The Rams’ DL has a knack for introducing QBs to “gravity.” Even if William Hayes is skeptical that gravity exists.

Well have you ever SEEN “gravity” ?

Yes, Clooney, Bullock. A boring space movie.

1. Quick – didn’t look like he is ever gonna be a factor.
2. Zeurlein – Not exactly clutch.
3. Cook – inconsistent which is what Tennessee thought about him.
4. Saffold – injuries aside, he’s not living up to the contract the Rams gave him.

Good list.

Well Mr. Hayes is wrong about dinosaurs. He is also wrong about archeologists. In reference to dinosaurs he should know that study is by paleontologists. He might be right about mermaids as Tom Hanks and Disney agree.

So, Wichman’s the real deal?

One report on Wichman from someone in a position to hear things is that Wichman is the player who made Jones expendable. Even though Wichman was hurt in OTAs and missed some time in camp, they liked him to the point where they were afraid to put him on the practice squad because they didn’t think he would clear waivers, or at least they didn’t want to face that situation. So they kept him on the roster and cut Jones instead. A lot of close OL observers have said for a couple of games now that they like Wichman and that he can be counted now, already, as a sure draft hit.

It wasn’t that long ago I was depressed over the crappy play of the O line and now they play like this?

I suppose if you’re Michael Bennett and you’ve been rendered a nonfactor by the Rams much-maligned o-line, going after a punter might be the only way to regain your dignity.

Brutal honesty!

Well, lots of knowns and unknowns.

Do they think Foles can be Rebuilt?
Can they afford to cut him?
Can afford to keep him if he takes up a roster spot another QB
could have?
Is Mannion an Option? When will they know?
Can Keenum ever be a no.1 QB ?
Are any of the QBs in the draft-class worth
moving up for?
which vet free agents could help?

No.
Yes.
No.
Yes. Soon.
Yes.
No.
None.

No way. Not me. I tried the original when they first came out. I think I got one side once. Congratulations!

Hey the game is on now? I hope Bradford does well. I’d watch but I’m watching Silver Linings Playbook for the third time.

Well, we have the unknown in Mannion — that’s one.
We have the journeyman in Keenum — that’s two.
We should never ever ever use Foles again — that’s two.

So for the third we have to either (a) draft one high and hedge our Mannion bet, or (b) sign one to a ton of money and compromise the overall strength of the team. You can probably part ways with Chris Long and his contract, or James Laurinaitis and his, to make room for a free agent guy. Like Stafford if he were to actually become available.

Please not Stafford. I hope Keenum or Mannion can be the QB.

wv ram, I like your analysis. (quote feature didn’t work.)

The Rams make money. Despite being a multibillionaire StanK doesn’t feel he has enough money. The revenue agreement for the Ed is the most generous in the league yet still not enough for StanK. St. Louis isn’t a wealthy city and there is need much beyond 8 sundays of football a year. In the end I hope StanK gets what he deserves.

Perhaps 19-0? Biggest thing to ever happen to Charlotte since the Civil War.

Faulk excelled at everything. Gurley has a chance to be as good as Faulk assuming Gurley has the supporting cast Faulk had here. That is a tall order for this Rams front office.

I think Gurley can be good regardless of the supporting cast.

Besides I was talking about raw talents. Regardless who was around him Faulk had certain basic, innate skills. They showed up in losses and bad games as well as wins.

All RBs need a good O line to create holes to run through. Gurley doesn’t look that good with this supporting cast. Sometimes he breaks an occasional big run which reminds me of Jackson. Faulk had the ultimate supporting cast. Give that to Gurley and he will get his yards and more importantly the team will get wins. Get Gurley in open space and he will be as elusive as Faulk. Neither Faulk nor Gurley run over people like Marshawn Lynch, but even Lynch had a decent O line.

I’d put Jamie Martin before any of the ones you listed. I’d put Fitzpatrick ahead also.
