As always, right on the cusp of real-time reality :roll2: ......PA wants to roast me over a post I wrote Saturday, October 20/2020 at 2:15 PM (Hey, I looked it up in my own Past Posts). BTW, our Los Ramos QB of the day back in October 2020 was:
Jared SmallHands,ZeroLeadership Goff....or as I call him, PA's stud QB. :P
Yeah, PA did never like it when I mocked Jared Goff's molecule of Jimmy Carter Leadership, when talking about Goff's total 100% lack of Field Generalship skills....

anyways, with Goff as our lead dog on the Rams sled, small wonder I was feeling negative back in October 2020 eh! :x

Hey ace, Pennsylvania....Knock, knock......it is now 2022 :idea2: ... and we just won the SuperBowl...
..SBLVI. :idea2:
So I am in a good mood. 8-)

Speaking of SuperBowls...
Unlike you PA....I was down in Pasadena at SBXIV....halfway up the RoseBowl at the 10 yardline... where Lawrence McCutheon threw his HB Option pass to Rod Smith to take Los Ramos 19-17 lead into the 4th Quarter over the media darling Pittsburgh Steelers. So......as historically demonstrated, over my decades of Ramdom, I DO get very gosh-darned excited when Los Ramos are involved in a SuperBowl. :idea2:

FACT: It's ONLY been 5 times in the SB for Los Ramos during the 55 seasons I've been following The Horns. :idea2: BTW, we're 2-3.....hopefully 3-3 after SBLVII next year! ;)

BTW....Did I mention I was in a good mood since my Rams won SBLVI ??? :D

Question:
What kind of guy, who alleges himself to be a Rams Fan....
wants to piss on another longtime Rams Fan's SBLVI afterglow, huh? :?2: :arrow2: :?
.....OVER A FUCKING POST FROM OCTOBER 2020, HUH? :roll2: :arrow2: :x

Answer: A guy with an agenda!!! :!2: :arrow2: :roll2:

It only took a week.....and the bullshit fucking starts flying already!!! :x :arrow2: :evil2:
Sheesh!

People are arguing about the 2018 draft? (?) They got very good value out of low round picks in that draft. Where's the problem?

I won't get into the trades. Just looking at the hit rate with the picks they did have. I see 4 solid hits in that draft, with all their picks coming in the 3rd round and after. Not counting special teamers or bodies they just had to play because of circumstances.

3 Joseph Noteboom ... in 2021 a valued back-up who started several games and played well, and if they pay him, he's the 2022 starting LOT. If the Rams don't pay him he goes somewhere else to start. It's not very common to find a starting LOT after round 2, and actually not that common in round 2 either.

4 Brian Allen...he came through in 2021, and in fact fwiw he made PFF's top 101 players list for 2021

6 Sebastian Joseph-Day ... Rams starting NT before hurt, was playing well

7 Travin Howard ... came through in 2021, a pass-coverage ILB who makes plays

Hitting on 40% in rounds 3-7 is good. A lot of teams don't have a 40% hit rate with 1st and 2nd round picks. In fact a 40% hit rate with 1st and 2nd round picks is above average drafting.

This is a team built around a handful of stars who took up all the high picks and combined take up more than half of the cap space. The way you sustain a team like that is by getting good value out of lower round picks. And they've done that. They did it in 2018 through 2020. (Don't know about 2021 yet but it looks good too). They're averaging 4 hits a draft. It's one of the reasons they were a super bowl team.

CanuckRightWinger wrote:I will start off by agreeing with safer, along with hordes of other Rams fans, that not selecting 2021 Offensive Rookie of the Year Creed Humphrey at #57 was a McSnead screw-up. :idea2:

Sheesh, I see that my recent post questioning why Wes Phillips had the talented Mr. Hopkins mired as a 4th Stringer....
which later led to my correcting a misquote from "the Ram TE Room black mark" (unsaid by me) to my stated view of "something smells fishy in Wes Phillips TE Room"...
well, clearly these little barbs can be cause for guys to dig up my old posts from years past, eh. :o :arrow2: :lol2:

Hey....if guys have idle time available to refloat old Canuckisms...
here's another gem for you from only last Spring.....IE.I do confess to making fun of Les Snead's OVERSIZED reading-glasses back during the 2021 Draft. :oops2:
Spoiler Alert: I called them Hansen Brothers Glasses (from the hockey movie SLAPSHOT). :idea2: :arrow2: :lol2:

Back to my post mortem thread on the 2018 Draft, which was posted a year or so ago....

I am a big Les Snead fan overall, calling him DonKlostermanClone often, which to my way of thinking is a big compliment...BUT,

I am not shy about pointing out Snead's past screw-ups....EG.
-Brian Quick at #33 overall :oops2:
-the Bobby Wagner Flubb that haunted us for over a decade :?
-this latest #57 fumble on Creed Humphrey.....

and yes!....the paltry yield of Les Snead's 2018 Draft.....big crop of 11 guys, yet very few 2018-21 games started by said 11 guys in total for Los Ramos.....
or break it down by snaps played (if you want to research it) by the 2018 Eleven over the 4 seasons, 2018, 2019, 2020 & 2021......and you'll see that Mr. Kroenke didn't get a huge return of his 11 investments. :idea2:

Our two top 2018 picks Joe Noteboom (#89) and Brian Allen (#111) both red-shirted in 2018 and started the 2019 Season for us....McVay's only NonPlayoff year. Guys like me blamed poor Ram OL play for missing the Playoffs. Other guys went with Gurley's knee, Zuerlien's Seattle miss, Rapp's 3&19 SF gaffes....whatever. :| I went with Whit's post 2019 Season interview with Cowherd when he said on air "it was unreasonable in 2019 to expect those two young players (Noteboom&Allen) to perform at the level of vets Saffold and Sullivan." :idea2:

Anyhoo...both Boom and Allen got IR'd about halfway thru that 2019 season...and with their other future collective injury time off/back-up status...
I'd estimate we got about 1 Full Season of games started from Noteboom's 4 Ram Roster years, and about 1.5 seasons of GS from Allen's tenure as a Ram.

After those two Top 2018 Picks you had alot of guys unproductive to Rams 2018-21 fortunes due to injury or being cut:
135 Jonathan Franklin-Myers
147 Micah Kiser
160 Obo
176 John Kelly
192 Jamil Demby
205 Travon Young
231 Travin Howard
244 Justin Lawler

Now guys will say that Obo and Travin Howard were effective role players for us this year........and I agree. 8-)
So whilst Obo and Howard's resurrection from IR and their recent flashes have been commendable.... um...
But Mr. Kroenke's investment AND LOS RAMOS COACHING EXPECTATIONS from the above assets of Obo and Howard (and all the Eleven) have been for over the past FOUR years, no? :idea2:

Finally from the outset, of course, I listed Sebastien Joseph-Day as the pick-of-the-litter for Snead's 2018 Draft, and I hope Los Ramos find a shrewd Salary Cap way to keep the Rutgers stud for 2022 and beyond.

Obviously following The Horns for all fans.....it's an emotional attachment IMO.
We all love our Rams....me included. :idea2: :arrow2: :!2:
It's a subjective decision to loyally follow a team through thick and thin.....I get that. :idea2: :arrow2: :!2:

BUT, that doesn't mean we have to 100% jettison our objectivity and the ability to ask questions when we notice inconsistencies, errors or omissions...
at least that's the way I look at it.....IE. Questioning things is NOT a vice!!! :idea2: :arrow2: :!2:

Just curious.....how much do you guys think that Joe Noteboom is worth paying as our LT of the future? Or even a more basic question.....is Joe Noteboom best qualified to be the Ram starter who protects Matthew OurFranchiseQB Stafford's blindside?
....and regarding Brian TampaHikeToNowhere! Allen.....I do not see a ProBowl Alternate calibre OC with #55.....sorry. He got pushed around in SBLVI. I hope he goes away in Free Agency and yeilds us a Comp Pick. :idea2:

As always, JMO.


My apologies. I thought that post ^^^^^^^ was a recent one. The only other post I referred to was "what Stan Kroenke was thinking".

After re-reading that, I'm not sure what you posted was said in 2019 and what was said post SB56. A smart way to format it would have been quotation marks or that dark quote cloud in the post toolbar, so folks could know what was said two years ago and what was said yesterday. But I guess that would have been too difficult.

And yes, unlike you I wasn't in Pasadena in 79. I guess I should just shut up now that I've been tangled in a fish net. Damn man...... a Lombardi in the trophy case and we have this shit going on? Is it really important to rehash what you said 2 years ago?

Apology accepted PA.
Thanks.

I agree that feuding about the 2018 Rams Draft DURING A SUPERBOWL AFTERGLOW... is pretty friggin nuts!

....but then I am not the one who resurrected my old thread on the 2018 Draft, nor was I the guy who recently resurrected R4L's unfortunate rant from last November's skid, which IIRC, we all forgave and forgot.....and chalked it up to just a momentary overdose of passion. 8-) R4L is a fine poster and certainly didn't need that thread brought up now.....
Weird that it ever even found the light of day again. :?

We are all uber passionate Rams fans and we are all also wired differently....so some small bumps in the road can occur. No biggee IMO.

Paraphrasing an old Three Dog Night line.....maybe some of us uber passionate types, myself included... should 'try a little tolerance.' ;)

PREDICTION: One year at SoFi Pennsylvania, we will share a RollingRock beer....or maybe a Molson's eh! ;) :arrow2: 8-)

In other news....I have started my 2022 Draftnik site gazing.....
we are not going to be able to repeat in SBLVII y'know, if we don't hit on all those 6th Round Draft picks Snead is amassing!!! :lol2:
