plus he’s also supposed to be a very good receiver.

rams move to la in 2016. chargers move at a later date.

and it sounds like oakland is making progress toward a new stadium.

Naturally, I’m in a pessimistic “wait and see.”

I’m looking forward to the pre-season, obviously. I mean…I’ve NEVER seen Foles play. So what the hell do I know? Just what I’ve read.

i’m in a cautiously optimistic wait and see.

i think we’ll see a foles closer to the 2013 foles.

but what are the rams going to do to help him get back to that “2013 foles”? oline is still worse than it was last year. yikes! i also feel like they need to add one more skill position player on offense.

also. foles has some injury concerns of his own.

and then also. what happens after this season? if he plays well, rams are gonna have to shell out big bucks just to keep him. or is there a larger plan? do they draft a qb this year with the intention of developing him for the future?

Maybe we should trade down and take Cameron?

i’d be more inclined to do that than pick scherff at 10.

i think i’d prefer gurley. he’s got extraordinary size at 230 pounds. it’d be a nice complement to mason’s quickness. i like melvin gordon too, but i’ve read that he isn’t the best between the tackles. and i tend to favor the sec running backs as a general rule.

i was reading about his acl injury. it was a clean tear. no other structural damage besides the ligament. and he’s already supposed to be ahead of schedule. by the time the season starts he should be 9 months into his rehab. and even then he doesn’t have to be pressed into full time duty. he can share duties with tre.

he’d be great value at the bottom half of the first round.

and besides i think fisher’s offenses did the best when they had that running game. eddie george. chris johnson and lendale white. as positive as i’ve tried to be i’ve not been too impressed with the running game so far. i’m not sure mason can carry it by himself. and i don’t think cunningham is good enough.

please. please, fisher.

please help foles be the healthiest quarterback he can be.

obviously mariota too but zero chance he’ll be available at 10.

if they can fix that oline. and if mason is the real deal. i feel real optimistic about the rams this season. especially with the niners taking a dip.

i think thomas needs to chillax about the whole bradford trade lie.

they should at least finish in the top 10. if they don’t, i’d say this coaching staff needs to fired.

would you rather take that superbowl and see them leave or would you want them to stay and endure more mediocre seasons? just asking everyone.

although for a lot of people i guess it doesn’t matter where they are.

You get a #1 … OR …

You get a proven, starting QB.

You don’t get both!

yeah. you and zooey both make excellent points. i guess for now i’ll say yes. but i think ultimately it comes down to how far the rams can go with foles as the starting qb. now obviously that’s not solely on foles. it will depend on the offensive line. the running game. the defense. and the front office. they’ve given themselves cap room and some extra picks to go along with nick. let’s hope they can make it all work.

ok i take that back. i do believe the rams could have gotten a first round pick for bradford, so i’m going to have to rethink this one.

My hope is that Foles does extremely well, but I have some serious concerns.

… the answer in my mind is if you’re getting rid of Bradford, upgrade.

They got a player that’s healthy, now…but is he better?

I don’t think so.
…
The Rams apparently had options, for their were other team(s) that had interest in Bradford.

The Rams chose Nick Foles as the catalyst for the trade.

I think they chose the wrong catalyst.

The Rams need a franchise qb. They still don’t have one.

Well considering my views of Nick Foles and what he brings to the table, I would have to consider several other options.

Let’s say Cleveland was one of the other teams with interest. They have two 1st rd picks, 12 and 19th.

Could the Rams have traded Bradford to them for their 12th pick, 19th?

Could they have then traded their 10th and 12th or 19th to move up for Winston?

Or how about IF as you say the 2016 qb class is better than 2015, stockpile picks for next year and play the season with your boy Keenum?

Or how about Bradford to Cleveland for Hoyer and one of their 1st rd picks?

How about making some calls around the league being proactive, instead of waiting for somebody to call you.

That’s what most teams do when they actually want to move a player.

I’m spit balling here but with some reasonable options IMO.

well ok. if the rams could have gotten 2 first round picks or even 1 first round pick. then shame on the rams.

i know kelly said he was offered a first rounder for bradford. but if that’s true. then i’d say kelly was dumb for turning that down.

the dline has been very good. but more hype than actual substance. they need to be better what with all the draft capital that’s been spent in that area. just too inconsistent for me so far.

yeah. i don’t think they keep jenkins or johnson. they still have gaines, but it’d be wise to draft a defensive back or two this year.
