i agree with those who say the rams need a qb. so it isn’t necessarily a matter of time but a matter of if they can find a qb. if they can find a qb it could be next year. if they can’t it’ll be never. and they just need a competent qb. they don’t need a great one.

geez. i thought that foles could be at least adequate. mediocre. he doesn’t even seem to be that.

we’re in rooting for losses territory now.

oh man. this is so depressing. instead of thinking playoffs i’m now looking at mock drafts again.

and todd gurley has been shut down for the third game in a row now. i would at least like to see todd gurley finish the season strong. please just give me that. and the losses won’t hurt as much.

i don’t want receivers. i think the rams have decent receivers. i’d like a freaking quarterback.

i hope he’s ok. i hope they’re all ok.

youngest offensive line. first year coordinator. new quarterback. not a recipe for success. how much of that was out of the rams control?

i don’t know but at least part of the reasoning for a first year coordinator was continuity. bringing in a new coordinator with a whole new system. would that have made things better?

could they have brought in some veteran linemen? would they have been better than havenstein? would that have offset the avalanche of injuries that buried this offense?

what a calamity.

well i remember when isaac was having all those hamstring issues and the rams had to alter his conditioning habits. just wondering if maybe the lifting and conditioning habits need to be altered for the linemen. this has been like going on for at least the last five years. it’s getting ridiculous.

well. i’ll be watching greg this sunday.

i like carson wentz. i think the wrs are good enough.

cook. you know i haven’t really seen either play so i am really just speaking off what i have read and stats. but cook’s accuracy looks really spotty. of course. the advantage with him is that he plays in a pro style offense.

i remain hopeful that it’s just a technique and confidence issue. he’s only 23 and in his second year. he’s got everything you’d want in a tackle. and it seems like he’s humble and focused so it’d be a shame if he doesn’t pan out.

i think fans have been harsh on him though.

i personally wouldn’t just rely on boudreau to work his magic with these young guys. i’d count on maybe two ot three of those guys panning out. and then i’d draft more in the middle to late rounds and throw them in the mix but i definitely agree that they have more young guys with potential in there than they have in the past.

part of that reasoning is cuz of saffold. i think he’s unreliable. so even if wichmann and one other lineman pan out, they still need some depth. is it already there? i don’t know. we haven’t even seen enough of these guys to really know. i just think the odds are they won’t pan out. not even most of them. i can see rob, brown, wichmann, and maybe one other but then you need guys to backup and develop.

well i think most of us knew that the oline would be a problem this year given the amount of inexperience on the line. but i didn’t think it’d be this bad. i do think the rams will be in good shape though next year. the young guys will have that much more experience. some will be possibly be ready to step in as a starter.

but i think they’d be making a mistake if they didn’t draft at least one olineman. doesn’t have to be a premium pick but somewhere in the middle rounds would do.

ok. i just read the response from coach o. still. fisher seems to indicate that foles will be the starter again. i guess he thinks some time away will be beneficial.

how exactly does keenum alleviate any of those problems fisher just mentioned?

my guess is fisher thinks that to take a step forward the rams need to take a step back first? let foles sit back and get evaluate?

he pretty much says that foles will be the starter again at some point which to me seems to mean that he doesn’t think keenum is the answer.

also

I see that both Williams and Brown suffered season ending injuries on the Foles INT late in the game.

who is williams?

he just seems really late on the throws. like he needs to be anticipating the receiver getting open. instead he waits for the receiver to actually get open before throwing it. but by then it’s too late. maybe part of that is not trusting his receivers to get open? i don’t know.

not totally surprised. foles hasn’t looked good. can’t get worse. can it?

one random thought i had today. if manning was a free agent next year, would you sign him given the talent on this roster? he played horrible this weekend, but here they’d just need him to be a caretaker of the offense.
