One Free Agent Loss That You Are Still Upset About

[Loyal]

I listened to a podcast with D'Farr interviewing London Fletcher and it brought back all of the anger after the Rams essentially rejected him by letting him walk after Super Bowl 36. The guy was a valuable player wherever he went. He played for 12 more years in the NFL after the Rams for the Bills and the Redskins. He recently was inducted into WST's Ring of Honor. He never missed a GAME after he left the Rams. He was our stout MLB.

WTF, WTF.WTF.WTF!

Off the top of my head, I'd have to go with London Fletcher

 

[Faceplant]

Yeah, that Fletcher loss was tough. Not sure I can remember too many others actually. We drafted so badly for so long that not many of our lost FAs did much after leaving. I mean, I'm not shedding many tears over Archuleta or Otogwe for instance. Kinda wish we kept Az Hakim and maybe Dre Bly from the GSOT though...

I recall that he was voted by the players as the hardest hitting player in the league.

Lovie was a dumbass.. Jamie Duncan sucked.

 

[Elmgrovegnome]

I hated to see Kevin Greene go.

 

[FaulkSF]

Craig Dahl

 

[Juice]

Jamie Duncan

The ones I was really pissed about were

Jack Reynolds and Bob Brudzinski

The start of the Georgia cheapskate era

Man I hated that effing biotch

Background story on the loss of London Fletcher as I always tell people, don't let your strength become your weakness. Jay Zygmunt the Rams CFO determined that the Rams would not be able to keep both Leonard Little & London Fletcher, so because of Little's ability to sack the QB, they paid Little and then decided to be quick and replace Fletcher with Jamie "Freaking" Duncan of Tampa.

Zygmunt overvalued Fletcher, didn't even pick up the phone to call his agents, just assumed the money they would ask for and thus signed Duncan instead. After Fletcher signed with the Bills, the so smart Zygmunt said "If we had known that London would have agreed to that type of contract, we could have kept him." Nice job you putz. Again, pick up the phone Jay, but no, he wanted to prove how smart he was signing Duncan and thus the Rams lost one of the greatest MLB to ever play the game.

Yeah I hated losing London as well

London Fletcher, Ryan Pickett as a wildcard. He went on and had a decent career with GB.

London Fletcher was the most efficient MLB I've seen ( Butkis et. al. were before my time, so idk.) He was Washington's defense for years and deserved more wins. He always seemed to know where the ball was going before anybody else on the field, including the offense. He always had the shortest angle to ball carriers, and when he got there, their forward progress was over.

 

[Psycho_X]

London by far for me. I had gotten a Fletcher jersey that christmas before he left too so was extra pissed. Our defense was mostly junk after he left.

I recall LovieSmith felt that Jamie Duncan being smaller and more agile made him a much better fit for his Tampa 2 defense. He wanted Duncan over Fletcher.

What a waste that draft turned out to be. Pickett, Lewis and Archuleta. Adam was decent but his hard hitting style was a detriment for injury. Neither he nor Pickett were retained. Lewis foot injury once again reinforces my hatred for picking injured players.

I know this is about FA but I will never get over trading away Eric Dickerson. Geogia and her flying monkey Shaw screwed him big time. They didn't have to lowball him like they did. He wouldn't have been such a Deva if they had just showed him the respect for what he did. Just because you have all the power doesn't mean you should use it. What a greedy woman.

SAFFOLD. The game is won in the trenches.

Also shows why trading high draft picks for players you know perform at a high NFL level could be a better use of the picks.

Kurt Warner

Martz over reacted to everything. Your either for me or against me. He ran Kevin Carter. He could have been way more understanding with Warner and maybe helped him over come the Finger. Also could have taken him out of games earlier so he didn't get so beat up. He was never HC material.
