First they have our ex-scout as their GM who is well aware of Goff's ascent and recent failings. I am sure the owner was briefed to exhaustion about Goff's issues because there is no way Brad is going to deceive them in his first act as GM. This is why the Rams paid 2 first round picks and a third round pick on top of Goff. But there is a chance they hit on a 1 overall reclamation. And thatby merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
Goff has been dealt to a rebuild. New staff whole nine. They have struggled for years to run the ball. Not a great OL. His best hope is they can run it well enough for a play action downfield attack because he needs to rebuild his game a bit. Good chance they take a QB too in which case Goff's value goes up for being a solid QB to hold things down. All I'm saying. Maybe he turns into wby merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
1. Vermiel. Won us a Super Bowl after a decade of losing. 2. Allen. So many similarities with McVay from personality to impatient roster approach. 3. McVay. The type of coach I always wanted, he'll be our best coach ever by the time he's done.by merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
Allow them to sit Trey Lance or whoever they draft so they can redshirt and learn the game. He's fine in that kind of role. Campbell will try to get that run game going. Get everything lined up for the rook, get the line how you want it and try to maximize your receiving weapons to be ready for Lance in year two.by merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
Wouldn't blame him either. How about 3 for how many Super Bowls he's gonna win for us. Or just go bold with #1. :thumbsupby merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
Yeah and us almost making the playoffs let alone being to that point where they're a missed kick away is amazing to me. No way that team should have been a playoff team with their issues. It is a testament to the Rams' coaching that they were that close. McVay's got a real good feel for the key to winning as demonstrated by his ability to win. The guy is kind of amazing. I mean this year hby merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
But for each of us as fans we have our own definition of success. What I want is a playoff berth each year which is hard to pull off in this division. Just give me that. If Stafford leads us to three straight playoff appearances, for example, I like our chances to win it all in one of them. I think this team is going to get it done now. Really like the feel of this roster right now if theyby merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
For me bandwagon is reserved for guys who jump on a winning team and ride it, experiencing all the enjoyment and none of the drawbacks. But tbh those types don't get as much out of the winning as we do, the fans who root through thick and thin. I have some folks in my family who do that. But they probably don't get the sheer elation that we felt in '99. And I'm with you re: the QBs and alby merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
Cost is the key as always here because IMO they will try to have enough to tag Floyd and also bring in a middling vet at the pivot so they won't be feeling that need in the draft. Mack is nice short term signing fit to make a SB run. How many real contenders are out there who also need a center. Also to consider is Mack has LA roots, he's a Santa Barbara kid. Seems like a no brainer for tby merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
Bruschi knows the Pats are in trouble at QB. He was clearly upset about the friendship influencing destination choice as well as Stafford specifically saying he didn't want New England. That's just him addressing the slight IMO. Now they're looking at Matt Jones barring something like Lance falling. Who seems like a nice fit but it would be hilarious if some team swoops in to 14 and takes hby merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
If the Rams had traded for Watson you wouldn't hear very much of the Goff victimization nonsense. That's an outgrowth of fans thinking we just traded two first round picks for a guy who is a lot like Goff. Statistically they look rather similar. But when you watch the games you see the difference. It really is that simple IMO. Also and I think this matters too... When I was in the militby merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
He won't be protected by the schemed throws and rollouts and third down screens to limit the damage. His only chance is to improve on the things that cost him his job.by merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
In not benching him. He didn't bench him once this season. Funny thing is people criticize McVay for all the wrong things. His real mistake is he was too nice with Goff. And I think he knows it. Extrapolate that out too. Was he too nice with Demoff and Snead when they all decided to sign Goff two years early? There were rumors iirc that McVay wasn't behind it. A big lesson IMO for thisby merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
He acts like his fall from favor is some great mystery. Really dude? Were you checkin out pics of your model girlfriend during film review that week? You cannot be serious. If he had owned this I would think maybe Detroit got themselves a reclamation project. But I'm not seeing that. It's a shame IMO.by merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
The game was beyond hideous for Goff. He played like a rookie. For me that was it man. Waited and waited for that dude and had so much faith in him. But everybody's got a breaking point. And you know what tells me he's going to fail in Detroit? The fact that he's saying he's SURPRISED. How oblivious do you have to be man. I just can't even.by merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
I ask myself why they didn't replace Blythe with him last season. Down the stretch Blythe was the weakest link on this team to include QB. So if the Rams were of the mind that Corbs can play center... I have to think the Rams would have tried him at some point. Also at this point I am so tired of seeing DL slant into our backfield that I want something I can sort of depend on. If they wantby merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
You know Max... When his name came up I disregarded him because I had an image in my mind of who he was. It was a fat QB who didn't move well and who had never really lived up to his draft status. That was my take on him. Not enough better than Goff to make a move worthwhile. Night of the trade I started watching their 2020 games and realized I had completely overlooked the guy as an optioby merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
They're gonna have a strong Rams run game with Akers to contend with. This division is going to produce some of the best games of 2021 IMO. But the Rams are going to win the NFC West this season. No doubt in my mind.by merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
Agreed my man. We are so blessed right now it's not funny. May come up short but not through lack of doing everything possible to give themselves the best chance possible to win. And btw... This is not something teams can copy. To do this you need an owner with deep pockets and a willingness to churn the roster and sling money around to get these top guys locked up. Look at Indy.

Though Jones has probably never blocked as well as Woody does. Woody blocks like a guy 20 lbs heavier. The problem with Jones is he doesn't move the needle for what we need. We have possession guys in spades. We have slot guys in spades. Jones has been an outside the hashes guy over his career but he's a slot now IMO. Pass on Jones.

It surprises me. Given that Ryan would be a plug and play addition for their offense. His game must have suffered at least a bit in 2020, not sure because I avoided watching Atlanta games due to Gurley that's the only explanation I can think of other than Atlanta doesn't want to trade Ryan or priced him out of reality. The Vikes and Cousins are interesting too. To me at least. Thing with Cby merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
He sees Goff's regression and can't figure out how the Rams paid him two years ago without sensing at least some of what plagues him now. And it's a valid point. But go back to after that Super Bowl. We could have won that game with a couple guys making plays to include the QB. But we were in the Super Bowl. So at that point they're probably feeling pretty good and thinking they can work tby merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
This guy plus McVay. I don't see how it's anything other than fireworks and TDs. Go get a Center and receiving weapon now Snead.by merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
Wilson for now is the best QB still in the division, for me at least, until we see Stafford in this offense. I mean you have a guy here in Stafford who has languished in obscurity because all they do is lose. I am sure that in his head he believes he is a great QB. So now he is going to have a unit around him that functions at a high level and we're going to see who he is. I think he's goby merlin - RamsFootballFans.com

So of course there's going to be some of that going on. We also know they might trade one of those guys instead of a restructure. One thing people need to realize is that Kirwan is really tight with Pete Carroll from their Jets days. He gets a lot of intel and opinions via Seattle. And that means when the lens for viewing the Rams' moves comes through Carroll there's not going to be a higby merlin - RamsFootballFans.com
