QuotePHDram So if your approaching this correctly why do you the rams rushed into signing him long term? Are they unaware of this slope? Are they ignoring it? Are there alternative explanations for the slope? Clearly they have a different take. What could it be?

Why was the run D different in the playoffs last year. Last year the Saints were 7th in yards rushing. In their playoff game the Rams held them to 48 yards on 21 carries. Last year Dallas was 19th in yards rushing. In their playoff game the Rams held them to 50 yards on 22 carries. What did the Rams do different?

QuotePHDram everybody on this board including yourself makes unsubstantiated claims. this is no different. he can claim the downward slope was caused by global warming if he wants.

If you don't run the numbers then you can't make that claim. But it's easy. You just go to Pro Football Reference and pull up a seasonal gamelog on any qb. You can see the qb ratings right there.by zn - RamsFootballFans.com

Quotedzrams Two things to keep in mind. Wade prioritizes CBs and coverage even above pass rush. Which means that if Peters and Fowler both had a big year, and all other things being equal such as no stupid immaturity issues from either of them, then Peters would probably be a higher priority. In addition, with 2 CBs hitting free agency it's a bigger need. For these reasons I'd put botby zn - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteSuh-weet! Quotemax QuoteSuh-weet! 1. The slope of that line is pretty much determined by the last four points - against 3 playoff teams and a very good Panthers team on the road. It'd be very nice to see him dominate against the best, but not surprising that he doesn't. 2. He's inconsistent. That slope is mostly determined by the high points and low points. Fact is Goff’s passer ratiby zn - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteSpeed_Kills I’m not sure why people are not grasping that the Rams would move Todd into the Kamara role Which would mean his touches would be down from 2018. Kamara, 2018. 19.9 targets/carries per game. Gurley, 2018. 24 targets/carries per gameby zn - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRockRam They didn't give Higbee that new contract simply to be an additional Olineman. Higbee (and Everett) will be getting the receiving touches that Gurley won't be.

QuoteJamesJM then I'm out of this one. As i said... Kurt lit it up in '99, first time in the NFL. He was 'developed'. So unless you wish to make the argument it all hit in '99, which obviously you don't, then it seems to me you must back off that 27 place mark. I didn't make a 27 place mark. I only said it wasn't 24 in terms of being a developed, NFL ready to start qb. You keep seeinby zn - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteJamesJM i think you miss my point... although you still disagree. You're all in on a rebirth at age 27-28. I don't think it happened that way at all. I don't think it was a rebirth. Not at all. That's not what I was saying. I think it was growth from 22 to 27.

QuoteJamesJM Anyway.. my point: Warner WAS the Warner we knew at 24. No, at 24 he had been cut the year before by the Packers after not making much of a dent in Green Bay.

Someone says, in terms for just raw talent, Goff has advantages over Warner. Not comparing their accomplishments. And someone always responds, call me when Goff wins a superbowl! Goff's accomplishments are nothing like Warner's. And then the first guy says, I know I wasn't comparing accomplishments. Goff is young and he doesn't have the accomplishments of an older and more veteran Warner.by zn - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteClassicalwit I think you've pointed out something very important, ZN. I think Jared does adopt more of a game manager mentality when the Rams play on the road.
