Stacy to ask for release/trade

[Ramrasta]

Can't believe people would be upset with Stacy for wanting to play. His window of opportunity is short, why waste it being the 4th RB on the depth chart. I wish him success, he is very expendable for us now.

Agreed. He proved he had the skills to play in this league as a rookie but for some reason we have completely shut down his carries. Why should he stay with a team who seemingly has gone out of their way to not use him? Can't be mad at Stacy for wanting a fresh start now that he will be undoubtedly warming benches in St. Louis.

 

[JackDRams]

It's obvious he's just going to sit in the bench next season, why stay?

Because it's his job? How many players ride the bench? Most of them. What makes Zac so special that he can demand anything? I understand if he's clearly a starter and he wants to start. But he's not a clear starter anywhere.

5th round running back? Just weird for a guy who disappeared to be the one demanding a trade. Fight for a job or let the team handle it.

Mason won't be demanding a trade. We're going to be having a two back system here. Gurley is a monster when fresh and Snisher would be wise to have a very good back to keep him fresh.

Likewise for Mason.

Don't be surprised to see Mason and Cunningham demand trades as well.

I doubt that. Both of those guys will get PT. Stacy wouldn't have.

Well Mason is now second on the depth chart. At best Stacy is the third RB on the depth chart. Despite being a 5th round pick and not playing his first four games as a rookie, he almost had 1,000 yards. I would trade him for a conditional pick next year. This draft sucks, no need to add picks for this draft.

 

[Memphis Ram]

Exactly how did Caplan get this information? Immediately after the pick?

I get that Stacy could feel that way, but again... Stacy informs Caplan?

Caplan gets a lot of his info from agents.

Great, now we get to see our RB's leaving after this horrible first round pick. This is just one of the many consequences of drafting a position the Rams did not need. A year ago you guys we in love with Stacy now its screw you Stacy. Nice, what do you expect? For him to sit on the bench? It's his lively hood people for what maybe 4-5 years if lucky?

This is an offensive draft
We have more picks to come

Need is a poor evaluator of talent. This draft sucks. Getting maybe the most talented player in the whole draft is huge. Guy can be a Faulk level of player for us.

 

[RamFan503]

Sorry folks but Caplan is a dickhead. I highly doubt he has some inside information a couple hours after the draft. He's connecting the dots and making a "can't prove me wrong" tweet. What a chicken shit.

Sigh

Agree, but some were going to pitch a fit regardless of who we selected if the pick wasn't an OL.

Stacy wants out? Maybe we could send him back to Nashville in exchange for Mettenberger.

 

[Loyal]

Fumbling the ball. Simple as that. Whether his fault or not.

Our model is ball security, position, and defense.

I heard a stat for Gurley that out of 500 carries, only 3 Fumbles..WOW!

 

[Memphis Ram]

Yep. The OLine or bust crowd simply took over for last year's WR or bust crowd.

Tell that to Forsett.

 

[LosAngelesRams]

I'd hate to lose him, Zac did work for us his rookie season. Still never understood how he just fell off the planet after that.

 

[Zombie Slayer]

Good bye then. Don't want quitters on the team anyway when things get tough.

Would be awesome for us.

 

[Speedr@m]

Yeah I can't blame him if true. The Rams are just confusing IMO

Adam Schefter ‏@AdamSchefter

Rams RB Zac Stacy, who tweeted “Yikes” after STL drafted Todd Gurley, has requested a trade and team is open to moving him, per NFL source.

 

[A55VA6]

Bye, have a great time. hahaaa

He wasn't very good. Just an average back with questionable vision, IMO.
