whenever i think about free agents richie incoginto's name always seems to come to mind, because of the solid career he's carved out for himself, despite all of his baggage, last year pff graded him "elite" and he made the pro bowl for second time in his career, and this year pff graded him a hair below elite... even so, richie has never really been able to land a big pay day, the bills got him dirt cheap, while 22 guards were paid more than him in 2016, including saffold.

Imaging having guys wide open lol...I mean we do have a QB that can deliver that...I know what you mean tho that's why I'm hoping we pick up Alshon. Man that would be the bomb.

Quick? For every big play he has made, he's had 5 or 6 drops to off set that. I can not wait for that waste of roster space to be gone for good. These big play WR I'm talking about win the 50/50 ball more often than our guys catch wide open passes...

I don't think many receivers could be successful in the Rams scheme. Because There were very little plays beyond 5-10 yards defenders could squat on routes or load the box, wait for hits. After a while hearing footsteps becomes normal. That's why I'm suggesting the Rams with better scheme could help these guys, quick included. It seems every pass was contested and that's coaching failure. I think change in coach change in scheme actually gives a real evaluation of these guys. I'll wait and see...I don't necessarily disagree with you though.

No offense, I read your take and understand your point. Reality is the players in question on this team, especially the offense, bare a larger burden than the coaches who are now gone. The coaches didn't drop balls, run poor routes, or miss blocks continuously.

I agree the new staff will light a fire, but that personal fire to be the best was not evident for many of the "skilled positions" on offense. IMO more excuses were made for and by players than accountability. Hopefully McVay sees it that way and weeds out the "WEEDS"!

That's where I'm at so far. ;)


Are Garcon or Jackson considered better than Jeffery?

Are any of them real #1 WR at this point?

He's "criminally underrated." ;)

He will, however, be expensive.

Unlike Jack above, I tackled the wish list more like a list of players available I thought could help at positions of need. My expectation was not to add them all; compromises will be made.

As for SteakandEgg's question: I have concerns about the viability and value of Jeffery. He will seriously have to be overpaid to be lured in, and is it worth it? We already have a $15 million WR on roster ... want another?

I see the big body receiver threat Fish was after. The guy that is supposed to win the 50/50 balls. They didn't though.
It seemed obvious to me that the Rams pass catchers were sick of getting drilled in the back on their 5 yard routes when the team needed 6 for a 1st.

The whole passing game was a train wreck. It didn't put guys in a position to succeed. So if McV is capable of doing what Fish and Co. weren't then some of the guys we have might be at least serviceable.

I really have my doubts about Quick though. Sort of stiff. He looks awkward in his movement. Britt and TA, I'd keep around and see what they can do. Marquez is a good ST'er. Cooper looks like he has some promise and that flash of Spruce with his good hands was interesting,, although he might not have an NFL body.

I'd like to see Alshon finally make it here and / or adding Garcon or Jackson would not hurt.

We need DB's & OL first. Moving GRob inside seems like a no brainer at this point. Unless Boudreaux completely lost it those to T's (RS and GR) need to move / stay inside and go get us another tackle to bookend RH.

TruJo is the multi million dollar question.

In regards to Tru. I think it all comes down to budget. You would think that Tru would want to come in a play under a coach like Phillips but the $$ has to make sense for both sides. If Tru walks then we will need to target a FA to replace because we have no other real option.

4-12 with Tru and Britt, 4-12 without. Let them walk and invest money in O'line. Made wrong pick between Tru and Jackrabbit last year.
