Ernest Jones Traded to Titans (Titans Now Trading Him to Seattle)

[OldSchool]

When it doesn’t fit your narrative he isn’t telling the truth.
Got it

That's exactly what people are doing here. I get laughed at for trusting what he says usually.

 

[OldSchool]

jake ellobogen said that jones came in out of shape and didn’t look like his self and he was terrible in joint practices that and a reason he couldn’t speak on is why jones got traded

He’s so full of shit.
nothing but a wannabe insider who’s just a jock sniffer

I think Jake is a complete clown, but Jake is just echoing what Whitworth said about it here that's not his own reporting. He heard Whitworth say that in an interview.

McVay with a little remorse? Snead not revealing why? We've seen that Jones can still play. So it must've been a bad attitude. Probably similar to Akers... which would be ironic because I always confused the 2 players since their faces and fros are somewhat similar.
Akers isn't the same back since his injury but still running hard being back with the Vikes. He's been moved around too. So maybe it's not just the Rams fault for trading them, other teams didn't see a fit for either at one point. Then Acres is back with the Vikes like how Hendo had rejoined the Rams the previous season.

I'm glad we have Kyren and Corum instead of Akers though. Still waiting for a better MLB. But it's interesting, and also frustrating, that the Titans got more than the Rams did for the Jones trade to Seattle. We know about the Rams' 6th rounder for a 6th rounder to give up Jones. But the Titans got a 4th rounder plus a player (LB Baker) from the Sqwaks in the Jones trade. Thought Sneed was one of the best so I don't get it. Titans gained a 4th round pick in that deal.

Yep, it seems McVay let his emotions get in the way of common sense. They don’t have close to a comparable mlb on the team. So what’s best for the Rams was to keep Jones.

This may be unfair to McVay. If there were indeed multiple reasons for trading him, the entire front office likely weighed in. So Snead, Pastoors, Demoff, etc. I doubt they were emotional.

McVay runs the team and anything that could affect team chemistry.

It’s s as leery bern states that it’s not a contract issue. What else is left if that’s not it.

And, we’ve seen McVay get angry at a player in the past only to say later that he could have handled it better.

There's just no way you can know that. EJ may have created an untenable situation.

And honestly... I'm not sure he would have made any kind of greater impact if he was playing for us last Sunday. Maybe he'll be a great player for someone. I actually liked him. But if he was a problem, the team is far more important.

It does seem like McVays decision in the moment may have been alittle rash. I think the Jones thing could have been handled better regardless.

Rash based on what? What was there to handle that we don't already know and how could it have been better?

Ernest was an important piece to this defense. He would have made it much better. I think McVay let his emotions get the best of him. Whatever the issue was, a stern lecture likely fixes it. It’s looking like a costly error.

He's a Hawk and a Gamecock...time to move on. We just handed him that L.

The professional manner in which the Rams keep this stuff in house inevitably leads to lots of fan speculation in discussions.

It’s better IMO than other teams’ players and front offices that “communicate” through dramatic press conferences, cryptic tweets and other passive aggressive methods.

I think this is another reason the Rams don’t get much attention via the media. The Rams are a quiet team which makes them undesirable to cover in today’s click bait environment.

Great Point.

I agree that the Rams are quiet (keep things in-house) on controversial matters that the Media likes to eat-up.

 

[Ramstien]

I tend to believe that Jones may not have been on board with Shua becoming DC. Fans need to realize that the team is bigger than any one player. The Rams seem to be doing fine without Donald, and they will be fine without Jones. One thing I learned early in life is that; "when you think the company can't run without you that is when you are about to get fired".

Nah inspite of all contrary evidence McVay is a bad leader. Bad leaders let emotions dictate actions and that's what he's being accused of doing here.

When you ignore Andrew Whitworths comments and just want to blame somebody I guess you come to this illogical conclusion.

 

[SteezyEndo]

Rash based on what? What was there to handle that we don't already know and how could it have been better?

Based on the fact that we have may of won our earlier games if we still had Jones. Should of worked something out until we found a solid replacement then traded him before the deadline not before beginning of season where at the time we were more vulernable in that position, and to top it off we only got a 6th. Seems pretty rash to me. Like I said could of been handled better IMO.

 

[Tumak61]

Would the Rams D be on an upward trajectory with Jones still on the team? I don't think so. McVay didn't like his attitude and got rid of him. McVay knows what type of players he wants on his team and Jones wasn't it . Jones was supposed to take on a leader role with Donald gone and that didn't happen in the eyes of McVay. Sorry but I don't think our Defense misses Jones one bit.

We wouldn’t have known that because he was traded before the season.

If McVay had a problem with his attitude he still could of used him until they found a viable replacement then got rid of his ass. Its a business, the decision making process should of been thought out well. Now we are lucky we are doing better as we get later into the season, but still we may have not been so lucky to pull through.

 

[sloramfan]

the logic of the FACT we may have won?... problem with attitude?... pretty rash decision?

speculation and opinion...

here's mine..

Based on we MAY have won? Sorry that's just you projecting your guesses on to a situation you have no info on. In fact you and others are ignoring Andrew Whitworth to come up with these guesses.
