Harbaugh doesn’t even have to recruit. All he has to do is have someone on his staff who is a good recruiter. I would think with his record at University of San Diego, Stanford and the 49ers and his history as a pro QB and that he played for Schembechler at Michigan would pretty much sell it self to any kid.

48 million seems kind of light. What is Urban Meyer getting from Ohio State?

All you have to do is go through the history of why LA doesn’t have a team… and Houston DOES…and Jacksonville DOES… and how the Coliseum Commission has killed plans rather than not be the center of power in any negotiaions…yadda, yadda, yadda…

It’s pretty EASY to be pessimistic.

Or you could be a Koolaid drinker like Fat Bernie Miklasz.

Least valued franchise in the NFL per Forbes. Think Kroenke likes that?

Makes the least amount of profit in the league. Think Kroenke likes that?

Next to last in average attendance at home games. Think Kroenke likes that?

Kroenke has the land and he has the cash to make it happen in LA. I hear all this bullshit talk about Peacock but don’t you think just for one second that maybe, just maybe Kroenke has been working his own plan for the past three years? Do we really believe that Kroenke doesn’t know how to sell a plan if he wants it bad enough?

How the hell can you honestly say that staying St Louis is preferable to owning an NFL franchise in the 2nd largest media market in the nation?

Please.

If your around: looks like no one including the Rams are coming back here any time soon.

Reason the Chargers are staying put is as follows Waterfield. Their decision has nothing to do with the Rams.

San Diego situation: The following from ESPN article, ” JMI Reality, the development company responsible for the San Diego Padres’ Petco Park, has proposed building a $1.4 billion multipurpose facility with a retractable roof that would house a new football stadium for the Chargers, along with planned expansion of the convention center that would include an exhibition hall below the football field, and a meeting room and ballroom space in an attached building, with views of the field and bay.

However, the Chargers have not built consensus on the proposal with local business and community leaders. If consensus on a proposal is met, a possible vote on the project could appear in front of voters on a countywide ballot as early as the general election in November 2016.

The proposal would need a two-thirds majority vote in order to use hotel tax money as a funding source for the project. That funding source has been contemplated for use on the convention center expansion.

San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer has indicated his willingness to work with the Chargers on a stadium solution, as long as taxpayers are protected.

“We have to get this done,” Faulconer said in an interview with local radio station The Mighty 1090. “It’s too important to us as a city. And it’s not just the city, it’s in fact the entire San Diego region. The Chargers are extremely important to San Diego. The Chargers belong in San Diego.

“We have a facility that is outdated, and that’s just the facts. I’ve been on the job for eight months now, and I’ve said we have to call the question. We have to get this done. And we have to bring everybody to the table to solve this once and for all. And I’m committed to doing that.””

I think Hill sucks. He has a tendency to make the big mistake. Perfect examples is the end of the Chargers game and the last drive in the Cardinals game last Thursday. Hill absolutely cost the Rams a win over the Cardinals last Thursday with his horrible inaccurate passing. Little things a veteran does? Really? What a bunch of crap. Throw accurrate passes and make good decisions. Neither of which I saw from Hill last Thursday.

They could make a deal with the Eagles for either Foles or Sanchez.

I personally would rather lose the Giants game and win the Seahawks game.

I think the more telling is QBs who have started a game or at least played for a the Rams in a game since Bulger was the Rams QB.

Grits

New QB and new offensive Coordinator.

I think the Rams should be talking to the Eagles. They have three potential starting QBs on their roster.
I cannot see either Sanchez or Foles being happy with being on the bench after having been starters. I don’t care what the national outlook is on Sanchez, he’s better than what the Rams have right now and better than most of the veteran QB options out there. If the Rams had Sanchez last night they would have beaten the Cardinals. Sanchez when the Jets were good his first couple years in the pros, he quarterbacked them to two AFC title games. The Rams do not have a QB on their roster with that kind of pedidgree.

If I couldn’t pry Sanchez away then I’d certainly talk to them about Nick Foles or Matt Barkley.

Grits

I think the loss totally falls on Shaun Hill’s shoulders. He was the big difference between winning and losing.
The Defense busted its asses to keep the Rams in the game and Hill did his best Tony Banks impression and did nothing.

Team needs a legit star QB and until they have that they will always be not good enough.

Grits

7 and 7 that is what this game means

Cardinals are not the same team the Rams faced just a few short weeks ago. Still very good on Defense but not the same team on offense. Too bad this game isn’t being played on Sunday instead of Thursday because, we’d have a better understanding of just how far the Rams have come in a month’s time. The shortened week is going to have an effect on the game. I just hope it is a positive for the Rams.

As you may recall the Rams were leading the in the last game until Austin Davis had a melt down and thanks to a pick six and then a fumble by Davis which was scored as a TD allowed the Cardinals to score three TDs in about 4 minutes time and put the game away.

Hopefully, having Hill in there at QB means we are not going to see the same kind of mental blunders Davis committed which beat the Rams in the last game between these two teams.

Rams are a young team on defense. They have really come together as a defense the past few weeks. Hopefully their youth will play to their advantage on this short week. If they can muster up the intensity and ferocity they have played with versus the Raiders and Redskins then the Cardinals may be in some trouble.

The Rams offense has been clicking on all cylinders as well. They have been very well balanced and the offensive line has played great. If they Rams can run the football effectively and hit on some big pass plays this could be their game to win. The Rams however cannot afford turnovers versus the Cardinals.

What does 7 and 7 mean to the Rams? It means two more wins and they have a winning season. The Rams may not make it to the playoffs at 9-7 but wouldn’t it be great for them to go into Seattle the last weekend of the season and beat them in their own stadium? Just might be the signal that in 2015 teams like Seattle and San Francisco and Arizona will not be guaranteed a top spot in the NFC West. The new kingpin just might very well be the Rams.
