These are some of the gambles a Front office has to make when we have no first Round Picks. I do not begrudge the FO on swinging the bat...I also applaud them for releasing someone they knew would spark criticism over their miss...mark of responsible Team Management. Go Rams!
I will offer an opinion on the Woods trade thinking...but of course, just an opinion. I think Sean fell in love with the Goal Line 50/50 ball that we had with OBJ down the stretch. Sean could have been thinking that he wasn't sure if OBJ would be available at all this year, so he took a player that was known for 50/50 possession catches in Allen Robinson. I think he liked the idea of good Red Zone catches instead of the Swiss Knife ability of Robert Woods. Just a guess really, but that's the only way I could square it. I loved Bobby Woods...great teammate, great professional.
The one advantage of losing is it forces the team to cast off the shitters they are trying to hang on to hope with.
There's another way to look at this: you were wrong for questioning them last season as proven by the Super Bowl win. And you're wrong again this year as proven by the team losing.
Your attempted logic has failed since I do in fact question them this year but thank you for the effort.
Just so I'm clear, there's no questioning the decisions made last year simply because they won the Super Bowl?
Agreed. The guy was a first-round talent but his health was questioned. In the end... it wasn't really about his health. As far as we know anyway.
I think reading here and other places about the Rams the risk was fine but what a lot of questions surround is there are too many injury risks. Some injury risk players are fine the Rams just seem to do a lot of it without hedging on some safer bets.
Looks like about 80-90% of all those players are still in the league. Doesn’t look like a lot of misses to me.
He made more plays for the Rams!! It's just perspective that when he makes a play for SF, he's an ex-Ram.I still don't get that....I liked him though I guess others didn't. And he seems to make plays for the Niners.
Wow. I genuinely admire the optimism but I really don't share it.
Ebukham was a nice draft pick,but he is no George Kittle. Those E.Washington guys haven’t done to bad for The RMs though.
I didn't say that. Just pointing out there's more ways to view it than the victim angle. He was wrong about the QB move. Many were. Doesn't make them victims makes them wrong.
All good.
Just centering in on their time as a Ram I only see 3 hits from this list of 21.
No victim angle about it at all. Just a funny double standard. So before they'd won the Super Bowl they were unquestionable people. After they won it and had a losing season it's ok to question them. There's no rhyme or reason to this line of thought it's actually backwards. And I question their moves on a regular basis, as do a whole lotta people around here. I disagree with drafts as do the vast majority of people here. We all disagree with which free agents we sign and don't. You're included in all this as am I. We all disagree with things and are right and wrong and we all will like things they do and are right and wrong.
I would only count it as a complete miss if they are no longer in the league.
I agree that it's all good; and, as I posted earlier, quality teams lose talented players in free agency.
