If he finally turns his play around in year...?...4? then what - you won't be able to pay him like a starting veteran left tackle and pay Donald and everyone else. So either Robinson stinks for 4 years and is released or he takes 4 years to develop and walks because we can't pay him. Either way - we lose. This is the crux of the problem with drafting players with 'potential' like Robinson, Quby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Enjoyed the wordplay. The DV thing gets me fired up because the guy walks on water in my book. Don't like seeing Rams fans take shots at him.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Until that happens. I think DV's on to something.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
And that he's unfamiliar with the staffs of teams and what schemes they run and can't watch players and systems operate and make judgements about them I don't buy that. He didn't forget how to coach or how to have success.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
and his location disqualifies his view of the Rams Was that your point? Or was it his age? He probably knows nothing about what's going on in the league these days or evaluating offensive schemes and players. Not like he did it successfully for decades in college and the pros - won at every level , brought the only super bowl trophy in history to one of the worst teams in the league.

'He's old'. 'He hates Fisher'. 'He's on a farm! '??? (my favorite). Never thought I'd see Rams fans bashing Vermeil to defend the likes of Rob Boras and Chris Weinke, but here it is.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Sheesh. I love Vermeil and value his opinion. Reading this was painful.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Rex Ryan is another quaint coaching antique who's days are numbered. Granted, there's every reason to believe they can beat us, but to think they're going to win the AFC east or even get a wild card is a bit of a stretch right now. They're 2-2, have a Genesee cream ale and relax.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Realize I've mainly been nit-picky and negative about the coaching lately (who me?) But it's been a pleasant surprise these past couple weeks. Games you think the Rams are going to do everything they can to lose and then...somehow find a way to win. It's exasperating at times - the 2 bonkers challenges - the inability to pick up a singe yard on the final drive to try and run the clock out, butby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Not the fans.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Basically says - 'its' the blocking, stupid'. Which, from the eye test certainly seems to be the case. Maybe he's not reading the holes right or pressing, lacking patience, etc, but when you watch the games it sure seems like a jailbreak on a good number of our running plays. Wouldn't it be just like the Rams to try and build a physical run-blocking line only to be good at pass blocking anby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
I think they had a stat this am - that all rookie QB's who've played snaps this year have 2 picks combined. I like Case and root for him as he's the ultimate underdog, he didn't even get blessed with Warner's ability and he WAS the definition of underdog QB, but it goes back to the roster we're building for next year and the year after. It's not like we're one player away from the Super Bowl anby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Guy is just a worker and can do all the things a grown up qb should do in terms of leadership and prep.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Pass play to kendricks wiped out 20+ yard play plus 10 yards for penalty. Same for scramble. Sack fumble another 10 yards - plus turnover. Ok, so maybe more like 75 yards of offense, 2 first downs and possession of the ball. So i guess he did ok.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
When you count the yardage wiped out by his 2 big penalties and the penalty yards and the sack fumble he gave up. Is there something like the opposite of a game ball. Like the guy who's trying his hardest to lose the game for the team? Such a disappointing player considering how high he was drafted.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Like Chris Farley says - give Longacre some snaps. Simms really put the team at a disadvantage. On the road, in the heat, me-first attitude left his teammates out to dry (or soak).by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Maybe he never had a grip! I don't think Arians is losing his grip, they really could have / should have beaten the Pats. If that had happened I think people would have excused the stinker last week as an anomaly. I wouldn't count them out just yet.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Simms is good for a personal foul or so every other game. At least it seems that way. Maybe he's just got a bad rap. Seems like you really have to try to get thrown out of a football game. It's such a selfish maneuver with the game day roster being so limited.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
We made a lot of mistakes that might have doomed us in the past, but the players gutted it out and did enough to win by the skin of their teeth. On the road, that's a solid win. Curious to see how they'll do against Arizona. I think it's good that we're onto a division game.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Quinn. Bradford, long, saffold, Laurentiis, kendricks Until this year all were starting for Jeff. All pre date him. 'Worst roster in football ' another fallacy of the great Jeff fisher mythology.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
To make it worth starting him. We get nothing out of starting Case. No offensive production, no building for the future. Zip. Nada. Mansion would be a better start if the team thinks Goff will stagger around clueless for 4 quarters. Mansion is under contract for next year and will be counted on the be the #2. Delusional Jeff thinks he's going to the playoffs with Case. Sorry, the teamby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Unless we're planning on winning the Super Bowl with Case, why are we investing time in the guy. He's walking come January.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Someday he'll retire. Sigh.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Hmm. I guess it's possible. Let's see - simplified the gameplan, didn't ask the qb to do too much, played lights out defense and special teams, ran the ball effectively and blocked. And why again can't Goff step on the field? Perhaps it's not the QB's that have been letting the Rams team down, maybe for the past couple years it's been the team letting the QB's down. But then, I don't wanby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
They don't hang onto guys year after year just because of where they were picked hoping they develop. If someone doesn't fit the system they cut bait and move on. They make heroes out of other team's castoffs - Welker, Edelman, Amendola - maybe Hogan at some point. Meanwhile we're still dragging the Quick ball and chain around.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
With that high ankle sprain. I also expect us to end the season with a losing record. So yeah, I'd like Fisher fired asap.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
We can win in the division. It's the rest of the league that's a problem. If we get down by a score or 2 next week it will be interesting to see what kind of offense we can muster. No touchdowns in 2 games is a huge issue. And if you look back, how many touchdowns did Keenum and the 1's have in pre-season play. Maybe 1 - in about 4-5 quarters of football.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
The way New England seems to just hum along year after year with different receivers and sometimes a different QB, it makes you wonder what the guy could bring to Goff and the Rams. His time in Denver didn't end well, but maybe he's the Pete Carroll / Bellicheck of this generation. Hopefully he's matured and learned a little from his first stint. I certainly would be excited if he was the Ramsby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com

Even when they won some super bowls. What about our GSOT rams - they had OTA's in St. Louis, then to 'moved' to Macomb Illinois for camp every summer then back to St. Louis for the season. That's like 3 or 4 moves, no?by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
