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

Hindsight is 20/20 but I would have liked to see the Panthers trade several draft picks for Joe Thomas in 2015. We would have won the SB that year TBH. Doesn't help that with the power of hindsight, our drafts after the SB really sucked.

I think if you are close you trade those picks like Rams did with Von Miller. A rookie isn't helping you as much as him.

Not a fan of the all in one one season approach.  Injury can easily squash any season.

then you are left in a mess for years and talking about what if the injury bug didn’t get us. 

I mean there is a reason McVay is looking to get out of town.  Winning in the near future is going to be really hard.

I said it then and I said it now but we had posters thinking it was outrageous to do so, once you have the most Important position locked in(qb) the clock starts ticking, we spent too much time during cam’s prime questioning whether he was a franchise guy instead of surrounding him with what we needed to consistently compete for a chip.

i also wanted us to trade up for a wr like evans or Odell instead of settling for Benjamin

It’s one strategy. They almost got beat by a team that took the ‘suck until you’re good’ approach.

We could’ve won it in 2015 if we’d just adjusted for Von Miller.  He did what he wanted all night and Shula did nothing to help Remmers.  That, plus the uncharacteristic fumbles from Tolbert and Cam.  We win that game like 4/5 times imo.  In the words of John Fox, just a bad day to have a bad day lol.  But yeah Joe Thomas would’ve helped.  
 

Going “all in” works if you can consistently crank out quality players in the later rounds of the draft, then fill the big holes with established, reliable players like Stafford and Ramsey.  We can’t draft that well and high profile players don’t want to come here.  We just have to hope we can draft some quality guys to hang on until Rhule is gone.  Either that, or he does a lot of DMT and has a revelation with Football Jesus

My thoughts are the salary cap and our coaching staff. The Rams offensive plan in the SB had to change when OBJ was injured and it did. Our coaches wouldn't have adapted that well or nearly that quick.

The Bengals took the 'suck until you fall back assward into an elite franchise QB and the best rookie WR ever' approach. They're an awful organization and Burrow and Chase would be wise to force their way out of there at their earliest opportunity.

Very true. Arguably the worst owner in the league.

But it does show there are multiple paths. It’s the oldest path.

      Surprise! Kon looks really bad!

      Same, bro.  Yeah, it just feels it has run its course and I don’t know that we’ll ever get more value.  Plus, with the new ownership, this draft has been super encouraging, so dare I believe maybe this FO can get something to really put us over the top in return for Melo.  I’ll still be a fan of his game and try to keep up with him if we move on, but yeah, I feel it’s time to turn the page. (and side note: I felt so happy after their rookie years because I told everybody I wanted Melo and didn’t trust Ant.  And Melo clearly looked like the better player early…  I thought Ant would bust because all that stuff he said about not loving the game and just his resume to that point…  but damn, if we could go back in time.🤣🤣🤣. I love Ant’s game and at times, when he gets in the zone, he is THE BEST player in the league in my opinion.)

      Appreciate that, bro!  And I could definitely see that with Cam.  Even though he’s a little younger than me, he is also someone I admire and feel a kinship with for a lot of various reasons. Funny enough, a few years after that encounter with Steve, I went to Charlotte with one of my friends whose brothers owned a moving company at the time.  He dropped me off uptown and went to work the day with them where I would wait until he got done and then we were gonna go to the Bobcats game that night.  So I walk all through that area for hours.  After awhile, I walk back towards the arena and sit in a bench on the backside of the arena, where the practice court and player’s entrance was.  As I’m sitting there, I look up and almost think I’m seeing things - I squint and blink my eyes a couple times just to be sure, and yes…  it’s one of my childhood heroes, Muggsy Bogues walking across the crosswalk and into the arena.  I think he was coaching the Sting then, iirc.  Part of me wanted to just say, “Hey!  Muggsy!  Thank you for the inspiration and memories!  You were one of my favorite players as a kid!”  But, I just watched him walk by and into the arena and thought, “that was cool!”  I also so Miguel Cotto a couple years back while in Orlando and told my kids who it was but didn’t say anything to him.  I think somewhere in my subconscious, that encounter with Steve really made me feel like the gamble on finding out if they’re receptive to interaction just isn’t worth finding out.  At the end of the day, no matter if they’re receptive inspired us or were a hero, unless they initiate it, I likely never will…  because again, they’re humans just like us.  Not anymore unique or special, they just have a highly visible and very public job that we get to watch and in some ways participate.  So, I just appreciate it for what it is.

      Young up for Player of the Week

      By frankw · Posted

      I'm pleasantly surprised they gave it to Bryce Young over Josh Allen. Finally we're getting some respect. Now I'm just hoping the team follows this up accordingly and doesn't lay another egg.
