It's the players who are mostly responsible for the situation. Yes, management drafted them, but they simply don't play well. You look at a team like the Cowboys, and, collectively, their players are simply fundamentally and technically better than the Rams' players. You watch a player like Sean Lee, a LB, and you see him make a leaping interception in the end zone where he catches the ball atby Classicalwit - RamsFootballFans.com
Hahaha! I'm with you all the way, Sags. And, the slow death of the English is just the tip of the iceberg in the dumbing down of mass culture. I work in the construction industry, where people speak of door "closures" instead of "closers". Or they write clauses like: "My manager, who I hate ... " It's painful.by Classicalwit - RamsFootballFans.com
I'm listening to the JF show and coach just called his penalty on Goff's 11 yard run dumb. Is GRob on his way to being a bust? He's got a good head of steam towards it.by Classicalwit - RamsFootballFans.com
Wasn't Hue Jackson enamored with Goff?by Classicalwit - RamsFootballFans.com
Of all of the players you stated above, the only ones that I despised were Austin and Robinson. I didn't like the Austin pick because I thought that he was a gimmick player who had success against weak college defenses. I also thought that his small size and inability to hand catch the ball would not make him a serviceable player at the professional level. That the Rams gave up a second round picby Classicalwit - RamsFootballFans.com
5-11 sounds about right.by Classicalwit - RamsFootballFans.com
Yep. There is way too much stuff to do here for people to waste their time on a bad product. The Rams will get a mulligan this season, but if they try to put this garbage on the field next year, they'll find themselves playing to an empty stadium.by Classicalwit - RamsFootballFans.com
Are you referring to the same offense that makes him drop passes and let balls bounce out of his hands?by Classicalwit - RamsFootballFans.com
Extrapolating what he's done to date through the rest of the year: 64 receptions, 416 yds, 5 TDs, 6.4 yds / catch I wouldn't have thought the YPC figure was possible in today's NFL.by Classicalwit - RamsFootballFans.com
to give the Rams a first round draft pick for Tavon Austin?by Classicalwit - RamsFootballFans.com
A straight drop-back and a 72 yard pass down the right sideline. "... and somebody's open! Some third string wide receiver! ..."by Classicalwit - RamsFootballFans.com
It's Ok; we have Tavon Austin.by Classicalwit - RamsFootballFans.com
ZN, I've been watching professional football for many years. Case Keenum might be one of the worst starting quarterbacks I've ever seen. He reminds me of Dieter Brock, except Brock had a better arm.by Classicalwit - RamsFootballFans.com
The Pats defense may be ordinary, but the Rams' offense is bad. Historically bad.by Classicalwit - RamsFootballFans.com
He's one of the worst starting WR's in the league. Today he had 29 yards from scrimmage. Pathetic; especially considering his contract.by Classicalwit - RamsFootballFans.com
Another bum.by Classicalwit - RamsFootballFans.com
He's just not an elite football player. The Rams have to rely on gimmickry to get anything at all out of him.by Classicalwit - RamsFootballFans.com
He sickens me.by Classicalwit - RamsFootballFans.com

Do the Rams have 2nd and 3rd round picks in the draft next season? Maybe they can bundle up some players and trade them away for draft picks. Tavon Austin comes to my mind immediately. Seriously, is there any way that the Rams can trade him?by Classicalwit - RamsFootballFans.com
He found a wide open Thomas Davis.by Classicalwit - RamsFootballFans.com
Tavon wouldn't do $#@% on the Patriots because he can't catch a $#@% football. Tavon Austin's stone hands are the reason for his struggles; no need to look anywhere else. He needs to learn how to catch a %#$@ football. That would be a start.by Classicalwit - RamsFootballFans.com
I doubt he ever plays a game for the Rams.by Classicalwit - RamsFootballFans.com
None of this year's draft picks have done a thing.by Classicalwit - RamsFootballFans.com
You're making too much sense, ZN. Cut it out.by Classicalwit - RamsFootballFans.com
Well stated.by Classicalwit - RamsFootballFans.com
ZN makes a good point as usual. It all depends on the temperament of the individual. I'm a thinker, and I learn more quickly by observation and emulation than by trial under fire. But, once I learn something, I have it down, and I can adapt very quickly to changes. In high school, I was often behind my classmates at mid- term, but by the end I was usually in the top 5%, having thoroughly masteredby Classicalwit - RamsFootballFans.com
Unfortunately for us, this situation with G-Rob is beginning to look eerily similar to that of Jason Smith. And that's a scary masquerade. It makes one think it possible that the Rams are haunted. HAPPY. HALLOWEENby Classicalwit - RamsFootballFans.com
If he can ever learn to play properly, he will get the respect he deserves from the officials. But, that is indeed one tremendous 'if'.by Classicalwit - RamsFootballFans.com
