Worst Player in Rams History

[ScotsRam]

What about some of those QBs who played a game or two back in the naughties? Jeff Smoker or Craig Nall anyone?!

Taking in to consideration:
1) Draft position
2) Attitude
3) Play or lacktherof
I think its got to be Greg Robinson

Man I just googled it and Craig Nall didn't even fucking play for us. Who am I thinking of?! Keith Null?

Isaiah Pead

Worst one other than Phillips was probably Wayne Gandy or Bern Brostek ( don't even remember that guy)

I remember Bern !!! One of my favourite trading cards ..

Jason Smith has to be in the top 3

Sam bradford

Leonard Little killed a woman by drink driving. Never forget.

And drove drunk again later on in life. You'd think that he learned his lesson. Obviously not.

Every damn WR after Bruce/Holt and before Woods/Kupp except Danny Amendola.

Dude got caught trafficking 150+lbs of marijuana at a border patrol checkpoint in Texas on i-10. All he had to do was avoid the interstate. D-U-M-B.

I'd like to dedicate a song to Justin King for his "efforts"

Trung Candidate, Jason Smith, Tommy Polley…

WOW - Downtown Ram had Tommy Polley on his radio.He was a good player & Ram. That is just a wrong evaluation as a player.

Trung ? Excuse me ? Was it Tommy Polley who The Rams got ? I guess if so it must add up a Zero & Double worse Rams.

Greg Robinson or Jason Smith ? As of being DUMB ? I know which player I’d say.

I have a conspiracy theory on Jason Smith. I believe he hit his head horse back riding in rodeos. I wonder if he has any ptsd or whatever it is with concussions. Never seen an O’lineman have the kind of injuries he had so easily.

The Greg Robinson pick though was such a bad pick.There was so many options. An example would be having the left side Tennessee has. Plus an extra first rd pick.

I was always for keeping that RG111 pick forever.

Worst player who should have been benched but never was - Craig Dahl

On another board I used to post on, somebody made a typo suggesting we should sign Jake Long to play safety (he put an 'S' instead of a 'T'). I had to remind this poster that:

1) Jake Long was going to be expensive; and
2) He only provided a slight upgrade over Dahl with respect to his coverage abilities.

Oh there are - there are

However, our 1st round picks were actually decent to very good for the most part

Worst one other than Phillips was probably Wayne Gandy or Bern Brostek ( don't even remember that guy)

Other 1st round picks that were good

Todd Lyght
Sean Gilbert
Jerome Bettis
Kevin Carter
Orlando Pace
Eddie Kennison (well not that great but not horrible either that I can remember)
Grant Wistrom
Torry Holt

Some All Pros and Hall of Famers there - how the heck did we do so poorly

Must have been the 2nd rounds and lower

Just a funny comparison is Jerome Bettis & Todd Gurley. Both RB’s drafted in the 1st rd by The Rams with the 10th overall pick.

I liked the comparison. The Ex-Rams helped make the Steelers franchise better. Duval Love, Bettis & Green.
2’out of the 3 HOF. Georgia not paying these players sucked, alon with other great Ram players.

I hated how she didn’t say Ram Fans,but St.Louis Fans.I was upset about that because Ram Fans are all in it together.If or & or when The Rams win another SuperBowl the owner states Rams Fans & not LA Fans.

Claude Terrell. Sucked on the field, and he was a domestic abuser and rapist off it.

Terrell didn’t suck on the field. He just had a shit attitude in general.

We forget about Tavon Austin or something?

Especially when you consider that they could have stood pay and taken DHop.

Understandable. In fact, I envy you. Wish I could forget the Rams from 1990-1998.

During that stretch, they had the worst record in the NFL and did not have a winning season.

Second worst team of the decade. Bengals were first.

Every damn WR after Bruce/Holt and before Woods/Kupp except Danny Amendola.

Sean McDonald and Kevin Curtis were solid receivers. Also the safety turned receiver. ( forget his name)

 

[Zodi]

Also the safety turned receiver. ( forget his name)

Mike Furrey, receiver turned safety.

 

[Elmgrovegnome]

Mike Furrey, receiver turned safety.

I thought it was the other way around. He went to Detroit and really produced as a receiver with Kitna.

 

[jacktheripper85]

Barret Jones.

Top 3 in my recollection basing it on where they were picked, and who they were picked over:

1 - Greg Robinson, OT - 2nd overall. A huge bust. Didn't catch on with anyone, though others tried because of his raw tools. A disgusting group of good players were taken after him including our HOF Donald. 5-K.Mack, 6-J.Matthews, 7-M.Evans, 11-Lewan, 12-OBJ, 13-AD, 16-Z.Martin, etc ect. The list goes on. A really great first round and we pick the worst one in it when we had the entire class outside of Clowney to choose from. Yuck.

2 - Tavon Austin - 2013 8th overall (after we traded up to get him). This one still haunts me. We actually gave up some serious capital to move up and take him. At the draft spot we had previously, we could have taken likely HOF DeAndre Hopkins. And still had him. Hell, Cordarrelle Patterson is balling now even, and picked after both. This wasn't a crazy amazing draft but, if we were determined to get a WR in this class, we should have stuck to our position and taken the far more talented one.

3 - Jason Smith, OT - Just a useless player. Never materialized into even an average OL. The only saving grace is 2009 was a pretty bad draft overall. Stafford was the pick before (man would that have been much better), outside of that, the next truly outstanding draft pick was maybe Alex Mack at pick 21, followed by Clay Matthews at 26. Really a underperforming class as a whole.

Honorable Mention
-Sam Bradford, QB - 1st Overall 2010. Was he the least talented pick? No. Did he live up to his abilities, definitely not.
-Tye Hill, CB - Flashed amazing talent at the senior bowl and crazy athleticism, but was awful for us. Some pretty nice players went after him too.
-Lawrence Phillips - Was pretty close to the top 3 and probably should just be 3b. Pretty disgusting career and human. He was taken ahead of Eddie George BTW. And we got rid of Bettis to get him. Actually, maybe he's the worst afterall.

Missing on LT and QB repeatedly at the top of the draft is a kick in the nuts.
