The interception is earned because the defense actually controlled the ball.by Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com
Hit a foul ball and the inning is over and the other team gets a runner at 2nd base. I think that analogy is the best example of how ignorant and extreme the rule is.by Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com
the opposing defensive team gets something for doing nothing. I do get your basketball point though so I see what you are saying, but this rule is such an extreme penalty and reward for defensive team for doing nothing.by Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com

the salary investment concerns me more than losing the 23rd pick in the draft, but all that you say is valid to consider. And the Rams do have 2 good WRs, but I don't think either is the game breaker. I can't figure out how the Rams keep coming up with more money to spend, but can't sign Donald. After consideration, making this signing is a no brainer provided it doesn't interfere with sby Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com
Do it. There is a 95% that the 23 pick in the draft won't be better.by Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com
After careful consideration, I feel the fumble out of endzone and other team gets the ball at the 20 is the worst rule in not only football, but all professional sports in the entirety of the last century. It makes no sense whatsoever to give the other team the ball when they didn't recovery the fumble. Moving the ball out to the 20 is good but the team fumbling the ball should keep possessioby Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com
Which would you have preferred signing. Despite his disappointing season, I rather have Watkins.by Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com
He doesn't have the "IT" factor and is never healthy and he plays on bad teams with no playmakers, but I don't think he has mental issues on knowing how to play QB. But I know what you are saying, he doesn't give the feeling that he can get it done. But I believe the environment a person grows up in can influence and change a person.

Trent Green was so awesome in preseason going 18-22 that year. You have 3 QBs from the scrap pile playing at a high level because they had excellent coaching and playmakers. Look how much Bulger regressed after he lost Martz and his playmakers at WR, but he was a high end QB while he had them. And of Course Kurt Warner was a great player. These guys go to the places Bradford went and nby Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com
and playmakers and a line. While I agree with your evaluation of results, I don't think Bradford ever had a good situation. There are only a handful of Aaron Rodgers in the league that can make something out of nothing. I think given optimal circumstances that Bradford would be an excellent QB. My guess is if Bradford was the Rams QB in 1999, that he be in the Hall Of Fame.by Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com
It is just a horrific rule that has no logic. The defense doesn't recover the ball, but they get the ball.by Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com
It can keep a receiver from making a big play and that the defense would hold on every 3rd down if it is just a 5 yard penalty. The past interference call is a tough one. Those 50 yard penalties are killers, but I can see the logic. If you are beat, why not just hold or hit the receiver if he is in better position, if the penalty is so minor that you can save a touchdown for a minor infracby Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com
goes out of bounds as well? The defensive team didn't recover the ball and earn the possession. That is why and that is why they shouldn't get it when it goes through the endzone. The last person who has possession should get the ball. Now if the defender gets the ball and refumbles it and it goes out of the endzone, than the defensive team should get the ball. The rule should be: wby Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com
That is the rule that should change. I like moving the ball back to the 20, but the team that had possession should keep it versus the other team getting the ball. When you fumble the ball out of bounds the other team doesn't get the ball. As the rule stands now, anytime there is a fumble near the goal line, the defending team should try to knock it out of the endzone.by Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com

I am saying that current roster is thin in many areas and have no playmakers. The superbowl team had much more talent around Rodgers.by Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com
the obsession with Rodgers. He is the greatest NFL player of all time. But the team is garbage as we saw when Rodgers got hurt and there is nobody that can carry that team to a superbowl. But it is sure fun watching Rodgers try.by Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com
He is an excellent coach overall! But his hurry up offense set the NFL back 30 years last year, using the entire play clock trailing with about 2 minutes left and than getting the ball back because of it with like 10 seconds left in the game.

when other options were not available, it wouldn't had been such a bad pick. #2 overall for a player that needs to be developed yet and a position that isn't a playmaking position, at a position that is all or nothing? Made absolutely no sense. At least when you pick wrong at other positions, many times the player can make a contribution with depth or special teams.

That is the scenario that is likely with that kind of player.by Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com
Some people act like it was just something that happens and the pick was ok because he graded high by the so called experts. But the guy played in a limited system in college where he just bullied opponents that were smaller than him. He gets to the pros and everybody is like him and he has to be a player.

Despite his disappointing numbers last year, I still think Watkins could be a real player and would have loved to see him stay. I think too many cooks in the kitchen is part of the reason. Kupp is a big reason Watkins was not retained. Kupp appears to be a great one in the making and The Rams wanted to use that money to help in other areas of the team.by Rams_81 - RamsFootballFans.com
You made the point I was making by the droppies comment. Kupp 62 catches 869 yards 5 drops 94 targets Amendola 61 catches 659 yards 4 drops 86 targets The percent of drops difference 1/62 = 1.61 percent difference. So folks talk about Kupp and the droppies and the facts are that he dropped 1.61 percent more passes than Amendola who the same people say has like great hands.
