Fun thread. Im guessing not many have seen Mariota play, not much love for the dude in these rankings.

1. Wilson
2. Carr
3. Mariota
4. Stafford
5. Luck
6. Newton
7. Cousins
8. Prescott
9. Dalton
10. Tannehill

Definitely a gamer, and definitely better than I expected.

I'm going to be lazy and not rank em all, but my top three are Carr, Mariota and Winston, and in that order.

I wanted us to get Carr so bad.

Dalton and Tannehill are trash. I'd take Kessler above those two.

I gave in and finally trimmed my grizzly beard back to a 3 guard this morning. However, I did get a pic sent to me this morning that was taken just yesterday. It captured the amazing beauty of that wooly bugger,,, so I thought you guys would enjoy gazing upon it's glory. :snicker:

In your case, I don't blame you

OTAs start tomorrow and the Rams only have 2 QBs on the roster?

I wonder if there is a veteran out there that they are feeling out.

Or if they'll just pick up a couple camp arms from the local area?

Kupp would demand a lot of attention if he started playing on pace to 70 balls; D's would shut it down before he got there, for reasons not the least of which because he's a rookie and also if there's no one else to take the pressure off him (hope I'm wrong about that).

Click to expand...

Nah. Guys who play in a good scheme and who have next level understanding of defenses plus route running are very difficult to shut down.

Cupp is not an athlete who can be focused and removed with a guy on him. I think 70 catches is an accurate expectation for him.

Congrats LR!
Wonderful achievement.

I can identify with some of your experience.

In my 30's, I was still struggling, didn't really believe in myself and going nowhere career wise.

My Dad helped me with an opportunity and I've been pretty darn successful. I've risen to a position that I would never have dreamed of in my career. My former manager, who has retired, referred to me as a cult hero figure to our Corporate HQ ....an upper Midwest company while I am a Southern boy.

The respect and recognition is the most gratifying piece.

Good luck as you continue!

That's a nice paying gig, if you can get it...

Great video clips. I never knew McVay was so speedy-fast. Or maybe those HS defenses were just slug-slow. :alien:

All I could think of, watching this Video is, Why did he never go out for the Pro's!? and This is our New HC!! :wow:

Just remember this not the chargers stadium as they will be paying rent to the RAMS and Stan to use it. So they should not factor into the name at all.

I see your point but remember that Stan is an extreme capitalist.

Reminded me of an old joke Den,

Where do Hillbillies go to find a spouse?


Family reunion.

Those Pitt DB's should be arrested for aggravated assault, they were mugging every WR within reach.
Ya, Roger's pass blocking is the real deal, had some nice run blocking too with a few pancakes to boot. Sprung that RB for a TD 3/4 through the video. Stands up LB's and DE's. Can't wait to see him in pads!

When I first saw this headline I was like, eh, no biggie. Then when I thought about it more it seems like another rule that a Patriot is skating around. Entitled punks. On Giselle, when I see her pic I try to look for an attractive quality, can't find any other than her money. On the other hand I always thought Olivia Munn was hot. That youtube vid where she's clipping her toenails, naked (blurred out) --- yowsa.

On the broken leg, I can watch it fine. There are some disgusting things I can't watch but that's not one of them. My sister though, a longtime football fan, can't watch any replay with bending limbs like that. She'll hold up her hand and turn away, no curiosity there.

bubbaramfan said:

I have to disagree with you ramification. Your idea that it doesn't make "business sense" to have a UDFA beat out a 3rd round pick is exactly why Fisher got fired. Its about winning, and starting the best players with no regard to where they were drafted.

You're suggesting just because you got drafted early you have a lock on the 53, is how teams finish in last place.

How often do 3rd rounders not make the team? I cant think of any

“We’ll try to find a 60-year-old guy with a beer gut who can stand in and be a quarterback of one of our teams,” Lewis said. While that sounds intriguing, Lewis will need to decide whether he wants it to be a competitive football league or a reality-style sideshow.

Paging Brett Favre..call on line 1

I don't know if it would have helped Goff to start the season or hurt him. He took a beating in 7 games and playing in 16 games he could have had a serious injuy.. Goff got NFL game experience and came out healthy. Goff really had a lot going against him. Spread offense and not under center in college, pocket passer not a option thread and limited off season practice. Looks like things worked out for the best getting a healthy fresh start with a high quality coaching staff.

Nice catch! I love remembering Dryer's Record, I for one have never forgotten it!!
BUT I have to admit I didn't remember the 1984 Giants game. IDK IF that's still a record or not,, maybe someone can enlighten us!!?!

Click to expand...

Just double checked, 3 safeties in a game is an NFL record and the Rams hold it. This one is pretty unlikely to be broken.

Was a strange game. The wind blew the goal post over sideways during warmups so the start was delayed several minutes while they fixed it. Then on the opening kickoff a confused Ram player stood and watched the ball roll into the endzone without touching it and the Giant's Phil McConkey fell on it for a TD. The safeties were 2 blocked punts and a sack, all in the 3rd quarter, so the Rams' NFL record for # of safeties in a quarter is a lot safer.

It's really nice to see the face's of these young men, the Thrill of there 1st camp! I hope they all become super stars!!

Anyone have extra tickets in some good seats? Or maybe post the games that you plan on attending. I'm looking to head to either the FourtyWhiners or Seaquacks game.

So sick of naming rights now. Nothing can be untouched, now it's gonna be United Airlines Memorial Coliseum every fucking time there's a commercial break or they come back from commercial. You already know United will wanna just slap their logo everywhere around that place. Fuck United Airlines and screw the NBA with going on on stupid ad patches on the uniforms.

His size is the type that tends to get injured. Every type of TE tends to get injured. A few examples for you:
Gronk
Scott Chandler
Todd Heap
Troy Niklas
Austin Sefarian-Jenkins
Jace Amaro
Crockett Gillmore
Kyle Rudolph

Injuries are a fact of life for TEs. It's just like HBs. They both play positions where you take a physical pounding.

Look at Graham from Seattle.

It's just nice to see some young blood come in at TE position. Hated Kedricks play , even when he was open it was nervous time. Alway remember Cook fumbling as well.

I think Sullivan will start and we'll be happy, but I love the plan McVay has implemented to the point where I feel the center position is well taken care of. The difference I feel between just after the groy deal fell through and now is night and day and really shows the difference in how the new staff addressed a key position as opposed to how fisher would have handled it. You know he would have been calmly feeding us how Barnes could only improve, etc..

I would imagine everyone has a different standard of meeting that definition. For me personally, I have to cop out and borrow from Justice Stewart -- by stating "I shall not today attempt to further define it ... but I know it when I see it" -- because listing all the disgusting examples of how the Whiners had no honor would take a few pages at least, or maybe a book.

Jerry Rice - illegal stickum
Fast Eddie - illegally paying players extra cash under the table
Carmen Policy - illegal salary cap manipulation

Just a few of the worse ones. But hey, I always hated them mostly for the same reasons (plus a lot more) as I hated the Cowboys and Vikings, because the Rams were good enough to beat them but came out on the losing side more than I wanted to see. Plus I lived in a state where a lot of their fans jumped on the bandwagon in the 80s when before then you hardly saw them around, and then became arrogant and entitled. Uh oh don't get me started! (too late!) :fuelfire:
