OBJ signs with Rams

[dang]

Is LA getting ready to secede from the Union or building the ultimate HOFer retirement home?

Lebron/ADavis/Westbrook/Carmelo/Howard/Rondo

Stafford/Donald/Whit/Kupp/ Ramsey/VMiller/OBJ

So I'm minding my own business, going through email and come across the Rams update in my box...and it's like...what in the literal hell?!

Who is gonna get pushed out of the rotation to make room? Not Kupp, not Woods. And Jefferson is an up-and-comer in yr 2 and shown flashes.

So where are the extra footballs coming from...?

Kupp and Woods played every single offensive snap against the Titans ... 78 each.

Jefferson was in for 96% of the snaps ... 75.

In a three-WR set, that totals 231 snaps for the WRs.

How about 65 each for Kupp and Woods, with Jefferson and Beckham each at 50.

I'm going to embrace this start to finish. It's part of being honed in horns.

The conclusion will be can McVay just stick with his game plan and not get out of whack with play calling just be you McVay. Snead has done his part.

Well now I'm a OBJ fan....never thought I'd say that! Upward and onward.

 

[Classic Rams]

I like it, I wanted it. Nice move for WR vet depth. Teams will respect his deep threat ability and will open up the other areas. Said that about DJax but he wanted out and OBJ feels the love. Just needs to make a few big catches and defenses won't know who to double. We'll be cheering for his playmaking real soon.

 

[RhodyRams]

so Van Jefferson to return punts nows?

 

[MrRiceGuyRJ]

Not the first time Stafford has thrown bombs to OBJ

this is also about keeping him away from other teams we have to compete against

That is my biggest worry. You got a good blue print now make it tangible.

 

[SeminoleRam]

UNBELIEVABLE!!! Never thought the Rams would be able to sign him!!!

And, I have to admit that I do have concerns about how he will act and fit with the Rams BUT my goodness the thought of a Receiving Group of Kupp, Woods, Jefferson, Higbee AND BECKHAM is PRETTY (VERY!!!) EXCITING!!! And, The veteran leadership by Stafford should also help the situation!

CAN’T WAIT TO SEE BOTH BECKHAM AND VON MILLER IN THE RAMS UNIFORM!!!

Good read. Definitely sounds like the players closed the deal.

 

[jrry32]

And we failed. Now we are trying even harder? Seems desperate now… Just hope we can win games, because we are now the laughing stock of the entire NFL if we cannot pull this off. It would be embarassing

We still made the Super Bowl. And I couldn't care less about being the "laughing stock of the entire NFL." We spent enough years as the "laughing stock" of the NFL, and it wasn't because we had a great team that didn't win it all. Go for the Super Bowl while the window is open. 31 teams are going to fall short this year. If we're one of the 31 that fall short, at least we went for it.

 

[Mackeyser]

Keeping him away from Green Bay and potential for a comp makes this a reasonable move.

If we get the old OBJ who knows.

Woods has been in a bad funk with Stafford all year. Maybe OBJ and Stafford are a better match, who knows.

As much as I would hate to lose Woods, Stafford has to come first and if he and Woods don’t mesh, then that sucks but ya deal and move on. I don’t think that’s the case, but we’ll see.

 

[FarNorth]

I feel yah on that. I am feeling the same way about the direction this organization is trying to take. I don’t like it one bit. Not same feeling, the whole we not me motto is starting to sound more like bullshit everyday.

It's starting to feel like we're Hired Guns Central. The opposite of an underdog.

Yeah, it's better to win and to have a GM and coach who can get things done, but it still doesn't quite feel the same.

This is why the he's a diva/cancer arguments are just lazy.

Sounds right to me. Need a real rotation. We can't have OBJ playing as few snaps as DJax. It won't work imo.
