This is disappointing.

I thought the oline would be improved this year and the offense would be a little better as a result.

They need a new coaching regime next year. They just aren’t good enough and I don’t see them miraculously getting better by the end of the year.

There is enough talent on this team, it’s past time that it was coached up.

Regardless, don’t start Geoff until he is ready. Once is fundamentals are correct, they should give him a few series a game to ensure they hold. If they do, give him some more time so he gains experience. If they don’t, then keep working on them in practice without putting him the game.

We’ll probably scrap our way to seven wins, somehow.

Rams have 3 QBs they can win with. Goff did not look lost and made one great pass to cooper that could have been caught. With Dallas D coming after him, I bet they decided to pull him and not risk injury. Mannion commanded the pocket. Couple bad throws. More good decisions.

Several third stringers looked good. Hill (he tackled), seau, Spruce (played like he did in college.

Oline opened some holes and backup RBs looked good.

Cooper has some game and higbee gets open and can catch.

Quick got open caught the ball and can block.

Several play action first down throws.

We may have 9 defensive linemen that deserve to make this team.

Ogletree went into the hole with some speed to tackle.

Wow, defense sucked early. Focus? Game plan? Prescott playing over his head? Don’t know and they will play better, but that was not fun to watch.

Legitimate questions about Goff’s velocity? Not in the measurable’s I have seen.

That’s pretty cheap.

Worth it even if we only get 8 good games out of him before he goes on IR then bring up whoever on the practice squad that is ready.

I watched Spruce in several games over the past couple of years. The Colorado team has been horrible and they had nothing on offense. Everyone knew they were going towards Spruce, they had nothing else.

He still regularly shook free for the catch. Just always seems to find the open area and possesses great hands.

Times slow, but a great shot as a possession 4th wide receiver.

A decent journeyman backup at QB, if he becomes that, is a solid choice at the end of the 3rd round. You can hope for more, but shouldn’t expect it.

I agree with Ag.

Have we all forgotten that after all this time we’ve yet to find a replacement for Massey. Come on people. Where are we going to get that position filled in the draft?

Slow delivery and occasional poor decision-making are the two issues he had in college. They will need to change his mechanics and give him enough reps that he starts to develop muscle memory on places to throw and not to throw if they hope for him to develop.

I follow both Oregon teams closely and I believe they drafted Mannion about three rounds too high.

They need mid-grade QB play. That and some health should be enough to get to 10.

They should be able to keep most of the components of the defense together with their salary cap space.
I’m assuming they get improvement out of half of all the olinemen they picked up the last two years.

To get to more than 10 I think they’d also need one really good, legit WR.

QB is an imperative.

I don’t believe the QB or the wr are currently on the roster.

Maybe they can trade one of their seconds for someone’s number 2 QB. Whose got a good one?

No injuries including a healthy QB? I’m going 11 and five with that.

Running a lot and passing very effectively.

Having a great enough defense that the opposing quarterbacks pass efficiency is worse than your own.

Per this article, the Rams are building a team best prepared to win today.

Doesn’t matter how many yards you gain running or passing (although more yards doesn’t hurt) what matters is that you run often and you’re passing efficiency is better than the opposing teams.

And if only they could resign home one more time…Massey!
