LETS fuging GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

The Rams will not have had a first round pick for almost a decade by the time they get their next one, and they seem to be doing OK for themselves.

They also had a bunch of money to splurge in one of their free agencies under McVay and the most draft capital that went into any one player was two firsts and not three firsts + a bunch of other stuff for one Player but hey yeah I like making comparisons without having all the facts.

Ask him how many SB's have the Rams won in the last decade using that strategy.

and to be fair I said 

"My friend texted me about thirty minutes ago that trade talks featuring Russell Wilson were getting hot and heavy, and that the Saints were certainly in the mix to push to get him. Bears also thoroughly in the mix. "

Think the Saints bowed out and signed Jameis (hence why it took a bit longer to sign him mixed with the Brees retirement).

Bears definitely ended up being in the mix as the Bears GM sat down at dinner with the Seahawks GM to discuss it, that is about as hot and heavy as it gets. 

Except theirs zero source of the Saints being hot and heavy for Wilson. And before they signed Winston they already gave Taysom a new contract. The only team from the get go who were in serous conversation were the bears and that was common knowledge way before your “source” said anything.

That is unfair.  It is hard to win a Super Bowl.  The most you can hope for is to consistently make the playoffs, which the Rams have.  After that unless you are Tom Brady, it is just difficult to win a Super Bowl.

Deshaun Watson is 25 years.  Unless we treated him as poorly as the Texans, that would mean we probably have at least 10 years to build around him.  If we can't do that then what difference is it if we don't get him?  A good FO would know how to work with an elite QB who, after the TV deal kicks in and other QBs sign huge deals, will be relatively cheap.

The Rams have traded away 8 first round picks since 2016... 

That FA you spoke of was in 2016 and they havent been able to spend poo since in an offseason.

Keep telling yourself that.  The goal is the bowl...rinse and repeat.

Okay but your logic is still asinine.  There are teams that have a high 1st round pick every year and don't win.  Does that also mean high 1st round picks don't matter?

It goes both ways.  There are multiple ways to build a team.  Look at how well the Saints have drafted and yet they haven't made it back to the Super Bowl.  Ish happens.  Judging if something is a success strictly off if the team won a Super Bowl is horrendous logic.

Weren't we already?

 

He's entertaining in that the idiotic poo he spews is so hilariously inaccurate and bad. He really hasn't done anything ban worthy in this board. 

I'm 100% okay with letting him keep having awful takes that get proven wrong.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
