It's funny because Jackson is an anti-Semite.

By the way, if you read this, you can see why I hope we add a WR in the draft with potential as well

What's with this clown's snide remark about Van Jefferson amounting to little as a rookie. He was a ROOKIE that had to compete with three veterans for playing time. What did this moron expect?

While I am cautiously optimistic about the D. Jax signing I see no reason to dump on Van Jefferson in the process, and I hope V. Jeff breaks out this year and shoves the Bozo's comments where they belong.

All well and good but I have to wonder...

What was the point of drafting Van Jefferson if the plan was to lock in Woods and Kupp. Shouldn’t they have gone after a burner WR in round 3 last year and saved the hassle and money?

I am guessing Woods or Kupp will be gone in 3yrs. Plus you need depth and he will still be very important as he fits the system and as we have seen, these guys get hurt.

Wouldn't call it a great signing. Low cost, risky and yet TBD signing is what this is. He needs to stay healthy and the proof is in the pudding these last few years. Good weather doesn't help a body that's been breaking down for some years now. Hope he proves us wrong, but not confident about it either.

How is it risky if it's low cost? Its the literal definition of low risk. He's been asked to play a lot of snaps and start for Philly but we wont ask that of him. He'll have a limited role. Plus if you dont think it's easier to stay healthy playing in southern california vs the northeast then I dont know what to say. Players praise McVay and the Rams org for how we give vets days off and help preserve their body. I have no doubt DJax will be healthier for us and make an impact. It's a great signing. He's one of the best deep WR to ever play in the NFL and he hasn't lost his speed. Go look at the game in 2019 when he had 150yrs and 2 TDs. Or last year the 81 yard TD. He can still get it done.

Yeah not sure why, but Jefferson did fine for a rookie. I agree and hope he breaks out. He'll have his chances as D Jackson is not someone I would rely on to be there the whole season.

Posted this in the other thread had to gather myself.

I guess I needed a minute to breathe. Sometimes posting right away you post with your emotions. As long as he doesn't impede Van Jeffersons progress and he can stay healthy and we still draft an Eskridge it could have a good result. He can mentor an eskridge and a Jefferson and he does provide some swag to the receiver core that is rather workman right now. Also I've always stuck to if we should make it to the big game I do want experience there not depend on multiple rooks. So I'm coming around a bit.

Jackson with 8 TDs this year.

 

[Angry Ram]

I will say the thought of him torching the shitbirds has me tightening up.

Disagree with the dude all you want, but please refrain from calling people names.

Sorry, it's still a roster spot taken. If he gets injured, which is highly likely, his roster spot has to be filled. No way I'm saying it's a great signing at this point when his injury history speaks for itself. If he proves to be healthy throughout the year and contributes , then yes it becomes a great signing. That's why I said it's TBD. I'm not going to always drink the kool-aid on who the Rams sign just like I was pissed when they let Saffold go in FA years ago. Also weather has nothing to do with his body breaking down. You mean to tell me that other teams didn't take it easy on him due to his past injury history. D Jackson is the definition of injury prone at this point in his career. Call it as I see it.

 

[Memento]

I'll wait for the cost. If it's vet minimum, I'm happy with the deal. I don't, however, like Jackson as a person, so I hope we draft another receiver who can be a deep threat.

 

[Malibu]

I think you guys are kidding yourself if you think he can be a part time wr that's not going to help us. We need a wr who can be a poor man's Cook and stretch the field on a full time basis.

What really concerns me he hasn't been truly healthy in 7 years. That does not give me much confidence. The pros of him he has a relationship with McVay. He theoretically still is fast. Most of all he is a saavy vet who will win on smarts half the time.

Yea because Nsimba Webster deserves a roster spot over DJax right? FOH. This guy is a proven vet that McVay knows very well after their time together in Washington. He likely got a very small contract so it's a low risk high reward signing for us. We're going to draft a rookie speed WR as well anyways.

 

[XXXIVwin]

Rams must be thinking this is a low-risk, high-upside signing. Hope his contract has a lot of incentives.

If healthy, he can be a deep weapon.

 

[Malibu]

We didnt sign him to be a top #2 option. His job is to run deep a few plays a game. He can still do that at his age.

This is why I like it. Yet it may take a spot out of the draft that could be an up and comer speed guy.

 

[El Chapo Jr]

I'll only be down with it if it's a cheap contract.. and I mean anything less than $2mil.

All he has to do is run straight and fast.

Teams still have to "respect" his speed even though it's diminished surely.

McVay loves his exs, hopefully it doesn't bite us in the ass.

That's what worries me. When he's on the field, yes teams have to respect the deep route. Problem is, he's spent much more time on the trainer's table lately. I get why they made the move, but it doesn't come without risk.

[den-the-coach]

Still fast knows McVay’s system & took a cap friendly deal....Ladies & Gentlemen this is a good signing....Almost makes up for the Rams passing Jackson for Donnie freaking Avery years ago.
