheel and was ineffective. So our all-in just wasn't good enough. Not sure we're one player away from hoisting the lombardi.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
He's not exactly a proven winner and he's been in the league a long time. Feels more like a sideways move.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Cowherd has a good point about Stafford - over a dozen years in the league - name one signature win? One big playoff victory?by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
We tried the big splash, all chips in thing before and it got us to the big game, but not over the top. The last 2 years has kind of been trying to recover from the draft pick and contract splurge. Not sure I want us to go down that road again.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Teams put players on the spot all the time. You think Rogers felt loved by the packers when they drafted another QB and passed on wr's? I think he handled the 'distraction' pretty well. You assume that these are high school kids who will pout when things don't go their way. This is a business and whether you start or get paid is tied to performance. That's it. McVay and Snead are stirring tby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
The 2 are joined. Bradford got chances / bounced around because he had a giant bag of money from the Rams already banked and could take a little less at each stop.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
