InvaderRamModeratori think last year was an aberration. meaning 2014.
he started out hot the first four games but petered out the last two games before getting injured the seventh game.
i’d let him go.

InvaderRamModeratorgreg! hopefully this is some sort of launching spot.
as far as donald. i keep saying it but best rams defensive lineman in last 25 years already. it’ll be a joy to watch this guy grow over the years.
InvaderRamModeratorI’m glad they played Keenum the past few games so I could see what he has to offer. Hopefully, the Rams can upgrade the QB position before next season. They’ll have some options. I’m not sure if a rookie project appeals to me at this point.
Keenum’s a gamer but he’s just not good enough. He misses on too many throws. Definitely need an upgrade at QB.
i would say yes. and i’m not entirely confident mannion is either.
InvaderRamModeratorthis is a very bad 9er team. how they go from beating seattle at seattle to losing to the niners is beyond me. and i realize that gurley didn’t play today, but the 9ers are bad.
InvaderRamModeratorthey’re at a stalemate right now. the only other thing i can see happening is spanos gets his stadium in san diego and then kroenke gets the blessing to move. that would take years though and that’s exactly what i don’t want to see.
InvaderRamModeratori used to be sure.
but i’m not so sure anymore.
based just on the stadium project i would think the inglewood stadium would be miles ahead. wondering if they’re trying to pressure stan into making a deal with spanos.
in the end i’d rather just not have to read articles on this ever again.
I’m the same.
I was sure last March. Not so sure now.
And I wonder the same thing about Stan/Spanos. That they want something more from Kroenke, a little bigger slice of pie for Spanos. That is a possibility.
And I’d like the issue resolved this month instead of delaying it another year.
yeah. don’t let this drag on for another year.
InvaderRamModeratorwhat would you say are the deepest positions in this draft?
InvaderRamModeratorkeep boras. draft a wr. but most importantly draft a qb. i think by far the rams biggest need at this point is quarterback.

InvaderRamModeratorlooks like maybe connor cook will be there when rams pick. either that or get a second tier qb. i’m not gambling on keenum or mannion being the answer if i’m the rams.
InvaderRamModeratori guess rams win the trade?
ya know i really feel bad for sam. how many different systems is this guy gonna go through?
InvaderRamModeratorlooks like wichmann had a breakthrough this last game? haven’t watched it yet. hopefully that’s 3 linemen they can count on next year.
InvaderRamModeratorgreg robinson – only because the divide between expectation and actuality is so great.
quick? cook? ehhh… i wasn’t expecting much. maybe quick. but somehow i’m not surprised by his performance this season. same with zeurlein. that’s who he is.
hopefully though. we see the real robinson next year.
InvaderRamModeratorsure. why not?
at the very least that running game with gurley, austin, and kaepernick would be confusing to defend i’d imagine.
InvaderRamModeratordon’t get me wrong. the wins mean a lot to me. i just got a little bit annoyed watching long and ogletree engaging the fans. when in reality this win doesn’t mean AS much when you realize the seahawks are making the playoffs and the rams are not. i really wonder if this team realizes that. they should be pissed about how this season ended injuries or not. i wonder if they’re content with being mediocre every year.

InvaderRamModeratorall negativity aside i am encouraged by the reports on the oline. didn’t see the whole game but hopefully this continues into next week. get some momentum going into the offseason.
InvaderRamModeratornot trying to be a wet blanket, but this game meant more to the rams than the seahawks. seahawks had no chance at the division and had already secured their playoff spot. seahawks were looking past this game.
would i rather be swept by a divisional rival and make the playoffs or would i rather sweep a division rival and hopefully not have a losing record?
hmmm… still don’t feel like these rams get it.
Then why was Wilson in there risking injury after the unicorn was singing?
he needed the reps…
ha!

I don’t know about all that. They drop from 5th seed to 6th seed if the Vikings win again next week. And what kind of playoff team takes another team for granted? You’d think they’d want all the momentum going into the playoffs that they could get, and to keep their streak alive. There was also mention that the seahawks’ locker room was very somber. As if they just lost a playoff game. So that leads me to believe that they wanted this one bad.
they can talk about how much the game meant to them. how badly they wanted it. but at the end of the day the rams’ season ends next week. again. the seahawks are going on to bigger and better things. and whether they won or lost. it didn’t make one bit of difference in terms of making the playoffs or to who they face in the playoffs. yeah. momentum could help propel them to another superbowl berth, but that team has been there done that. this rams team can hang its hat on a lot of promise and talk but little else.
and i don’t put it all on the foles vs keenum. i don’t know that keenum would have been the difference of 3 or 4 games.

InvaderRamModeratorgood stuff. the thing that most impresses me about him after the quickness is the hands. not just getting off blocks but when he gets his hand on the ball carrier, the dude is going down.
InvaderRamModeratorunfortunately this isn’t the best year to be drafting a qb.
InvaderRamModeratorIt’s like I’m watching his college highlight reels come to life in the NFL. I think that he’s the best defensive player on any defense that I’ve watched week to week. I’m trying to remember anyone really that close. Think about it: Even great DEs like Carter during his heyday, Little in his best games and Quinn in recent years haven’t been able to dominate game-in, game-out like this guy. DTs just don’t get to the QB this often.
I don’t know about the Donald vs. Watt stuff. Watt is a stud and deserves all the accolades. But, Donald is probably the best DT in football, or at least there’s nobody better.
Too bad Quinn got hurt. This line will be hell on wheels with both of them in there.
yeah. better than carter. better than little already. best rams dlineman in the last 20 years. another eight years of this and who knows?
InvaderRamModeratori think that his ability to break tackles will get better the more he plays and the more confidence he gets in his surgically repaired knee. as fisher has said i don’t think he’s quite at 100% yet. not until next year.
InvaderRamModeratorin my 21 years of watching the rams i have never seen a defensive lineman consistently make so many outrageous plays as donald does. truly feel blessed to watch him play.

InvaderRamModeratorwell at least since bruce became a niner.
InvaderRamModeratori’ve never been so conflicted…
InvaderRamModeratorDonald is special. Only a few teams have been able to slow him down. Relentless. Strong. Quick. Tenacious. Fierce. Pick an adjective you’d like for a DT, other than tall, and you can pin it to Donald. It’s so much fun watching him blow up an offensive play. He has to be my favorite Ram right now.
i think gurley would have to be my favorite, but only because of the position he plays. i’d say donald is 1b to gurley’s 1a.
December 15, 2015 at 11:16 pm in reply to: Gurley v. Martin? (ie. the official "can the Rams beat the Bux" thread) #35696
InvaderRamModeratori’d been hoping for some more consistency from gurley at this point. to go along with all the explosive plays. unless they can actually accomplish that i don’t know how effective this offense can be.
reminds me a little of the lions when they had barry sanders.
InvaderRamModeratori’ve read that this isn’t the best year to draft a qb.
but there’s still some talent there. do you go with potential in lynch or the pro ready guy in cook?
sadly last year would have been the perfect time to draft mariota.

InvaderRamModeratorthis regime seems to be good at picking defensive backs, defensive linemen, and running backs.
