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.

      89 on The Pivot

      By CRA · Posted

      yeah, Steve was basically like on any actual topic that approached his flaws/problems.....89 went with the long winded, try to sound like a wise man strategy of just basically just pleading the 5th (and sprinkling in the idea that others could of been wrong or wrong too).   also, in terms of the assaults and stuff like that....it feels like old 89, I feel has sort of forgotten his well-documented confessions and apologies about that aspect and era of his and was trying to re-write his story/image in hindsight.   And in all honesty, it seemed like a PR move on the twitter/cheating stuff also attempting to play himself as not the bad guy some think with the intentional vague suggestions. and the Pivot and all these athlete moves to basically take the reigns and power from traditional outlets exposes they have just as bad as flaws if not more often than the traditional media folks.  I mean I do like the free form long talk when dudes are telling stories but all this stuff is largely flawed and controlled PR often.

      Surprise! Kon looks really bad!

      Sadly, I agree and I’m a huge Melo fan. Might be time to ship him out. Don’t want to make the same mistakes the Pels did. They should’ve gotten rid of Zion two years ago.

      I forgot he was on the team and I'm pulling for him, but the statistics are not in his favor.  Some guys can recover from injuries and others cannot and let's hope Brooks is the former.  He was a beast in high school and college.
