Quotezn He is however the only one so far not to receive an extension. At a certain point, there's a risk to the Rams looking bad. To their own players among others. It's bad business. .. Mack! He hasn't received an extension. He too is eligible for one and he's on record as saying he's patiently waiting for one. That said, I agree.

QuoteSpeed_Kills Man sometimes the stuff I read on this board is CRAZY They absolutely were leaders on the field and in the locker room. That was as obvious as the sky is blue Tree was for sure...A lot was said about that before he was traded. I don't really recall seeing much or hearing much about Quinn's leadership. That could just be me though. Was he one of the quiet types?by dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotemax I thought she was ok with Goff. What's surprising to me is that I thought the Rams would have their pick of top of the line reporters in LA and they get someone from New York. I would assume they would go for the best applicant. Why does it matter where she is from?by dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com
Quoteferragamo79 Peters is the 1 boom! I guess it depends on who you ask. PFF says that Talib is still better than Peters. Peters creates more big plays but also gives up more TDs. Wade says they are both #1s. My personal opinion was that I considered Peters as the top dog. I'm not sure now; I didn't realize he gave up so many big plays. But it really doesn't matter.

Yeah, I agree with you. I see a short term 2 year window where I expect the D to be very good and will help carry the team. After that, Goff and others will start getting expensive, they will lose some players, and Goff will need to be great for prolonged success.by dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteLos Angeles Lenny I hope he puts a great season together, because the time is now, with Goff being on his rookie contract and we have a slew of good to great players on this team. I really think we could win two out of the next three Super Bowls. I'm confident Goff will build on last year and have a great season. I was one of the first in his corner even before we traded for him. And I alsby dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteRams43 I see it differently, 89. They have extended star players.... Saffold Brockers TA Barron Ogletree NRC Here are all of the players they've extended. Personally, I don't count any of those players as stars. Brockers is the closest but he's not significantly above average IMO. NRC isn't a star b/c stars don't sign for $5M.

QuoteSpeedball89 U know, a run stuffer 250 lb type thumper. Not a 210 pound guy that gets caught up in the wash during running plays. He did get caught up in the wash his fair share of the time. I don't think that's Wade's traditional type player at that position though. Looking at his mo LBs for the last 20 years, they're typically in the 230 range. His Mike LB is usually the bigger guy atby dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteSpeedball89 Same here. I'm not saying he isn't a good solid player. But he just doesn't fit the defense imo. A hybrid safety that played well in a 4-3.

QuoteBilly_T Can't remember where I saw it . . . maybe ESPN . . . but they did a ranking of top offenses. Rams were eighth, I think. We're several months early on any of this, but I think the anti-hype has now reached absurd levels. Yeah, proclaiming the Rams as Super Bowl champs in the early spring was silly, but pushing them down and almost out of the top ten . . . that's silly too.by dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteDavid Deacon QuoteRams43 I think both AD and Mack are certain to be $20 million players, and soon. Whichever one signs second will be the higher paid. Thus, the reason for the extension delays? I agree but I don't like it and don't agree. The price for DT has been coming down after getting inflated with Suh and Fletcher Cox contracts. Now maybe Donald is so unique it is worth settingby dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com

Quotezn Quotedzrams QuoteA lot of work. It's appreciated. The problem with measuring 2nd rounders is the same sometimes as 1st rounders---often, they're kept around just based on the hope they will live up to expectations. True. That can be an issue with any premium draft pick. I tried to account for that by only counting starters and significant contributors in production as hits.by dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com

Quotejemach your telling me 92 WRs in the last 3 years have more value than Kamara? Are all those 92 still in the league? I would love to see the 92. PFF is a different view.

Quotejemach Objective fact...A GM with a hit rate of 66% in the top 15 is not the same as a GM with a hit rate of 66% drafting in the 20s. %'s are not created equal. Snead has had 4 top 10 picks in Austin, GRob, Gurley, and Goff. He's 2 of 4 which is slightly below the 60% hit rate that Max provided. From 11-30, which per Max typically has a hit rate between 30 and 50%, Snead is 3 of 3 fby dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com
I get everything you're saying and agree. But IMO it doesn't matter because Snead has done well in the 2nd round with hitting on 3 of 6. (Excluding Everett who can't be judged this early.)by dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com
