That may mean something in terms of Fisher keeping his job. Most fans and media will jump all over this and Fisher will take heat. So you can think whatever you want, and you may even be right (thats not the point here), but you can't control the "non-objective" folks who just may influence Kroenke. Because those non-objective folks buy the tickets and merchandise and write the neby max - RamsFootballFans.com
Rams are trying to compensate with numbers in the secondary. Big burden on Rams DL and AO.by max - RamsFootballFans.com

At least 10 lb difference per player.by max - RamsFootballFans.com
According to my calculations, the starting Rams D is 237.7 lbs. (avg. wt.) My guess is that's got to be the lightest starting D in the NFL. Without Brockers it's less than 230 lbs. It will be interesting to see how they hold up.by max - RamsFootballFans.com
Just like Fisher's bad FA signings in 2012. It was a stop gap move, and the best thing you can say about it was they didn't spend a lot of money on a dud.by max - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRockRam Why?: Because that is Fisher's historical average. And because for whatever reason Fisher keeps churning the roster, cutting able mid-career vets and replacing them with untested rookies. So the Rams stay the youngest team in the league. Youngest teams don't win Playoff games and usually don't get there in the first place. But it is a heckuva built-in excuse to continue losing.by max - RamsFootballFans.com
My guess is 7-9 cause that's what Fisher is.by max - RamsFootballFans.com

Well, Joyner is gonna play a lot this year, if only due to necessity. He's gonna get a lot of eyeball on him now.by max - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRFL I see people write as if Fisher can count on SK's support indefinitely. Well, it's understandable. Ram fans have endured decades of frustration of ownership not holding coaches accountable. But I really don't see why anyone would assume that Fisher can count on an extension unless the team performs this year. The situation has changed, and SK will NOT stonewall the LA press and fans.by max - RamsFootballFans.com
I mentioned that in another thread weeks ago. But really the best thing for Goff would be for Fisher to get fired and for the Rams to hire a new HC who knows how to develop a young QB.by max - RamsFootballFans.com
They may have done them but I doubt it, that kind of news leaks out like footballs in New England. I think Faulk made a very valid point. If the Rams start out very poorly, I think he said 0-4, how does Kroenke answer people in LA if he extended them? Kroenke would get lambasted in the LA news cycle. And he wants to be king of LA, remember? I think Gary Klein nailed it when he said, Fisherby max - RamsFootballFans.com
Cause what you'll find is a baseline established by someone looking for conformation bias. You will never get everyone to agree on who is a good pick and who is a bad pick, but you will find anyone who wants to make the Rams look good will skew the baseline in their favor, and vice versa. We've already seen it in this thread with zn saying the Rams were 60% successful with their 2nd rounderby max - RamsFootballFans.com
Yes. That was the original argument regarding Joyner, a 2nd rounder. But to your point, overall. I think they have been a bit below average. I think I could have made better picks and if that's the case then those guys are way overpaid for what they have done.by max - RamsFootballFans.com
OK. Fine. Fisher thinks he's got enough at QB with Keenum to do well this year. He should be putting his job on the line with that approach and he should be held to his commitment of no more 7-9 BS. So, if Fisher plays Keenum cause he's convinced he will have a winning season this year and is truly in the playoff hunt, then I'm all for extending Fisher. He will have proven his point.

Quote9er8er Knew exactly what they were getting with him. Donald was, obviously, an excellent choice. Wanted to throw a brick at the TV when they traded up to draft Joyner. But I actually liked the Tre Mason pick, so I got that one wrong. Though, in my defense, I had no idea at the time he was mentally ill. Too bad, because he could at least play when he wanted to. I don't think GRby max - RamsFootballFans.com
We all get it. There are not many elite QBs. Duh.by max - RamsFootballFans.com
The point is its very rare that an undersized player gets drafted high in the first round. Trading up for one is even rarer. The Rams traded up once fro an undersized player and got Tavon, and stood pat for an undersized player and got Donald. So what was the better move?by max - RamsFootballFans.com
It was still a bad move to pick Joyner the way they did it, regardless of who it was who was behind it.by max - RamsFootballFans.com
I don't agree with you at all.by max - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotezn Quotereggae Not something I want to spend much time on tho They spend more time in the nickel than in a base 4/3. Joyner is a good prospect for the nickel because not only does he cover inside, he is an attack missile hitting, and can blitz. They clearly targeted a guy for an important role with that particular package of skills. To me the rush to judgment on him sounds likeby max - RamsFootballFans.com
