I Was Wrong About Pead

[hotanez]

Yeah. Ace.
Arguably our best (non-returner) special teams player, per Fisher.

No not even close Reynolds, Bates, Watts, and Alexander are better. Fisher lied if he said that or he was drunk.

K then.

I think that Pead will be back in the Fish's dog house and won't get another touch unless all of the other RBs are dead!
I hate players that make you hold your breath every time they have the ball because they fumble so much!
Yeah! Im talking about you too, Terry Metcalf!

 

[kmramsfan]

Yea, Pead is going to get cut. His ball security issues are just too great...even with his improvement as a runner.

Gotta agree. I don't think the light is even screwed in let alone will it ever "come on".

 

[BatteringRambo]

I dislike seeing a post that he almost lost us the game. Hello, we WON. Would you say that to him personally? Yeah we had some fuck up moments i.e who let Foles get hammered on the CB blitz etc. Sorry this shit gets so old to me. RBs will fumble, damn man. Sick of the whining bitches.

 

[GcBean]

I would cut him tomorrow and bring in Brown. Pead gives you nothing... If he brings out the kick you know he isnt getting to the 20. You can pick up anyone of any practice squad and they are already better than Pead.

Shit, I can catch the ball in the endzone and kneel it down. Cut him tonight. IMO, he brings no positive value to the team. He's had multiple opportunities to prove his worth... Sorry IP, you haven't done that yet.

 

[Zaphod]

I was pulling for Pead too, but thay fumble was just unacceptable. Also, why in hell he is taking out kicks instead of Benny is clearly waaaay over my head, was Benny not first in the NFC in average kick return yards last year?

Oh well, was nice to know you Isaiah, but he's gonna have to show a lot to get back in my good books at least.

Fatigue man. Pead was put in when Cunningham needed a break. I'm guessing the coaches had enough of what they saw from Austin dancing at the line of scrimmage. I know I was thinking it, and wishing they would give Pead a shot.

Then they did, and I shouted Pead! He jumps through the hole with authority for what looked like 7 yards and fumbles, then I shouted Pead again, cause he messes up as soon as he gets his chance.

Now I'm not criticizing any of them, Austin made some great plays, and wow did Cunningham show up to play today! Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses, but everyone stepped up, including Pead who kept a cool head on ST instead of trying to make up for the fumble out of desperation.

But this team is going to really open up some eyes when we get Mason and Gurley on the field.

 

[LACHAMP46]

No you weren't...Pead is Peading...I don't crucify guys for fumbles..Check my Avi, guy was a known fumbler, but look out when he got rolling....
Clearly...read every comment, and most seem to think he's the only guy that made a mistake today...We overcame the mistakes, and will only get better....So will Pead...
And yes, he's one of our best ST players..Think he's on every one except FG's & Xtra point team...Every single one...Fish doesn't have to lie about that...I costs NOTHING to cut the 4th string RB...And if he'd gotten some more carries, I bet he'd have ran for over 100 yards....Easy. Watch him next game. Tre has a hammy issue, he'll probably be out for 2 more weeks...or rather doesn't play for 2 weeks.

 

[Zombie Slayer]

I'm torn at what to think about Pead. I would agree that he is on thin ice. If Pead has anything at all, he should know he has three games to show it. Because when Watts is back and Mason and Gurley are back from injury, he doesn't sniff the field probably. If he has any fight in him we will see it by the bye week. Then again, not every team has an Earl Thomas who can come make that hit on you.

 

[VinnyRam]

He's not the only one to make a mistake today.... However, he never makes any great plays and most plays are usually bad and I dont buy this special team stuff. If I were a betting man, I would put many $$$$$ that pead would have not run over 100 yards.

 

[rdlkgliders]

I've criticized Pead since day 1, I've just never seen anything out of him when it counts, it has always sickened me to hear everyone praise and overhype him.. I want him cut ASAP

If he fumbles at a crucial time I will cut him myself.

I agree.

Part of me has to wonder if he isn't just suffering from some of the most terrible, awful ridiculous luck. Yah he's fumbled a few times, but good lord he's only gotten the chance to run it a dozen or so times. Is it possible that maybe the defense has just made incredible plays those few times that he's fumbled?

And then last year. He's looking great in preseason and looks like a legit KR. And then tears his ACL on a normal cut... I mean shit. The kid just can't catch a break to save his life.

I'm sure that he bears a fair amount of responsibilty for his fumbles, but beyond his own mistakes the kid just seems to have the gods conspiring against him.

The guy who punched the ball out was none other than Seattle's most valuable DB, Earl Thomas. Earl has a knack for making timely plays.

Yeah, this. He wasn't nor will he be the only person to make mistakes on our team. That much is apparent, but others make up for their mistakes by helping out the team.

It's all about having pros that outweigh the cons, and Pead just doesn't outweigh his cons and never really has. He's nowhere near the tops of our return yardage and the few times he's been allowed to get touches he's fumbled it away.

Even if you like what he brings to the ST, Ray Ray was also an ST dynamo, but his stupid play and boneheadedness didn't save him from getting cut because what little he provided didn't make up for what he was taking. So far in Pead's career neither as he, so why shouldn't he be held to the same standard if not higher than a UDFA?

Sometimes being a preseason dandy isn't going to cut it.

LOL no way Lachamp46 he gets 100 yards! Remember when you said he was better and surpassed Benny. Sorry bro I luv u man but you have a crazy man crush on pead. I will say this if he gets another chance I will cheer for him to do well because I'm a Rams first but I really hope he doesn't play anymore.

So sad you don't like when others call out a player. Get the hell over it. Yes I would say it to his face. As for you calling us out as whiney bitches grow up.

 

[BatteringRambo]

I never called YOU out, did I? Look back. I've been here a long ass time and saying to cut a player was brutal. I'll let the mods dictate my status now because I won't go further. BTW I also donate here so I like to contribute in a professional manner.

 

[JUMAVA68]

Well if everyone that messed up got cut we wouldn't have a team to field.I was just a mad as anyone when he fumbled but luckily it didn't cost us the game.I would keep him on a short leash he's still a good ST player who can play rb in a pinch. Now if he doesn't make plays on ST then yeah he's gotta go.

You don't have your starting RB bringing out kicks. As long as Mason and Trey Watts are our and Gurley hasn't been brought in... then Cunningham is the starter and as such, you can't really have him doing ST work unless it's special, like Faulk during the Super Bowl.
