I think Stacy's a keeper(obviously) but if he has to sit until after the bye, it would be a silver lining to force Fisher to give Pead a chance to get out of the doghouse and see if this RB stable can carry the load into 2014 or if they have to go out and get someone else. Would hate to waste any picks on a RB but if they're just going to not use Pead at all, then they'll have to bring someone else in. Would much rather find out that Pead could be a good tandem mate to Stacy and that Richardson could be a change of pace, depth guy and the Rams could focus their picks on best player available. O-line!
Yeah... I have absolutely no faith in Pead and obviously neither does the coaching staff. He just hasn't transistioned well from Cincy coming from that pure spread attack, where the QB was almost never under center. It's a pretty big difference between beginning every run laterally in a zone blocking scheme against inferior opponents athletically, and running north and south taking the handoff from the QB under center in a power blocking scheme. He has terrible vision, not nearly enough quickness to pull off the moves he attempts, and a bad case of the fumbleitis. I'd rather see Cunningham back there, at least he showed me something in the preseason.I think Stacy's a keeper(obviously) but if he has to sit until after the bye, it would be a silver lining to force Fisher to give Pead a chance to get out of the doghouse and see if this RB stable can carry the load into 2014 or if they have to go out and get someone else.

I don't even know what to think about the Pead situation anymore. No one says anything on the Rams coaching brass, and a guy with upside is languishing off the field.
i'm of the opinion Rams should play Pead is Stacy isnt fully recovered, see what we have.

I don't get it it. Measurables do not automatically equal talent, like some people seem to think. Stacy is clearly the most talented back on this team right now.I don't think Pead has ever been beaten out due to athletic ability... it's all mental for him and whatever got him in fisher's dog house...
clearly the most talented back though, from the neck down
Rams dont have the cap room to pull off a trade, unless its for a player that makes the same or less than Pead. Maybe the cowgirls would be interested but what could the Rams get in return.

Pead is a goner. Say goodbye to him.
