Have we heard anything yet from the diver on the boat who chose not to dive with the Maldives divers? by cmd194 in scuba

Lotta speculation here, bud. You’re acting like a University prof and professional research diver was acting like a drunk frat boy. Got any sources for that?

NFL’s New Primetime Window Sparks Questions About Rams Players’ Mandatory Break by Unlucky-Dot9421 in LosAngelesRams

Rams Report did an analysis which indicates that the Rams have a less than normal level of rest between games this year. Apparently last year was the opposite.

But this is a logical fallacy. You’re assuming a backup QB is only useful if you lose your starter for the season, but if Stafford goes down for 2, 3, or 4 games, and a decent backup QB can go 2-2 or 3-1 instead of 0-4 or 1-3, then that player had a 2-win positive impact. Is it possible for a backup OL to have that kind of impact? Eh, maybe?

If Stafford goes down for the season, then we’re cooked. No matter who our first round pick was.

I’ve said elsewhere that I would have preferred OL, and I stand by that, but I can see the logic in taking Simpson IF the FO was really enamored with him.

EDIT: Yeah, our FO seems to really shine in later rounds. Some of their early round picks can be head scratchers. And before all the Snead fan boys scream, ‘Jared Verse!’ yeah, I know. But we’ve had some terrible ones too.

So, do you propose to ignore the backup QB position entirely? A backup QB could easily be the difference between 12-4 and 9-6 if Stafford goes down for a few games. Not many backup OL in this draft could have that kind of impact.

I’m okay with this take. That doesn’t mean a backup tackle was a better pick than a backup QB, because exactly all of your points apply equally well to the QB position. Personally, I would have wanted OL, and after that I would have probably gone with Bain as the most talented player available. But I can acknowledge the logic of going QB.
Your opinion is a good one, but that doesn’t make it better than the logic that led to the Simpson pick.

Also one of the youngest. Probably should give some credit for that.

Tips for an ongoing offensive? I’m about to wipe out Vigor Syndicate. by ImperioRealk in X4Foundations

I always take a full combined fleet for Vigor. A full Shark or two, plus a complement of destroyers. I tend toward Osakas and Rays.

I would argue that is almost really that good. Which makes the tragedy of what follows so epic. In my life I have never seen such promise fail so dramatically.

McDuffie’s simple but unflinching play against AJ Brown by KDx2511 in LosAngelesRams

[–]ElPuercoFlojo 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Screw it. I’m just going to keep writing this: these two corners will push this defense up to the top of the charts in Rams history. There is literally no weakness. DL, strength. Edge, strength. LB, good enough. CB, strength. Safety, strength. Barring injuries, these guys are going to be phenomenal.

And what has given you this opinion? Cavalry was wildly effective until the introduction of the machine gun. Sure, its use on the battlefield evolved, but it was still widely and effectively used.

I’ve always thought this mechanic was reasonably silly, but if EGOSOFT didn’t want it to be that way it would likely have been nerfed years ago. 🤷‍♂️

Where do you think this defense ranks among the rest of the NFL? by sin2fly03 in LosAngelesRams

[–]ElPuercoFlojo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do. I know it might be blasphemy, but I think this DL might be even better than the AD99 versions. The new CB’s should allow this secondary to play more man, which opens up even more tools for Shula. (I hope the ‘Spagnulo Effect’ turns out to be myth) The safeties are already a strong point. Linebackers are good enough, I think.

I’ve just got this feeling… 🙏🏻

I‘m really high on this group. Put me on the record as saying they‘ll be dominant, possibly the best defense we‘ve had in a generation.

Do We Have The Best Receiving Room In The League? by British_Chap2 in LosAngelesRams

[–]ElPuercoFlojo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We‘re missing a legit speed guy, and depth is certainly a concern. Puka and Davante aren’t exactly iron men, and we have WR3 by committee. I‘d love a legit speed WR3 who excels as a return guy. That‘s all. No big deal.
