the thing some people don't see is how many times our receivers saved Austins butt. he would throw high a lot and our receivers payed for it. keenum is a good backup not a starter Davis is a 3rd stringer at most.
Like what Britt has been doing all year? Oh please! Davis had to play from behind every game and he had Jared Cook to blame for his loss versus Dallas. Had Davis been on this team it would be 5-2. Seeing as the defense was horrible when he played and Keenum has been gifted a great defense and his WRs playing great.

I'm really not sure which way to go on this question! It is true that had the Rams won, this question wouldn't be asked! And I think 3 of the 4 Int's where not Keenums fault! But, with the exception of Quick quiting on his route, for what ever reason, I don't Blame the WR's either!
The BIG problem is we have to get our run game/ Gurrrley & Cunningham going. What ever it takes! I don't know how!! But No team should get itself into a position where it has to pass 53 times!!
Fisher has said Keenum will stay the starter because he didn't Lose these games. And he has also said Goff will be getting extra reps next Wednesday and Thursday. And that Keenum doesn't need the Reps. Maybe he's hinting at something. Maybe not! We'll see!
Blame the jackass coaching that had them throwing 53 times in a one score game...

Mannion can't see the field. If Mannion were to step in for Keenum and REALLY light it up, that would make the organization look bad. They traded a large bit for Goff. Tha absolute LAST thing that this coaching staff needs is for Mannion to blow up when he was on the roster all along. They can't say " we knew what Mannion was capable of all along," because if they did after he blew up, they'd look foolish for drafting a QB in any round, let alone dropping a boatload of picks for Goff.

A HUGE part of going all in on Goff is burying Mannion.

I was only half kidding when I said that Hekker would take snaps before Mannion.

Making a coaching change doesn't mean you have to wait another 4-5 years to be good - particularly if you have talent on your roster. The 49ers changed coaches from Singletary to Harbaugh and went to the NFC Championship in the first year thereafter (and were a muffed punt away from going to the Super Bowl).

For that matter, installing a new offense doesn't have to be a 4-5 year process either. Martz came in in year one and installed an offense that only the would-be starting QB, Trent Green, had any experience in. We know what happened to Green, which means our eventual starting QB that year had to learn a new offense as well. Thus virtually every player was learning a new offense. And yet, right out of the gate they were able to run it effectively (with the word "effectively" being an understatement of epic proportions). To avoid getting this discussion sidetracked, I am not suggesting that someone can come in and turn our offense into the GSOT right off the bat. What I am saying is that someone who is a good teacher, who can relate the concepts to the players, who can implement a system that easy to learn and one that doesn't rely on excessively verbose playcalls, etc., can install a new offense that can be run with great efficiency right out of the gate.

As for the WR's, these guys were all brought in by Fisher, through the draft, with the exception of Britt who was a free agent.

The thing that makes me hesitate most about replacing Fisher is the defense. It isn't broke, and I don't want to change it. For that matter, I don't want to change most of the staff, and would love it if a prospective new coach would retain Williams as the DC.

If Fisher has to go, it's because he's gotten us to a point where he is no longer able to move the team forward. I recognize that he had a huge task in rebuilding this time when he first took over. And he has largely done a good job with that, as the roster is leaps and bounds better than it was at the end of 2011. Furthermore, I understand that he had two seasons in which his staring QB was lost with an ACL tear, which is hardly his fault. But that being said, his approach to offense is holding this team back - it is the reason we can't seem to take the next step. And given his history, both with the Rams and previously the Titans, that doesn't look like it's going to change. Thus, barring a sudden, unexpected change of approach by Fisher, it's really beginning to look like that moving on is going to be required for this team to take the next step.
Dude stop bullshitting, what your saying is we just need to bring a great teacher in like Mike Martz! :sneaky:

Well, in your opinion of course.
That only becomes fact when 100% of the world shares the same view.
And even then ... still an opinion.
Well it's a FACT that jet fuel cannot melt steel beams....

You shouldn't use an ellipsis at the end of a sentence.

Now you're just making a habit of it. You should break that if you wanna become a writer.

Here's an example of its proper use (to give pause and express mood):
I read this stuff ... and I just want to vomit.

Is Case Keenum your brother or something?

Do you want a winning football team or no?
No, I'm rather fond of the status quo.
What kind of question is that? Of course. Everyone does.
Are you telling me that if the Rams subscribe to your master plan, that's what we'll all get?
