The RAMS Forum

Hey, looks like we think alike! ;-)

I saw an article today where someone was saying we are in negotiations with a trade to Chicago Bears for Kyren Williams. (It was fan article on FB, and I don't feel like searching for it.)

Since this is the boring time of year...what are your thoughts on...
1) Trading KW for a ____ round pick?
2 ...

Yes indeed, we are damn lucky to have a real Franchise QB on this team; protect him and we will thrive!

Oh, and regarding your "rookie-wage scale era"-another thing with can all thank Samantha Badford for! :oops:



The rookie wage scale is one of the greatest reforms ever made in the league, it ended the era of players' agents promising that their clients were sure-fire Hall-of-Fame performers ...

Shula was very aggressive late in the season and it made a huge difference. Raheem didn't blitz Goff once in the '23 Wild card game and it cost us the game as we gave up 21 pts in 1st half and then brought the blitz in the 2nd half and we only gave up 3 pts.

Shula was outstanding in the 2nd half of ...

I feel 2025 should be a good deal better on defense.

The DL has a alot of experience we added Poona which will be a strong addition.

The OLBs have experience and Verse will be better and adding Stewart will help add depth to the OLBs.

I am very happy with all the additions at ILB with Paul ...

I think that they will be stronger for sure. One of the early issues was Verse learning to not over pursue. The big thing that I hope happens is the end of opposing teams hitting on 3rd and long, even very long. It often seemed like the Rams’ defense was better on 3rd and short than on 3rd and very ...

The old cliche. Jim's and Joe's vs X's and O's. Hard to make X's and O's work without the right Jim's and Joe's.

Given what the market was for Rodgers at his age and the contract he just signed (just 1 year), the Rams massively overpaid for Stafford’s 2026. Just makes that deal even more questionable.


These established 38+ year old QBs should be getting average to below average year to year money. So the ...

The Rams party line is to be slow and steady. Do not flinch. Jalen is NOT reporting to mandatory minicamp so the Dolphins are in a Mexican standoff with Jalen. Who will blink first?

If Miami refuses to cut him based on no suitors (too expensive) then Jalen blinks and goes back to his luxurious ...

I know we have Quessenberry and Humphries but neither to me are a lock for a very very valuable position.



Given Alaric Jackson's current health problems, to me there's a 90-95% chance that at least one of them will remain on our team's roster this year, and a 45-50% chance that both of them ...

Gary,

Your writing has become really superb; keep up the great work.

This latest dilemma is why I preferred to grab the best OT available in the 2nd round as opposed to obtaining a nifty TE.

Stafford must be protected at all costs this season; hope we have the horses in our stable to get the job done.

I am somewhat skeptical and you have to be. Honestly I thought Alaric's signing was a little odd. Not typical of a free agent their agent plays games usually. Alaric kept saying all the right things during the contract process I only want to play with Stafford, the contract wasn't drawn out it was ...

Just finished writing this… long read.

What a fabulous breakdown. You really nailed every part of this.. and the $33M 3 year deal makes sense and I agree... BUT, do we need to do this now, or should we wait?

We just have awful luck at ...

excellent breakdown.. thanks

I was unfamiliar with most of the players excecpt Norm Van Brocklin.

The game was played at Kezar Stadium. Van Brocklin passed 16/18 for 290 yards and 3 TDs; Elroy Hirsch had 5 receptions 145 yards, and 2 TDs.

Love it when the 9ers lose!

My point is the contract only. The player imo really earned his contract. I was one of the people constantly praising his play to me it was really solid and was very happy for the resigning. To me everyone jumped the gun the Rams downside needed to be protected. Every team that would have been ...

Not being just a homer don't you think Rams could be better than 12-5? If Rams stay healthy, start fast, win games you expect them to win, and play to what is expected 13-4, 14-3?


I am the biggest homer there is. I think the Rams will have a few rough outings. The CB’s concern me.


CB and ...

I'm gonna go with 11-6. AFAIC, the Defense still has areas that can be exploited and the Offense won't always be able to cover for them....

Makes us look dumb for letting him go for so little our compensation besides draft picks was a guy who literally caught 2 passes in his NFL career and was awful on the Rams



Actually, I suppose that it makes the McVay/Snead regime seem slightly less stupid by comparison; our team would look ...

This is a new show that comes out soon. I guess, even after all these years, Goff is still upset and decided to talk about how Mcvay didnt make him feel wanted.

JMO but who cares………..

I was curious what the return to pre ACL injury performance likelihood is for a NFL player. It varies from position to position QBs the best, RBs, WR, and linebackers worst and type/complexity of injury. From the med literature-

A total of 50 NFL athletes with multiligament knee injuries met ...

I hope Higbee has a stellar game against Detroit; I'm still pissed about his injury.

Call a whambulance. Oh my gosh - he was traded. Does he think he’s the first player to go through that?

I'm glad I was wrong, and I'm looking forward to seeing the improvements that our defense makes.

I remain skeptical on the D. They're talking the talk. I need to see them walk the walk now...

I think they are hoping Chris Paul Jr will step into the coverage role. He did not allow a TD in 665 coverage snaps during his final year in college.
Also, the OTA reports have been very good on Landman and Dolac, both of whom are regarded as excellent run stuffers.

It’s going to take some ...

I am really rooting for Dolac no idea why teams didn't bite on him on draft day. He lead the nation in Tackles. had 5.5 sacks couple ints really what is there not to like? Am I missing something why because he went to U of Buff so what - so did a possible HOFer OLB Klihil Mack. Jerry Rice went to ...

Did Goff roll out on a broken play, head toward the sideline to assumably step out of bounds and then decide to throw the ball away back into the field of play and get picked all while inside the 20 ready for a Rams score? Did that play happen? Was it a playoff game?
