It's incredible sometimes how naive and brutal so-called "fans" can be when casting judgement on individuals within the organization.
Just passing through that other site, it's a shame what a sh!@#$t show it has become over there. I stop by and one of the more popular threads is a thread bashing our own Mr. Demoff. I've have the pleasure of briefly meeting Mr. Demoff when the Rams visited New England in the preseason a few years ago and he was very cordial. In fact, he asked me if I was a native of St. Louis visiting New England simply because I knew everyone on the sideline and was cheering on all of them to show support lol. It was pretty funny, he shook my hand and couldn't believe I picked him out of a crowd to say hello.
Going back to my point, I've never been one to stand on the soap box because quite honestly, it's a waste sometimes to even argue with those fools but when I saw that thread I couldn't help myself but feel bad for the guy because I think he's done a wonderful job in the position he's been put in. As his previous work with the Bucs shows, he does a fantastic job with contract extensions making sure we are not ever in a position to be too tied up in cap money. And while many of our free agent signings have been lackluster, his responsibility I'm sure is to extend a contract to the individuals our coaches and management find as team fits. Looking at this off-season for example, our team is in prime position to not only extend some of our young, bright stars, but we also have the opportunity to get ourselves another big piece of the puzzle if choose so in free agency, and that's HUGE. Look at teams like the Cowboys, for example. Their cap situation is always awful and now they're busy looking over their roster and seeing what talented players they have to restructure or cut because they don't have someone quite like our CFO who can position all the contracts well to continue keeping all the talent, short-term and long-term.
Also, living here in New England, all the relocating chitchat bares little weight in my following of the team, but I can understand all the uneasiness fans out in the Midwest must feel because no one wants to see their beloved team leave. But I think it's a bit ridiculous to hang on every word the man says because quite honestly it seems as though he is simply the messenger between us fans and a very quiet owner. Again, I won't try and sit here and bang the table one way or the other if you will, but I will say that the guy has been doing as good a job as he can within the guidelines he must follow in informing fans.
I just think some "fans" are losing it a little bit and taking it out on the wrong guy. So Mr. Demoff if you're reading this, just know that as a fan I am very appreciative of the all the wonderful work you've done thus far for our team and I hope you can continue to provide that high quality of work for our Rams. We here are very supportive of our club and I know for sure there are many fans here on this forum who share the same sentiments.
GO RAMS!!!
Thank you Mr. Demoff,
