POST #2 PARAM, Neil039 liked this post I'm seeing a lot of speculation from these pundits that the Rams are done. Not that they think the Rams will be done. Its already happened according to some of these guys. The article that says they fell apart after a 9-7 season. They lost some key players from the Superbowl team. The thing is, its likely keeping these players was not going to make us any better. Gurley's numbers went down drastically. Cooks is another concussion from retirement. Two of the defenders we lost were not on the Superbowl team. And those two were well past their best playing days. So when you add it up, did letting those guys go make us worse? Apparently, according to some of these people. I think I will wait till the season before I proclaim we fell apart. If 9-7 means falling apart, then rebounding should mean a Superbowl team. 2 by moklerman 4 years 2 months ago Total posts: 7680 Joined: Apr 17 2015 Bakersfield, CA Hall of Fame The Mismanagement of the L.A.

I don't think any team can operate on 75% of the cap, have question marks up and down the roster and coaching staff and little depth and expect to be a 10+ win team, not to mention a SB contender. by snackdaddy 4 years 2 months ago Total posts: 9721 Joined: May 30 2015 Merced California Hall of Fame The Mismanagement of the L.A.

I don't know of anyone who foresaw the 49ers being a 13 win Superbowl team. Just like no one foresaw us going from 4 wins to 11 in McVay's first season. I remember some people claiming the Patriots were going to be on the decline because Brady was 38 years old. They went to several Superbowls since that time. How many people said the Browns were a Superbowl contender. Quite a few from what I recall. I know being a fan usually means being a homer. I guess anything could happen. But I prefer to think positive until proven otherwise. And right now, no one can prove anything. The point is, these people get as much wrong as they get right. Some of them get more wrong than right.

They're weren't on the hook for any money because of his behavior but they lost two draft picks. The Patriots traded a 5th for Josh Gordon, poster boy for NFL problems.

For instance, the Rams signed Tyler Higbee to a 4 year, 29 million dollar contract with 15 mil guaranteed. And that was BEFORE he had his breakout year and best ever for a Rams tight end (69 rec.;#6, 734 yds; #7). Consider Austin Hooper signed a 4 year 42 million dollar deal with Cleveland this offseason. Hooper's numbers? 75 receptions, 787 yards, just ahead of Higbee and right behind Kittle, Ertz, Waller and Kelce. How about a little kudos for that mismanagement team we love!!!!

If 9-7 means falling apart, then rebounding should mean a Superbowl team.Have they said the Rams are "done"? In general and with this video I think it's a fair supposition to say that the Rams are probably treading water at best this season. I don't think any team can operate on 75% of the cap, have question marks up and down the roster and coaching staff and little depth and expect to be a 10+ win team, not to mention a SB contender. by snackdaddy 4 years 2 months ago Total posts: 9721 Joined: May 30 2015 Merced California Hall of Fame The Mismanagement of the L.A. Rams- Are They Able to Rebound in 2020? POST #4 PARAM, actionjack liked this post Like I said, I will wait for the season before I make any assumptions. I don't know of anyone who foresaw the 49ers being a 13 win Superbowl team. Just like no one foresaw us going from 4 wins to 11 in McVay's first season. I remember some people claiming the Patriots were going to be on the decline because Brady was 38 years old. They went to several Superbowls since that time. How many people said the Browns were a Superbowl contender. Quite a few from what I recall. I know being a fan usually means being a homer. I guess anything could happen. But I prefer to think positive until proven otherwise. And right now, no one can prove anything. The point is, these people get as much wrong as they get right. Some of them get more wrong than right. But they keep writing because, well, what else is there to do? 2 by AvengerRam 4 years 2 months ago Total posts: 8686 Joined: Oct 03 2017 Lake Mary, Florida Hall of Fame The Mismanagement of the L.A.

Or teams sign malcontents, have problems with them and cut or release them. The Raiders traded for Antonio Brown, a 3rd and 5th round pick, signed him to the largest WR contract, then released him. They're weren't on the hook for any money because of his behavior but they lost two draft picks. The Patriots traded a 5th for Josh Gordon, poster boy for NFL problems. If he didn't play 10 games, Cleveland would have to give them a 7th round pick. He played 11 games in 2018 and by the 7th game in 2019, he was released. Sure just a 5th round pick but .......You can look over history and find a number of great players who were injured, never to be that great player again, resulting in the team losing cap space. It happens. But usually the obits aren't written until the team actually has that devastating season. Been following the horns since the Coliseum had a Roman playing there.

For instance, the Rams signed Tyler Higbee to a 4 year, 29 million dollar contract with 15 mil guaranteed. And that was BEFORE he had his breakout year and best ever for a Rams tight end (69 rec.;#6, 734 yds; #7). Consider Austin Hooper signed a 4 year 42 million dollar deal with Cleveland this offseason. Hooper's numbers? 75 receptions, 787 yards, just ahead of Higbee and right behind Kittle, Ertz, Waller and Kelce. How about a little kudos for that mismanagement team we love!!!!
