Demby Claimed by the Lions

[Loyal]

Worst move the off season, imo. So now we have 3 QB's, and only one of them is worth a d@mn, and Demby goes to Detroit to develop into a starter.

IMO him or Johnson was going to get nabbed either way, guess they valued a S more.

 

[XXXIVwin]

Crap.

Now I hope he sucks...

Isaiah Johnson? I doubt it, he's been released multiple times and has been PS material since he went undrafted in 2015. Demby, otoh, was just drafted this year and showed starter potential in limited playing time so far.

I still don't understand.

 

[OldSchool]

Pretty sure a few of us emphasized he wouldn't make it to the PS in the OLine thread. Now we've lost a young lineman hope Johnson was worth it at safety.

 

[Ramstien]

Probably kept Johnson over him for his special teams value. I to hated to see them lose Demby but I heard he was a little slow footed, could be just thinking too much.

 

[FaulkSF]

Complaining? Anyone wish we have one of the 49er starters as in Mike Person?

It's not the first time a 6th rounder has been cut by a team.

Guys don’t overreact he didn’t show me anything special the times I watched him. Apparently the coaching staff felt the same way.

 

[Akrasian]

He might develop. If the Rams felt he were a sure thing, or even that it was likely he'd develop into a good multiposition backup, I doubt they would have risked him. As it is, they felt he was a 6th round pick they might want on the practice squad, but who they did not want to use a roster spot for at this time.

I didn't like the move then. I don't like the move now. We made a mistake. I agree with @LoyalRam on the QBs. Should have cut Allen.

Well apparently the coaching staff disagrees with that assessment.

Or they screwed up.

 

[Ram65]

Just a strange move by the Rams. Demby wasn't doing much in preseason. Still would thought they would have liked to keep him. He may get cut by the Lions.

 

[pmil66]

Good teams have a tougher time moving players off the roster onto the practice squad, such as the Rams were trying to do with Demby. Suspect one of our 3rd rounders next year will be used on OL.

Or they screwed up.

Or they didn't

Plot Twist: Snead really doesn't know what he doing and The Fisher King is a personnel God!

 

[EasyE]

Win some lose some....

Still can't believe the luck we had getting Faulk.

And Mr. Warner putting it all together...

And Mr. Mcvay coming onboard

I think I am ok with this....

 

[Memento]

Horrible move. Demby had potential, which is more than you can say for Brandon Allen or Isaiah Johnson.

 

[den-the-coach]

Well, here's hoping Isiah Johnson is the Cory Littleton of special teams and Brandon Allen is a bonafide backup to Goff for many years to come.
