Like Goff into the Rams offense? I would of much rather had the 2 first round picks at this point.

For sure at this point Goff looks bad, but the offense outside of RB is p poo poo for Stl right?

Plus McVay turned Cousins into a decent QB, maybe he can work his magic on Goff.

Just thimk, if you hadn't traded up for Goff, the Browns would have drafted him and Wentz would have fallen probably to Philly without the trade.

I feel like the Rams should have used last year as a rebuild year, kept the draft picks to fill out other roster needs, then go for a FA QB this year like Romo. Of course, Jeff Fisher ~faaaaart~ and NEW CITY kind of ruined them.

The Rams are hosed this year too, they will have 40 million in cap space, but no first round pick and they will probably use most of that space re-signing Trumaine Johnson, TJ MacDonald and Kenny loving Britt

Goff would have been absolutely perfect for Chip's wild ride, too. Stupid Rams ruin everything (though especially the Rams).

Goff is such a weird black box at this moment. Air Raid QBs have a rough track record in the NFL, but at the same time Goff had nothing to work with last year and was basically thrown to the wolves.

Maybe a real coaching staff and a scheme not stuck in the 1970s can help him turn around (along with WRs worth a poo poo), but the tape he put on last year was not very encouraging. I mean, his rookie stats were on par with Leaf and JaMarcus, so it's gonna take a lot of work for him to wipe away those comparisons.

otoh, he had a (comparatively) rough first year at Cal, and got better every year as he learned the system & the team around him improved. I think he'll be fine with the new, offensive minded head coach. Just wish it wasn't for the Rams.

I don't know that. I thought he looked better his junior year than his senior year at Cal.

Russell Okung is a FA again. Given what our OTs did last year I'd be totally fine bringing him back.

I would be too if he is willing to sign for cheap. He's not the elite LT that he thinks he is and doesn't deserve the type of salary he expects. He's good, not great but better than what we got. I just don't see him coming back to Seattle with his tail between his legs so to speak when he can probably get the same pedestrian offer from most teams in the league that aren't the seahawks.

He'll be good for the second half of the season then get traded to another team or released, allowing Tom to start the cycle anew.

Okung and Giacomini are free agents. I wonder what it would be like to have NFL talent at both tackle positions again?

For ~10 games with Okung, but it would still own.

I can't see the Seahawks bringing him back. Maybe if he converted to TE, then back to a Tackle to trick Cable into insisting on him.

The Rams logo in their Twitter handle is blue and white so maybe they will. I like the idea since I've always associated blue and white with LA (Dodgers, natch).

Didn't they use blue and white throwbacks sometime last year? I imagine they'll look like that. Can't imagine them sticking with yellow if they change the helmet.

What a weird way to put that. That's the sort of cliche you use in retrospect, like "he grew so much more than anyone thought was possible". This way it's like he's predicting that the guy will fail and still suck.

For real? drat. Well, I guess 51 years is a good run. Shame the Pats had to be the last ever Super Bowl champs though.

That's not bad. Nice and clean. I was worried they'd keep the shoulder stripe and it would look too close to the colts but they made the whole shoulder blue and made the stripe gold, that's nice. Kind of looks like a uniform Navy would wear.

I still wish they went back to the blue/yellow, but the old-school white/blue is a classy style that still holds up today, so it's fine. At least they stopped emphasizing the gold, which always looked like an awkward fit next to the traditional Rams colors.
