He will not come, we have a losing record. talk is Minn shuffling $ around to try and trade and cap fit

I'm calling it. Goff starts OR CK is on a very very short leash.

Either way, we see Goff in the next 2 games.

Start with his preseason performance...and move to the fact he's not starting despite a woeful performance by Keenum last Sunday. That says enough to me! You and no one else is going to convince me Fisher would rather lose a game than start Goff. Why would he hang his job out there like that?

Meantime you've provided nothing of substance that shows Goff is ready other than saying "he can't do any worse than Keenum".

I can equally say Mannion cant do any worse than Keenum.

Fish is correct in that the Wrs screwed up those plays but who is responsible for those wrs? It's not like they are rookies or are learning a new system. Fisher is responsible not only for these Wrs being on the team but for their play as well.
I find him blaming them in public to protect his QB laughable at best.

Missing my point

The WR's should be held accountable

So, disagree

Today I learned my boys at Arsenal suck. Huh who'd have thunk it.

According to the OP article, the Broncos and the Patriots specialize in this, while the rest of the teams only do surface studies. The Cowboys are used as an example by DeMarcus Ware.

Here it is...

Ellard will get in the HOF....It's just gonna take a lil time...Patience...in all things...

At this point we don't know if we have the next Tom Brady or the next Ryan Leaf in Goff, but with our current coaching staff we most likely have another Brian Quick that will take years to show anything in the NFL.
At this point I have very little expectations for Goff and even though I do not think that Keenum has been terrible, I wish that they would give Mannion a shot to try to save the season. Or at least make it more entertaining!

C. Replacing the coaching staff.

That's one of the problems about using statistics to predict results......by using a limited number set, then extrapolating it forward in a linear manner assumes a linear result. Too bad football games and their (results) aren't linear!

I disagree with King and all these other folks crying for Goff. If I'm Fisher I stay the course that's laid out for Goff. This is what he said:
“What I’ve been saying since day one is we’re going to be patient with him,” coach Jeff Fisher told reporters on Sunday regarding quarterback Jared Goff. “Case [Keenum] is our starter. [Goff is] progressing, he’s getting better. As he said, he’s learning from his mistakes, he doesn’t dwell on them. . . . Case is our starter right now and, again, patience is the word. You can put it in quotes. We’re going to be patient with him.”

How hard is that to understand???

I liked Person more than Arkin.
But, the Rams invested in young Gs. Let them do their thing....whatever that turns out to be.

A Great Bye Week Subject to Post @12intheBox

For me personally, I cant look one single day past the Month of November. These 4 games I will become obsessed with for various and obvious reasons.

As you most certainly know the Rams will need to win a minimum 3 of these 4 contests to pack up a 6-5 record for their unpredictable journey heading into the battle month of December.



On paper I can debate like everyone that there are 3 victories here to be had. Now thinking they're getting all 4 of them is beyond my reality of thinking so no damn way am I going to mention http://data:image/jpeg;base64,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 ' ing this entire group. Lets take a look a closer look at our dance partners for the month of November...

Nov. 6 Panthers- They have the 2015 MVP slumping Cam Newton who can still on any given Sunday make them formidable. Not a team the Rams want to let hang around in a close game in the 2nd half. Fortunately their Secondary can only cover WR's for about as long a stripper keeps her top on. This as of today seems to be one of the games I favor to get a victory and snap the 3 game debacle the Rams need to put behind them.

Nov. 13 at Jets- This being an East Coast road game and a strong defensive team combined with their own version of Keenum (Fitz) makes me think it will probably only take 17 points to win it. The question is will the Rams bring 20 points to the table or loose a 17-16 4th quarter nail biter? I think this game is not as easy as many will take for granted but clearly a game the Rams should be competing in until the final quarter.

Nov. 20 Dolphins- A team nobody wants to play at the moment because they are putting up ridiculous college football rushing stats that have everyone gushing. They may not be as hot by the time they arrive in LA for this contest but no matter the Rams will be quite thankful this is at Los Angeles. I will be watching the Phins closely the next 2 games to see what the hell all the hype is about. If this game was happening this Sunday I would probably pick the Dolphins.


Nov. 27 at Saints- This game has a feeling of the Detroit game so it might take 30 points or more to win. If there ever was a game you could hope for Gurley to bust off 150 plus this might be it. Or maybe Keenum has another 300 yard air duel with future HOF'er Brees. Either way we all know this game is as winnable on paper as they get but how the Saints are playing leading up to this contest and if they're still alive in their division race, makes them an unpredictable team that is always dangerous on their home turf.

This was just a mini generic break down for now until the games get closer but as I stated earlier, the month of "NOVEMBER" is as far as my eyes can see on the schedule..

No doubt for us Rams Fans next month will be......

I can barely wait!

Teams in the rebuilding stage aren't looking to trade for players. They want draft picks to build a new system how they see fit. We don't have draft picks available to offer.

Even if we did, I'm not convinced we are a contending team anyway so trading for veterans like Staley makes little sense.

This type of change doesn't make that much sense to me. Going from a west coast run oriented offense to an air raid spread offense mid-season? There is a learning curve associated with that as a unit. This type of change might suit Keenum and Goff best but what about the matchup problems an already struggling offensive line would face when implementing a whole new blocking scheme on the fly? This type of thing takes at least an off-season to get going.

Any chance the rams could trade Keenum?

Given Fisher's feelings about Keenum, why would they want to do that?

Click to expand...

haha, bingo.

.

I think the O would be improved all around if coach Groh were the OC. We all see that the WRs are much improved, remember the last 4 yrs no WR could get open ever, we see them running free this season, if only we had someone with a cannon that could get the ball to them. Groh had to know the run side of the O prior to being named Rams passing game coordinator and he appears to have the ability to teach and get results with the WRs, I'd be willing to bet it would work with other O position groups as well.

Fishers best chance would be to have a solid OC forced upon him and let the OC do what he feels the Rams O needs to do to be successful, not what Fisher wants them to do, but what the OC wants to do.

And just how long has it been since John Gruden Coached!?! And How long was Dick Vermeil out of Coaching before he came to the Rams!?!

Click to expand...

I don't want Gruden and Vermeil went 9-23 in his 1st 2 seasons.
If we have to go through 2 years of dreck I don't think I could take it!

The trade Fisher made is keeping him alive no matter what at the moment. What coach wants to come in and develop this rookie QB that we couldn't even get onto the field or try to put a new system in place with extremely limited draft capital to do it?
