GRob traded to Lions

[Prime Time]

Fisher wanted athletic freaks. He thinks anyone can be coached. So Snead delivered.

And there it is. This in a nutshell explains the debacle that was the Fisher regime.

 

[majrleaged]

What are the odds of a team drafting Jason Smith and Greg Robinson within like 6 years of one another, both with the 2nd pick in the draft? Ouch.

Who was the line coach back then?

 

[Rambitious1]

Was mentioned in another post that the Lions lost their Left Tackle Taylor Decker for several months so this gives them a LT with plenty of experience for a 6th, whereas, Rams get a draft choice and save close to 3.5 million good for all parties involved.

.....A LT with plenty of experience........getting QB's MURDERED!

 

[Elmgrovegnome]

Dont forget Jake Matthews who has been a stud in ATL

I don't think Jake has lived up to his draft status either, but he is better than GRob and it ain't close.

Matthews should have been a second rounder, GRob an UDFA.

 

[Rambitious1]

I'm surprised we got a 6 to be fair

I'm not sad to see him go

Maybe a change of scenery will do him good

 

[dieterbrock]

If I'm not mistaken only two of the starters mentioned by Soul Surfer were not on the team Last year! So 3 of the 5 where brought in by Fisher/Snead.

Saffold was drafted by Spagnolo/Devaney, no?

I can see the future now:

"Former rams LT Greg Robinson invited to 2018 pro bowl"....By new Pro Bowl RT, Rob Hevenstein. He was also givin a discounted flight with bargain airline, Spirit Airlines, which includes one free carry on baggage voucher. His end zone upper level tickets can be upgraded to upper sideline for a nominal fee on a first come, first served basis.

FIXED

 

[majrleaged]

I find it shocking we couldn't make a guard out of him.

You can't fix stupid. For the amount of money he would get, it wasn't worth it. What guard would he beat out. Now we would be paying starter money to a back up.

 

[A55VA6]

Great trade. Robinson is a bust. He just doesn't "get it" and he was going to be out anyway. At least we got something out of it.

 

[majrleaged]

So some dirty jocks woulda held the deal up?

I feel ya den...get something...

My take is...rehabilitate this guys image....THEN trade him when teams in need get a lil desperate...like pre-season game 3....

6th round pick is nothing.....3.3 million ...in this age is almost nothing. We basically blew a #2 pick...in a deep draft....

and personally, if Goff doesn't shine...and I mean 4000 yards 25 td's....Snead is toast.

Grob 4 years. Quick 5 years. Goff at the hardest position in sports 2. Your about to get me all stirred up again.

Jeff Fisher draft philosophy: Be all brawn and no brains.

 

[OldSchool]

Nope he was traded, we already received compensation.

Hahaha

Sounds like he's not worth a 6th rounder.

Learning rap more than protection doesn't sound good.

This is stuff we don't always know about. I was thinking he was working at his craft because he seemed to come off that way. Going to the Bentley training and a few reports he was trying. Maybe he wasn't really trying.


Save the needed cap space. Get a 6th round pick. McVay and Company haven't messed around making decisions on letting players go via free agency, obtaining free agents and getting the draft picks they wanted. They just may have not seen some combination of effort, desire or ability both mental and physical to keep GRob.

 

[OC_Ram]

LMAO, one mans trash is another mans..... oh those poor bastards won't know what hit them much like the DE that'll give Stafford whiplash when Grob watches him sprint right by.

This is the best comment though.
"Belichickian move, sixth round pick for an established player"

NO WAY, THERE'S A BETTER COMMENT THAN THAT!

Re: Wow...Quinn trades for RAMS OL Robinson.

Superbowl is back on!!!!

 

[Ramrasta]

We could have got more than a 6th rounder if we were patient. Offensive line is one of the toughest positions to fill once the season gets rolling. A 6'5" 333lb OL with experience at LT and physicality that got him drafted second overall is worth a 4th at least. Even as a situational short yardage lineman that provides depth, he is worth $3.3M.

This questionable negotiating is why Tavon has a $42M extension while Donald and Trumaine are still on the wait list.

How you living Biggie Smalls?

Poor Stafford. Alas, we barely knew ye.
