Got to love it when posters like yourself want to put words in my mouth like that's what I said lol. I never once said there was a pick that would carry them to the one seed and Super Bowl birth but here we are because you said it. How about I reverse this for you.... Is Klare going to carry us to the one seed and a Super Bowl birth? .......I'll say this again because apparently I have to.... That pick is going to be criticized because it could have been used on any player or any other position that could have gotten actual playing time. When a second round pick doesn't get any playing time and there are injuries that should allow him to, it's going to definitely be second guessed. What's funny about this question/ exercise is someone could say oh Antonio Williams, Caleb Douglas, Bobby Boucher, etc and you'll start giving stats like it means something. There is zero way to tell how a different player would have done under the tutelage of the Rams coaching staff and said positional group. We do however know that Klare hasn't done anything with us at all.
My point is no draft pick was going to put this team in the SB. So thanks for realizing that.

Thats why they went out and brought in two immediate impact, pro bowl vets using 26' draft capital directly with McDuffie, and indirectly with Garrett.

So I am consistent on that a 26' draft pick was not going to help much on this particular team. However, others claim the draft decisions derailed the SB season. So please be consistent in yoir stance. Did the draft derail the SB season, or didn't it? If not, then why harp on the Simpson pick or the Klare pick?

Klare played 26 snaps against the Chargers due to injuries. So he has contributed to a win this year. Used as a blocker in 13 personnel. Wasn't targeted on any of his routes, but he played.
 
Some of you keep moving the goal posts.

First you say we needed to draft someone who could help this year since we had injury prone starters.
Then when we point out Klare played 25 snaps on offense, last week when injuries hit the TE position, then you laugh it off as he only played due to injuries. You guys are hilarious.

Those puppies have been on roller skates this entire thread. This thread started when our record was 3-4. We're now 5-4. So at the 7 week mark the Rams plan was determined to be "a failed plan". Since then they suffered even more injuries but won both their games. Now they're headed into week 10 and then the bye, so I figure if they win vs Arizona and get healthier over the bye week, I figure the geniuses in this thread will determine, not only was their plan a failed one, but they will have compromised the future...maybe through 2028. You can't make this shit up!!!!!

There isn't any goal posts moved. Klare played and did exactly nothing. You're bragging that he played 26 snaps with zero passing game impact (which he was drafted for). Can't make this shit up lol ....you can't change that its not a good look for a 2nd round pick to get the minimal playing he got because of a massive amount of injuries but keep fooling yourselves.

Again you keep inserting your own info and things I never mentioned, kinda showing how weak your argument is. I've said multiple times I'm on board with the trades, I'm ok with Simpson yet you keep bringing it up.....why is that? So we can't criticize any draft pick after that? You are consistently bringing up shit I didn't say, I'll give you that. Asking if a draft derailed a run is pretty weird question as there is no telling if getting another player would have had a different impact or any at all. Every time I say this though, you apparently don't understand it and I'm not sure why. However, its pretty obvious that Klare isn't doing anything as a 2nd round pick (26 snaps with zero catches 9 games in is not something to brag about). 2nd round picks should have higher snaps than that if they are good enough so it leaves it open to question. I'll leave it at that and simply say we obviously disagree there because you're apparently going to keep defending the pick.
 
To those arguing enough wasn't done, those talking about a succession plan seems like a coping mechanism.
To those arguing they did a whole lot, those talking about a failed plan seems like 20/20 hindsight incessant whining and complaining.

For me, those arguing the Rams didn't do enough, that this was an all in year and they should have done more, that this season is over, I just have to SMH and wonder how in the fuck do they cope with everyday disappointments in their life? NFL football, Rams football in particular is entertainment and I'm thoroughly anticipating how the Rams are going to attack the rest of this season, while these fans have their heads stuck so far up their ass, crying about what could have been, or more accurately what should have been since they know as much as any NFL GM, that they can't possibly enjoy anything positive that happens the rest of the season. Seems like a huge waste of time to me. Fuck NFL football. Go surfing. Start a band. Restore an old car. Because this NFL shit just ain't for you.

What a trash ass comment....guess I shouldn't be surprised you like throwing personal insults because people have different views. I think there's some advice there at the end you probably should take for yourself as your responses seem like you're a pretty miserable person to be going that route so constantly. Hopefully one day you stop losing your shit over what people say, its only a discussion board. I won't hold my breath though.

He played in 13 personnel and McVay said he did a good job blocking. I guess blocking doesn't count?

Eli Stowers can't get on the field for the Eagles, a higher 2nd rd pick, because he can't block, and that team has had next to no TEs when Goedert was hurt.

Again, you move goal posts.

You seem to be the one "losing your shit"
 
Give it a fucking break Chappy, will ya? I'm not interested in going round and round with you because you don't bring anything of value to the table. You're a fucking parrot. You repeat what you read, or hear. You accuse me of being angry when over and over I've said, I'm not. NFL football is entertainment to me. But your responses sure show a huge amount of anger. Not just towards me but anybody else who confuses you with an actual argument. As the kids used to say, step off.

I'm not, he's not a good 2nd round pick is my stance. I'll say that regardless of his lowly snap count. He also said CJ is doing good. Just because you counter with you moved the goal posts, which hasn't been moved, doesn't help change the fact that I keep coming back to he's not a good 2nd round pick.

Exactly!!!l Let the angry bird fly away!!!

These geniuses seem to think draft picks are all the same and all in the same situation. As if it were that easy!!! Ferguson, a 2nd round pick, who the author actually claims to like a lot, had 25 snaps through the first 6 weeks last year. According to the OP's view of draft picks, he must not have been talented enough to get snaps. Truth is, he had Parkinson, Higbee and Allen ahead of him, he was a green rookie still learning the system and it wasn't until injuries occurred that he got his snaps. Sound familiar? Yes.....to a T. Except Klare actually had more guys ahead of him, was a green rookie and was trying to learn the system. But he, according to the OP and the parrot on his shoulder, didn't have enough talent. You can't make this shit up!!! Can't wait to see what they have in store for the rest of us the remainder of the season.

Who said I want to go round and round with a fragile mental poster? I'm posting my own thoughts, but again you keep going on and on that I can't post my own thoughts. What a joke lol.....yup telling people fuck the NFL do something different with your life, they have their head up their asses, etc is not being angry. You can't handle others opinions without going to insults and it's shown. You've posted way better shit than this but you go off the rails for whatever reason. I'm not surprised anymore at how much of a douche you can be. There's a time and place for that but you are alarmingly talented at activating that at the weirdest moments.

Aw the old lemme join forces with someone so my argument looks better hahahaha..... don't worry fellas, I'm laughing at how ridiculous your rebuttals are but hey believe what you like. I'm doing just fine over here but thanks for the concern!
 
You 26' draft nay sayers. Here is a proposal a radio host in Philly mentioned. Would you do a 26' draft do over by trading Simpson for Lemon?

You get your WR, playing in the same style offense under Manion. So he is not out of touch with what you are doing. You get him for a QB that is sitting on the bench.

Do you do it?
