Bingo. I was skeptical Ramsey would engage into the team concept but he has inspired others to elevate their play, never gives up and is active on promoting the Rams to other vets. If this occurs gor Miller and OBJ the impact to the Rams is deep and lasting. We are witnessing the building of a an elite NFL team that just might result in a dynasty.

I don't remember writing the bit about the ponzi scheme. I know I did but my opinion has changed. A reference to when I wrote it would be nice.
If unwavering support for anything the Rams do is supposed to be my pov, I guess the 2006 to 2016 era did some lasting damage.
I've learned over time that this regime values players over prospects and it's worked thus far. I'm fine with that. I've adapted and can see how moves like Ramsey and Stafford are sustainable. Adding in our 2nd and 3rd? We've not been doing that. We've been using those pics and espescially the 3rd round has provided some great young players for us. I'm stoked about adding Von, but that's another move that has to work before I celebrate it too much.
With OBJ? I'm glad to have the WR depth. But do I have to be excited about the fact that the Rams appear to be interested in signing every name on the market when so much of my appreciation for Les and Sean comes from their ability to build a good team and coach them up, like any other team. But to fans of 31 other teams, what were doing looks like a circus, bought and paid for and doomed to fail like the Dream Team Eagles. I'll love it if they don't fail. It will all be worth it.
As for OBJ. I'm just not able to get pumped over this one. Maybe I'm desensitized to so many of these kinds of moves

One thing you didn't mention about OBJ...We benefit from a Comp pick if he leaves us next year and he cost us no picks. He gets a little over a million dollars, which is chump change in todays NFL, and there are escalators to over 4 million dollars...But he only gets that by a deep run in the playoffs and is not based on receptions and TD's. AND Green Bay and Seahawks don't get him! There are a lot of good reasons why we signed him. All them other teams fans are gonna hate us, because they wanted Stafford, Von Miller and OBJ. We just have to embrace the bad guy role and kick some ass, which is a tall order....

I don't disagree, Loyal.
I'm certainly not against it in theory. It's not a risky move, like others have been. It's just the optics I guess.
It's like the uniforms. I don't hate them. It's just a rebrand and I'm adjusting slower to this one.
Its like when you have your favorite TV series, and the story lines just go off the rails. You thought you knew the characters, their story arcs, etc.
I don't know...

Ex-OBJ teammate, former Ram on Odell in L.A.: 'I don't know how that's going to work'
John Johnson III played with the Rams and with Beckham and isn't too sure how this arrangement will work out.

I have to say... the Rams really kept a lid on this one. Von Miller too. They run a tight ship at Rams Park.

Don't give 2 shits what he thinks......he's not a Ram anymore so fuck his opinion.

Strange thing.....(Maybe I'm just interjecting my own tone for JJ's).....it seemed like he was saying it more "matter of fact" than any slam either way and his thoughts line up with at least half of the Rams fans.

The title makes it sound like JJ is talking shit. He’s his normal positive self and doesn’t say anything negative. He wonders if Odell will get enough targets.Ex-OBJ teammate, former Ram on Odell in L.A.: 'I don't know how that's going to work'

I mean he really has no reason to be salty. He got what he was worth granted it wasn’t with the Rams but still. He has worked with OBJ and his opinion holds more water than ours at the moment.

Of course they're both $ impossible for next year...So we get both for just less than a 1/2 season rental...I just don't in general like rentals...Not sure why...Admittedly these 2 guys are not the prototypical rentals in that they cost pocket lint...I guess I should shut up and wait for the Lombardi presentation...

Yeah I know, but no his opinion doesn't mean crap. Loved him as a Ram, but could care less what he thinks as it matters what current Rams think.

Yeah I know he answered the question and I usually cuss like a sailor on the norm lol. Just being frank more than anything. I'd treat it similar to getting Goff's opinion. Hopefully that last part doesn't start a Goff thread lol
