Complete the following sentence and justify your answer:

_____________ does not get the respect he deserves.

And no, you can't say the Rams as a whole. That's too easy.

James Laurinaitis - Defensive QB year in and out. He's very good in coverage and did really well blitzing this year, first we've seen. He is also has been very durable throughout his career. He's not a stud against the run, but he's overall a darn good player.

I don't get the respect I deserve.

I'm hilarious in a snarky sarcastic kinda way, but because I don't use blue font, my clever wit is too often misunderstood.



Seriously though
Michael Brockers doesn't get enough respect imo.

When our D is at their best, Brockers is the foundation, shutting down the run and commanding double teams.

Also, it seems like he makes more TD saving tackles 20 to 30 yards down the field than other interior lineman I have ever seen.

It's true...I've seen the clever wit.

EJ Gaines, When he is out our secondary looks completely lost.

Are we allowed to go with non-Rams? I think this could be interesting on a league wide scale.

I would say Stedman Bailey. He is in a system where the passing game isn't the prime weapon, but he just makes plays. He runs really good routes...fights for the ball...He is clutch....With a better QB, his numbers would be incredibly better

I never said otherwise, and some non Rams have already been named, so go nuts. :)

Cool, I want to throw out Andy Dalton, and wait for the flow of responses from people who disagree.
Since he has come into the league the Bengals have made the playoffs every year, and yet people say he needs to be replaced every year.
People are quick to point out that AJ Green was drafted with him and that he is yet to win a playoff game. Firstly, AJ Green is pretty much ALL he has had at receiver, and secondly; Peyton Manning failed to win a playoff game with Marvin Harrison in his first 3 attempts, and look at the career he has had. Obviously I'm not comparing Andy Dalton to Peyton Manning, just the situations that they are in, which are reasonably similar.
I just think he deserves more respect than he gets and I would gladly take him as a Ram.

Al Davis.

He became a caricature of himself (or Montgomery Burns) and hung on to control of the team too long in his old age but his lifetime achievements in regards to football are amazing. He built a feared organization as an innovative coach and coined the motto "just win baby!". Hitting you in the mouth and deep strikes were his hallmark. He was a leader in civil rights, refusing to play in any city where white and black players had to stay in separate hotels. Davis became the Raiders owner and then commissioner of the AFL (pre-merger). He actually was ticked off when the AFL-NFL merger happened because he wanted to beat the NFL, not join them. Al was never one to shy away from controversy or back down from a fight. The man's life is an incredible story.

Fans beat him up constantly because of the dropped TD and sideline rant. But the guy produces and I hope he stays here for a long time.

Corey motherlovin Harkey. He's a beast on the field and doesn't leave a drop of effort off it. And Darren Bates. He's been a special teams stud this yeast and I would like to see what he could do at linebacker. He hits like a truck. Leaguewide? I would say Tony Romo. He's been lights out this year.

I don't think people remember how PUTRID our special teams were before he got here.
