He hasn't been able to stay healthy, and the contract we signed him up for says it all. I agree, he was worth at least a mention. If he stays healthy, he'll make a better November story.by Old Goat - RamsFootballFans.com
But I also agree with the premise of another article that was posted here recently. The stamp of that culture starts at the top, and that can but does not have to be the FO. In McVay I see a man with vision, and that can be the well-spring of something great. We'll see. But when people- be that coaches, players, the water-boy- buy into that, they support it. As you state. The people around you thby Old Goat - RamsFootballFans.com
Maybe I'm drinking the kool-aid on this, but I think I see a young coach who is working to instill a culture here and is being given the room to do so by the owner and FO. I've seen nothing to the contrary. Dune-buggy Britt embarrassed the club with his HK antics last year, the last frame being him basically giving coach the finger and tooling in the bug he was supposedly banned from having.by Old Goat - RamsFootballFans.com

you are being called one of the best players in the game, you should be paid like one. You don't feel like that at your place of employment? Smart money for both sides says you keep the politics out of it and negotiate the contract. A lot of this smells like smoke, and we'll wait and see.

Well, Jimmy, I don't care for a guy as over-hyped and overpaid as TA is. Wouldn't say I "dislike" him, but you are right that I don't like what he's brought to the table for the money he's been paid. Much of this is not his fault. Not his fault that he was over-drafted. Not his fault that he was over-hyped (Phrases like "We need to design an offense around him", "Rams neeby Old Goat - RamsFootballFans.com
Fish was said to be surprised by the FO not extending JJ. Fish was said to be surprised that Snead got a two year extension. These were people who weren't communicating, and bad things happen to teams that don't communicate, no matter what their job is. You're right Max. There is a reason this team has the rep it does. If McVay is going to succeed, I can only hope that the organization leby Old Goat - RamsFootballFans.com
Too many times last year not just failing to read the rush, but reacting poorly to it. I'd like to see him not just learn to read the defenses, but show he can make adjustments when the dogs are coming. That's what makes a pro QB at this level.by Old Goat - RamsFootballFans.com
This guy sees it through a different lens, and the more I read about him, listen to what he says, the more impressed I am. You put players in a position to succeed, you will get their respect. I'm really starting to believe McVay can be the guy to do that.by Old Goat - RamsFootballFans.com
I get that it's not my money, I really do. But I also know when I'm under contract and how I treat that. This team expects him to be a leader. Making this off-season about him right now, with a new coach in a non-contract year is everything this new regime is preaching against. He should stay outside the headlines and put that contract year in.by Old Goat - RamsFootballFans.com
I remember him talking about ball back home, and how they strapped up in sub temperatures and just hit each other. It took another level. I like that in people, and very much in NFL players on my team. They used to call that "guts". He's a competitor, and I don't see him as a journeyman. Saying that, I also like Goff and am not in the "either / or" camp.by Old Goat - RamsFootballFans.com
Well, I don't think the FO wants the coverage that goes along with jetting a guy during voluntary OTAs. Nope. But I'd want (I do want) him cut when it counts in late summer. Barring a death in the family or something of that level, this shows a level of commitment when he's learning a new position and impressing an incoming regime that's unacceptable. Goes way beyond what's between his ears.by Old Goat - RamsFootballFans.com

With the historic drought, the flooding can cause movements in not just the table, but shift soil conditions and affect the seismic calculations that play on the engineering requirements after the deluge.

Fish is one of the guys that helped kill the B&W, as he served on the Competition Committee and I remember the reports that he was spearheading it's removal. Now he's out and the B&W is back in. Very fitting. Let the celebrations commence.by Old Goat - RamsFootballFans.com

I feel it's happening in many different areas- WR, DB, OL. Always have real competition. Put vets in place to groom youngsters. Instill the culture. This happened on D under Fish, but the O was always the red-headed step child here (Cpt Obvious). I like what I'm seeing. Sully is a great vet to groom the winner of the backup C job. Let it begin.by Old Goat - RamsFootballFans.com
I don't see "depending on" in anything about these deals. The more bullets you fire, the better chance you can hit the target. And like you've stated, league is full of success stories in the UDFA market. Nope, not a guarantee of anything. But getting a C here is not a bad strategy.
