fat greasy puto posted:all this scoffing at people who say they'd play in the league for $90k is silly because anyone itt given a call from an nfl team would go play in a heartbeat Well yeah because it's good money and there is no way in hell they would actually put me in a real game. Not even pre-season.

Sweeney Tom posted:Rams get Kenny Britt. 1 yr $1.4 mil, max value of $2.9 mil, $550k guaranteed Pretty good signing by the Rams. If he works out, great. If he doesn't, that's not much of a loss. Hope this doesn't stop them from drafting a WR, though.

Yeah sorry I'd like to actually use that money on something other than hospital bills and then be able to remember what money is and can be used for

I would go play. It would look like that Peyton gif where the ball is snapped to his hands, he looks right, then curls up in a ball on the ground immediately.

Quest For Glory II posted:It probably will. The Rams have drafted 6 receivers in the last 3 drafts, 5 of those 6 in the first four rounds. Tavon Austin was their 1st round pick last year, and Brian Quick was their 2nd round pick in 2012. They just can't keep missing over and over. And to some extent they need to let their guys attempt to develop. 2011 shouldn't really count since it was under the previous regime. They really need a solid #1 receiver, and unfortunately it's not going to be any of the guys they drafted. There's a chance that Kenny Britt might just finally be that guy, but it would be a shame to pass up a selection from such a deep pool of WRs in this year's draft. 2011 #78 Austin Pets #112 Greg Salas 2012 #33 Brian Quick #96 Chris Givens 2013 #8 Tavon Austin #92 Stedman Bailey

Also if you've been missing you kind of have to keep trying, it's not like you can run an offense without receivers. Now they might need to allow time for a position that typically requires a couple of years to show value develop, but the idea of not spending picks on something because it hasn't worked out in the past seems dumb to me. Even though I made more than my share of jokes about the Chiefs drafting defensive linemen.

If the Skins get Jackson it'd mean they got two receivers and a QB with 4 less 1st round picks. Jeff Fisher is such a putz.

Well when you're the Rams and you're fleecing dumb teams for their high picks, you can afford to just poo poo out picks on receivers and see what sticks.

Quest For Glory II posted:The idea of giving up on receivers that you just drafted seems dumber to me. Historically receivers do not just go nuts in their first season unless they're unbelievable talent like AJ Green or Calvin Johnson. Just look at Michael Floyd's leap from season 1 to season 2. The Keenan Allens of the world are outliers. I think we're saying the same thing in that case, when you said missing I figured you were saying those guys weren't going to amount to anything. Yeah if the argument is they need to give those guys time and address something else I agree. Also they need to replace their OC to help everything, but I guess that's asking too much.

It's great to see how much the Raiders have changed in just one month. I am growing cautiously optimistic about the next season. EDIT: Granted last season was pretty hopeless. Ostentatious fucked around with this message at 03:23 on Apr 1, 2014 |
