i don’t know that he’s poison. they used to say that about john elway. i think it’s worth a shot. if it doesn’t work no harm done.

and they will essentially have gotten those three first rounders for nothing. ha!

There appears to be twice as many draftable QBs this year than last year. That makes a lot of choices possible. I think it is most likely that the Rams will draft Cook at 15.

I don’t know about Cook at this point, but, the fact that this is a deep though not top-heavy qb draft is interesting.

not exactly sure about cook either. i’m wary of drafting any qb in the first round. i like wentz but it’s looking like he’ll be gone before the rams pick.

I’ll be fine if they keep either, and they both have minor character “flags,” but I covet Johnson’s size (ha!) and think he is more scheme independent. How about you?

I favor Johnson for pretty much the same reasons.

Not that JJ will be easy to replace, but, these guys seem to find corners.

yeah. the one thing i don’t worry about is their ability to develop defensive backs.

quite possibly the freakiest athlete in the history of the nfl.

Clayton speculates on QBs. SF stays with Kaep. Philly Bradford @ 16M-. Dallas gets Johnny Helicopter as a backup. Rams may be looking……? rg3 gets no love, maybe Dallas, maybe(PUKE) Rams

i’d take a chance on rgiii. probably doesn’t matter as it sounds like he wants to go back to texas, but maybe he just needs a change of scenery. maybe a coach like fisher will be better for him.

Why disagree when the front office efforts towards marketing the team to the season tix holders and local fans was so abysmal? The fix was in for the move to LA simply because StanK tried to drive business away in ’15 and money is mothers-milk to StanK.

well like i said had the rams been staying in st louis i think the approach would have been the same. and there was no intention to lose. shoot. had quinn simply stayed healthy and foles merely been mediocre my guess is the rams would have made the playoffs and the rams still would have moved to los angeles.

to be fair to gordon i don’t think he’s trying to say that the rams were intentionally tanking a season or that they had a lousy draft.

i think he’s just saying that they were building for 2016 not 2015.

ok. maybe they weren’t lied to. i think they were misled at the very least. spanos was shocked by the lack of support he received when it came time to vote.

i also think this rams chargers agreement is a farce too. i don’t believe the nfl wants two teams in la. not at this point and not when they can use it as leverage in the future. the chargers will be back in san diego. the nfl wants the chargers in san diego. ok. now i’m just going off on a tangent.

but i do believe there was a conspiracy.

so three of the past four super bowl winners will have been based primarily around defense and the run game.

Agreed, but with a variation. Seattle and Carolina of course have running qbs.

so you’re saying they should draft dak prescott…

haha!

seriously though before that was flacco. so it can be done.

interestingly paxton lynch and carson wentz are supposed to have some running ability. so between those two and prescott there are some options there in the draft for running qbs.

two teams that have great defenses. carolina with the second ranked rushing offense in the league. denver’s passing offense ranked only 14th in the league.

so you can win with defense and running.

so three of the past four super bowl winners will have been based primarily around defense and the run game.

that makes me smile.

my guess is wichmann and brown become at least average starters.

and yeah. absolutely nailed the first two picks.

if mannion were to become the eventual starter they will have essentially laid down the foundation of their offense in one draft.

chances are that isn’t the case but nice to imagine.

Signs of promise. Upward trajectory. IMO.

.

yeah people have to remember he is actually younger than rob havenstein, and he came from a program that probably wasn’t the best for developing young linemen whereas rob came from a pro linemen producing factory. plus he plays the less difficult of the two positions.

on the other hand there were reports he wasn’t taking his job seriously. let’s hope it’s just a matter of maturity.

and yeah they did add a lot of talent on the oline last year. some good draft picks. some solid signings. hopefully it all comes together next year.

so what is the final verdict on robinson 2015?

i’m wondering what people’s opinions are on his 2015 season. complete failure or signs of promise?

also what are the options if he doesn’t cut it? battle?
