Some of you guys just need to relax a little bit. Especially until we know what the deal includes.

Let's just hang tight and support the team we love. If not, then find another squad. Some of us are in it for the long haul and life no matter what happens.

You can be a Rams fan and still express frustration with their decisions. I think we've all earned that right.

Maybe we assumed that QB would be willing to help the team out by taking a paycut?
That's another good point. I was pretty disappointed to hear his unwillingness to take a pay cut. While I understand you always try to get the most of what you can. I like to see some humbleness out of people who understand what they're really worth.

But he's not. The best we can hope is that he's somewhere between 2013 and 2014. Because that 2013 season was an aberration. That all said, it's not Foles that's the issue. I'm not huge on him. It's the reported deal. Just seems TERRIBLE all around for the Rams.

How in the world do you know that Foles 2013 season was an aberration?

It's bound to happen when the franchise trades the most polarizing figure it has had in the past 5 years.

Let's not get carried away with the "Bradford picks the OC" part of all this. It was basically, Sam would you like in-house option A or in-house option B? Not that big of a deal.

If we don't have to swap places in the 1st for them, I'm OK with this. Swap seconds or something and send them a conditional 2nd. I'd be fine with that.
Yes. Rams cannot give up a top 10 pick for Nick fucking Foles and a salary dump.

He is a more naturally suited for a west coast offense, drop back type of quarterback.

Hope so, his stats are eerily similar to Bradford's when he played in Andy Reid's WCO as a rookie.

No first round swap:

I'm told by Rams that Bradford-Foles trade does NOT involve swap of first-round picks. :cheers:

This is the most convoluted trade that I have ever seen: We're getting picks, then we're not getting picks, and now we are not even swapping firsts; are both the Eagles and the Rams intentionally screwing with us?

Once it's all said and done it will be Chris Givens to the Eagles for a conditional 6th rounder.

Hey, the good news is that the Rams waited till 4:00pm before making any trades so wont be fined like 10 other teams will be.....

Nah. It's just a bunch of reporters trying to get the real scoop and all of them failing in the process.
