Whatever the discussion with Hunt being available.That he is or would be a player The Rams would want or even better than Henderson.

I will say Hunt’s rookie season was excellent & I’ve liked him as a RB.
At this point though HENDO has a better future.

As a Rams fan he is underrated by imo posters who might not see him for who he is & means to The Rams.Last season as an example.He is not going to be your Workhorse.That was asking a lot & he did well.

I’m glad The Rams drafted Williams. It’s always nice to have a stable of RB’s.

In 2017 my draft would have been pretty darn good.

You have always been about O’line
& You would have drafted Forrest Lamp at 37.

I would have and was upset Les Snead didn’t think The Rams needed depth at RB. The Rams had signed that guy from Dallas who was hurt as well & never really played in The NFL again ?? A Mcvay guy & he wanted a 3rd db Darrel Henderson type from the start.

My draft would have not been to trade down with the Bills. I was a Draftnik back then & was watching everything. Where Les Snead is right now with the Scout is Evolutional .

This is for The Rams & I know the need for a TE,but was a deep draft.

#37 Devon Cook
#69 Cooper Kupp - amazing he was still there.
#117 George Kittle

That’s no lie either. Just 2 seasons ago it was Johnathan Taylor & trade up into the first rd.
—The price was to high,but once he got into the 2nd rd ? It was do able.

Cam Akers
Van Jefferson
T. Lewis
for Taylor?
I like where The Rams are & there players. It’s easy to judge. I thought the price to trade up for HENDO was a little steep ? Then again I like the pick & see the upside The Rams RB has as a unit.

Sorry a jest at the name that's being brought up again in Hunt. Everybody thinking we'll trade for him outside of this forum, and a few inside it. Since he asked for a trade and was denied one I've read a half dozen articles about us being the team to move for him. It makes no sense whatsoever to me but the stories are out there.
Finally saw what you were referring to....

There are countless more, could make a whole day of reading from fans and local hacks.
If there is so much of this type of guesstimating going on....it might lead one to think that the Ram's current RB unit has negative type problems & appears (at least to fans & local hacks) to be in need a major tweaking event.

It's probably a good time for me to clarify my position ....while I do have concerns about the health of this overall RB unit, I do not believe it is lacking in skills & talent when it's in good health.

It's my belief that the Rams could reach a balance of good health if they were to aim @ an increase of RB's on the MR53 & Practice Squad from the previous past season's quantities.

I would not want the Rams to trade any of its future 1st or 2nd-day draft selections for a RB. I would be fine if a late 3rd-day draft pick was used to obtain Josh Jacobs but it is not necessary.

Discussion is fun. Kicking around whether someone might help the team.

What is not fun is trying to read through your babbling nonsense and sad attempts at shit talking. Think it is time to stop doing that.

Henderson has developed into a nice 3rd down back. A good change of pace to Akers. He's also a threat catching passes out of the backfield. My only gripe is he gets dinged up a lot. Doesn't really miss many games but quite a few times it limits his snaps and/or effectiveness.

The personal attacks arent cool either man, dont derail a thread like that.
Hendo was a big contributor in the SB, and I'd take him over Hunt any day

That was not a personal attack. The babbling nonsense is every post of his.

Hendo was a big contributor in the pass game in the Super Bowl. Which is what I have been saying is his niche.

Yeah its worse than a personal attack. Put him on ignore if you're so intolerant of his grammar or sentence structure. Insulting him about it? No class

Personal attack is not when you criticize someone's post or posts. It is when you criticize them. If I called him names that would be a personal attack. Saying his posts are babbling nonsense is not a personal attack it is rather a true statement.

Sounds like your way of acknowledging that you are wrong about it being a personal attack. Because you are wrong.

Also if you want to carry yourself like some pious poster here knock yourself out. But truth is sometimes it's not better to continue to look the other way when you see posts that read like spewed garbage. You want to talk class and act like you're some paragon of good posting, but I know your posting tendencies well, we all have our moments in terms of being a prick in our posts. We've been coexisting here long enough for me to say that.

Either way I've finally put him on ignore. And I apologize to everyone other than the two of you for the shitty attitude. I've shit on this thread enough, but my opinion is my opinion and as always I stand by it.

One thing that sucks about being a moderator is having to play moderator.

Long standing members set the standard for what is acceptable around here. This is a responsibility many of us carry.

This is NOT how we do it here. @Merlin you out of weed? PM’s sent.

Let’s get this topic back on Henderson.
