I wasn't as hype as everyone else when he was signed. I thought he was an asshole...and not the good kind of asshole, just one of those that did what he wanted and didn't care if hurt someone.

The sack near the end of the game he seemed legit happy, that's something I've never seen from him. And did he actually smile after that? Course winning makes the difference, but still.

He's been playing well and everyone seems to be talking about him for the right reasons. Even if there will be adversity at some point, I don't think his attitude is gonna change.

Kudos...he is now truly A Man Named Suh.

Suh is a very good guy off the field and a good teammate. I hope he decides to stay in LA and gives the team a hometown discount on an extension after this season.

I was dubious about the Suh signing also. I had a chance to talk to him at TC and realized I had no idea what kind of guy he is. Very soft spoken, articulate and football smart. He went out of his way to talk to fans on the sidelines. Suh is proving his worth.

Totally Agree! I am not holding my breath that Suh agrees to an esxtension with the Rams BUT I will be Thrilled if somehow the Rams can make that happen!

Though he didn't come out and say it, Suh wants a ring and to stay put with one team to finnish his career. He's already got that big contract, Miami is still paying him. He likes the coaching staff and the players, and he's not in the lime light like he was in Detroit and Miami.

I'm holding on to my final opinion on the $14 Million signing of Suh. Sometimes he looks like he gets no penetration. He has made some plays but, I'm not sure they are worth the money so far. I wonder if Wade has been waiting to move around like he did on the sack from the DE position. It's early and the defense hasn't reached its potential. It looks like he is helping to plug the middle against the run.

I was wondering this week how much he is worth for a 2-3 year contract?

The power of the culture McVay installed can NOT be understated.

Guys who were thought to be talented knuckleheads become leaders and ballers.

Suh, Peters and Talib... there was doubt on this board, but who's doubting now?

I think it also says something when they say no to someone...looking at you, Junior Galette.

After this season, I really wonder if Suh's going to try and stay. For the first time in his life, he seems really HAPPY to play.

They might keep Suh and let Brockers go and use JFM, instead. I dunno.

And I don't really want to think about it because I really want to stay in the moment as much as possible.

I think a lot of that chemistry stuff was invented by the media. How will all these guys play on the same team without melting down ? They said.
Besides the whole chain snatching thing which I really didn’t get, Talib has been a pro, Suh hasn’t had any issues for a while, but all the talking heads regurgitated the same thing and of course it’s been a non issue. Some of it is wishful thinking I think, I heard a guy talking about how the rams were headed for cap hell, based on what? I don’t know.

The really crazy thing is he may think about and take on an opportunity to keep competing while also earning by following Kroenke and becoming a realstate/business man

He’s really cleaned up his image which is good for him. Just had to grow up and put the game in perspective and not react with anger.

He is articulate and is a good example for others players that want to act like thugs.

As far as his impact on the game, he’s going to win most of his battles and be solid in the run game, but it wouldn’t be fair to expect him to dominate the same way Donald does with the double teams. There is no player that plays at Donald’s level and i’m not sure there ever has been. JJ Watt may be the closest thing from a Dominating inside force presence.

Suh is playing like a low end Pro Bowler, then again he’s no spring chicken anymore.

Suh is also a friend of Warren Buffet! So, if you want some ace stock tips, he's the guy to speak with. Crazy smart and a great guy on and off the field. People can change.

Suh is a very articulate and intelligent man. He was wrongly portrayed as though he’s the bad guy intent on sending players to the IR.

I would prefer Wade has Suh playing DE and insert Brockers and Westbrook along with Ebukam along the Five-man D-line for truly be fitting the name of Mob Squad.

I have to agree. Honestly kinda sad everyone on this board is saying he is a changed man. The guy hasn't changed just your perspective of him has changed. If anyone had watched the documentary that I believe espn did on him a few years back you would see the same player.

Looked at the Cap for 2019, Brockers hit is close to 11 million, just over 10 million would be saved if he is cut. Interesting question for the Rams, Brockers or Suh. Not sure they want both with Donald signed long term.

Agreed suh is all that and above. Has he made his share of mistakes yes but so has ever single person who says he's a bad person for the mistakes he made.

He was an absolute prick of a player. Making dirty moves and his aura was, to me at least, like he didn't care about team performance, just doing what he wants.

It seems like his entire personality has changed in LA tho.
