Rams trade for Sony Michel

[Kupped]

There is SO MUCH material out there. So many on-line sources, and someone has to do the writing and commentary.

These are not well paying gigs. Sometimes the quantity of material generated is tied to the compensation.

And all that is fine but Who is doing the writing and commentary?

If it's someone who has two or three decades in football ... played a little in college ... coached a little ... maybe did some scouting. Doesn't have to be at the pro level. But such experience would probably require getting paid more. Heck, just someone who has followed the game for a long time would likely have a better take than someone who has a fraction of the years following the game.

It makes sense to see an article on Yahoo Sports and figure the author may know more football than the reader. But it may well not be true, especially when you look at the author's bio.

If the reader has a couple decades following the NFL and his team; and the article is written by a younger person, with no practical football experience (just a fan and aspiring writer) ... then there's a good chance the reader has much more knowledge about the game in general, and his team in particular.

With so much free content, the reader is the product, not the material.

Skyler Carlin is worried about the draft picks

It's such a terrible take.
Kid just goes for.. "and muh draft picks" without going into any of the reasons why the Rams may have specifically targeted Michel. Just shit content.

After 11 pages of nothing but praise I want to be the first to say this trade sucks big time.

Next years draft is LOADED with late round talent.

Don't you want to win this year?

I am a supporter of the little people. Have in fact been known to drop in at the Hobbit House Bar when I get shitty in Manila...

Good photo!

Those little guys have such a better angle view than I would have to be over 6-4. I was never a breast man like let's say like Stu ( @RamFan503 ) where my extra height always gave a superior point of view for such observations & sights but far more attracted to the lower end where the little guy was looking. I have spent a lifetime of being seriously obstructed.

Didn't know I was cursed & never really thought much about this.

Being tall would be worth it I think. That's one of the reasons I like Asia so much... Even though I'm only 5' 10" I feel tall there.

I have a condition that use to make me pass out. On special occasions it still does.

Exactly.

If you've seen my wife, you'd know that's not true.

I haven't seen her but 95% of Rams fell in love with the team because of their uniforms.

I'm sure her uniform is dazzling @RamFan503

[“Turbo set!”]

He is good but he will probably miss 8 games. Either Michel or Henderson will be out for the season at some point and unavailable for the playoffs. Would be shocked if both are.

Not sure if this has been linked yet. All his runs from last year:

Powerful runner. "Ooomph" for sure. North south. Downhill. Looks like he'd wear down the D after a while.

Doesn't look like he'd have the top-end speed to be a home run hitter. Consistently solid runs though, and almost never seems to get stuffed for zero or negative yards. Fights and claws his way for extra gains after contact.

Love this signing. Stafford doesn't have to do it all on his own.

That’s the Spirit!

Before posting this, did you get Merlin’s OK to use “Oomph”?

Are you really a Rams fan? Jared??Eeyore???

 

[Allen2McVay]

I can understand Turbo’s concern up to a point; and I have some concerns of my own about durability of the Rams’ RBs. That’s one reason I am glad they have Henderson AND Michel, with the two young guys in reserve.

It’s also good to know that Michel has missed a total of 10 games in three seasons. That’s an average of three games per year. Henderson has missed 4 games in his two seasons. That’s an average of two games per year.

Not great but also not horrible. More Gribble.

I don't know what that means but it sounds like a good thing therefore I'm PUMPED!
