Never been much of a fan of Hill, but he did have some key moments in games this year. Still, I'd roll with Long, Burgess, and a drat pick.

I wish Hill the very best of luck in finding a team and having them pay him a fuckton of money.

Good fucking riddance. If I had it my way, he'd get life without parole. Total fucking scumbag.

Do you think McVay would have succeeded with Sam Bradford as his starting QB?

I dont think Bradford was half the QB that Goff is, but he surely would have been better with McVay. Now how good would they have been with Kellen Clemens, AJ Feeley, Shaun Hill and Austin Davis? Again, better than they were, but hardly SB contenders.
In a small sample, games under McVay watch with QB other than Goff? 1-1 record, 2 turnovers, 0 touchdown passes/runs, 68.6 QB rating and 22 total points

Rather than start a new thread, this article fits here.

Apparently this dude hit the strip clubs after the Super Bowl. I don't know if it was the night of the Bowl or the next night... but he kept his streak going.

He was able to jump on stage at a couple of clubs and do his best stripper imitations until he was tossed by security.

Yuri,,,, you are a madman. I want to party with you cowboy.

Wolford has yet to score in the NFL so I'm not that confident in his abilities just yet.
We do know that he can throw an interception and get knocked out of the game though.

5th round???? OK what's wrong with that picture? Character issues?

latest mock has him late first or second round pick
train

BTW as the ILBs go I really like Dylan Moses. I think he could help us. He projects from round 2 through 3, I expect that to change with him solidifying as a round 2 guy because guys who can move well but also fill downhill in traffic tend to go before round two is over.

In our defense he would reinforce the edge from the ILB spot with much better consistency than we had last year due to his mobility and instincts. But he's physical too. This is the kind of LB we need IMO.

Also looking at this year's list of ILBs who sort into that early range it seems like there's more of them than that early range can handle. Which makes me think one of them falls to us. Real good chance we're looking at a nice ILB upgrade there at 57 IMO question is whether there's something else they want more there.

Yes it was

However, before COVID - the home that he was in said he probably only had 6 months to live with how he was declining so he basically died 5 months early or so. I was pretty much expecting the call every day in April.

Thing was - I live in WV and he lives in NM and I was supposed to see him one last time in late March and they locked him down before I got to see him.

Yeah, lots of fighting the bureaucracy but yeah, I’m taken care of.

And too right about having a good spouse.

I just saw this thread. In retrospect, it's quite the read. @TexasRam comes off like Nostradamus. And @Merlin is hilarious. Thank goodness we don't have to depend on a backup QB to win us games. LOL.

I cannot wait to get a vaccine and be able to travel about with the destination Inglewood California so I can echo Rudy's Dad sentiments and say: This is the most beautiful sight these eyes have ever seen!

I’d like JJ resigned over Floyd also. He’s the leader of the secondary, he was drafted by the Rams and he’s got great football sense. Plus he’d be cheaper.

I recall an article last summer that quoted one Demoff or Snead or someone saying resigning JJ is an offseason priority. I know things can change but I don’t believe he’s as easily replaced as many here believe.

I could see them franchising JJ3 for a year as they work out a long term deal. The tag for a Safety is stupid low. I expect that Safeties will lobby to be lumped in with CBs as DBs just like the IOLs lobbied to all be lumped in with LTs as just OL.

I want an impact guy with that round 2 pick. Don't care what position either. It could be ILB and I'm fine with that. Just go get an elite guy that slips through due to this covid shit and all the restrictions. If its an Edge or Center even better of course.

I know that's the plan... I just really have a feeling that if they can get these vaccines out, that by May, the numbers will look very different.

I hope that enough will have changed for the better that the entire off-season won't be scrapped.

No dead money after this year and we're two-three years away from not having a QB contract, so I'm not remotely worried about pushing cap hits into the future.

If people keep saying "going all in", were going to have to recognize that it's possible for a team to go "all in" every year since that's what we seem to do.

Yep. The defense, or lack thereof was as responsible for the lower rushing totals as anything. Lions always playing from behind. I would be just fine with a game manager type season from our QB. Hand it off, kill em with with play action. DON'T TURN THE BALL OVER. Repeat.

We will crown our winner soon, with the league year changing soon and all events settled.

@Karate61 surged past @HX76 with the Superbowl win.

This was a fun wager year! Our season technically continues... until the league year reset. But we might be done with events. Announcements soon!

Here is an updated list of 20 players I like as Rams prospects for Round 2 and beyond:

Tutu Atwell, WR, Louisville
Dyami Brown, WR, North Carolina
Baron Browning, LB, Ohio State
Divine Deablo, S, Virginia Tech
Landon Dickerson, C, Alabama
Victor Dimukeje, EDGE, Duke
D’wayne Eskridge, WR, Western Michigan
Paris Ford, S, Pittsburgh
Richie Grant, S, Central Florida
Creed Humphrey, C, Oklahoma
Patrick Jones, EDGE, Pittsburgh
Walker Little, OT, Stanford
Quinn Meinerz, C/OG, Wisconsin-Whitewater
Josh Myers, C, Ohio State
Dillon Radunz, OT, North Dakota State
Quincy Roche, EDGE, Miami
Amari Rodgers, WR, Clemson
Assante Samuel, Jr., CB, Florida State
Anthony Schwartz, WR, Auburn
Rodarius Williams, CB, Oklahoma State

WTF???

I gotta say... That looked like a culling of the herd of 3 people using up too much oxygen and resources.

Think that was part of the ESPN brain drain?

there wasn't much brain to drain from nfl live. it was a fun show. but it was bearable before and the only show i could watch on tv for my nfl fix, if i taped it and fast forwarded to the parts i wanted to watch. watching it live, forget about it, unwatchable.

now though even the clips on youtube are horrible.

Yes, these were wins. Thanks for positing. They weren't the best effort of the 2 Pitt Edge guys.... trying to dip and losing your balance...

Click to expand...

They weren't, but they also speak to Moore's skills. I think he has the athleticism to play LT in the NFL. As things stand now, he's sloppy with his hands (lets them drop, catches instead of punches, and is imprecise with the placement). He also will occasionally lunge. But the kid played at Western Michigan. Give him a redshirt year, and he'll be a player. You can fix the technical flaws. But you can't teach his balance, anchor, flexibility, power, natural mirroring, and quick, patient feet. When I watch him, I see a guy who can be a quality starter at either OT spot (just meets the length thresholds) and a top tier OG. I watched a few of his college games, and nobody could turn the corner on him. If you want to beat him, you have to exploit the rawness with his hands and go through him.

Losing Kupp would make me sad....
