:idea: of course you do.... lol, no in this case I happen to agree with you, Norcal, the numbers speak for themselves, top two or three record since he became the head coach, the success is undeniable and not a lot of luck like Andy Reid finding Patrick Mahomes and Howie Roseman is just Howie RosemanNorCal RF wrote: ↑April 23rd, 2025, 3:30 pm The business he is in is not an exact science. Fans continue to forget this. But since him n McVay came together the record is undeniable. 77-49 with a you know what. That is all that matters in his business. And like with McVay, if Sneed became available he would have another GM job in 2 seconds……………….
How about Von Miller for a 2 & 3 for one half of a season?Ramsfan08ny wrote: ↑April 23rd, 2025, 5:20 pm Please don't use Fiske as an example. Not unless you would be willing to trade him for a late 2nd this year, and a late 2nd next year. And nobody outside of this forum has said that they over paid for Stafford.
They've drafted 3 rookies of the year in their regime. Yea, I'd call them pretty smart.
Kupp Nacua, Kobe to name a few of their mid, to late round selections. I think they'd be included in the group of smartes people in the room.

Did that half season include any kind of memorable playoff run? If unsure, ask Mcvay if you can take a peek in his jewelry box.Slickjack wrote: ↑April 24th, 2025, 4:21 amHow about Von Miller for a 2 & 3 for one half of a season?Ramsfan08ny wrote: ↑April 23rd, 2025, 5:20 pm Please don't use Fiske as an example.

they have done a great job with the draft but their FA moves and trades not so muchSlickjack wrote: ↑April 24th, 2025, 10:21 am I am very happy with where the Rams are as an organization, but there are plenty of bad roster moves too. They trade Ernest Jones for a sixth and a few weeks later the Titans trade him for a 4th is another example. How many times have they cut Reeder and Rozenboom only to bring them back? Robert Woods and Van Jefferson, each for a 6th....
I agree that some of the contract/FA stuff has been head-scratching. But show me an organization that has nailed every aspect of roster management and salary cap. It's what makes the NFL so dang interesting. And I love that LA is willing to roll the dice (Miller, OBJ, Ramsey) rather than just sit back and be analytical and safe.ocram23 wrote: ↑April 24th, 2025, 10:35 amthey have done a great job with the draft but their FA moves and trades not so muchSlickjack wrote: ↑April 24th, 2025, 10:21 am I am very happy with where the Rams are as an organization, but there are plenty of bad roster moves too.

It made very little sense to trade Ernest Jones IV at all last year, yet even less sense to do so while getting almost nothing in return, when they should have been able to get a third-round draft pick for the guy. (Near midseason, when he had less value at the time, the Titans still received a fourth-round selection and a player from the Seahawks for Jones.)Slickjack wrote: ↑April 24th, 2025, 10:21 am

So with all the injuries the Rams began the year with (it was completely uncommon), and new faces (players and coaches) and youth (one of the League’s youngest rosters obviously)…and yet they finished the year as one of the League’s fiercest teams…you still seem to only focus on how E. Jones might have put them over the top or whatever. You realize they could have finished as one of the teams picking first in tonight’s draft had things gone as you were predicting after a handful of games.Commish wrote: ↑April 24th, 2025, 12:12 pmIt made very little sense to trade Ernest Jones IV at all last year, yet even less sense to do so while getting almost nothing in return, when they should have been able to get a third-round draft pick for the guy.

I'm darkly suspicious that the McVay/Snead regime deliberately all but gave the guy away (a swap of the Titans' sixth-round pick for the Rams' seventh-round one) as a 'parting shot' to demonstrate how little our team valued him; for some reason Sean McVay seemed to really dislike Jones, although he was the Good Guys' best ILB/MLB since London Fletcher over two decades ago.
Now that the Rams have to replace the guy during the impending NFL draft, it would be helpful for them to have the third-round choice they should have gotten for him last August... :? :x
RAM SEASON!!

No whining lol.
I agree definitely not an easy job that's for sureIdaho_Ram wrote: ↑April 24th, 2025, 11:52 amI agree that some of the contract/FA stuff has been head-scratching.

It DOES seem like they have learned some lessons along the way as well. Cooper Kupp being in Seattle right now is exhibit A. Overall - I wouldn't trade seats with just about any fan base at this point, other than maybe KC and Philly.
You will go to great lengths to make your point , but you didn't answer my question about Jones. Nevertheless, you are clearly a great fan, I respect your points above and wish nothing but the best for the organization and results for tonight.RamPower wrote: ↑April 24th, 2025, 1:24 pmNo whining lol.
It’s draft night. The last two drafts Nucua, Avila, Turner, Young, Evans, Verse, Fiske, Corum, Kinchen, Jackson, Davis, Karty, Whittington, Limmer…
How many times DOZENS of times do we need to hear about Jones? Do we even know the story? Let it go for fucks sake.
Agreed! The discussion was *only* about Ernest Jones IV being traded for almost nothing by the McVay/Snead regime, something which I strongly suspect was based on personality conflict rather than 'the good of the team,' as Sean McVay claimed at the time.
