Just Marcus Peters and stuff. Could be a white flag or retool.

I think they are just trying to shake things up and make room for young guys to get in there. Trying to just see if they can turn things around.

And a day after losing Talib. Maybe the $5MM has a better purpose than the serviceable Peters.

They broke two common sense rules.

1. Never pay a RB
2. Never pay a mediocre QB

Trading for Ramsey now. No white flag. Solid retool.

You can pay a running back with his talent but you probably need some protections for that knee.

RB are a dime a dozen, you use em and abuse em. Then replace em through the draft.

Not generational backs. When healthy Gurley is a generational back. He had a history of knee problems though.

Who do you consider generational backs? Just 5 in the last 20 years..


I bet one ( if that) has a ring.

He seems done. Last year was their one shot and they shit the bed.

LT and AP stand out. I'm old and sleep deprived so if given enough time I could give you more.

So glad it wasn't KC.

Wasn't your offer Fuller and a 2nd?

The Jaguars have a better shot at the playoff than LA. Really disappointed this happened but I'm glad Ramsey is going to a team that's going nowhere.

Two firsts straight up. Holy shit, more draft capital than it cost to get Mack.

I offered Raiders 2nd 2020 and Bears 1st 2021.

So the Rams picked first overall in 2016 and, barring a trade, will not pick in the first round again until 2022.

They have some analytics dogma in their front office that first-round picks are way overvalued. You could tell before but now its really obvious. It flatly hasn't worked though, they've loaded up on picks outside the top-100 and its resulted in a bunch of pitiful classes. Quantity over quality doesn't seem to be the way yet the Rams are doubling down on it. This + the massive amount of money they are paying Goff has me believing the 2021 pick could be top-five and the 2020's in general may be a really dark decade for LA football.

This is a bad trade.

Yes. That's in the ballpark. I would have thrown in another 2nd if need be.

Before today by far the Rams' two best players are the two guys they drafted in the first round in back-to-back years. Yet they seem intent on never picking in the first round again.

Its a bad strategy. You want first crack at the elite talent, even if it doesn't always pan out you've got a much better shot of a guy becoming a true star that way than hoping you strike gold in the fourth.

The Rams roster is going to look like an absolute shit pile in three years.

It already does. Their OL and receivers (except Cupp) look terrible and they basically have two really elite defenders mired in a sea of shit.

Marshall Faulk.

And I'm stuck without the Google. Most others that pop into mind played too briefly.
