QuoteEternalHornsI used to work with a woman who went to UPenn with Damione Lewis. She told me he was the nicest guy, a big teddy bear. I said, "Yeah, that's the problem." Maybe you're thinking of Jimmy Kennedy? Another beaut of a first round pick.by JYB - RamsFootballFans.com
Interesting comments from Redskin fans below the article: kidhorn I doubt anyone will be knocking on Jeff Fishers door in the near future. Goff seems like a smart kid who knows the importance of practice, learning the playbook and listening to his coaches. Something RG3 never figured out. do or do not - there is no try So let me just say it again... and I've been saying this siby JYB - RamsFootballFans.com

Quotemax If we lose to Philly in the first one, the second one will definitely be in Philly in the ice. We ain't winning that one. Rams took down Buddy's Bullies in 1989 playoff game in Philly, with very few giving them a shot. But, you're right -- we do not want to play them in Philly in January.by JYB - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteSuh-weet! Quotereggae I remember Higbee having a huge drop. Huge drop on a PERFECT ball. Yeah, that was a beautiful pass in pretty tight coverage. Don't think the defender got a hand on it, either.by JYB - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteGreatRamNTheSky The sack by Donald on 4th down and the save on the 2 point conversion were huge!

Who could've predicted this team would turn into the 2000 Rams. Offense is a pleasant surprise. Defense is shockingly brutal. But it's still better than the last five years.by JYB - RamsFootballFans.com
During the Thursday Bengal/Texans game, announcers talked about how upset Lewis was about losing Whitworth. Said that they thought they had a deal with him the night before he took the Rams' offer, and Lewis said he felt like a piece of the team went with him. Really wanted to keep him, but announcer noted that the Bengals don't sit first round picks and so Whitworth became expendable to mgmt.by JYB - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteL.A.Rams "...one was considered very successful..." Among qualifying passers in 1993, Mirer's rating of 67.0 was just ahead of the 65.0 rating of the 28th ranked passer in a league that had 28 teams at the time. That isn't something that I would regard as "very successful." Those who elected Mirer AFC OROY honors obviously disagreed with you. I doubt a single personby JYB - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteL.A.Rams If you're trying to make a case that Mirer was more successful than Goff at similar points in their careers, that supports the case that I was trying to make in my original post. Yes, that's the case I'm making. But that doesn't seem to be the case that you were making. You stated that "the early stages of Jared Goff's career bring back memories of Rick Mirer".

QuoteL.A.Rams Here are their rookie passer ratings: Mirer 67.0 (1993) Goff 63.6 (2016) Passing statistics have been massively inflated since 1993. I seriously doubt anybody would say that Rick Mirer and Jared Goff had comparable rookie campaigns. One was deemed highly successful -- enough to garner the ROY award. The other is viewed as being among the worst ever for a high draft pickby JYB - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteL.A.Rams Responses noted, but the early stages of Jared Goff's career bring back memories of Rick Mirer. Actually, this is quite different from Rick Mirer. Mirer actually had a pretty darn good rookie season -- outplayed Drew Bledsoe, the #1 overall pick that same year, and was named OROY, IIRC. But Mirer never built on that growth, never improved by any measurable degree. He lived off oby JYB - RamsFootballFans.com
The holdout annoys the heck out of me -- guys got two years left on his contract and appears to be getting very greedy. Not quite the selfless team player I thought he was.

QuoteThe_Bad_Guy I am doing my best to not push my cart in front of the horse. It seems ... perfect. Almost too perfect. I felt the same way when they traded with the Oilers for Jim Everett.
