Rams Free Agency day 2

[lockdnram21]

Heck no to all three! I don't trust what we already have and I don't want to rely on a rookie at the 2nd most important position on the line.

Well what do u suggest

Better get this man signed. Not much left.

Well what do u suggest

Wiz or Puente.

Hard to believe when Jones is the smartest player on the team. If they go into next season counting on either of them, I will be a very sad Sloth. I don't trust them to give Foles the protection he needs. I'm tired of bad O-lines in StL.

Being smart is fine, but if you don't have the reps and experience doing something, you can't do it. But if they believe with the reps he can do it, that's all good.

Plus, he's a damn CHILD ABUSER by nature so I'm not so sure that any human being would want that cat

Not trying to comment on that here (although I do have a take on it). My only point is that as a football player who will be eligible to play and likely want to leave Minny and have to do it after the draft due to timeline constraints, he'll be constricted by the number of teams with remaining cap room.

To move, he'll have to rework his deal. That's a given.

I personally don't have a doubt that he's the best RB in the NFL and I think he's easily got another 3 years. So yeah, I'd get him because you go get a HoF RB who changes games.

As for his off the field sitch, I'll say this... If Greg Hardy gets to play, AP gets to play ALL DAY.

 

[Ramsey]

He's a next level RB and we're a power running team. AP would actually be perfect for this team as it is set up with Mason as the change of pace back.

I have no info, but I can't imagine that with this cap room that someone at Rams Park hasn't brought it up...

And think about it. He's the kind of addition who would immediately change things...

I won't allow myself to wish for AP, but I like the way you think Mack! A.Peterson would add nitro to Ram's theoretical high octane rushing machine.

It would be nice to watch Foles throw forty TD's to wide open WR's, because defenses have stuffed 8 men in the box to stop AP... Ah, to dream!


Foles stands amid the roar
Of Saint Louis on the shore,
While AP runs for daylight
Tavon catches every pass in sight and scores...

The Sack Attack! See how they rush
Like sand that seeps and sieves, and crushes

While Wilson, Kaepernick, and what's his name weep,
See the Mighty Quinn and A. Donald grimly reap
Quarterback and running back indiscriminately

Grab them with a tighter grasp
So that the Fisherman might finally clasp
The Lombardi Trophy behind the mask
Of a bushy "I am the Walrus" mustache,

Is all that we see or seem
But a dream within a dream?


PS...In my post and poem, I did not take into account that AP abused his child. That's huge! And it's an albatross that AP will wear around his neck for the rest of his natural born life... Let it be know, I compartmentalized... I daydreamed about AP's football talent and not his parenting skills...Nothing more...Let us hope that A. Peterson and his family have embraced LOVE and that AP has LEARNED from his mistakes...

Not sure on AP as a human or as a player the Rams should invest in

God willing Cig has more faith in Zac Stacy. Plus this is a deep Draft for RB's

I say pass

If all he needed was reps, then why didn't they let him play the last few games last year when we were already eliminated? It wouldn't have hurt a thing and we'd have a better idea of what he is.

Because even if you are eliminated, you don't mail in the rest of the season for the sake of the fans.

Wells still playing was purely Fisher's nepotism showing. And you'll never convince me otherwise.

Because of pride. Fisher will never intentionally lose a game or give reps to young players and he thought a veteran was his best chance. He does this all the time.

But you already know why Fisher didn't. Wells was going to play no matter what because Fisher was more comfortable with the veteran. It had nothing to do with Jones or Barnes.

That's not mailing it in and it surely isn't for the fans. It wouldn't have changed a thing unless we found out Jones could play.

I agree with the nepotism part, though.

Playing Jones over Wells would have been intentionally losing the game? I don't agree. He also played Davis over Hill. Hill was a veteran that would have probably given him a better chance to win but he played Davis anyways to see what he could do.

 

[DaveFan'51]

I'd take Britt and Barksdale back..... then Williams, throw in Starks, and Blalock and get ready for the draft. Wiz can come along too if he wants too.

I thought Blalock was locked up by KC!?

Mike Person has signed with the Falcons

Good I didn't like him anyway!

Blalock is on his way to STL for a visit.

 

[Tron]

Rams interested in Nick Farley according to B/R pop up I just got.

Ugh. Elite talent. Lazy as fuck. If there's one thing I hate, it's a lazy fucker.

 

[DaveFan'51]

This^ won't Fly with Williams!! He'll work or be OUT!

 

[12intheBox]

I'd do a one year prove it deal with a guy like Fairley.

We could always get you one of these if you're too sad
