If you could choose one player from the 99 team

[lockdnram21]

i a take either faulk or Pace and its not even close

 

[LACHAMP46]

Pace

 

[Elmgrovegnome]

London Fletcher would be my pick. He would be even more of a human wrecking ball on this D.

 

[yrba1]

Bruce but it's very close with Faulk, his veteran presence will help tenfold than Britt especially in the route running department. Our backfield is stacked with talent although Faulk can lineup with our receivers the same way Austin can lineup at the halfback position.

 

[HE WITH HORNS]

Let's not get ridiculous here, Warner would not make our WRs into something they are not. Austin Pettis would not become a pro-bowler, and Chris Givens would not all of a sudden become a hall of famer. Warner throwing to a bunch of bums would still make them bums.

Holt, Bruce, and Fitzgerald were all great receivers without Warner. Quick isn't going to suddenly "get it" just because the ball is placed in a slightly more catchable position.

1- Warner
2- Marshall
3- Bruce
4- O.P.
5-T.H.
Then you got:
Az Hakim
L.F.
Proehl
Vermiel- Martz
De Marco Farr
Leanord Little
Man I loved that team.

From 4-12 to champs. Unbelieveable!

he might not get it but it sure would help in a more catchable position

How dare we expect these receivers to catch balls that hit them in the hands?

It takes two people to make a pass work, and more often than not, Bradford was not the problem in the equation last year.

Warner could throw the best pass ever thrown, it still won't help our receivers get off press coverage, or make pre-snap reads, or run sharp routes, or work back to the ball when the QBs under pressure, etc and etc.
Is Bradford really the problem with them? If you took say, Bradford, Warner, Bulger and concussion Chris Miller out to a field, would Warner really hit a target more than the others? I doubt it, otherwise he'd have been played more before '99 or drafted. What made Warner so great on the field was impeccable timing and the ability to read where the ball had to go. He was accurate of course, but he also could throw to a spot without ever seeing the receiver based on trust. And he could do that because Bruce and Co, or Fitzgerald and Co, were where they were supposed to be when they were supposed to be there. Can we honestly say the same thing about these wideouts?

I think I'm gonna change my answer. Faulk was the best player on the Rams team then, but we need Bruce or Holt now. We have a run game I think already.

This post probably needed an editor.

Im not saying its Bradfords fault but on some passes I've seen maybe they were catchable. But they would have been amazing. Like when he threw it into
Double coverage vs 49ers. No way that interception was Quick fault. Even commentators said it was Bradford fault. I still would take either Pace or Faulk from 99 rams

With Long's health in question, I think Pace would be the player that would actually make the biggest difference on this team. The rest of this team is ready to break out with Bradford leading them. The other 99 players would be nice, but IMO would not make the difference Pace would if Long can't go at LT.

 

[DaveFan'51]

Faulk with out any questions! he did it ALL running, receiving, coaching other players, he made the whole team better!! how many other running backs can you name that can run 35 or so yards from scrimmage without any blocking assistance. in and out and around and over opponents for a score! Vermeil even told Faulk, when he did it, "..you did that all on your own!"

 

[Selassie I]

Warner would be my choice.

 

[DCH]

Pace. In '99 he was 24 years old and just hitting the stride of a HOF career at what I believe to be the most important position on an offense. I'd happily field a line of Pace - Robinson - Wells - Saffold - Long. Yikes.

 

[Sum1]

Faulk...you can plug him into any position on the field and feel like you have a competent player.

 

[Boffo97]

I doubt his punting skills.

 

[Rmfnlt]

My initial response would be Faulk.

But those that are saying Bruce because the current team needs WR guidance makes sense to me.

Bruuuuuuuuuuuceee......

 

[Rmfnlt]

Warner all the way...he would change the way our recievers look instantly!! Hell, he would turn Brian Quick into a beast!!

He's not a miracle worker! LOL
