Yeah, I wonder about that sometimes. I mean, I really wonder if he is starting to think the game has passed him by. I heard that he said he's not sure if he's gonna be around when the Ram move into the new stadium. Sound to me like he isn't quite sure of things. I also think he is all in on not finishing 7-9 again, in that he believes that if he does have another losing season then he grossby max - RamsFootballFans.com
That is an interesting comparison. He looked less confused and more in control that Goff did. We are talking about a QB that was supposed to be a lot further away than Goff by every draft resource. We are talking about a guy that Fisher didn't want at 15 and said as much after the draft in an interview with NFL.com. And no one batted an eye. Why? Because it was common belief that Lynch wasby max - RamsFootballFans.com
I guess they gotta keep Marquez due to STs, but he stinks as a WR. So after those 4 guys, they will probably keep 2 more due to injuries. Me, I would keep Spruce for sure, he's the most sure handed WR we've got. Then it's between Quick and Thomas. And I would drop both of them if we could pick up a WR before the season starts. I mean, it isn't that hard. Teams do it all the time, justby max - RamsFootballFans.com

I'm hearing that Keenum will remain "safely on the sidelines" in tonights game since he is the clear starter for game 1. Typically, that's what teams do with their starting QBs. They put their prize possession in bubble wrap in the PS finale. What's crazy here is that Keenum is a FA who has bounce around between the Texans and Rams Practice Squads and is viewed as nothing more thaby max - RamsFootballFans.com
This is a sellers market and they are desperate. They would have to overpay for the Rams to sacrifice their current starter.by max - RamsFootballFans.com

I understand that. Of course Stan wants to wait until then, but that doesn't mean he will force it if he's getting embarrassed in the media and the box office.by max - RamsFootballFans.com
Just wait until the Rams show that they are a losing team again. When they are 3-5 there is gonna be a lot of questioning of Kroenke decision to extend Fisher. Big Stan is in LA now, he can't hide so easily and he wants to be king out there with his zillion dollar investment. I think it's gonna be very very difficult for him to retain Fisher after another losing season, especially if Goffby max - RamsFootballFans.com
That's a fair apportionment of blame. I think the best thing we can say is that since is Fisher is so conservative (he didn't even start Donald in his first game), he won't put Goff on the field to look confused, get beat up and develop bad habits. Cause right now there isn't a more confused QB in the NFL. And most of that goes on Fisher and his staff. This is so blatantly obvious, that I thinby max - RamsFootballFans.com
I thought it was very revealing when Fisher said he spends no more time with Goff than he does with any other player on the team. He also said he is not in the meeting room with the offensive and QB coaches but he does talk to them to find out what is going on with Goff. Imagine Bill Walsh doing that with Montana? Or Belcihick doing that with Brady? Or McCarthy doing that with Rodgers. Or Lombby max - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteRams_81 The fundamentals of route running are bad and The Rams only run the go out and turn around pattern with Britt and the Tight end delay across the middle and the Austin screen pass. Nothing else needs to be considered by the defense. I heard that about Britt. I heard a scout say that is the only route Britt runs decently. I'm far from an expert on route running but the coby max - RamsFootballFans.com
Some really great observations and evaluations, IMO. You make a great point about how Goff will get on the field. I expect that the offense will stall, and we will lose games because of it, but not because Keenum is the weak link. We all know where the real weak links are in this passing game. But yeah, they will have problems scoring enough points to win and Fisher will use that as an excuseby max - RamsFootballFans.com
So what do you attribute the fact that on many 3rd down plays the Rams WR were covered like a glove? Is it the Denver coverage scheme or is it our WR inability to get separation?by max - RamsFootballFans.com
I think its gonna be Goff and Mannion just the way you said. I don't think we are gonna see Havenstein, but maybe we'll see Spruce.by max - RamsFootballFans.com
I try hard to be honest and fair with my observations, though I usually lean toward the optimistic side. I have huge questions about the coaching on offense. I fear that Goff is getting poorly coached. And I think the receivers are just so bad, partly due to talent partly due to coaching probably, but they are bad. But GRob has looked great to me in the PS. I think that is common knowledby max - RamsFootballFans.com
With Thompson gone I think we are gonna see a large amount of Goff play on Thursday (assuming the OL can protect him). Fisher is gonna sit a lot of starters and Case will play very little if at all. Game 4 is typically when the 2nd and 3rd string QBs play almost exclusively. Now that goes for Minn as well. I doubt Goff will see their 1st string D so it should be a nice workout for him.

Quote9er8er and hopefully not lose to the 49ers. Though I still think there's a chance that somehow, someway Goff ends up starting that game. But I wouldn't worry too much because it won't be long before Goff is starting anyway.

Quote9er8er But I need actual reasons for it first. I need more than hopeium. I agree the defensive line is the strength of this team, but won't go so far as to say the front seven. The LB's are a problem IMO, but I'd love to see them prove me wrong. The hope as I see it is that they can run the ball well enough on offense and get after the QB well enough on defense to keep them at leby max - RamsFootballFans.com
Quote9er8er Which is just another way of saying, everything is unfortunately progressing pretty much as expected. For me it was this.............. - The transition to a pro style offense is the herculean task for Goff that I feared it would be. If he survives it mentally, he may not survive it physically.

I won't argue with anything you said. I watch Goff and wonder, what would he look like if Bill Walsh were around and coaching him. It's really sinful. Best thing is Fisher will likely only retard his progress, he won't destroy him.by max - RamsFootballFans.com

I've seen excellent, and what I've seen from Keenum doesn't mesh in my eyes. He's ok. He has no velocity on his ball and can't make a lot of throws. Excellent would never be a word I would use to describe Keenum at QB. I do expect him to play the first 4 games, and I expect the Rams to be 1-3. And I expect the main reason for that to be the glaring difference in QBing.by max - RamsFootballFans.com
