Who?

Be smart to. However, Barkley did take a discount with the Giants to remain loyal to them. I think there may be a chance he may request a reasonable raise. Philly would be smart to give it to him. Without him, they would have never won a Superbowl.

Some all time Rams greats at RB and where they were drafted: 2nd overall, 10th overall, 2nd overall, 24th overall, 10th overall

So is Kyren our Lawrence McCutcheon or should we reach higher?

Right or wrong, I’m not excited if Kyren is the guy for the next few years.

Extending Kyren is a mistake.

I keep checking into this thread hoping the extension talks have dissolved. There is no reason to extend a RB before their rookie contract is even up. What is Kyren tears his achillies? His already unimpressive speed will be even less impressive. I still maintain, Corum is just as talented.

100%. McVay had CJ Anderson on a role. McVay can do it with any back and we need more ball control and explosive plays.

If you extend Kyren, you're to me admitting you wasted the pick of Corum.

Lol
You know how many backs they've tried since Gurley? None of them could "do it" like Kyren
I'm all for upgrading the position if they have a better player, but no way do you let a guy go until you have that guy on your team
As long as the extension is in the 6-8 mill per range and the guaranteed money is only in the first year or 2, they should absolutely extend him.
Now if he wants the "franchise" RB money, like 12-14 mill per? I'd drive him to, and drop him off at the bus stop myself

Then why did you draft a spitting image in Corum?

 

[Elmgrovegnome]

Who?

Typo. Fred Warner. I should have read it before hitting send.

Is he the spitting image of Williams? There are lots of RBs that size but Corum doesn’t seem to weave his way through tight windows like Kyren can.

Get your car engine started. No reason he wouldn't be asking for $12-14m.

Glad I asked because I was thinking the Seahawks' Leonard Williams.

 

[Mojo Ram]

Kyren has a year left on rookie deal. You already drafted Corum. You need more one-on-one explosion at RB…and should be drafting and scouting for better talent there every year anyway.

Let it play out. If he walks he walks. Keep churning the position.

The way I see it, Corum has more weave to his game, Kyren has more power with one cut. Also think Corum has more speed (as combine suggested). Also, I believe Corum led all RB's in bench at combine. Not that its a super important stat, but does suggest he may have more power then he has shown in his brief chances.

I fully believe if you gave Corum those 300+ carries like KW, he would produce similar numbers.

You keep saying ‘I believe’, but so far we haven’t seen any of it.

I liked the pick but I thought we would see more instant production. RB is not a difficult position to transition to the NFL. Good backs can shine in their first season.

Corum definitely has more wiggle then kyren a couple of those runs that got called back kinda looked like shady McCoy
