Sad thing is — they will all be damn-rookies.
I dont want the Rams to have to ‘start over’
with a damn-rookie.

I’m secretly kinda sorta hoping
Hill and Bradford or
Bradford and Hill will get the job done.

I dont want a Rookie running the offense. Sigh.

I can imagine this scenario, though I am just speculate-atizing.

Bring in the rookie, who’s the #2, and start Hill. Bradford is the #3 and then after a bit you assess. Or Bradford is on the PUP, Gilbert or Davis is the #3, you then have a chance to bring SB back and you assess THEN. The “assess” can go a lot of ways, from start Bradford to keep Bradford the #3 or he stays on IR etc. (lots of things could happen) and then see how things look after the season.

…

I think thats the best approach. I think.

I’ve never seen the word “paradigm” in a post about the NFL, showers, and sexuality before.

Oh well, I suppose I’ll get used to it.

Shouldnt we ban him, or suspend him,
or take away his shower privileges or
somethin ?

Well if Sam doesn’t ever take showers,
i think it could be an issue.

============================

Hill will have camp-arm by midseason
——

Hill has thrown 16 passes in 3 years, rest can either work for you or against you.

I’m betting it works against him because his muscles have likely atrophied.

If the Rams stand pat with Hill and Davis, it will be a grave mistake.

Well, even though Sanchez looks reborn under Chip Kelly, I still wouldn’t do anything.

I’m still enamored with Hill now and Brett Hundley next season… Rams are ready to roll.

Well, you sound like you have

Perfectly reasonable viewpoint.

As youve said the qualifier is
if an Andrew Luck is sitting there.
You never pass on a guy like that.

Btw, its obvious to me
the Universe
wants Fisher to have another
.500 year.
That’s whats goin on here.

I don’t foresee them cutting SB next year.
He knows the system, he’s got great talent,
he’ll beat out any young QB they draft.

So, i imagine they’ll be patient with him,
and not ‘count’ on him, and bring back
Hill if he does well, and they’ll draft
a QB in the first or second round,
and they’ll sort it all out.

Its tricky though. Balancing the money/cap-hit
versus the starting-over-with-a-Rookie thing.

I could have tried to be fairer to Long because I had never thought he was going to be ready for the regular season. I do believe he was put in a bad spot. My gut says the Rams think they’ve still got this franchise/Pro Bowl tackle when not only 2013, but 2012 even, should have told them different. It’s always felt to me like Long was being rushed back, which seems completely unnecessary when you have Saffold and you spent the #2 pick overall at tackle. I’ve been leery at times with those options, too, but Saffold or Robinson has to be preferable to a guy coming off a knee injury and who’s barely played.

The ease of Bradford’s re-injury makes you wonder if he came back too soon, doesn’t it? Everybody can’t be Adrian Peterson.

Good to see you on
our quirky little board,
Mike.

Could be Long and Sam came
back early, but these are such
difficult judgement calls to make.
No-one can tell the future.
Jake and Sam looked ready to go
in practice.
Ah well.

w

They are not gonna cut him.
Not happnin.

And i am pretty sure
he’ll be ready to compete again
next year. Who knows,
maybe he plays all sixteen games
next year and leads them to a ring.
Comeback player of the year.
Who knows.

They’ll draft a QB though,
thats for sure. Maybe more
than one. Probably look
at some Vets too.

Can you imagine how Bradford
must feel right now?

Well, without commenting on past-history
and what it was and what it meant, etc,
It sure looks like EVERY team is gonna
go downfield more with these new rules
limiting the Defensive-Backs.

I mean a coach would have to be nutz
not to air it out NOW.

I’m expecting a great air-show in game One…
from ‘every’ team.

I’m just glad they signed Hill. I think they can
win with Hill.
And i hope they keep drafting QBs.

I dont know if Bradford is a china-doll,
but he dont seem to be an Iron-man either.

So if Trumaine Johnson is done, what
does the starting Secondary look like?

My memories of this are vague. But in the back of my mind, yes, some criticized him for doing that with Bulger. In fact if I recall (and I am hoping someone with a clearer memory jumps in) bringing up the Eli thing was one way of defending him. It’s like, see that’s just Kurt.

Maybe Warner’s too good

He could be better post-surgery

Hope so, but I’m assuming he hasn’t
be able to really work out for a while.

I’ll be mildly surprised if he is the
