What are your thoughts of the "going all in" approach that the Rams took?

Rams were in the Superbowl just a couple years ago and were still relevant. It's not like they were starting from scratch. Plus, they had solid coaching already in place, so they weren't exactly waiting for their coaches to learn that you can't lick your elbows. 

Not really the same situation. Would take a lot more for us to get there. And, thanks to the genius trades from last year, we don't have nearly the capital we'd need to make it happen....at least not without really damaging the team elsewhere.

I think they were lamenting never going all in with Cam in his prime. Going all in now would mean gunning for the #1 overall pick. 😆

Gotcha. What I get for not really reading the OP 🤣.

Then yes.... absolutely. We should have gone all in.

The Rams actaully have a good coaching staff and were a good QB away from winning it all. Not only that, but they were savvy enough to not completely destroy their future cap while trying to win it all this year. This offseason, both Gurley and Goff's contracts come off the books for LA. They also have the ability to free up a ton of cap space by extending numerous guys that are good and they are primed to make another run next season as long as Donald and McVay don't retire. 

TL:DR we are a poverty franchise run by chucklefugs and it would make no sense to "Go all in" based on our current personnel, coaching staff, and cap situation.

Um, the cupboard is kind of bare here  when it comes to draft picks to trade away, thanks to our coaching and managerial brilliance. We got Sam Darnold for our work.

That leaves trading away our handful of good players, potentially to trade for bums again. 

How about we wait this season out and see Rhule to the door before we get all fancy in our efforts?

Big question is does Tepper believe that. If he trusts Rhule then he will give him free rein to get himself out of this mess of Rhule’s making by trading picks and players. If not he forces Rhule to run with Sam and make sure he doesn’t mortgage this team’s future in the process.

If Rhule trades everything for a qb it will not help his situation.  Fans might get off his back and think said qb will solve everything. But reality is it will not help. It will just leave us in a massive cap hole paying 2 qbs not on the roster and with bare cupboards.  Said qb will demand a trade after one season.  Prepare thy anus.

      Myles Garrett Traded to Rams

      By electro's horse · Posted

      I feel like this trade just lives rent free in people's heads and keeps morphing into different things. First thing is that the rumored trade was for future firsts. They wouldn't have any extra picks in 2023; the firsts would have been for 2024 and 2025. With very few exceptions, NFL GMs don't value picks that far away. You have to have a lot of job security to pull that off. Like Chiefs, Eagles, Rams kinda stability. That's obviously not the case with David Tepper, especially since he'd just fired his head coach. No GM except for like Howie Roseman is going to trade an asset you have now for a future asset you probably get to use.  Second, at the time you'd have to assume these are first rounders late in the first round. Obviously currency is currency and the panthers need young players, but these weren't slam dunk top ten picks. At the end of the day there's one pick that separates a first and second round pick.  Lastly, the only place that ever reported this trade was the Rams. All the reporters just repeated what McVay said and it became gospel. We have no idea how serious the negotiations were, if they ever really happened, if the offer was real, etc. And I personally believe McVay and Sneed are the kind of guys who would make up rumors like that to fug up other teams, mostly because I assume if I've thought of it someone smarter than me has.  I don't know how you'd call it the greatest draft haul of all time. Firsts quickly lose their value the farther out they are and Burns had 16.5 sacks last season. And anyway those picks would probably just been tossed into the burning inferno of the Bryce trade up so it's a moot point anyway.
