This is a more likely scenario for what they will end up with.

The 49ers are already a bottom 5 team.
If this is their mentality I think they still don't get it.

I certainly hope this is the case.

That would send a lot of fans over the edge and would would make a really, really bad situation even worse. Can you imagine them winning in the lame duck year.........wow that would be ugly.

Yeah.
Talk about bitter sweet.
It could happen. The team should be better next year than it was last (a lot of last minute wins last year).

If this is an advertisement, i'll go ... under a few conditions. The following must be included :

1) Jennifer Lawrence
2) Lifetime supply of food/alcohol/weed of our choice. Oh yeah, don't forget the papers & lighters.
3) Large Air tight pre-fab home with built-in swimming pool, jacuzzi, green house.
4) Man cave with billiard & air hockey table, large screen TV & signal for all Rams games with a lifetime guarantee.
5) Solar panels, wind turbine & batteries for above.
6) 2 electric powered ATV's along with 2 spacesuits.
7) A second house with all the makings of the first so that after she throws me out due to my abundance of 'needs', I can put in another request.

By the way, how long does it take for a TV signal to reach this place. Will I be watching a Sunday morning football game on a Friday night ? Doesn't matter, but I do need to schedule my week. opcorn:

My demands would be the same but I would demand a third house and

In it
And
In the second so when Jennifer Lawerence kicks me out I have options!

Or jumped 12 inches higher....which is why I'm always looking for h/w/s guys....

Damn shame...

Cleveland and the Jets...probably the Jags too should wait for QB's in the next draft....Jets should give Hackenberg a shot. They drafted him in the 2nd round for goodness sake...

The New York Football Giants will draft Patrick Mahomes from Texas Tech, book it!

I'd say Rams sign Ogletree to an extension pretty soon (Donald will get his eventually) and I think as for Johnson, Alexander, Joyner, and Gaines - it's all about how well they perform this year.

Click to expand...

IMHO, the automatics are Aaron Donald, Ogletree and Joyner. I'd add Connor Barwin to my wish list. Trumaine Johnson doesn't want to sign long term or at least not at a reasonable number. Alexander should be easy and affordable to extend if they choose. Gaines, Davis, Easley, Westbrooks and Walker have to shine in order to get one. Let's hope Webster and Robey are better than expected and we draft a corner or three in the next two drafts.

A team that dropped the ball as much as we have over the past few years isn't a team I'd describe as having possession WRs.

OK.You will get no argument on this point.lol.
Glad to see 2 of those culprits gone.

jrry32 said:

But I'll also point out that 40 times don't really give you an accurate picture of what a WR can do

Click to expand...

True.

You will not get a argument from me on the talent of Kupp.I love what he brings to the table.He is my kind of receiver.
I am just a bit worried that defenses would be able to sit down on the short game,without that vertical threat.
But then again,we aint playing fisherball anymore.The Schemes will be legit.

Love talking football and I appreciate your input 32.
Meanwhile,I'm going to check out some game film
of this Kittle kid you like.

Lolololololol

Love it @jrry32

I like guys with h/w/s that can play..

Joyner can prove what you believe in 3 months.... So will Randolph.

Very interesting.

The top-end speed number for Dalvin Cook reminded me of this:

It struck me as interesting because of his 40 time.

Good read jrry. I am and have been a big fan of Kupp. I would love for him to be in horns :cheers:

dieterbrock said:

He already is signed.
For 1 year guaranteed at 16.7 mill.
They can sign him long term up to July 15th, and I don't see how they can restructure a 1 year deal.
I'm no cap/contract specialist but it seems to me Tru needs to sign an extension to be able to move that money around

Click to expand...

Sorry, signing him to an extension was what I meant. It would have to be an agreement in advance between the teams and the players, but TJ would get the security of a long term contract with a contending team, the Rams get the second round pick they said they wanted in return for him, the Saints get a CB who is already NFL ready rather than waiting for a rookie and Cleveland get more draft capital and use up some unwanted cap space. I'm not seeing a downside for anyone.

OldSchool said:

One speculation I saw elsewhere was KD went into a similar role as now but higher up in the Kroenke sports world and Peyton went a step above Snead. Just a thought I saw posted.

Click to expand...

I recall seeing the same thing, forget where though. That KD would move into overall administration to include things like the stadium build in addition to some of his current duties.

As always... I'm cautiously optimistic.

I was just wondering if Snead & McVay may have a strong opinion that iit may be very wise to fully discover the present hidden & cloaked Offensive treasures on this roster first ? Snead fully knows that he has invested heavily in the last two draft on the offensive side. I am sure he has not failed to bring up to HC McVay that over the last 2 Ram drafts 12 out of 15 picks were utilize on OFFENSE! In addition some of the most interesting UDFA's signed over this same period of time were on offense too.

Players like:
TE- Tyler Higbee a converted wide out who was injured most of his rookie season.

WR- Pharoh Cooper is a all-purpose player who was injured most of his rookie season

TE/SL/WR- Temarrick Hemingway now this Ram is a odd one...not your typical tight end prospect frame more like a very tall WR who is supper fluid with pass-receiving ability that said would take time developing.

WR- Thomas- shown to hit explosive play after explosive play when left in the lineup.

WR- Nelson Spruce-Injured entire rookie season but in college has proven to be polished, dependable route-runner with the soft hands.

WR- Marquez North- Previous a four-star prospect, injured his entire rookie season known to be highly reliable, soft hands, snatches ball away from his frame and gets upfield quickly-

Just how much of this talent was developed or even utilized on the field? Now after one & two seasons with the following Unsuccessful coaches like Frank Ciginetti Jr., Rob Boras, Dave McGinnis, Ray Sherman & Paul Boudreau working with these former draft selections & UDFA's just maybe there is more here buried than we may think? In conclusion can McVay really finally figure out how to utilize & unlock the mystery of WR Tavon Austin ?

The way you make it less of a crapshoot is by using common sense and pick players that produced in college and the chances are they'll start producing when they're together on the field.

This is just so stupid.

Who the hell is running that place?

Players who could be released after 2017 season;

Any player that doesn't perform with 100 percent effort.

Mark my words; Pharoh Cooper.

High character, high motor, relentless, athletic...just not sure if he's a perfect fit, doubt he would fall into the 2nd, but overall, the type of player that you want on your team.

Why do bad ass receivers wear 84? Moss, and White. Man. Dude was badass. I liked when he got in Shermans face though, priceless.

“It’s a 3-4, but it’s still a nose tackle, it’s still a three technique, and things like that,” defensive tackle Aaron Donald said Monday. “It’s called a 3-4 because, I guess the guys on the side” — outside linebackers — “are standing. But like I said, it’s the same for us. We’re still doing what we’re doing, penetrating, getting up field, and trying to make plays in the backfield.”

I'd love to visit Scotland and enhance my whiskey collection. What's you favorite whisky ? I'm loving my bottle of 18 year old Dalmore right now and just waiting for a special occasion to crack my Old Pulteney 21 year old.

YES! Dalmore is the best. It's the closest distillery to where I grew up. I'm also loving a Balvenie Carribean Cask at the moment (aged in old rum barrels... yeah. Is as good as it sounds).

Merlin said:

His approach sounds like it's on point. Quick was a great example of "forcing it." Let's not do that.

I am sure there will be a receiver or two that will be their guy if he's there at 37. Same with OL and TE. If they're all gone, get the defensive player who has the value.

Even if they see a defensive guy they have a very high grade on drop to them, just take him. Les has to hit on his picks this year, he has to show what he can do out from under Fisher's shadow. So I like what he says above, and it sounds like he's got a plan to get the best player he can, which is what will help him and the team most.

I agree completely Merlin! But just to play ' Devil's advocate', so to speak. IF the Rams do Trade up for some reason " It BETTER be one KILLER pick!!
