QuoteSaguaro Rodgers 18-30 286 yds 1 TD 102.9 Goff 19-35 295 yds 3 TD 111.0 But I'm glad the fumble didn't give AR a chance to change that! The last drive was technically a 4th quarter comeback by Goff. It's more accurate to say Goff was the qb on a Rams 4th quarter comeback, but, IMO that's pedantic. So--4th quarter comeback drive credited to Goff.by zn - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteRAMbler ....so I agree. By 2021 they will be paying Goff and at best can afford around 8-9 top contract types. They already have more candidates than slots on the top contract list. Those 8-9 need to be surrounded with good supporting players. That means they need more draft picks, not fewer. Anything else fails to be cost effective.by zn - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotejemach 8 picks and how many roster spots available? Hopefully we hit home runs...but IF there is a chance to move up and get a guy...we are in position to do it and still have ample draft capital.

QuoteSpeed_Kills Many did. Rams have a big lead on them this year but it looks like next year with a healthy Niner team will have this division right back where it was about 3 or 4 seasons ago Reports of Seattle's death are greatly exaggerated.

Quotebigjimram21 That's fine but if there is a stud edge and there are only a few , you may well need to move up to grab one. With 3 3rds no reason not to use one to get your guy(whoever it is).

“Rodger has been exceptional. In my opinion, he’s the most underrated offensive lineman in the NFL — last year and this year,” run game coordinator/offensive line coach Aaron Kromer said this week of left guard Rodger Saffold. “He doesn’t get a lot of credit and I’m telling you, if you went back and evaluated his play on a play-to-play basis, I don’t think there’s a guard in the league that’s asby zn - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteThis "the-Rams-D-has-only-done-good-against-bad-teams-and-bad-against-good-offenses" argument is a really tiresome and deceptive argument because that's how it is with ALL the top teams.

QuoteJamesJM I know that sounds very odd... what with '99, but it's true. I think the reason being that it was the first winning season for the Rams since I became a fan.. in the 50's.

QuoteRams Junkie Littleton was a DE in HS in San Deigo and an Outside LB in a 3-4 in college at Washington. I felt like the Rams needed to get something in addition to Goff out of that 2016 draft.

I was hopeful they would be contributoby zn - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotejemach and we pass, we don't do play action. And when you are trying to cause confusion, it makes sense. We need a big game from Gurley. Interestingly that's not all that common. The vast majority of plays with Goff under center are either play action or a run. Only a few are straight dropbacks.by zn - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotejemach Does he have time remaining on his contract? How old is he? Lots of variables... If you have time on a first contract, was a proven pass rusher...sure. But who is going to give that up?

Quotejemach but I do think it should be a priority in the off season. McVay tried to get Eifert in the off season...so it's not like they don't agree. Just talking about 2 different things.

Quotejemach There is no reason to consider it a luxury. You don't need round 1 capital to find a contributor. Blocking is good...and good enough so far.

Quotejemach but I can't believe they think anything but that our weak links on this team are OLB/Edge and TE. The TE is covered up because of Todd Gurley. The defense is hurting because there is nothing coming at the QB from the edge. Watch how often Rodgers moves the pocket Sunday...assuming the knee has healed sufficiently. I don't consider TE a weak link. In this sense--it's clearly nby zn - RamsFootballFans.com
