What did I ever do to St. Louis?

[Tank]

my expectations were tempered because they haven't been a good team for awhile, but wow, what a letdown last night. the offense just never seemed to make any adjustments, and they looked horrible all night long.

keenum is a short-term solution until they feel goff is ready to go. hopefully, that transition won't take too long to get here. 

fisher will stay the season just to make sure the transition is smooth, but i can't imagine he's anywhere near this football team once the season ends.

here's hoping for better results on sunday against the seahawks. LOL.

[Angel Oracle]

Shouldn't Goff be taking infinity snaps right behind the center in practice?   How long does it take to master it?

Case "Williamsport Willits Arm" Keenam and Pace Mannion ain't the answer!

How the heck did Keenam rack up so many passing yards for Houston in college?

[Homebrewer]

The CUBS will be celebrating with champagne at Busch Stadium, in ST Louis, when they clinch there this week.

So there's that.

How fitting.

Oh...and St Louis is a dump, so there's that too.

Drafting goff could set the franchise back 5 years or more if he's not a superstar. It's not looking good. I never understood why goff was the given over wentz in their eyes. 

[Angel Oracle]

The only downside to Wentz is the concussion concern, after having one in college.

[VariousCrap]

The reality is, you don't trade away that many picks to get the #1 pick and then not play the guy you drafted.  You have to sink or swim with him.  Even more so because Keenum is a joke.

Goff can't take a snap from under center.  He didn't do it in high school and he didn't do it in college.  They say he looks like a baby deer on ice when he's under center.  Gurley would be ineffective if used in the pistol or shotgun.  So what weapon do you disarm?  And the OL schemes sucked big time.

If this is true, why the hell did they draft him???  They could have drafted anyone.  The were able to research everything, so did they choose Goff?

Hell if I know. Maybe they thought he would make progress like a high school freshman quarterback does taking snaps in the 5 months since the draft. I also heard that they wanted to make a big splash (where have we heard that before?!) upon their return to LA

Yeah, the big splash.

The Rams have sold 80,000 seats to all seven home games.  Do you think there would have been less if they didn't draft Jared Fucking Goff?

This Big Splash stuff is incredible.  If the Rams would have drafted, say, Troy Aikman out of UCLA this year; or traded for the current Aaron Rodgers - that's a big splash.

Jared Goff from Cal was in now way a big splash.

People running these teams are imbeciles.

[Angel Oracle]

Maybe it's time to get a new GM and coaching staff?

This one hasn't gotten the team to .500 but once in the past 4 years.

Time to go in a different direction

I agree. 

My buddy in San Diego and I have laughs at the Charger's expense all the time.  The recipe for running a successful franchise is out.  Hell, the blueprint is practically given away.  Whenever we're tailgating, we always say how we could do a better job running a front office.  I think we could actually do better than the Spanos org

[VariousCrap]

At this point, the Rams need to just let Goff learn on the job.  He can't do worse than what we saw this past Monday.  There is something they saw in him and they need to let him find it in himself.

[Angel Oracle]

Let Goff learn on the job.   Bradshaw, Montana, Plunkett, Rothlisberger, Brady, Newton, Carr, Winston, etc. all learned on the job.

This is stupid making Goff 3rd string.   Yet another reason to clean out the coaching staff.

Did you guys watch the frigging preseason?  Goff sucked!  Two fumbles and two Ints in very limited time.  The reason they lost on Monday night wasn't because Goff was in street clothes.

I believe a guy named Andrew Luck has had a pretty decent career as a first overall picking starting in the NFL right away as well.

Again, I would get him not starting if we had a Favre/Rodgers situation. But our other QB's are horrific. And it's not because of our offensive game plan.

Uh, about that:

You're on another planet if you think Luck and Goff are remotely similar

I guess the good news is I have Seattle in my fantasy league?

[Chuck]

Maybe the Rams will get a boost playing in front of their fans this Sunday.

Though they do get my Seattle Seahawks. Could be a tough home opener.

Could be?  You are being way too nice here.

The main point is Goff should be starting because our other QB's are so bad.

Unless the other QBs are substantially better suited to run this "offense"

I heard he was going to be promoted to QB2 this week and Mannion back to street clothes

bradshaw looked like he was fresh out of jr. high his rookie season. could not have looked worse. i think it would have been physically impossible for him to suck more than he did.

i was at a niners game in san fran during montana's rookie year. he was awful and the crowd booed him.

seemed to work out okay for the rams last year.   :-)

[Angel Oracle]

Thank you Tank, and yet they were able to blossom eventually.

Rob Boras might just be the WORST coaching hire in franchise history.   No offense VegasHaloFan, but his main high profile type job was at UNLV?  WTF was Jeff Fisher thinking?

[Angel Oracle]

Ditto!

At least the LA Kings are still solid.
