That's a stretch. There were question marks about his pass protection. He had the measurements, but was in a run based offense in college and only two years as a starter. Rams got AD at #13. there was lot's of debate about taking Jake Matthews as a safer pick.

Listen, I hate Greg Robinson as much as the next guy. One of the biggest busts of all time. My only point in this thread, going back, is that Ty Simpson was the correct pick AS OF NOW, based on the age of our current quarterback and the potential of Simpson. Anything he has shown so far with the Rams has only been on the positive side of his Ledger.

And none of this is to say he can't turn out to be a bust.

Completely missing the point and making my point at the same time. On the day of the 2014 Draft Greg Robinson was the correct pick. In time turns out it wasnt. On the day of the 2026 Draft Ty Simpson was the correct pick. How it turns out will be determined.

Saying Robinson was the correct pick shows me you don't get it, but that's ok. I don't agree with your take at all so let's leave at agree to disagree.

It's funny that you think I think Greg Robinson turned out to be a good pick. Just another one in a series of you missing the point as multiple posters can attest to.
 
When people fall in love with specific players, threads like this go on... and on... and on... :laugh1:

Sounds like it could have been much worse. Probably not a great idea to run him out there this week even if Puka says he's good.

Practically down to a skeleton crew for Sunday as things get worse.

You missed my point bro.
I never mentioned anything that you are referring to.
Karma is a self-made thing that has nothing to do with mysticism or magic or anything you're referring to.
You make your own environment that surrounds you by being good to people or you make the environment around you bad by being bad to people.
There's always going to be bad things that happened to you that aren't sure fault and there's also going to be some good things that happen to you that you don't deserve.
That's actually the Buddhist meaning of karma.
Just that you can weigh the MAJORITY of good things that happened towards you.
Ask any road rager for instance.
Blood pressure, car damage, cardiovascular stress. Revenge. Revenge on the revenger. It's all very avoidable and up to you as an individual. That's the actual meaning of karma despite what it's morphed into.

Again you're talking about probabilities not karma. When you do bad shit, you increase the probability of bad shit happening but there's zero guarantee of it ever happening. You could do bad shit and never pay the price and still be surrounded by a good environment as a result. Again you're speaking probabilities. Guess to me no such thing as karma, but hey we don't agree on that and that's ok.

You just can't take not disagreeing, just wanna argue or insult as a last word....kinda sad but whatever. Good chat, I won't add anymore to it as there's nothing new to add.

I think it's semantics.

I believe the Simpson pick was a logical pick for the future.

No one can say it was the correct pick, yet. It will take time.

Posters are questioning this years picks because non are making any contributions on the offense and defense. I'll leave it at that.

In my case it’s this year AND last years picks. As it relates to skill positions.

But anyway, not my conversation. I understand the Simpson pick.

Yeah, some are upset at a lack of an impact player for this year. Yet, no rookie would have changed what has happened thus far.

However, with the way this year has gone, and if it goes off the rails, I feel a lot better about the future knowing we have a young QB waiting in the wings. I also mean the immediate future, knowing they have a talented QB, who has already spent a year in the system. And if needed that QB could step in next year and be successful.

That is important because if Stafford stepped away next year, this is still a talented roster that should compete and win, if they get solid QB play.

My take might not be popular, but I'd be really curious to see how creative McVay gets without Puka in the lineup. This is obviously a major challenge, to potentially be playing without your starting WRs.

When McVay's back is against the wall, I think that's when he really shines.

That said, obviously if he can play at close to 100% then it'd be wise to have him in the game.

My concern is that we're rushing him back. I'd rather have him rest this week if it means he gets the time he needs to get healthy.

I'm not entirely sure if we can afford to.... That's the really sucky part about having the record that we have. I hate even thinking that way.

With or without Puka, this is gonna be a tough game with all the other Rams out. They are in serious jeopardy of being 2-5. Dire straits
