None of them as smart as "catdog" or "The Tick".

Both. He was below average in Buffalo and I think he'll be a little better in LA but let's not act like he's Dez or Antonio Brown or Beckham. He isn't even on par with Doug Baldwin.

Hot takes. Hot takes galore.

12 seasons and he is probably still healthy. Looks like he made somewhere in the neighborhood of 17 mil. If he doesn't have enough to retire on I suppose he's still young enough to get a job.

That long a career as a backup QB, he's probably learned enough offense to get a shot as a coach at either college or in the pros.

Rams need Joyner healthy. Should bring a spark to the defense. LJ and JJ for the win.

I come away from this really liking him. I only wish RQ had his energy and enthusiasm. If you notice the footage with Quinn, look closely and Barwin is shaking RQ just to keep him awake.

Quinn did some dancin' around after he got his sack!!

LJ was limited.

Dude...I am right here. Yeah maybe haven't posted in a few days, but give me a break.

VegasRam said:

I don't think he looks nervous in the pocket at all - quite the opposite in fact.
He DOES throw a lot of wobblers though - don't like it either - but most of 'em are on rollouts.

Don't worry about him It'll freeze in the south forty before he offers anything but a backhanded compliment to Goff.

I'd have to go with curtains matchin the drapes.

I'm not an interior decorator, and I did not stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night, but aren't curtains and drapes essentially the same thing? Did you mean curtains/drapes matching the carpet/rug? Although that might be moot. Bare/hard surface flooring seems to be the preferred style these days. Probably because they're easier to keep clean. Spills wipe right up!!

I think I would have Ebukam in for Quinn on pass rushing downs. Situations where the rookie can pin back his ears and use that freak speed and strength? Yes please.

Just curious. Why is this in "off topic"?

do our boys have to wear the mismatches again Sunday?

I hope so.
So far, those have been are lucky uniforms.

Winning trumps your eyes burning and your impeccable vision that instantly detects a fashion faux pas.

You want the ball? Run the correct route, Get open.

Hmmmm.....

Arrow down players- lil tough on Ogletree....Everett is a rookie tight end...very tough position to make an impact. It's the 2nd and 3rd year players that should be counted on to play consistently.

Arrow up guys....well, we are entering the tough part of the schedule, so lets hold up until we see what these guys do against playoff aspiring teams...Offense is going great, but lets see what they do in the next few weeks. Defensive guys seem to be improving weekly.

.

I don't like the option play. It looks too gimmicky. And only qbs that aren't real qbs use it. The great qbs never use it.

.

Nice read - glad he's still in football. Just goes to show though how delicate the balance between injured and elite is...

True. But winning has always mattered.

I've often thought about the LA Raider/ Anaheim Ram situation. I think there was more at play. The Raiders bad ass reputation back then was off the charts. It was ironic because the Rams Defense was just as good if not better thru the seventies and eighties. But, LA is a media town and fan education wasn't what it is now. Throw in Georgia being the owner, after Carroll R. mysteriously drowned, and a poor owner at that. The Ram mystic of the fearsome foursome days waned quite a bit.

Moving was a detriment though. It always is because of the gaps it creates in the fan base. Sure, the NFL is back in LA but with USC football feeling more like a bought and paid NFL team to fill the void for many years, and the Chargers, Raiders, and 49ers so close, did it ever feel like it was really gone? Football is alive in PA but I have to drive three hours to an Eagles game and four to a Steelers game, not that I am a fan. Throw in that with TV and internet coverage it is easier than ever to be a fan of a team on the other side of the country. So, for anyone but true Ram fans I doubt they really noticed that the NFL was missing.

Then you have the whole laid back LA thing, and the basketball town thing, which is largely due to continued existence and success of LA teams there, plus you have the heat. Even on a dry day sitting in an open are stadium at Ninety degrees is not that enjoyable. Especially when you could be in trunks on a surfboard on a beach with a cool ocean and scantily clad babes around you instead.

I'm really hoping that Stan's palace changes the experience enough to make fans want to be there, and that McVay and Snead can put a consistent playoff winner on the field. Seeing a half filled stadium in big games like Seattle is depressing.

There's only one stat that counts.

I disagree , this team has a great offensive line and that seems to be the number 1 reason to teams winning this season. If defense continues to improve , looks night and day compared to the first 2 weeks, we will be ok. Seahawks always play us tough but what happened against Dallas was a true statement.
