Let them sort it all out in the year off in 2021 when they negotiate the new CBA. Yes, I think the 2021 football season will not happen...only brutal/violent negotiations. I wonder of the would try a new crazy way of payment structure!!???!! ...Perhaps, a minimum salary pool of money is set for a player based on years played...but then the money is allocated to players that reach certain gby SunTzu_vs_Camus - RamsFootballFans.com
Players get hurt...and for what?! Having guys get injured is hard enough...but for games that don't matter??!! That's bull. It's just not worth the risk and the guys are in shape all year round...we don't need pre-season anymore. The NFL needs to either go to a 18 or 20 game schedule and start the regular season in August...after the HoF game. OTAs/scrimmages..light contact will be inby SunTzu_vs_Camus - RamsFootballFans.com
make them REGULAR season games instead...they play the games anyway!!!! 16 regular season + 4 PS = 20 games............4 meaningless games 20 regular season = 20 games....NO meaningless games!!!!!!!!!! OTAs and scrimmages will be what they use to get players ready...but all 32 teams will start with the same disadvantage of very little contact and have to get up to speed. The economics andby SunTzu_vs_Camus - RamsFootballFans.com
Due to health reasons and the money/injury issues....full contact practice games need to COUNT. Hell, make the season just start and play 18 games...or even 20 games(add the 4 PS games they already play). Use the OTAs/Training camp and a few scrimmages to get players up to speed....and then, just START THE SEASON!!!!!

Palmer would suffice....especially if Goff went down with an injury... Palmer could lead us....and be a good Point Guard in this offense.by SunTzu_vs_Camus - RamsFootballFans.com

and crappy QB with bad feet and accuracy. That's always been my take since we drafted him. And, yes, a QB can inspire with his play despite things not going well for him, bad OL play at times, no running game, at times....whatever. btw - McVay didn't help with the play calling that's for sure...that offense looked like the Fisher Rams of 2016. ugh! The entire team played without ANY fiby SunTzu_vs_Camus - RamsFootballFans.com
QBs: Mannion?..........no freakin way...too slow and too deliberate...and NOT accurate. I've hated the drafting of Mannion for years...and right to do so! lol Allen.................. did okay, I'd like to see more reps after Mannion is cut and they sign a vet QB for 2nd string. RBs: Brown.................I'd let him go, frankly...too slow tho a fine pounder. Davis..................Yep,by SunTzu_vs_Camus - RamsFootballFans.com
is it in their best interest too?? Financially, yes. Player-wise, team performance...maybe no. Doing a short term deal lets the player make money and teh Rams NOT be on the hook paying a DT superman money at/beyond age 30. 2yrs puts AD at around 30yrs old...they could add a 3rd year option where the Rams could trade him after paying him a chunk sum to make it enticing for another team to cougby SunTzu_vs_Camus - RamsFootballFans.com
and so, giving him what he's worth 24m/25m a yr is more than fair. AD gets his 25m/yr deal...Rams get on the hook for only 50m. It acknowledges ADs performance, past and future, and allows him to be a UFA at age 30 or the Rams can trade him before then. It's a short deal where the team doesn't get tied to huge money if ADs play ebbs a bit in the next few years. It gets him into camp this yeby SunTzu_vs_Camus - RamsFootballFans.com
Why wouldn't he want to sign that and become a UFA in 2 yrs again to renegotiate a new contract for any team that wants to pay him? I'm confused on that issue. I know I brought it up in the past, but I'm just so confused about it. IF the Rams don't want a long term deal and are willing to let AD hit FA again in a few years...why wouldn't that be a happy compromise??by SunTzu_vs_Camus - RamsFootballFans.com
AD pressuring up the gut/collapsing the pocket wher a QB cannot step up...besides thafact that AD draws frequent double & even triple teams... yet STILL makes plays...is INSANE!!!!!!!!!!! And makes other defenders 1-on-1 to beat their guy...AD IS worth the price of 2 maybe even THREE 10m/yr players cuz of what he does. I'd try and sign AD for a short 2/3yr deal at 25m guaranteed to get himby SunTzu_vs_Camus - RamsFootballFans.com

thnx fer the clarification, Oswald!!!!by SunTzu_vs_Camus - RamsFootballFans.com
A 2yr deal for AD at 25m/yr = 50m guaranteed.... pluses: AD - AD gets 50m for sure...and is paid at 25m which is the highest defensive player. ALSO, AD becomes a UDFA at age 29/30 and can negotiate a new deal again. Rams - Rams get AD for 2 yrs(where AD's happy at being paid top dollar) but not on the hook for 80m for the long term so when AD nears the decline at age 29/30....the Rams wby SunTzu_vs_Camus - RamsFootballFans.com
even a 2 yr deal with 50m guaranteed...and AD would be a UFA at age 29/30... which would get him another payday with the Rams or any other team. Until then? AD gets 25m/per yr...which is more than the Franchise Tag would be IF the Rams used it.... and AD would be getting top tier money and UFA as a tradeoff. It'd be a nice stopgap compromise until the new CBA and gives him 25m/ per yr guaraby SunTzu_vs_Camus - RamsFootballFans.com
I never saw the hands by Hemingway that folks/coaches talked about. He may be a size speed guy but - to me - he was a very stiff catcher of the football.

Where some QBs lack certain elements to their game....they make it up in other ways. Physically, mentally, spatially everyone has varying degrees of talent in these areas...and so success can come in many forms.

QuoteSag "The Robot" sports a new firmware upgrade in 2018! I love that, Sag!!! very funny! very true in some ways. Goff doesn't seem frenetic, but instead, is a natural/relaxed passer most of the time. I swear, Goff is missing a piece of his amygdala and has no fear(like KWarner) while in the pocket. To me, Goff comes off "simple" but he DOES seem wired to compete.by SunTzu_vs_Camus - RamsFootballFans.com
