So if Stafford were to miss games this season, and Ty Simpson leads them to victory in his absence, would it still be a "fail"?
 
Anything this front office does won't be perfect as there are so many variables. I hope they keep at it for many years to come. The Rams can't win every year, but we can be in the mix every year and be entertained. Go Rams.
WOW!

Oh.. yeah.. you're right.. I'm oblivious to all consequence.. while the people who suggest the organization knows all and is always right are the sensible ones.
The people who think if a rookie WR isn't in the top 5 in the league right out the gate isn't someone who can contribute to wins.
The people who don't consider better depth, especially for special teams, could easily be the difference in at least one game.

Please.. get over yourself.
We're fans.. and we pay attention.. we just have different opinions.
Yeah, that's the retort when somebody bucks your criticism of their "plan".

"You're suggesting the organization knows all and is always right"

Don't be an asshole, nobody is suggesting that.

It's simply your take is bizarre and ever changing. And yes, you don't know a fraction of what they know.
"They shouldn't have taken a QB, TE and OG....they should have taken a WR and LB"
"They didn't have to draft anybody. They could have traded for established vets"
On one hand, you suggest a WR high in the draft was going to be a savior, when Ferguson was supposed to be that guy in 13P.
On the other hand, you totally ignore the cap ramifications of gathering established vets for picks. Oh sure, you pointed out, they always seem to manipulate the cap to make it work but didn't they do that with taking on Garrett's salary, signing Watson and giving McDuffie a new contract? In other words, you have no fucking idea what they're cap situation is going forward.

Here's some more I'll offer for your retort library.
"They don't run enough"
"They run too much"
"They use too much 13P"
"They use too much 11P"
"They don't blitz enough"
"They don't play man enough"
"That keep everything in front only works with the lead!"

You are INCREDIBLY full of shit.

“Savior”?!??

There’s no reason for me to exchange with someone who is going to misrepresent everything and go into full histrionics…

It’s like talking to Sheldon after he sits on a dirty chair.
 
Figured there wouldnt be an answer
Well.. if that start comes with the Rams outside of the playoff picture, what would you say?

I’d say, I’d need to see tha actual game and what role he played in the victory.

Saying he played and they won ain’t enough info.

I am? So your position isn't what we really needed and what would help immensely is a #3 WR with one of the first two picks in the draft? I labeled it "savior". So sue me. It's basically the way you've carried on about it.

There was no reason for you to exchange with anyone, once that weak assed bullshit opinion on how the plan "failed" was called out by most people in this thread.

Sheldon? LMFAO.

Your hypocrisy is only surpassed by Howard the lobster eating Jew and Raj, the burger gorging Indian.

But good Big Bang reference there. Snead/McVay are like theoretical physicists while you're like an engineer or worse, cheesecake factory waitress.

I'll stop. I've had my fun. It's all good. Keep bitching dude.

*you* are Sheldon… incapable of processing contradictory information.

You are creating arguments for points I did not make.

Get over yourself.. you came at my thread… not vice versa.
 
What are we talking about!!? The Rams spent $252 mil. in the offseason on extensions and free agents.
That doesn't include trading for Garrett.

They were massively aggressive this offseason and expended resources to the point that people accused us of compiling a super team. They have already sacrificed some cap beyond any team in recent memory.

My quibble with the complainers is that it lacks knowledge and all perspective. At the very least, don't complain with extreme ignorance. >>Rant over<<
Damn, calm down killer, its only conversation lol.... I simply said there are different ways to approach the draft and constructing the roster off of that and that gets you? There are areas of depth that were not given enough attention to some of us and that makes no sense? Okie dokie I guess..... I'm assuming you are complaining about ur favorite current poster in Pupped whom we all know you love and adore but if I'm included in there, well thats pretty interesting to say the least.

Don't worry, if they don't entertain us we'll do it ourselves here at ROD. If you really wanna have extra fun, just say something like Simpson was the wrong pick! It'll spice up the party! :laugh2:

Well, comprehension matters. I said lead the team to victory in Stafford's abscence
But again, what more info would you need when you've already proclaimed it was a failed plan?
Brock Purdy led San Fran to the NFC Champ game as a rookie, if Ty did the same? Yeah, I'd say it was damn good planning.
