[kstater]

Cowher or Fisher?

[FringeNC]

Here comes McDaniels as OC.

[Bewbies]

Here comes McDouche down I-70.

[Rams Fan]

Well fuck

[Rams Fan]

Fuck you Billy Devaney.

You caused this fucking shit.

[Buck]

Say hello to AJ Smith, Rams Fan.

[Reerun_KC]

As they should.. They drafted a huge bust in Bradford....

[Deberg_1990]

Would love Spags as DC

[Rams Fan]

As they should.. They drafted a huge bust in Bradford....

Seriously, fuck off.

Say hello to AJ Smith, Rams Fan.

I am going to cry now.

[Easy 6]

LOL, ****ing McDaniels angled every possible way for Matt Cassel, just had to have him some Cassel... but cant get shit outta Bradford.

Thats teh suck.

[Rams Fan]

Thats teh suck.

Teh suck is that the whole team was injured.

You cant expect a game manager to put the team on his back can you?

[Rams Fan]

You cant expect a game manager to put the team on his back can you?

Shut the fuck up.

Get your fucking facts straight.

Bradford played behind a terrible OL(one with 3 starters on IR).

[Brock]

He also had shit for receivers most of the time.

[Rams Fan]

Buck, tell me something about AJ Smith.

[Reerun_KC]

Shut the **** up.

Get your ****ing facts straight.

Bradford played behind a terrible OL(one with 3 starters on IR).

Was Bradford hurt?

Its not about facts, its your Franchise QB making players around him better...

Not leaning on them to make him a game manager...

[Baby Lee]

As they should.. They drafted a huge bust in Bradford....

You are truly TRULY an idiot. Spend your days here endlessly pimping "1st Round QB!! 1st Round QB!! Everything else sucks but 1st Round QB. Fuck it up? Try again."

Then the Rams, who actually did that, and Bradford looked to be the real deal last year, and has been hurt [along with most of the critical players around him] this year, and your response is, "they messed up the 1ST ROUND QB!!! gambit, run them out of town!!!"

[Rams Fan]

He also had shit for receivers most of the time.

Yes.

It's too early to tell how good or bad Bradford is.

His OL was hurt(it was also shit) and he had Lloyd for most of the season(not all of it).

[Rams Fan]

THANK YOU.

[Easy 6]

You cant expect a game manager to put the team on his back can you?

You dont think Bradford has the talent to be much more than a 'manager'?

[ChiefsCountry]

So Kahil or Blackmon for the Rams?

Wait Bradford was hurt? Good thing he didnt have that issue in College or anything....


What is funny is you guys flop all over the place to support your arguments...

You have to have players around a franchise QB or you have to have players around your game manager...

Which is it, You cant have it both ways... Either your Franchise QB makes your team better or your team makes your game manager...
Please stay consistant...

[Reerun_KC]

You dont think Bradford has the talent to be much more than a 'manager'?

Well its been posted here that he needs players around him for him to succeed...

And coming out of OU I really doubt he is nothing more than a game manager...

[Rams Fan]

Wait Bradford was hurt? Good thing he didnt have that issue in College or anything...

First off, stop talking out of your ass.

His shoulder HAS NOT BEEN A PROBLEM. His ankle was what was sprained.

Yes.

[Bowser]

Bradford will be just fine. Get him a line so he has longer than 1.6 seconds to read an NFL defense.

[Rams Fan]

Also give him a healthy Amendola and Jackson.

[Okie_Apparition]

Belichick loves him some McDoucheknuckle & rumor has his OC is moving on

[Easy 6]

Well its been posted here that he needs players around him for him to succeed...

And coming out of OU I really doubt he is nothing more than a game manager...

You know as well as i do that 'its been posted here' doesnt mean jack, thats just laughable.

The guy can make every single NFL throw and do it accurately, he'll bust out next year... bank on it.

[Rams Fan]

Florio is saying something different. That the decision hasn't been made yet.

[Pasta Little Brioni]

2 more turds flushed. Norv will clog the toilet.

[Buck]

Buck, tell me something about AJ Smith.

He is the Carl Peterson of his time.

[Brock]

Nobody should want AJ Smith. he's a moron.

[Rams Fan]

2 more turds flushed. Norv will clog the toilet.

Except Spags isn't a turd.

[Pasta Little Brioni]

Except Spags isn't a turd.

As a head coach, yes he is. I'm glad he's gone, so people will stop bitching about him all the time.

[Rams Fan]

As a head coach, yes he is. I'm glad he's gone, so people will stop bitching about him all the time.

2009 wasn't his fault.

He had/has a plan in place.

[Titty Meat]

Except Spags isn't a turd.

Yeah 10 wins in 3 years. STFU and GTFO faggot

[Bowser]

Nobody should want AJ Smith. he's a moron.

With an ego bigger than that of Carl Peterson, which nobody thought was possible.

[Rams Fan]

Yeah 10 wins in 3 years. STFU and GTFO pillowbitergot

First off, I know the record.

Point at it, look at it.

How ever, no one would have gone more than 1-15 with the Rams in 2009. The team was blown up in the off season by cutting vets etc.

Devaney deserves more blame than Spags for this mess. Spags worked with what he had.

[Pasta Little Brioni]

2009 wasn't his fault.

He had/has a plan in place.

Haley had a plan too. They both fell victim to the Peter Principle.

[Chiefnj2]

Giant fans are already begging for him to come back as DC.

[Rams Fan]

Haley had a plan too. They both fell victim to the Peter Principle.

Fair enough.

But no one, including Vermeil, Martz, Linehan etc came out in public and said what their plan was. The players also didn't quit on Spags, like they did for Linehan.



Devaney, OTOH, hasn't had great drafts. And I think he should lose his job for that.

[SAUTO]

Yeah 10 wins in 3 years. STFU and GTFO faggot

Hunt and Pioli came out and said they wanted continuity within the organization, but it all comes down to one thing....win or GTFO.

I think he goes to Philly as DC.

They want continuity of the worst offense in the history of the franchise? Fuck this team.

[Rams Fan]

Local media is reporting no decision has been made yet.

[splatbass]

Nobody should want AJ Smith. he's a moron.

Yeah, going 14-2 then firing the head coach and replacing him with Norv Turner had to be one of the dumbest things ever done by a GM.

[-King-]

As they should.. They drafted a huge bust in Bradford....

Why do you always put an ellipsis every time you say that? Sarcasm or?????

[mnchiefsguy]

Seems like AJ Smith's problem is not assembling talent....it is picking a coach. San Diego has been under performing for years now. They seem to always have a talented roster...but their coaching completely underwhelms.

[The Bad Guy]

Shut the **** up.

Get your ****ing facts straight.

Bradford played behind a terrible OL(one with 3 starters on IR).

Why are you arguing with Reerun? The only thing he was good at was yelling about Herm.

[Brock]

Why are you arguing with Reerun? The only thing he was good at was yelling about Herm.

and licking Haley's taint.

[Rams Fan]

Why are you arguing with Reerun? The only thing he was good at was yelling about Herm.

I am not too familiar with his posting style.

Though, I have only been paying attention to him bashing Bradford within the last month or so.

[doomy3]

Why are you arguing with Reerun? The only thing he was good at was yelling about Herm.

I've never put anyone on ignore before, but Reerun will probably be the first person I try it out on. I will fucking go crazy reading his terrible posts this entire offseason.

[Reerun_KC]

Why are you arguing with Reerun? The only thing he was good at was yelling about Herm.

Dude, stop living in the past... You are better than that...

[Reerun_KC]

I've never put anyone on ignore before, but Reerun will probably be the first person I try it out on. I will ****ing go crazy reading his terrible posts this entire offseason.

Please do... Its a great feature...

Take care

[Reerun_KC]

and licking Haley's taint.

No different than you ballwashing Cassel and Orton...

[Rams Fan]

I've never put anyone on ignore before, but Reerun will probably be the first person I try it out on. I will ****ing go crazy reading his terrible posts this entire offseason.

His passive aggressive style as well as his repetitiveness seems a bit aggravating.

[Rams Fan]

Please do... Its a great feature...

Take care

Will you use proper grammar when he does?

[Reerun_KC]

Will you use proper grammar when he does?

Doubt it.

[Rams Fan]

Doubt it.

Excellent.

[Reerun_KC]

:thumb:Excellent.

[johnny961]

Here comes McDouche down I-70.

This is what worries me. More of the same on offense.

[Titty Meat]

McDaniels would be a fine OC on the surface. It's him keep Cassel is what we should all be afraid of.

[jspchief]

Spags is a 4-3 DC

[dirk digler]

Spags is gone. no word on the GM

[ILChief]

I think Romeo prefers Orton to Cassel. maybe he will stick to his guns

[Rams Fan]

Spags is gone. no word on the GM

If Devaney stays, I'm going to fucking kill something.


Anyways, bye Spags. Rams are about to go through another rebuild. :(

[Reerun_KC]

If Devaney stays, I'm going to ****ing kill something.

I am sure Blackmon will help....

[Rams Fan]

I am sure Blackmon will help....

If Bradford has to go through his 4th system in as many years, it will not be pretty.

[Rams Fan]

Carl Peterson has been rumored to have been contacted by the Rams.

ROFL

If Fisher is hired, too, I am going to take a fucking piss on the Dome.

[Titty Meat]

I'm not a Fisher guy but I think there's something to be said when a team that has won 10 games in 3 years is a more attractive job than the Chiefs.

[Rams Fan]

Also forgot that there are rumors of Mike Sherman.

Fuck

[nychief]

Would Spags be a DC candidate for us?

[Rams Fan]

Would Spags be a DC candidate for us?

He runs a 4-3.

[Reerun_KC]

Carl Peterson has been rumored to have been contacted by the Rams.

Confirmed by the team.

No word on if McDaniels will be fired or will be retained.

He has only been here since November...

Carl would be a great hire to run the team, as long as Kroenke hires a general manager to run the football side.

THE DEAL IS DONE. Welcome to KC, McDouchnozzle.

I'm not so sure about McDaniels. Was just watching the NFL Network talking about coaching vacancies, and coordinators. They spoke that Romeo had impressed management, will speak to others but Romeo has the inside edge on the job. Then, they were talking coordinators, and mentioned that O'Brien, OC for Patriots at the leader to go to Penn St. HC. If that were the case then McDaniels might go back to New England...and if Pioli wants him he'd better act or look at other options.

[Rams Fan]

Carl would be a great hire to run the team, as long as Kroenke hires a general manager to run the football side.

The Rams have a guy like that in Kevin Demoff, he's a fucking cap genius who also is the face, per se, of the franchise.

[Pants]

:facepalm:

What are you facepalming for, douche? Are you saying that Reerun is wrong and that nobody on CP claims that it's the QB's job to carry the team and make everyone around them better and not the other way around?

[Rams Fan]

What are you facepalming for, douche? Are you saying that Reerun is wrong and that nobody on CP claims that it's the QB's job to carry the team and make everyone around them better and not the other way around?

Not that, but this:


You have to have players around a franchise QB or you have to have players around your game manager...


Even the HOF QBs had talent around them.

Montana had Rice, Craig.
Manning has had Wayne, Harrison.
Brady has guys like Gronkowski, Hernandez, Welker, etc.

Rodgers has a shit load of talent around him.

Bradford only has a RB in Jackson.

[ChiefsCountry]

The Rams have a guy like that in Kevin Demoff, he's a ****ing cap genius who also is the face, per se, of the franchise.

Peterson would run the business side and basically over-see the football side. He really isn't that bad as the rap he gets on here, basically because its he was here too long. If Peterson would have left in 2000, his legacy in Kansas City would have been different. Lot of teams in the league are modeled after his business model including the Packers.

[Baby Lee]

Funny, a plea for consistency from the guy whose cobbled opinion is;

"if you don't have a franchise QB you devote all draft resources to get the best prospect available. And if that doesn't work out. Do it again. But if it doesn't work out, the coaching staff and front office has to go. And the NEW coaching staff and front office needs to again devote all draft resources to getting the best prospect available, . . apparently knowing it cost the last regime their jobs and will likely cost them theirs as well."

Brilliant

All you know about Bradford is he's a member of the Rams and the Rams had a poor W-L record. You know nothing about how open receivers were, how sound Bradford's decision making process was, given the events that unfolded in front of him, or any number of other more incisive insights. A franchise QB can elevate the play of the team, but it can't will receivers open or will them to run correct routes. If you have evidence that Bradford was missing potential for offensive development or was making bad reads or was panicking in his decision making, present it. 'He's the QB of a bad team' is an utterly insufficient analysis.

For example, were you to pose the same challenge to me regarding Cassel, and I had access to the necessary footage, I'd have a set of 50 or so plays that Cassel utterly misread or panicked prematurely within the hour, just going off the top of my head.

[whoman69]

This is going to make it harder to trade Matt Cassel to the Rams.

[RealSNR]

IT HAS BEGUN!

Rex Ryan, who led some of the best defenses in the NFL? That's apples and oranges.

[Rams Fan]

Rex Ryan, who led some of the best defenses in the NFL? That's apples and oranges.

They had the 22nd best D in 2007(in terms of points allowed). They went 5-11.
It's rare that someone is retained by a new HC, I agree, but I wouldn't rule out McDaniels being retained.

[Quesadilla Joe]

When you miss on a first round QB heads are gonna roll. Not surprising.

No, when you go 10-38 in 3 seasons as well as having 2 wins in a season, heads are going to roll.
