Perhaps like your Les Snead theory there's something behind them deliberately being in the background. QuoteLARams17 I saw Les last night on the sideline of the USC game speaking with Lynn Swann. It got me thinking that Les has been eerily silent all year. From training camp until present day. You never hear Les state any opinions on the team/players whatsoever. Even that's strange. Why?by Ramadune - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotelaram Which is not at all. BUM is on his second straight DNP and has a whopping 6 recs this season! Another great personnel decision by the Fish! :flush I thought some argued that. Well we let him go so they corrected that at least. Didn't he have a great first game? It was so long ago. Personally I would have cut him after he went after the backup QB.by Ramadune - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotepromomasterj He won't play Goff because he fears that any bad perfromance will reflect poorly on him. So he's keeping the kid's development on hold because of ego. In reality, fans and ownership might accept losing with a rookie much better than accepting a losing season with a journeyman who's playing for no good reason, except maybe to keep Jeff from feeling embarrassed. Not that compby Ramadune - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteLesBaker And IMO not playing Goff could just as well point to him not being afraid at all as in not one tiny bit. Fisher is secure in himself and his methods. He's going to do what he thinks is right for the team long and short term. He doesn't care what the fans, media or posters think.by Ramadune - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotezn QuoteGreatRamNTheSky I am not going to deny that Fisher does have great insight on many things but his down fall is he can't admit when he 's wrong and when he does admit it well the season is over. He's a stick in the mud that will resist all who criticize him and become more entrenched when he should be open to other voices and ideas. I feel this is his last season and he's done aby Ramadune - RamsFootballFans.com
Quote-X- QuoteGreatRamNTheSky Anyone else find it curious that Fisher 1. Unequivocally states Keenum is still the guy but goes onto 2. State that Goff will get more reps and that 3. Keenum doesn't really need the reps? He said that (and qualified it on his show) because the bye week is the time where they get all of the backups extra reps. It doesn't surprise me that Keenum doesn't really needby Ramadune - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteBobCarl QuoteRamadune If Goff is getting most of the reps, then he'll be the starter. Your inductive reasoning gives me hope. Modus Ponens!by Ramadune - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotepromomasterj But my hearing's not what it used to be It's not your hearing, it's your interpretation. If Goff has a 15-year career, sooner is playing him in year 2 verses year 3 or 4. Or maybe it is playing him in game 12 instead of game 16. Whatever you think "sooner" means, it is clearly not soon enough for you. By the way, I don't think Fisher knows yet when he will playby Ramadune - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotepromomasterj My point is that Fisher is not willing to develop the QB by playing him as he might think it will reflect poorly on him. But just like Tom Coughlin took his lumps inserting Eli into the lineup, Fisher could survive a losing season - with his rookie QB playing. Now we are going to endure a losing season with Keenum who will say bye at the end of the year - just like Jeff. Cby Ramadune - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotepromomasterj Leading to his and Les' immediate demise? If so, that's a terrible way to build for the future. Don't play the kid cause he might make me look bad. I expect even if Goff plays the team will continue to lose. But I'd rather we lose with Goff - warts and all - then win a few games with Keenum to keep us at .500 and straight into the offseason with our future QB getting zero gaby Ramadune - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteJamesJM and you could be right.. if so, I want him with the Rams all the more. :laughing I met him back when he was recruiting one of my sons to USD. Followed him since as he was up here in the Bay Area coaching Stanford and then the 49ers. I know people who know him. He went to high school in Ann Arbor (and CA), played college football for Michigan and the Bears in the pros. Michiganby Ramadune - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteBigGame81 Might not get him but at least the name is being thrown out there by some. IMO, Harbaugh would get at least 10 wins with this current roster. And I think Goff would reach his full potential under his coaching. Harbaugh is home, his wife is tired of moving, he's got plenty of money, pro athletes burn out on him but college players cycle through and he has all the power aby Ramadune - RamsFootballFans.com

Quoteferragamo79 Too. Gaines and Hill have struggled. Limited depth. Jenkins was always going to take the highest contract anywhere he could get. These huge contracts always hurt you and throw things out of balance. The Indianapolis Colts owner lamented the huge contract they gave Luck right after they signed him. The Lions couldn't keep Suh, but Miami took him. He's not helping Miami.by Ramadune - RamsFootballFans.com

Quoteferragamo79 wasn't he a 3rd rounder? He has been bumped by Wichmann. GR is a bust. Thank goodness for the 2 first rounders and the other pick being Donald. Barnes too small no push. If they don't produce from day one, they're a bust. At least that's what some say. I see the sport as more developmental and then a series of adjustments.by Ramadune - RamsFootballFans.com
