QuoteRockRam What All-Everything, scare you to death WR has helped win the Superbowl in recent memory? NE's best WR is Edelman, a 5'10" sub 200 lb., 4.50 forty guy. Second best? Amendola. Not counting Gronk of course, but he didn't play in the last Pats SB win. How about the Seahawks? Doug Baldwin. Nearly identical in H/W/S to Edelman. Julio Jones's are great to have.

That wasn't. I told you Fisher didn't ask for "full control" That's what the discussion was between me and you. Since you cited zn's post, I guess you missed this one by him. As I understand it, "Full control" and "final say" are different things. "Final say" just refers to personnel---the draft, free agency, the roster. I am not sure of the scopeby laram - RamsFootballFans.com
"final say" and "full control" are not the same. Final say was NEVER in question.by laram - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteStephen Ross in Miami refused to give him full control, with Jeff Ireland still their acting GM at the time. And it still gets cited incorrectly. Fisher didn't ask for "full control" in Miami, he wanted equal control with Ireland. Nor did Fisher ask for "full control" with the Rams. I'm gonna let ya'll have this, since it keeps going down this path. Quby laram - RamsFootballFans.com
Quote"From our first interview it was clear he was ready," Demoff said. "We're set up for the future, and for future success." That Fisher's "buy in" was a mere formality. Why else would you put the cart ahead of the horse. That was rhetorical.by laram - RamsFootballFans.com
if that's the same as "final say" then we are in agreement. That's why I asked for the term to be defined because I assumed the conversation might head in the wrong direction. IF there was no consensus on the pick...Fisher had the final vote. I think we're saying the samething here.by laram - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteChief operating officer Kevin Demoff said Snead, who had been director of player personnel with the Atlanta Falcons the past three years, was the first candidate the team called, even before they hired coach Jeff Fisher. "From our first interview it was clear he was ready," Demoff said. "We're set up for the future, and for future success."by laram - RamsFootballFans.com
Darn and you were doing so well! Quotehe was hired to ensure it, he hired snead to be his wingman, not run the show, and ultimately paid the price (he was the one fired). Snead for all intents and purposes was already hired when Fisher met with him. Fisher meeting him was a mere formality. Snead was hired by Demoff.by laram - RamsFootballFans.com

Quoterambleon I'm hyped about him too, but let's not forget he's never done this before. To me our HC situation is like our LT situation....getting rid of Fisher and GRob was addition by subtraction. Could've replaced them with average guys and still expected significant improvement this year.by laram - RamsFootballFans.com
There are a number of differences obviously, but in respect to coaching styles what stands out to ME the most is the way McVay runs his practices. McVay is a teacher of fundamentals and attention to detail. Listen to how he instructs the receivers to run their routes, and to the qb to hold the ball up where the receiver can see it. You will hear him talk about shoulders vertical middle oby laram - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteFlorida_Ram Quotelaram I have never seen an NFL player sign a lifetime contract on his second deal. Its unprecedented and not a good idea IMO.

turned out to be the best option, so let's see how McVay does before we close the book on that. They're not mis-handling the Donald situation at all. As a matter of fact they are acting in kind negotiating with him will still two years remaining on his contract. Now letting other guys get to their option year is another story.by laram - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotewaterfield I for one have tons of faith in Donald. I think I know -as do you-how good he is-I've seen it as you have. OTOH I know nothing-as do you-about the ability of McVay to judge talent. I have yet to see what he's done except brings some players in and let some go. We need to see before we can judge. I know this.

Looks to me like Fahey's evaluation of Wentz was that he wasn't going to start immediately, nothing about how he would finish. Btw, he was not slated to start in Philly. Essentially his analysis on the link you provided of Goff was that he would be a competent compliment in a run oriented offense. That screams Trent Dilfer to me.
