Hearing Fisher say, “We will rally around Shaun Hill”…

The parallelism of that, with Fisher replacing Vermeil…is just staggering.

I’m almost MORE excited now…

My friend, I can’t share your optimism. That was a once in a century situation. Ain’t gonna happen again.

By virtue of the absurd ...

Ah! BUT. It’s a different century now.

So, they’re due.

As someone who lives in Central Florida, I can tell you definitively that lightning not only strikes twice, but if you’re not careful, a lot more often than that!!!

I’m still excited about the Rams and our prospects because Sam Bradford going down doesn’t do anything to diminish the capacity or capability of Shaun Hill who proved his ability to play with these players and in this offense this preseason.

If it takes a few wins for others to get excited, then so be it.

You know, Mac, there ARE things to be excited about.

I just think any comparison to ’99 is not realistic.

And I guess, for me, the scale of things to be excited about doesn’t really match up, in my opinion, with the scale of the challenge.

IF our defense were truly elite …

IF we played in an ordinary division …

IF we could count on a 39 year old to stay healthy …

IF our OL remains healthy …

Lot of ifs …

I just don’t see it adding up to all that much.

Hope you’re right and I’m wrong.

yeah. rams will be fine. it’s bradford who your heart goes out to.

rams don’t need another kurt warner to come in and save this team. they need a caretaker. that’s it.

honestly. regarding the rams. i’m more worried about trumaine than i am bradford. that secondary looks not good. not good at all.

“We will rally around Shaun Hill, and sack Russel Wilson.”

I said the same last night, in full sarcasm mode, when I thought it was a much less serious injury. I am disgusted and disappointed by the fact that sarcasm has become reality.

In such a competitive division, this is a season ender for the team IMO. As it was, Bradford would have had to have had a superior season to give them a chance. I see no way that Hill magically become a great QB after enough seasons to show he is average at best.

Another wasted season and the accompanying purchase from DirectTV to make it a financial waste too.

I dunno RM. Last year the receivers weren’t as good, they only really had Stacy, and Clemens wasn’t even as good as Hill. They still beat 2 play off teams. This year the running attack is strong, Hill is better than Clemens, and both through addition and maturation the receivers are much better. The division games to worry about are the 4 against SF and Seattle. Against ARz and all non-division teams, ie. the other 12 games, they are still capable of doing what they did last year to the Colts and Saints. They probably can’t take the division, but then this is an insanely good division. They still have a chance to be play best season since….um…. (?) oh yeah, 2004.
