    Also, on the Game Winning drive front I am not sure its a measurable/meaningful stat, because the context of does your team get behind in the first place is important. For example, Kurt Warner only had 4 in 50 starts with the Rams (8%), but I would take him in the clutch over Goff every time. Bulger had 16 out of 95 starts (17%).

    In the division:
    Goff has 8 GWDs in 65 starts (12%)
    Russell Wilson has 30 in 138 starts (22%)
    Jimmy Garappolo has 7 in 32 starts (22%)
    Kyler Murray has 5 in 27 starts (19%)

    Heck, former Rams back up Blake Bortles has 8 in 73 starts (11%)

    QBs with a similar number of starts include:
    Mariota has 15 in 61 starts (25%)
    Dak Prescott has 15 in 69 starts (22%)
    Nick Foles has 12 in 55 starts (22%)
    Deshaun Watson has 10 in 48 starts (21%)
    Baker Mayfield has 7 in 40 starts (18%)
    Jameis Winston has 11 in 70 starts (16%)
    Mitchell Trubisky has 7 in 45 starts (16%)
    Wentz has 10 in 66 starts (15%)
    Patrick Mahomes has 6 in 42 starts (14%)

    Current active leaders
    Drew Brees has 53 in 283 starts (19%)
    Tom Brady has 47 in 295 starts (16%)

    https://www.pro-football-reference.com/leaders/gwd_active.htm

    I guess my point is, Being clutch is more of a gut feel and I don’t think Goff is known as a QB who is know for his grit and determination to carry a team in adversity.

    In my life:

    1. Warner
    2. Bulger
    3. Everett
    4. Goff

    So from another angle, better than Sam Bradford, Tony Banks, and Miller in the waning years of his career. Hardly high praise.

    That is exactly how I am feeling about the 5th highest paid player in the NFL in 2020. Very disappointed. He has become a liability to this team and I for one am done hoping for a upside. In four years He has not progressed or improved in a manner than warrants making him a cornerstone of this team. He is too hot and cold and inconsistency is really a terrible trait for a QB. This reminds me a bit of Ferragamo in that regard. Personally, I am ready to let him go in 2022, when the cap hit is palatable, and roll the dice with someone new.

    They play the AFC East and NFC East this coming year. That will mask any minor steps backwards. That said the new logo should cost them at least two games.

    Goff/RB/OL are the biggest ? in my mind.

    All I got to say is fuck the “creative agency” that came up with this crap.

    A blight on the legacy of Rams marks and logos and I will not buy one piece of shitty apparel until it changes.

    Any words from Kroenke on this yet. He obviously voted for it.

    I am at a point where I may be done with watching the games at all. I forget where I read it, but someone wrote that it used you be the American ideal to stand up to authoritarianism, and now we seem to allow for it and, in many cases, embrace it. All I can say is if this was my local restaurant behaving like this, I would stop going to my local restaurant. How is providing support to the NFL any different.

    Different angle, but the year to year reminds me a bit of Vermeil 1998 vs Vermeil 1999. From 285 to 526 points. Same coach, but nearly as significant a turnaround.

    in reply to: should the Rams still draft a qb? #20356
    Avatar photoRamsMaineiac

    The Rams are presently at $3,669,000 for their QBs (Foles, Keenum & Davis), which is fourth lowest in the league. At $43,620,156 for the total offense, no team in the league is currently spending less for their offense. By contrast, we are paying almost as much as for the entire offense as we are for just the defensive line ($43,479,272).

    I am not a big fan of bargain shopping on QBs. It would seem to be an important position to invest in so I would support another QB in the mix, just in case Foles winds up being a one year investment.

    According to http://overthecap.com/calculator/st-louis-rams , if you cut Long and Wells and trade Bradford, we wind up with $25,984,097 in 2015, $70,115,005 in 2016 and $108,294,157 in 2017 for available cap.

    So after spending about $1,542,000 on Foles and setting aside a few million on the draft, who we buying with the remaining $21 million plus on? Better not be saved for stadium cushions in LA. I am hoping they get busy (and productive) in either new signings or get busy with contract restructuring/extensions (FA16: Brockers, Sims, Barron, Zuerlein — FA17: Chris Long).

    Thanks guys.

    Had a great day and look forward to the new year. From a Rams perspective there is no where to go but up right? right?

    All I want for my birthday is a Rams post season appearance in 2015/16. It has been far too long at 10 years running now — the fourth longest active drought behind the Browns (12), Raiders (12) and the Bills (15).

    Technically, couldn’t the Rams still finish ahead of the 49ers and thus alter their 2 games determined by place? (Washington, Tampa Bay would flip to Giants & Falcons likely)

    I had setup the entry forms do the next several weeks are available in advance at the Rams Huddle Pickem page.

    I do not have a utility to add other peoples scores, but may be able to hack it JoeMad since you did send them in advance.

    I agree on the backwards thing Dak… darn plugin was built for Soccer (e.g. the other football) and those darn Europeans do everything backwards. 😉

    In looking at the last 30 Years of Rams…

    • Better than Spagnuolo, Linehan & Knox Round 2.
    • On par to slightly better than Brooks.
    • Not at all as good as Martz, Robinson or Vermeil.

    The division has returned to the difficulty level of the past (Linehan and Spags blew the opportunity to capitalize on a weak division), but the biggest concern to me is there has been no growth in output. You could point to improvements in play last year over his first season, but the outcome was exactly the same. I wouldn’t be at all surprised if we were 6-7 wins this year and I am not sure if I will ever see Fischer coach a 10+ win Rams squad.

    So all that said 6.28318530718, or 2x pi.

    The login button at the top of the page has never toggled after you login.

    Tried to figure out how to do it on this software a few times to no avail.

    I did remove the mini icon the topic list and the forum list a few weeks ago, but that was a design decision not a bandwidth decision.

    Final results for Week 2 are in and PA Ram fended off an early run by Zooey to hold on to his two point lead for the season.

    Full Results can be seen here on the HUDDLE PICK’EM page.

    The Week 3 Entry form is available. First game is Thursday Night.

    I just want to comment that Zooey seems to have made a late run but certainly the best man won.

    I think we can all agree with that.

    Signed,

    PA Ram (a humble, gracious winner)

    I just wanted to comment, you were the only “Rams fan” to pick the Vikings. Just sayin’.
