I agree. I think he feels he has slipped a little and doesn't want to keep playing if he's not The Man. And he'd rather go out at least near the top, then keep playing at a declining, albeit very strong, level. I think he sensed his best days were behind him and he did not want to suit up if he is not perceived as the same dominating force.by JYB - RamsFootballFans.com
I know a lot of people think he's annoying, but in this vid, he puts the Rams and the Lions at the top of the NFC hierarchy after the first round of free agency.by JYB - RamsFootballFans.com
Just read Kendricks backed out of deal with 49ers and signed with Cowboys. Don't know reason yet.by JYB - RamsFootballFans.com
Quoteoldschoolramfan The Bears are a mess!!!! They really are. Poor Caleb -- Chicago is where QBs go to die. Have the Bears ever had a really good QB? McMahon was overrated -- carried by an all-time defense and was more known for head butting offensive linemen than passing the ball. Jay Cutler was about as good as I can remember in my lifetime, and he wasn't much better than average.by JYB - RamsFootballFans.com
The fact that there were reports that they were not going to make an offer to Hoecht, and then tendered him the moment a bunch of high profile edge defenders were signed elsewhere makes wonder if part of that plan fell through. Now it seems like they have to go edge at #19, and I hope Latu makes it to their pick. Seems like a perfect match.by JYB - RamsFootballFans.com
... and I recall at the time many of the Giants players giving Tiki a hard time about becoming timid after that hit.by JYB - RamsFootballFans.com
Last time the offense was truly elite, it had an elite Oline. Glad McVay noticed that too. :) Talk about a reversal of philosophy and priority when it comes to the interior.by JYB - RamsFootballFans.com
Quoteden-the-coach Never a fan of Peyton and I cringed when he was listed as a possible replacement of McVay. I hope he keeps losing and in that division continues to get his ask kicked. I realize he most likely will start winning, but I am truly hoping for an epic fail for him in Colorado Mountain High. Yeah, with the Chiefs and now Harbaugh in that division, it could be a while before they'by JYB - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteSeattleRam Broncos are a dumpster fire. Has to go down as the worst trade in history? Personally, I'd say the Trey Lance trade was the worst in NFL history, at least in terms of draft value traded away. They used 3 #1s on him, he hardly played at all and when he did, he was terrible. They gave up on in him almost immediately, giving him away for a day three pick. The reason it's not gettiby JYB - RamsFootballFans.com

Quotesix2stack We could probably get Brian Thomas Jr. WR LSU. He's 6'3" 209 lbs and runs a 4.34 forty. We need a WR that can knock the top off of a defense. Same. What little I know of Odunze is from highlights, but I don't see anything special about him. I also don't like that he seems to be a body catcher, rather than a hands guy.by JYB - RamsFootballFans.com
Yeah, I watched the entire game last night. Fantastic game. Mahomes is just amazing. Kudos to Spags, as well. Now I'll gleefully take in all the coverage and go visit a few Niner msg boards. :thumbsupby JYB - RamsFootballFans.com
You just described me. I even turned the game off at the half, thinking the Niners were going to run away with it. Should've known better with Mahomes on the other side. But yeah, can't get enough of the coverage today.by JYB - RamsFootballFans.com
He'd retire before settling for anything less than top dog. And it's hard to blame him.by JYB - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteRockRam I know that some teams give what amounts to IQ tests to draft candidates.... especially to QBs. But.... does that matter to "football smarts"? The Rams seems to pick guys who have both.... generally but not universally. So, does IQ have anything to do with having football smarts, or are they independent of one another? Might it more more which one the players have withby JYB - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteRams43 Namely, Bengals, Packers, and Steelers. All due to questionable decisions as to playcalling, Backup QB, or kicker. All of those lay at McVay’s feet. Just sayin’ Therefore, Rams could be facing the 49ers with a 12-4 record instead of 9-7. Can you imagine the difference that would have made in terms of potential playoff seeding? Sigh… I love McVay but I’m still gonna call ‘eby JYB - RamsFootballFans.com
