Yeah. Just gotta hope the dude is all-in. If he is then he's got the talent to help us. Main worry is Cam missing time, but we'll see how shit sorts in camp. Rams have a type though at RB and maybe this time it pays off.
I keep wondering what is on the draft menu for 2024. If the Rams are one of the worst teams then future QB, WR and RB may be picks 1-2-3.
I think QB is in the mix at 1 2 or 3 no matter what since Stafford isn't going to last much longer.
Re: RB specifically if we get to midseason and Akers is dinged up and the fucking backup options cannot move the offense and we're considering pissing away another draft pick to solve what should have been an avoidable problem... I would fire every fucking scout who has anything to do with our RB selections over the past years. Because I am goddamn tired of watching other teams take better backs and us needing to make moves to fix entirely avoidable situations.
I just read an article about next years draft. Dane Brugler has the Rams picking a Corner at the 9th pick. Kool-Aid McKinstry. I guess it’s possible if they pick in that area.
I do wonder if the Rams were interested in Vaughn. My guess is yes and they panicked because Evans was their last draftable back. I did like a few backs that went after Evans (McBride - but has no receiving chops, McIntosh - who only has receiving chops), but I thought Evans was the best all around back left.
If Akers has a career year, I'm sure Rams would tender him with 2nd round comp. He'd have to have a monster year for another team to offer that and a new contract to him. My guess is he's here at least 2 more seasons.Agreed. He's not the guy who is willing to beat his head against a tough front. But give him a seam and he goes. I think Hendy was quicker too. This guy is more powerful which I do like and his stiff arm is excellent.
If all goes to plan though Akers has a career year then leaves to get us a comp pick.

That’s actually one of his problems
probably why the lazy comparisons to Gordon
How about that run where he took it outside and he splits those two defenders.
My goodness you're still pissed off about the RB selection?
Yeah I am. Gotta be honest. Tired of that position relying on guys who cannot be relied upon. Feel like I'm on crazy pills when it comes to the Rams and RB.
Here's a thought
I never called him a piece of shit. I correctly observed he's unreliable. So spare me your self-righteous bullshit.
You've given so many negative comments about his ability and availability and his choice in shoes that you most certainly have. You may not have used those words and you may think you're not shitting on him. But you're absolutely wrong. A week later you're still on him in his draft thread.
