wvParticipantMina gets to J.Jackson at about the 3:30 mark or so.
wvParticipant
wvParticipantOkay. Just don’t draft Bill Hawkins, Adam Carriker, or Sean Gilbert.
3/4s of Some sort of Mt. Rushmore, there.
w
v
wvParticipantHas he said anything about ‘why’ he retired now?   Just curious.
w
v
wvParticipantGlad for AD that he’s getting out healthy and at the top of his game.  How many players have walked away in that condition? Jim Brown. Barry Sanders.  A few others maybe.
Merlin and AD.  Both spent their whole careers as Rams.
I’m nonplussed, though. Still in shock. Thought sure he’d stick around two more years.
Certainly a big challenge for the Rams, now.  Changes expectations, for me, anyway.
Big challenge. How do they manufacture pressure, now?   Sigh.

wvParticipantNick Wright has been high on the Rams for a while now.   Has the Rams and the Lions in the tier just below the Chiefs.
(i like nick wright, btw. his tv-personna is truly-annoying, but if you can filter that out, i have noticed he tends to be right about a lot of things, and his analysis is often better than the other celebrity-pundits.)
wvParticipant
wvParticipantI was a-thinkin maybe the Rams would get Flacco.
Who’s gonna be the backup?
w
v
wvParticipantChris Long. Always so articulate.  I wish the Rams experience had been more fun.   Ah well.
w
v
wvParticipantThe national media guys are all aflutter over the Russell Wilsons and Saquon Barkleys and D. Henrys, etc etc.  The splashy stuff.
I havent heard a single word on the Rams and what they are doing.
But, man, i like what they have done so far.  With a few hits on draft day, i think they can challenge the 49ers, Lions, and Packers for the NFC.
Give Stafford an inside running game, and inside protection, and he will be deadly as per usual, one would think.

wvParticipantI saw a bit of this vid and it startled me, because the guy talking to Jason Kelce is a body-builder knowns as ‘mountain dog’ on the internet, and — he is huge. His arms are like telephone poles.   But compared to Kelce he looks like peewee herman.
Anyway, I cant see how the Eagles can replace Kelce.  I suspect its the biggest single-player loss in the NFL this year.
w
v
wvParticipantI never hear a word about Wentz.  He would be as good a backup as there is in the NFC.   Why is it a foregone conclusion he is leaving?
w
v
wvParticipantFwiw, I Love both signings.
Run the F’ing ball.
w
v
wvParticipantOk, great.  But i’m still pissed-off that Zack Martin wasn’t a Ram.
w
v
wvParticipant
wvParticipantSaw a stat on the Patriots.  Over last ten years, they have had 18 first or second round picks.
Of those picks on 1 made a probowl, and that was QB Mac Joens who made it one year.
Zero first team all-pros.
Zero players signed by Pats to a second contract.
w
v
wvParticipantJust a reminder of what Noam thinks of the Republican Party.  At the 5:09 mark, or so.
wvParticipantRams locker room at So-Fi, rated D+ (bout the seven minute mark)
wvParticipantBears GM, was once the the Chiefs scouting director when they drafted Mahomes.
“…There are QBs who are artists, and there are QBs who are surgeons….”
wvParticipantSpags from five years ago.
wvParticipantExcellent.  Wish it was a two year deal.
Need Kupp and Higby to get healthy.
w
v
wvParticipantWhere would Andy Reid rank if someone else had drafted Mahomes?
Belichick never won a super bowl as a head coach without Brady.
It gets tricky ‘ranking’ head coaches.
I always thought it was significant that Joe Gibbs won super bowls with three different QBs.  Though, the QB position is probably more important now than it was in Gibb’s day.

wvParticipantSome rams highlights in the first few mins, in this vid.
February 23, 2024 at 4:37 pm in reply to: “the draft” thread … ie. not “the Rams draft” thread … #149508
wvParticipantYeah, i saw a Mel Kiper vid, where he says he doesnt know what to think of Michigan’s QB.
I had never heard Know-it-all-Mel say anthing like that, before.
w
v
wvParticipantUmm…..how many attendees at the Ram games were actually Ram fans?
w
v
wvParticipantThe Uniforms, though. The uniforms.
w
v
wvParticipantRG3 (who played for shanahan) has some interesting things to say, here.
wvParticipantInteresting.
wvParticipantConcerning next season.  So, if i had to pick between the Chiefs, or — the other 31 teams?   ….man, i dunno.  Normally, i would never favor one team over the field, but….the Chiefs look poised for a three-peat.  I mean, they probly wont lose much at all this offseason. Maybe one guy in the secondary, i think.  And they will probably upgrade their WR corps.
I guess, I’d still pick the field.  Bills, Bengals, Ravens, Browns, Lions, 49ers, Rams, Packers…
But, I dunno.
