Quotepoplarbluffman .biggest predictor why 1/2 of all 1st rd picks fail is their personality/mental makeup. When I study a player I read their bio and watch every interview I can find, watch them interacting on sidelines with other players/coaches before watching them play..after a decade or so patterns emerge. Trends develop. #1 predictor of future success is from the neck up with these kids.by -X- - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteGreatRamNTheSky Anyone else find it curious that Fisher 1. Unequivocally states Keenum is still the guy but goes onto 2. State that Goff will get more reps and that 3. Keenum doesn't really need the reps? He said that (and qualified it on his show) because the bye week is the time where they get all of the backups extra reps. It doesn't surprise me that Keenum doesn't really need the repsby -X- - RamsFootballFans.com
On the Jeff Fisher Show posted on the 24th, Fisher reaffirmed your's and waterfield's opinion on this. He said <verbatim> "When the Organization needs to move in that direction , we'll do so; but right now, Case is our guy."by -X- - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteLesBaker We are adept cheaters. And we have Tom Brady. When Brady retires we will see how the whole Patriot Way thing works. I'm skeptical is what I'm sayin'. It's more than that. As much as I despise everything about this current team, the model is a good one. But you're right. The Patriot Way might be synonymous with 'buckets of suck' after those two are gone.by -X- - RamsFootballFans.com
I agree that he wants to win. I don't think that's disputable. I also agree that he wanted to provide some stability to the HC position in an attempt to mirror 'The Patriot Way'. But I don't think that's the only reason he hired Fisher. It was also the way the Patriots mold unwanted or otherwise unheralded talent into players who flourish in the system that's appealing to Kroenke, and Fisher sby -X- - RamsFootballFans.com
QuotePHDram You act as though there is some secret message board campaign to keep Fisher employed with the Rams. Is it not possible that people just post their honest opinions? Made ya look. I agree with you.by -X- - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotepromomasterj If that's the case it's potentially bad in different ways. If it's true, then there's some kind of cover-up going on and things are worse than we thought. If it's not true, and just the case of a disgruntled coach (someone who loves working with Case) then the head coach has lost control of his staff. It's all made up so that people will throw around hypotheticals like thisby -X- - RamsFootballFans.com

Quotemax At one time I was posting on 5 message boards, now I'm down to 2. This board is seeing an influx of posters from other boards. Why is that? It's because those other boards are shrinking. Now you're saying this board is growing, despite saying earlier that message boards are fading due to Twitter? Seems your real issue is boards that don't suit your needs as opposed to the declinby -X- - RamsFootballFans.com

Quotemax We'll see in time. There are plenty more resources to get breakdowns now that are more unbiased and accurate than message boards. There are also podcasts that are taking off. I know I spend more time on other venues for Rams info, analysis, and commentary and that cuts into time spent on message boards. I know several ex posters who got too frustrated with the biased Fisher sby -X- - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotemax I don't see Fisher coming back in 2017. It's time for a new coach, new vision, and new image. Fisher has grown stale. I doubt 8-8 saves him. But I doubt even more that he gets 8 wins. We are moving on from Fisher fellas. I saw something on twitter that said message boards are fading cause people are getting information faster in other venues now and the bias on message boardsby -X- - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRFIP...I don't see ANY mention of this "Thomas to Rams" trade ANYWHERE on twitter so excuse me while I call BS on the whole thing. Exactly. If you take the time to read the article and follow its source, it quotes an article by Rams Wire wherein they *ask* if the Rams *should* trade for Thomas.

Or they can stick to their own plan and ignore his demands. They don't owe him an explanation either. I'm relatively sure that's what they'll end up doing, since they've also ignored everyone else's identical demands.by -X- - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteJamesJM is as wedded to Fisher as most here think... what I do think is that he's convinced he made the right choice, and that extenuating circumstances have prevented success so far so 'rash', (in his mind), moves are more likely to cause failure than success. Put more clearly, I don't think Kroenke has a man-crush on Fisher. - JamesJM I think you're right. I also think he made thatby -X- - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotewv ramI was very impressed with what he showed in preseason, myself. His physical abilities were there to see. Granted, he was 'mentally' lost.

QuoteznI know what you mean, in general. But in the middle of all that he made a few "wow not many can do that" passes that had me expecting great things, ONCE he gets more consistent and up to speed overall. .. Oh yeah, for sure. That's why I said you can just tell he'll be a very good QB. Eyeball test and all that. But the mental part of it was painfully evident ... to me,by -X- - RamsFootballFans.com
