That Vikings OL was impressive to watch. Three 2nd round picks and two first round picks. Lions not much different with 3 firsts a 3rd and a 5th.

I don't think he's above average at any of the interior techniques. Like for example at 5T which is a "DE" spot in some schemes he's not big enough to excel consistently vs RTs. He's a depth rotation type to my eye, who is being asked to do something he's just not ideally suited for.

Man, its gotta suck to be a Panthers fan. They might end up with the worst record and they traded away their first round pick to the Bears.

Bears beating them with a waiver wire level QB and making their pick better is a brutal insult.

Every year that we went to the playoffs. We didn't go to the playoffs every year. And LaSalle is like 4 levels above our school.

This is a weird necro but really interesting to see what a difference 9 years makes in regards to drones. Anyone can have one now.

Of which 20 mill is his salary/roster bonus. 15 mill salary, 5 mill roster. That is the $$ that "could" be saved *if* the team trading for him pays that roster bonus that is paid at the start of the league year. And you have to replace the player.
9.8 mill is dead cap for 2024 whether he's on the team or not. The remaining 17-18 mill of dead cap accelerates to the 24 cap
Personally, I'd rather they work out an extension with void years to stretch out that dead cap and keep him in horns for the rest of his career

I understand all of that. And what you suggest is probably what the Rams will wind up doing.

But what I'm saying is the salary cap hit isn't that much different if he's on the team or dealt in 2024. And, IMO, the selection of Bowers gives them a weapon that could offset Kupp and move a huge contract of a soon to be 31-year-old player who has missed games the past couple seasons. The compensation received could be used for younger cheaper talent and the freed-up cap space in 2025 and beyond could still provide room for free agent signing(s) even in 2024. ie. a 2024 deal with a large roster bonus in 2025.

Just something to consider when your QB has about a $50 million cap number next year and beyond. Sure, the Rams could just kick the can down the road some more. But finding Puka has given the team some options.

He's a Ram now, so I'm going to support him in whatever role he gets - bench, scout team, whatever.

Did You Hear What ESPN Said About Carson Wentz? - Athletes in Action

Opinion: What did you think would happen, Carson Wentz? You're too special to get the vaccine?

They were right in Philadelphia. Quarterback Carson Wentz is selfish and a bad teammate, and he's not alone in the Colts' locker room.

The Philadelphia Eagles offense is definitely set up to use a “shotgun” formation.

Sounds like he is a smart guy.......special too.

I think they only signed him for just the remainder of the year is to gauge his lockerroom presence and coachability. Also, I think Carson only wanted it that way. I'd be surprised if he didn't sign a one year deal next year. A lot will depend upon whether he plays or not and how well he does. One thing is for certain he has the arm to make every throw in McVay's offense. Sean won't have to change a thing.

If he has to play, he gives the Rams a legit chance to win in any of the remaining games. Hell, he may try to sell himself to the Niners next year. He's got to be better than Purdy who has hit a wall. The DCs now have a book on him. Pressure him and deny him easy throws in that 5 to 15 yard area. Beyond that, his accuracy and velocity fall off after 20 yards. He is what he is. A decent backup.

There is no question the Niners will be in the market next year for a QB. If Wentz has to play and plays well they will look long and hard at him to solve their problem and weaken the Rams. That's why I would rather he didn't play this year. If he doesn't play this year I think he would be inclined to sign a one year deal as a backup.

Seeing the Rams kick the shit outta of the Seahawks. Losing sucks. WIN!

PFF is total garbage IMO. Only thing missing is a t at the end of the name.
Seems like its last line of defense of someone who is trying to appeal to a higher authority in a debate. Ya know, when statistics and the eye ball test tell a completely different story

Another example for me would be Derion Kendrick ... but that's just my opinion

Even Maye has bad games. Look at the Virginia game who is not a good team at all.

24 - 48 2 TD and 1 Int

I would call that a terrible game just like Caleb's game against Notre Dame and at least Notre Dame is a very good team.

Another solid game slate for week 10.

I like it. Think its LONG overdue.

I think they know where the Rams need to improve: OL, Edge, CB, these are the positions the Rams should look at with their 1st pick and take the best one available at one of those. Of course, some of this will depend on what happens during free agency.

We wanted to share the latest episode of OnPoint - as Vince and Jackie talk about the Rams game from last weekend. Also, if there are any questions or topics to cover, please let me know. They are always into chatting about topics and having guests. Thanks!

We can only hope that this little taste of a good McSnead draft has them salivating at the thought of actual 1st and 2nd round picks.
No trades for quick fixes, keep them and jealously hoard them.
I prefer year in and year out success vs roller coaster, short term all or nothing bullshit.

Regardless of how Wentz plays if he plays. This season is the result of McVays lack off attention and being just flat complacent at PK and QB2. The week that they lost Stetson they should have signed Wentz. McVay should have drafted a PK. Why didn't he? Because he got complacent a very clear sign of burnout. He signed a PK who was cut because he was a choker. Those two instances of a lack of attention by McVay is the difference in this season. They would be 5-4 everything else being equal, with a realistic chance of finishing 10-7 and in the playoffs as the division champ or top wildcard.

Those losses point directly back at McVay and his career burnout. The very first thing to suffer is attention to detail, something Sean never lacked for. Say what you will about players this season is on Sean and his inability to focus.

My personal opinion is Sean is done. Kroenke should kick him upstairs and hire DeBoer. Better a season early than a season late.

yeah... when the hell is kyren williams getting back on the field???

go rams

Yes

The low number is a little miss-leading.
Stafford, Havenstein and Jones were all injured and did not play on Sunday.
Similarly, Higbee and Fuller were injured and did not play in the Super Bowl.
Henderson did not start in the Super Bowl; and Reeder did not start on Sunday.

Again, as I posted right above, just trying to point-out that the 2021 Rams' Team has Left-the-Building.

You talking about them cutting both Rodgers and Wilson and drafting another QB? Or did you pivot to the Rams too? This thread has been a bit of a cluster F so I'm not sure at this point.

I'm talking from the Rams point of view. We invested in Stafford so double down on him by adding a top lineman but also hedge that bet by trying to hit on a QB.
