Whether we like it or not, an 18 game season is as inevitable as the advance of a glacier. Teams will be allowed to cope with the injuries by NFL allowing bigger rosters. It’s just a question of time, imo.by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRockRam I've been saying for awhile that there is no reason Stafford can't play until he's 40. His skills have not diminished whatsoever. He's healthy. The weight loss last year had him bouncing around and more mobile than I'm used to seeing him even when he was in Detroit. The guy is an elite QB. So, I'd imagine that what is going on is that there will be more guaranteed money, butby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Blake Corum has an ideal reaction to being selected by the Rams Bret Stuter Some teams needed help at running back in the 2024 NFL Draft, but if I were a prospect who hoped to hear his name called out, the LA Rams would have been one of the least likely teams. After all, the team has a rather full running back room with RB Kyren Williams, Ronnie Rivers, and Zach Evans already on theby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
The man just oozes leadership. He wants to win a SB now and it starts with OTA’s. Besides, he knows Rams are almost certain to grant his request for guarantees.by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com

Rams considered to have top-10 most valuable draft class by two metrics These metrics say that the Rams had a top-10 most valuable draft class Blaine Grisak The Los Angeles Rams had 10 picks in the 2024 NFL Draft and certainly made the most of them. With holes on defense, five of the team’s first six draft picks were used on that side of the ball. General manager Les Snead then founby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteSpeed_Kills you are always the optimist... all good 43 Just to be clear. I’m not suggesting that Whittington is gonna send any of Kupp, Puka, or Robinson to the bench. Just suggesting that he will be a pleasant surprise and contributor on this team in many ways. Including on ST under these new rules. And that coaches, players, and fans will love him and be grateful that he’s on thisby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
It’s really about the likelihood of Kupp remaining healthy through 17 games plus playoffs. It seems prudent to plan on Kupp missing more and more games each season as he ages.by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteShecky Good thoughts, Joe! I've been a Tutu advocate for the last couple years and have backed the little guy that doesn't necessary play like a little guy. Some here keep using the same old lazy argument that he's small in stature so he should be off the team. Well if he played scared, couldn't catch, can't block, got injured all of the time, didn't know the playbook, that would be anby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com

Here’s Mackeyser… The value of the pick can’t be divorced from the market. Teams all through the top of the second round were finally open to deal but all of them wanted so much. We basically paid a 3rd (next year’s 2nd is valued as this year’s 3rd) and 5th to move up 13 spots which is LESS than others who traded up fewer spots. And the draft next year with lack of Covid Babies, Top tier QB prby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Here’s Merlin… This looks like a deep playoff roster if the secondary sorts out. Running the ball should be more successful, more potent, and we are not dependent on one back for the first time in the McVay era. It took him long enough. Lot of getting kicked in the nuts by this group. But he got there. Stopping the run should be stronger as well. One thing I felt was coming this year wasby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com

What 1stRounder said. I might add that part of that Ramsey trade to Miami was a salary dump benefit for Rams. There are many facets to these blockbuster trades. If Fiske turns out to be a Pro Bowler then I doubt anybody will remember the trade of picks.by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotekw13 He reminds me of Kupp and Nacua. I would like to see him be backup to these 2 if one gets hurt and D-Rob and Tutu be the 3rd and/or 4th. Because, to me, it doesn't make sense to have more of the same. Tutu brings something different. Robinson is more productive than Tutu, but is also a little too similar for my taste. We kind of need a burner. We had hoped Tutu would be thatby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com

Quotekw13 We need to score more TD's and not settle for FG's. What's the plan? Plan is already in place. Namely, they now have an elite OL. They have a top drawer QB and RB stable. So they should be able to run or pass as they please.by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Given the additions of Verse and Brennan Jackson, he almost has to return Hoecht to DL, doesn’t he? That would return Hoecht to his more natural position, right? And turn a liability into an asset?by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteRamsDynasty I appreciate the well thought out write up. This wouldn't be the first time a front office was scouting one guy and his teammate jumps off the screen garnering attention. I am now curious if both Newton and Fiske were both available would the Rams have still gone Fiske because of chemistry and camaraderie? Is it that their games mesh better together?

And that the NFL draft is now 100 times more fun as a result. He can annoy at times but I do believe that he’s sincere about his statements. So yeah, I’d vote for him for the HOF.by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
