Blackmon gives you 10 years, Bowe maybe gives you 5. Blackmon has the upside to be Megatron good, Bowe is pretty much a fringe pro bowler (very good, but not elite). Blackmon is a hell of a lot less expensive, which is critical given the Rams' need to clean out their payroll.

As for the risks... while most receivers have risk, Blackmon isn't just any receiver. Blackmon, to me, is as surefire as Megatron was years ago.

If I'm the Rams, this decision is extremely easy.

well ... i imagine if your job was on the line it wouldn't be as easy to 'not win' as it is from your recliner.

Hey, if the Rams agreed that Blackmon is the next Calvin Johnson then they will take him no matter what.
