Drop Quick, Pick up Shorts

[tavian]

The hope is for that guy to be Thomas I would think

Now thats funny.Thomas is only on the team for his kick return and coverage ability.
As many drops as quick had in preseason he still catches the ball way better than Thomas
who had about 6 drops and two receptions in preseason

It's hyperbole, but what has Quick done to earn a roster spot outside of being the 33rd overall pick in 2012? The guy is a very bad NFL WR. That's not hyperbole.

He was raw started to learn to play in the NFL then had a horrific injury. He was starting to look pretty good before he got hurt. People who use stats to argue his worth are lazy and didn't like the pick. Tell me what QB we had that would have helped his stats? He saved Austin's ass many times on high throws last year as did Britt. No one has any idea what he will do with a good QB. Every receiver has drops he has less than any of our receivers in the last 4 years.

Mike Thomas take his position permanently. He's a couple inches shorter than Quick, but his range and athleticism is miles ahead of Quick's.

Mike Thomas is and has been a drop machine.I would hope they could find someone
capable of catching at least half of what hits their hands.

Not defending Quick's play at all. But hyperbole? That's what you're going with?

I'll give Quick one thing, he's a good down the field blocker, which happens to be important on our team.

Agreed. Now if he could play Wide RECEIVER.

 

[DR RAM]

Agreed. Now if he could play Wide RECEIVER.

That would be nice. Does that require catching the ball????

Now, if USC can stomp Alabama, then I'll be happy.

This is true, and they knew that when they drafted him. But he'll make just as many huge plays in his career too.
Kinda like Terrell Owens.

You'll see.

Exactly my thoughts on Thomas. He may not have Spruce or Cooper's hands, but he can get open, and if he gets over his rookie jitters, look out.

Wisconsin upset LSU, so anything might happen.

You'll see.

I will have to before I believe it.Just looks like another in a long line of "Drive Killers" for the Rams

Me saying Fisher and Snead should be immediately fired was hyperbole on my part. Saying Quick is a poor WR is my opinion that is hard to argue otherwise. It's his 5th year in the league. I would like to see examples of guys turning it on in their 5th year. I think you'd be better served going with a younger unknown quantity over Quick. But what do I know?

 

[FRO]

Obviously the Rams do not agree.

Well good thing they have a long track record of winning and making the right decisions to put me in my place.

And I think you know it is the fire so and so mentality on which I was making comment. The fire the coach mantra doesn't fit the hyperbole defense on a football board - especially when you've made it quite clear how you feel about them.

I'm not going to keep going back and forth on this with you. It grows tiring that here we are with ... how many games played this season? and people are calling for heads to roll. You've been here long enough to know that is not what this board is about.

I can see how you've arrived to that conclusion after 10 NFL career targets.

Sorry for having a more cynical point of view when it comes to year 5 of Fisher and Snead and decisions. I just feel like keeping a guy who has been a major disappointment at a position where we have sucked for a long time to be aggravating.

And your aggravation is shared.

Go RAMS!!!

Kinda like the Goff's a bust storyline.
There are people who watch, (and maybe even enjoy ) the NFL, (but more importantly, their fantasy team), who really should stick to watching Dancing with the Stars.

I really should know better at my age but I swear to god , too often I just want to:headexplosion:

I arrived at that conclusion from watching college game tape.
you see he had drop issues in college as well,but then again when you have
4 to 6 drops and only 2 receptions out of those 10 targets thats no a bad place to start.

Not at all.See above:headexplosion:
