Or a dumpster fire filter where everything is burning...
That would be better. The bottom of the screen starts burning. Less intrusive.

Which boggles the mind that they trade for a zone corner in Peters. Did they just guess he could play man?

The problem is that they should have made the trade contingent on extending him. Remember this is a guy who faked an injury to force a trade. So really we should not need to be wondering if he will resign.

Were mistakes made? Yes, but what organization in the NFL hasn't made them at one time or another. I'm not sure Gurley applies to the term mismanagement. I think that labeling falls under the heading of hindsight, not foresight. Where they went wrong was believing the player when he says he's fine. Maybe they insist upon a medical physical before entering into a mega-contract. But then injuries happen on the field during games.
The question in my mind is how management responds to problems. I have watched their moves and overall I think this team is better managed than most. Bad management? Just look at the Chargers, Dolphins, and Browns. They made the right move with Goff because when you look at the escalation of QB contracts, his contract is pretty much in line with his level of play. He's actually 6th on the list when you look at his contract. Also, after this coming season, his cap hit drops and continues to drop until it's $26M in 2024. They front-loaded his contract to take the hit now with an eye on the other talent they will need to pay. That is very good cap management. So to fault management for an undisclosed injury really isn't right.
This FO has built a legitimate Super Bowl contending roster. It remains one of the most talented rosters with fewer holes and than most. Sure they lost Fowler but they have Ebukam and Floyd ready to take his place. They lost Littleton but in reality, Corey was too limited in this scheme and they gained speed at LB. They added Robinson to create a roadblock in the middle.
I say people need to quit looking at who is leaving and not who they have and where they are going.
They can grab a RB in the second or 3rd round if they feel so inclined. There definitely will be good talent at that position. In fact, the way Snead operates the only way he releases Gurley is because he's got his eye on a replacement. IMO he's looking at a RB in the draft. It's the one position that rookies normally can play well as rookies. Look at Gurley, over 1,100 yds, 10 TDs with a 4.8 yd per carry average.
Good management doesn't make a move without a plan. In every move, the FO has made the last few years it's been obvious Snead was working off a plan. I think he still is.

It’s there, just hidden. Touch in that area or near. We will get that taken care of, seems unique to the mobile layout.

It was a really short sighted move. Baltimore's using him to his strengths and he killed it for them last year. I'm really surprised Martindale didn't get any looks as a head coach. Baltimore's real lucky to have him. It's the same thing with Belichick, you scheme to fit your players. You don't pigeon hole guys and expect it to work. It's a recipe for disaster.

I noticed ever since that MSN article by a guy I never heard of came out about the Rams falling apart, people are jumping on that bandwagon like the 2020 season is over and it already happened.
If that's what floats your boat, fine, have at it. But I think I will wait to see how the season plays out before I go with that narrative.

I think many of us are looking at the roster of who they have now. And I don't have a problem discussing roster shortfalls, though it seems like some get upset when that happens.
OL is a unit full of question marks. RB needs a guy who can eat carries at a minimum. ILB is full of low talent options. OLB lacks a natural/skilled pass rusher outside of maybe Polite who is an insane person. DL depth is weak and if Robinson plays NT for us we still need a 5T. If GZ isn't signed we need a kicker. Return game needs someone who can flip the field/i.e. explosive.
It's gonna be a tall order to get this roster back where it needs to be. Based on the above we need C, RB, SS (nickelbacker/ILB hybrid who can cover a bit), 5T, and Kicker. Based on window I feel we also need a dev LT in this OT friendly draft so he can start his development (also boost our options at OG) and maybe we'll be able to quit leaning on the old guy. And this is just me but I'd feel really good about a CB2 to help insulate us vs Hill being Hill (still don't fully trust him).
We'll see how the draft goes. If they draft well and we sign GZ things might look ok by next month. But for now I think we're back to building this roster to catch the 9ers and we have a lot less draft capital. Got my fingers crossed though.
