Maybe it's like McDaniels without Brady. Generational players can make decent position coaches look special. Nathanial Hackett, Mike McCarthy (green bay edition), etc.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
The injury thing is weird. How did Farve play so many games and never miss time? What about Dickerson - a running back who carries the ball that much and just keeps popping up. If I knew the formula for figuring out who will be durable, I'd be working in the NFLby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Daniel Jones, Kyler Murray last year, Burrow, Tua last year - I'd like to see some stats on QB missed time as it correlates to age. Is it possible that it has nothing to do with age?by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Seahawks and Cowboys will have 2 of them, most likely. It's that doughy middle that we have to try for to get that final wildcard spot - Vikings, Bucs, Commanders.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com

It's just words on a page. Nothing more. absolutely zero information. Then there's this gem: '...I feared that he may lose his spot on the Rams depth chart to his teammate, veteran QB Brett Maher' What is going on at turf show times? It's not just bad writing, but apparently no copy editing either. I would wager that this article was written by chat GPT. I'm serious - it's just a colby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
You work with the guy for months, see him in meetings, on the practice field - see the work he (likely) puts in. He's won a couple of actual NFL games. Has a good week of practice. You feel comfortable - if he can just move the chains enough to score about 17-20 points we have a shot. Then he gets on the field and soils himself and embarrasses you for trusting him.

How else would he have come to this decision?by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
No reason for that dud to have a locker and take up a roster spot. Get a vet backup- still some out there- and if Matthew can't go - make Dresser the #2 - I mean, he couldn't be worse. That's not an expression - that's a fact - Rypien's performance was one of the worst in modern Rams history.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
The run game has been bad since Williams went daown. A big part is blocking but it's also the marginal talent of the the 2 RB's used. What benefit is it to trot out Henderson when he'll be gone in '24. The guy averages 2 yards per carry. Does not have burst, does not make people miss and does not break tackles. 'he knows the pass protections' - really? And yet our QB's are under constant pby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
The entire organization - front office, fans, and especially every player in that locker room. They expect the best from the players but when they needed to acquire a competent back up quarterback - they failed, misereably. Why did every poster on this board know Rypien wasn't up to the task and they didn't? I get it - they had a plan for a long term back up with Bennett. It didn't work - okby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
I imagine they've looked into it - but it sure helped Kurt with grip issues with his oft damaged thumb. I think it probably takes a while to get used to, but 75% Stafford is greater than 110% Rypien.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Top picks can and do miss all the time. A lot of bad teams pick in the top 10 year after year. It's the sign of a poorly run franchise in many cases - from the ownership down.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Behind every great coach is a QB who makes them look good. Bellichek, Reid, Payton, McCarthy (Aaron Rogers McCarthy - not Dak McCarthy)by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Kind of an odd addition. D-line is a strength for them. They need receiver help while Deebo is out. Miller made a big difference for us, but Chase Young is no Von Miller. Also OBJ was a huge add as well.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
I know they have to fill a word quota and the firing is NFL news - but to try and force fit a rams spin on it is pretty pathetic. Several coaches will be fired at the end of the year. Just like every year. Many teams will lose a lot of games and have early picks. Just like every year.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Hows about we see how the season plays out and be realistic about the patchwork roster. We have the most rookies on the active roster in the league, I believe. If not, then close. We've seen breakdowns in every phase at different times so far. Last week it was all units at once. The team is uneven. Just like everyone said it would be from training camp on.

C'mon. Call out the play calling and time out management, etc - but this is really digging to fit your world viewby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Come here for one game and be a backup. Get 3 game checks and probably cut after the GB game. If he stays in Tampa he might hang there for rest of season. I don't think it's a black mark on McVay or whatever nonsense is being speculated about. Maybe he likes to fish and pay low taxes. Who knows.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com

He signed an extension so he wouldn't be a rental. We have Long coming off of IR and Allen and Hopkins. The way we use the TE it doesn't seem like he would be missed. Not sure if we could get much more than a late round pick and what the cap implications are but his drops have been brutal (yestday on a catchable ball from rypien who needed all the help he could get). If we could get a lateby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
I believe in him as well. For those that want him gone - if you think he's worse than what's out there, who's out there that you think is better? Or are you just enamored with the idea of 'surely someone has to be better'. Maybe see how the season ends before you pass judgement. He didn't forget how to coach. This was never supposed to be a deep playoff year, so why are you holding them toby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
He's very skilled, for sure. Hasn't translated into Pac 12 titles or playoff appearances. That might be coaching and talent around him, but if he gets drafted - guess what, it will be on a team that doesn't have a lot of talent and may have suspect coaching. It takes more than talent to be a difference maker in the NFL. Some things you can't teach or measure and there are also circumstancby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
I would say pretty good. As much as I hate to say it they were kind on a tear last year and were knocked out due to injury in the nfc title game. they are my least favorite team, I have nothing but revulsion at their success - but you have to admit when their middle of the road QB's are healthy (Jimmy and Purdy) they are hard to beat.

He's a proven talent and a bright mind and took a terrible franchise to the playoffs and 2 super bowls. He's also young and has a passion for the game. What unproven assistant or retread coach who's free would you prefer? After the coaching sh8t show this team has endured since the 90's I can't, for the life of me, understand why some of you want to ride him out of town.
