QuoteGuard The Revenant bear attack scene (graphic)by Kind of Blue/Gold - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteramBRO I'm just throwing in Prescott because, of all the drafted QB's this year, he has arguably performed the best - albeit behind a very good O-line. But consider the Rams retaining all of their picks and being able to draft the following: 15 - LaQuan Treadwell (WR) 43 - TJ Green (FS) 45 - Mackensie Alexander (CB) Keep in mind, those are picks based solely on known needs headedby Kind of Blue/Gold - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotepromomasterj Really? He doesn't manage the cap, negotiate contracts, identify players to offer deals to? Negotiate trades? Is that how you think John Elway operates? and eventually disagreeing on worth aren't NECESSARILY mutually exclusive. * PHDram is right, you do seem to be conflating these issues.

As noted elsewhere (43), not likely to carry seven WRs once rookies Cooper and Spruce are healthy. With league wide cuts, adding S likely (though Joyner did play SS and FS before switching to CB in his last season at FSU), as well as a LB. Than again, if they play big nickel as a base defense, Tree and Barron will be the main LBs on the field, they may not miss Ayers much/at all (though that woulby Kind of Blue/Gold - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotealyoshamucci Wow. Milliner and Amaro are surprises ... but Jones was a first round talent in my eyes ... wow. As in the KC high 2nd rookie DT? Not seeing it anywhere, just wanted to confirm. If so, how often does a second round rookie get cut? Former Ohio State/DEN RB Maurice Clarett was a third rounder.by Kind of Blue/Gold - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotemax And did Forrest play SAM? I thought he got better and better in PS. Mo plays like an extra LB (ala Barron before Tree got hurt in 2015), mitigating his coverage weaknesses - he was a converted LB in college (sort of like Darren Woodson in DAL and Carnell Lake in PIT going from LB to S). Davis, Joyner, or cast of thousands potential free agents as every team gets to 53 as third/FS coveby Kind of Blue/Gold - RamsFootballFans.com
Goff, Higbee and Cooper, of course, but also Hemingway and Thomas (mild surprise, given his lackluster camp), as well as LB Forrest (haven't heard him distinguish himself much, either)? Who starts at SLB, with Ayers cut? * Spruce makes the cut, as expected, Duke Williams didn't.

Quote9er8er Things that are “proven” don’t generally require analysis. They just require simple observation, i.e. empiricism. In this case, analysis is about inferences drawn from evidence, not “certainties.” So, while it may be impossible to say with certainty, it’s not remotely impossible to say with credibility what the evidence suggests, or at least that for which there is no evidenceby Kind of Blue/Gold - RamsFootballFans.com
Quote9er8er Quotedzrams I accept your explanation of analysis being inferences drawn from evidence. I simply said yours failed because you stated a strong conclusion – i.e. Austin’s production didn’t help the offense - without providing much evidence. It is not good analysis to look at the results of something and conclude that one of the variables did not help without analyzing other importaby Kind of Blue/Gold - RamsFootballFans.com

But, yeah, other than that they are exactly alike! :) Is your argument that it's more impressive to do it at age 24 than age 30 or that 10 TD's absent any other context isn't really a good reason to pay somebody more than they've been worth and are likely to ever be worth?

QuoteRFL Interesting. I'm not wholly sure I follow what you're saying about the gimmicks. I lay out my complaint about them responding to Suhweet. As for the meme that Tavon has been mis- or under-used, well, I don't buy it. I don't think he can do much more than what he has done.

The Rams on Saturday gave receiver Tavon Austin a four-year extension with a new-money average of $10.5 million. The move has prompted some to question the decision, based on Austin’s performance during the first three years of his career. On Sunday, coach Jeff Fisher explained that Austin’s compensation is aimed at not the past but the future. “It’s our anticipation of what he’s goingby Kind of Blue/Gold - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteTonyHunter87 How about he averages 10 yards a catch? Or has over 500 yards receiving? Or makes the tough catch for a first down? 15 TDs? 20 TDs? 25TDs?

QuoteTonyHunter87 Austin will never live up to that contract. I like Randle. He would immediately be the best receiver on the team. What is top 12 WR money now probably won't be top 20 in two years, may not be top 30. What would he be worth in 2018? Top 50? Top 100? Top 200?

QuoteTonyHunter87 Austin isn't worth that. Not even close. That better? Why so evasive, it is pretty simple? 15 TDs? 20 TDs? 25 TDs? He isn't close to worth it because he isn't close to worth it is a tautology, and pretty far from better.
