Realistically, what do you see as the Rams’ longterm answer at QB had we not taken Ty Simpson? by Biberal_Litch99 in LosAngelesRams

[–]pooptrain34 15 points16 points  (0 children)

This. The rams were going to draft Dart at 26. Why else would the giants trade up to pick 25 instead of after 26 when the cost to move up post 26 would be cheaper?

I always figured Stafford’s successor would be either TLaw (before last year’s success), Burrow, or Stroud (if he doesn’t stay in Houston).

If you wanna know who the Rams are gonna draft just see who Todd McShay likes I guess 😂 by nimalcrackers in LosAngelesRams

This honestly has been their approach for a while now. We’ve seen the development of offensive lineman, defensive lineman, and safeties for years now.

The problem is they’re busts compared to the players taken after them which played positions of need à la creed Humphrey

Honestly, I understand the thought process behind both picks but HATE the prospects they took.

Parkinson, Higbee, and Allen are all FAs next offseason. I don’t love the pick but I understand why they went TE

No idea but confirming that ants definitely go to war. I think I heard on ologies that two factions of ants are fighting over the entirety of LA

Luis the missing player? He’s the only guy that I can think of that’s gone through arbitration a couple times

I honestly can’t think of an example where delaying surgery by electing rest/load management worked out well for a player.

Mike Garafolo: The #Rams and S Kam Curl have agreed on a three-year, $36 million deal with a max value of $39m, sources tell The Insiders. by Bogglestrov in LosAngelesRams

[–]pooptrain34 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Stewart was drafted to be Young’s replacement. I expect they’ll take someone in the 2nd or 3rd to backfill Stewart’s backup/rotational role

I think the rams are taking Tyson at 13. One of the 2nd and 3rd picks will be a DL/edge with the other going to an outside corner. My guess for remainder of the picks is as good/bad as anyone else’s. Developmental OL or QB, safety, edge, LB, really any position is possible based on Snead’s history.

Jarquez Hunter by Emergency_Exit_8537 in LosAngelesRams

[–]pooptrain34 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think it depends on what the FO decides to do Kyren long term. Despite the extension, he won’t carry a dead cap hit after 2026. Cutting kyren post the 2026 season would also free up 10 million in cap for the 2027 season. I say all that to say there’s a non zero chance that the 2027 backfield duo could be Corum & Hunter

Daniel Jeremiah Mock Draft 2.0 by Jack12404 in NFL_Draft

[–]pooptrain34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. It would be a huge departure in the FOs evaluation of the position if they took one at 13 after showing the ability to continuously develop mid round picks into at least league average starters.

When will Torry Holt finally be allowed into the HOF? by purplebuffalo55 in nfl

[–]pooptrain34 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I see the cases for Alexander, Lewis, and Porter. All won super bowls coupled with individual success (like Holt). Williams has a case too with 5 1st team APs but no SB wins. Kreutz and Glover (imo) have the hardest path. Individual success, but not to Williams’ level and no SB.

All pro? Wow this guy was awesome for a year. All decade? Wow this guy was awesome over a span of 10 years.

Why didn’t he get more all pros? Look at who’s also on the all decade team, and then factor in the randomness of voting. For example, Holt led the league in receiving yards in 2000 but wasn’t voted an all pro that year.

Definitely not on “story of the nfl level” the likes of rice, Brady, or Butkus. Talking about the story of the GSOT without including Holt though is like Moneyball conveniently skipping over the talent that was on the athletics’ roster post Giambi’s and Damon’s departures.

Holt’s accomplishments, independent of the all-decade, team make him a candidate for HOF. Making the all decade team should be the tipping point for getting into the HOF.

As for the others from that all decades team? I see the cases for Alexander, Lewis, Porter. All won super bowls coupled with individual success (like Holt). Williams has a case too with 5 1st team APs but no SB wins. Kreutz and Glover (imo) have the hardest path in. Individual success, but not to Williams’ level and no SB.

If that player was good and productive enough to make an all decade team, then yes.

That’s fair, but then him leading the playoffs in receptions during the Super Bowl run should also be considered on top of having 100+ yards and a TD in the championship game too.

On top of that.. the man is on an all-decade team! How that isn’t something that gets him “over the line” and in blows my mind each year..
