Post your funny preseason predictions and Ram slights here.

[Zero]

Hanging on a Sunday with,as @Angry Ram put it.
"That amazing feeling when you're watching football
And you realize your team already won."
I decided to do some searches and find some of the more hilarious predictions and
"Jared Goof" slights from the preseason.I seem to get some sort of perverted satisfaction out of reading
these assclowns saying our QB is a bigger bust than Jamarcus Russell.
I'm curious to see any funny Goff,Ram preseason predictions or Goff is a bust type media
that you guys may have come across.
So if you got'em post'em.We can enjoy laughing at these bobbleheads together.Thanks

2017 Los Angeles Rams Offense:
The Rams traded the farm for Jared Goff, so it was shocking that he didn't even suit up in the season opener, as Jeff Fisher believed Sean Mannion should've been higher on the depth chart. Goff eventually got his chance, but was unbelievably atrocious. He completed just 54.6 percent of his passes on a 5.3 YPA, throwing seven interceptions compared to five touchdowns in the process. Goff looked perplexed in the pocket, appearing completely unprepared to play in the NFL. Making matters worse, Goff was seen partying at the Super Bowl even though he didn't win (or cover) a single game as a rookie. At this rate, Goff could end up being the greatest draft bust in NFL history, as he would beat JaMarcus Russell because of all the Rams had to surrender to obtain him.

If Los Angeles wants to feel optimistic, it's that it has quarterbacks coach Greg Olson to tutor Goff. Olson has done incredible work over the years, getting Josh Freeman to the Pro Bowl and developing Derek Carr. However, great coaching can only go so far, and there have been some signal-callers, like Blaine Gabbert, who were so utterly awful that they couldn't even improve under Olson's guidance. It's appearing as though Goff is closer to Gabbert than the other two quarterbacks, as he doesn't seem to have that all-important "it" factor.

Something else Goff doesn't have is a quality offensive line. The Rams couldn't block whatsoever last year, though the situation is better now because of two additions. Andrew Whitworth is an upgrade over Greg Robinson at left tackle, if only by default. Robinson was atrocious, so anything Whitworth can give the Rams will be a bonus. However, Whitworth turns 36 during the season, and it's awfully suspicious that he took the money to leave a better team to a horribly run franchise that hasn't been to the playoffs in more than a decade. It's almost as if he went to California to retire early. That's not to say that Whitworth will definitely slack off, but it's fair to question his passion at this stage of his career.

The other addition the Rams made was signing John Sullivan. The former Viking and Redskin played well in the past, but was only mediocre in spot duty last year. Still, he'll be an upgrade over Tim Barnes at center. Sullivan will be flanked by guards Rodger Saffold and Rob Havenstein. Saffold has been the Rams' top blocker when healthy, but he's had trouble staying on the field throughout his career. Havenstein, meanwhile, is transitioning inside from right tackle. Greg Robinson was slated to play that position instead, but he was traded to the Lions after he was beaten out by pedestrian talent Jamon Brown.

The Rams' blocking will be better by default in 2017, but it still won't be very good. That's obviously bad news for Todd Gurley, who struggled last year. He saw his yards-per-carry average drop from 4.8 as a rookie to 3.2 this past season. Gurley could average something close to the median of those two figures.

Goff will need Gurley to rebound because he has no offensive weapons at his disposal. In fact, it could be argued that his receiving corps will be worse in 2017. Kenny Britt had slacked off for years, but he tried hard last year, and he's now gone. Replacing him is the horribly overpaid Robert Woods, a pedestrian No. 2 receiver who will be asked to function like a top wideout. Tavon Austin and rookie Cooper Kupp round out the worst receiving corps in the entire NFL. Second-round rookie tight end Gerald Everett is likely too raw to help out this season, though the Rams should feel optimistic about his future.

2017 Los Angeles Rams Analysis: The Rams are in complete transition. Not only are they in their second year in a new city, but most of their defensive players are moving around to new positions; the offensive line has been shuffled around; and Jared Goff is learning a completely new offense. It's highly unlikely the Rams will be competitive in 2017, and it could be possible that they'll obtain the No. 1 overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft. The question then will be, do they take Sam Darnold?

Projection: 3-13 (4th in NFC West)

2016 Projection: 3-13. 2016 Actual Result: 4-12.

Declaring someone the greatest bust in NFL history after one year is something that normal sports writers would be held accountable for, but nobody cares what a blogger says.

Hardcore NFL fans recognize this clown for the idiot he is and casual fans just wouldn't know any better.

I still remember when he said Jimmy Clausen was one of the best prospects in years and deserved to go no.1 overall.

I enjoy reading stuff like this for the comedic value.
Maybe it's just me ,but I find it hilarious.

Literally one of the worst football websites out there.

Don't have the thread but in the reddit nfl sub they predicted each weeks games. The team with the most picks each week was recorded the win. Last time I looked they had the Rams going 1-12 I stopped following their picks then.

Funny how the idiotic predictions were much easier to find just a few days ago.

Here are some wise words to chew on though:

Seth Walder - ESPN "Analytics"

Expectations for Jared Goff and the Rams' offense really can't get any lower.

One year after the former Cal quarterback was selected with the first overall pick by the Rams, Los Angeles' offense is widely anticipated to be one of the worst -- if not the worst -- in the NFL. ESPN's FPI thinks even that is generous.
Under the hood in FPI are two offensive strength predictions for each team: one assuming the starting quarterback is playing and the other assuming the backup is playing. Both measurements incorporate expected points added per play and are derived from a combination of the team's offensive performance the year before, a version of the quarterback's Total QBR history and a team's Vegas win total.

With 32 teams and two quarterbacks apiece, that means 64 theoretical offenses are ranked. The Rams with Jared Goff under center? They're behind the Colts with Scott Tolzien, the Jaguars with Chad Henne and the Jets with Bryce Petty. That's right: The Rams with Goff are predicted to have the 64th-best offense among the group -- dead last. That's the kind of forecast that probably leaves Rams fans yearning for the days of guaranteed mediocrity under Jeff Fisher.

But being 64th means something else, too. It shows that FPI thinks the Rams, at this moment, would have a better chance of winning with backup Sean Mannion -- he of 13 career pass attempts -- instead of Goff. While FPI doesn't project the Rams' offense with recently signed veteran Dan Orlovsky because he is the third-string quarterback, it's safe to assume that FPI would also predict Los Angeles to have a better chance with the 33-year-old manning the offense, based on the Lions' predicted EPA/P with him as their backup last year and how little the metric thinks of Goff.

Good thing we have ESPN's Analytics to scientifically reinforce their roles as douchebags.

1. Jared Goff, Los Angeles Rams: 57.8 completion percentage, 2,930 yards, 18 TDs, 13 INTs

Hmmmmmmmmm....

Successful quarterbacks have had worse rookie seasons (see: Eli Manning, John Elway, Troy Aikman), but if Goff doesn't get his act together as soon as possible, he'll be featuring in a lot of conversations that involve the word "bust."

Wait, Whuuuuuuuut? John Elway? Troy Aikman? Worse rookie seasons? Can't be. They didn't suck at all. Must be a typo.

I have run a series of test on the FPI factor through my super duper Bat Cave computer
after hours of gut wrenching analysis

we have come to the conclusion that FPI is the most worthless stat ever
created by man.
