QuoteBlueRidgeHorns They say it's easier to move up in the field than to move back. He was a linebacker in college. To move to safety? Barron moved from safety to linebacker. That was a real success. But going the other way.....I'm hopeful, but I'm not so sure. I'm gonna defer to GW on D personnel matters. He's earned it. Lol.by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com

QuotePHDram I find statements like this rather amusing as there is no way any one of us have the ability to have an informed opinion about the ability of the coaches to coach. So what exactly do you think they are doing wrong? Moreover fisher's actual history with qbs simply doesn't match this narrative. Every single qb Fisher coached had his best year under fisher.

Quotedzrams Here is my prediction of what's going down soon. These are not all my personal choices, it's what I think Fisher will ultimately go with. OFFENSE QB (3) – Keenum, Mannion, Goff (notice where his name is) OL (9) – GRob, Saffold, Barnes, Brown, Havenstein, Wichman, Reynolds, Rhaney, Battle RB (4) – Gurley, Cunningham, Brown, Reynolds TE (4) – Kendricks, Higbee, Harkey, Hemingby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
QuotePHDram That's fine to disagree but I don't know what you mean when you say it speaks for itself. I just laid out in which he got the most out of all three qbs he had a hand in developing. Am I missing something? I think judging Fisher's development of O skill players in the context of his 21 year career is fair, PHD.

QuotePHDram Is this a bad track record? he went to the SB with mcnair. in addition he was a 4x pro bowler and received the league Co-MVP award in 2003 with Peyton Manning. he didnt want vy but made him serviceable. VY went from a 66.7 qb rating as a rookie to 98.6 in 2010. the next year without fisher it was 60.8.

QuoteGreatRamNTheSky Sigh. I've already made the argument against this viewpoint. Lets see where we are by October. Take Care. Grits Where did I say that the sky is falling, Grits? Quite the contrary when it comes to our starting units. You might want to reread what I actually wrote. I still expect a 10-6 record. Maybe better.by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Another stream of consciousness thing... First, the negatives. I'll start with Goff. What happened to that "most Pro ready" QB? The one that bravely insisted on doing his Ram private workout in a downpour? That amazed coaches and scouts on the chalkboard? That processed with speed in college? That had such accuracy and touch? Damn! Get this imposter outta here, and go get that othby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Let's see if I have the math right... The Vikings scored two TD's and two FG's off Ram turnovers? And scored another TD on that 106 yard KO return? Ummmmm... Doesn't that kinda mean that the Rams gifted all 27 points that the Vikings scored? Throw in 4 sacks allowed to 2nd, 3rd, and 4th stringers? Is that some kind of a record? What an excercize in butt ugly futility. Arrrrrgh!by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
I don't blame the camp reporters, Speed. I think they called 'em as they saw 'em. I blame the players. Some guys are practice players and some are gamers. Too many of these kids are NOT looking like gamers.by Rams43 - Game Time Forum
Other than Fox, has any rookie made a really positive statement tonight? Including Goff, other than that first drive? Very disappointing.by Rams43 - Game Time Forum
Williams is playing himself off the team tonight. I was hoping that the Bronco game was a fluke, but no. It's like he's disintegrated right before our eyes in 2 weeks. Dang!by Rams43 - Game Time Forum

QuoteRustyRay And can catch the ball. They are all starting and playing with Keenum however. I hope if the Rams are stating Goff tonight they give him the oline and the WRs and starting TEs.

Or throw to Thomas orby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRAMbler .....I hope someone will tweet that our starters will remain on the OL as long as Goff is in. Williams at LT again, could spell the end of Goff's rookie season.

Quotereggae 1. They are not keeping 4 slot guys. Austin, Cooper Marquez and Spruce are all slot guys 2. They are not keeping 3 rookies You can derive your 6 from that Depends on how you look at it, reggae. Your "logic" might be flawed in this case and loaded with old style dogma. Maybe they're thinking outside the box here? Just keeping the best 6 WR's makes a ton of sense tby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Yeah, our WR situation is kinda up in the air. Here's my take... Britt, Austin, and Cooper are locks. Spruce is a virtual lock. Best hands on the team. Something that any QB and OC greatly values. Might have some ST value, I dunno. BTW, where is it written that he can't get some snaps as an outside WR? Marquez probably makes it as a ST player. But he's no lock. Marginal value as a WR.by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com

It seems that you are raising 3 separate issues in this post, max. 1) Keenum was previously a UDFA and has "bounced around". Acquired in a trade for a 7th rounder and was a mere backup for most of last year. All true. But now totally irrelevant, since he has grown and has now earned starter status. Wasn't even close. 2) Goff has not received the quality of coaching and developmentby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
