Quote9er8er Not by any objective standard, anyway. What we should all agree to is that it looks A LOT better than it did before this season. But there is still a long way to go before anybody can know he is absolutely the franchise QB he was drafted to be. Arrow definitely pointing up to this point, though. And that's making this season a success regardless of record so far. There'sby zn - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteSteve Jenks was undiscipline.....and he showed the same competitive nature, in a great way that TJ showed....then, went to the Giants and got real coaching and became the pro bowler that he could have been on the Rams. IF TJ left and made the pro bowl, you would have said the same thing. There was no consensus among 'us' here that either was truly the better player......so, come on, it is tby zn - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteClassicalwit This is why the Rams are perennial losers; they make horrible personnel decisions, just dreadful. The guys they should be paying, they don't (J. Jenkins, A. Donald). I think it is systemic failure. I think they are up and down, or at least the this regime and the previous one combined are, and the one iffy area that could be better is in the area of their own FAs.

Quotedzrams QuoteL.A.Rams They did indeed get some good players, but there were numerous catastrophic selections with high picks. To me it's not really engaging in debate to say that they had numerous misses with high picks. Of course they have. And so does every team. In fact, the league average is that at least 50% of 2nd round picks are misses. So Pead's, Quicks and Mason's are not surprby zn - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteL.A.Rams They did indeed get some good players, but there were numerous catastrophic selections with high picks. Their percentage of hits is right there with the best drafting teams. If a team is hitting on just over 40% of its picks, it is doing well. I got that by looking at old drafts by the Steelers, Packers, and (back when they were drafting and playing well) the Giants This isn'tby zn - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteL.A.Rams ...it is nice to have a "pinch me" draft! I agree with your assessment. It is nice to see Higbee playing well, but I would like to see Everett get more opportunities.

Quotemax I think Matt Waldman is one of the best analysts out there today. And I believe he deserves to get paid for his work. I don't subscribe to many football sites, almost of them don't tell me anything I don't know and paid FF sites and rankings are a scam, IMO. But, Waldman is different. He shows me stuff of tangible value and I really enjoy his work.by zn - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteGlacieRam Idk. I don't see it as that big of deal really Davis has been playing well, and I think Littleton comes in? might be better. But I would like Joyner on the field. I think Questionable is probable. However, Probable is doubtful. But Who's on first. ...by zn - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRamBill This contract looks like Tavon 2.0 to me. I was hoping they were done giving these kind of highly questionable contracts....guess not. Plus not signing Jenkins.

Quoteden-the-coach Wentz is a Stud and I doubt Fisher would still be the coach, but for the life of me, I cannot understand how Fisher went with Goff over Wentz. It has been reported that Fisher was against moving up, but once the Rams did, he had the choice between the two and quite frankly I don't understand how Fisher went with Goff as Wentz seemed more like his type of Quarterback.

QuoteSpeed_Kills I said yesterday that he did something. You don’t just cut a player like that. Sure he wasn’t playing well but he’s at least depth. Of course it makes sense that something else other than just his play contributed to him being cut outright so abruptly That TD was a last straw. He struggled on the field. McV stressed that it was not a disciplinary or off the field issue.by zn - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotedzrams After 3 seasons, he's outperformed Sapp in sacks and tackles by pretty significant margins. 28 sacks vs. 22.5 for Sapp. I don't know if there has ever been a DT who had a more dominant first 3 years to start his career.

Quotemax I agree that the Rams probably would have won the game with a #2 vet QB with a conservative game plan. Just keep running the ball and don’t turn it over and let the defense beat up Wilson and shut down their running game behind the bad Hawks OL. But there’s no long term success in that approach. It only works in specific situations like against Seattle. You never beat teams like Dallby zn - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteSpeed_Kills Doesn’t look like he could step up. That pass would have to be out earlier for sure RFIP I don’t think Goff has confidence in his deep ball yet.

Quote. Goff has the technical, conceptual, and emotional acumen to be a starter for a long time in this league. You have to be a subscriber to access the vids.
