If Mariota falls to 10 the Rams have struck Gold

[Smed55]

Sam and Murray were college roommates. There's no way 2 guys who lived together go to the same team in the same week without at least having a conversation.

Ya, I know that they had a conversation, that "did" come out, but Sammie is not the reason he went to Philly as Coug seems to think!

 

[27mtrcougar]

I really thought your love for Sammie would subside at least a little after the trade, but I was wrong!

Like I thought you would see his percieved talent around the NFL after we were given Foles and a second rd pick, and a 1st rd offer from the Browns, but I was wrong!

I think he certainly help recruit him as sam himself said.

Well we really have no clue, no one is ever honest with media anyway. Obviously the money had to be there but Sam may have helped get the ball rolling.

 

[Smed55]

Well I 'did' hear him talk about it. I didn't hear his presser but not only did I hear Murray talk about Sam being a reason for him joining the Eagles, I heard Chip talk about that being a reason they were able to land him.

Then again, if you didn't hear it yourself, you can assume anything you want.

Well I'll tell you what, you and Coug can have the Eagles be your favorite team or back up favorite team, I really don't care, you can say all you want about how great he is, but he stunk and NEVER did anything positive for the Rams, you both can keep believing that every team in the NfL that needs a QB would take him in a heart beat, you can keep saying he has all this talent, maybe someday he will actually prove it!
You guys stay strong with the love, someday it just might happen for you and Sammie!

Hey I will say, " maybe" he had small part in it, but it's not the reason as Coug suggested in the beginning, he said Murray went to the Eagles because of Sammie! Hell we don't even know if Sammie will be their starting QB, so to say he came their because he wanted to play with Sammie is very questionable!

 

[mutigers1fan]

Maybe Murray is stupid, he did earn himself the nickname "spray tan" after all.

 

[Smed55]

Oh now we are backing down from the because of Sammie, to he "helped" I will give you that!

 

[Smed55]

Murray is a Good RB, but McCoy is better, Foles is better than Sammie, makes you wonder if Chip isn't the stupid one?

Rams have struggled for years and now finally seem to be going in right direction, "because" of getting rid of Sammie. Chip has had two decent years and now he is blowing up the team, the Rams only wish they could have had 2 years like Chip just had. Maybe he has some mad scientist master plan, but this seems insane, to have a good team with good players and get rid of so many good ones to pick up question marks?

Stupidity isn't reserved for the few, many can be stupid.

That's uncalled for!

I only spoke of what I saw and you start talking all this love garbage.

And I only spoke of what I see with only you and Coug!, although Coug has it bad!

Easy Vita, I didn't mean it as "in love" like Coug is with Sammies unlimited talent and potential. It just seems that you have taken Coug under your wing, because so many people in here see Sammie differently than Coug does! As a cancer that was holding us back, the Rams finally got it, Coug never will

Nothing to do about love man. It's the way the NFL views his talent. I don't know how much more proof you need lol. If I told you his value like I did a year ago you just say it's my blind love for him wth. Now NFL teams have made it perfectly clear how they view him (not Foles btw) and you still say it's about my love. Do you really think the Browns and Eagles are the only teams that would want him. That makes no sense. I'm not even saying they are right but it's how they see his talent around the leauge clearly. Find me an nfl team that has said he doesnt have talent

 

[bluepigpen]

Talent, expectations, status, draft number, college career and rookie season, this can all be looked at with Sam Bradford but the reality is, he has be a "bust with the Rams". Many can look at all those things thinking he can achieve his potential with us and he may but the reality is, he didn't as a Ram. I was tired of hearing well his rehab is looking good, boy he looks on schedule, with this offense and new OC he will shine, just one more year, PLEASE! I don't know if Foles is better, I don't know if the Rams will win, I don't know if Sammy will have a great finishing career and win 5 Super Bowls, all I know is how can the Rams pay this guy another 13 million but what he has given? As a fan, I am glad we moved on but about 2 years to later for me.

You see, nothing you brought up in that post had anything to do with the subject matter. You were taking a shot with your 'love' comment when you said you hope it works out for me and Sammie.

I'm disappointed Smed, I thought, at the very least you would own up to it.

Good grief...

The greatest ability is avail'ability'

I can't say I was with you two years ago Blue without hindsight (Who knew he would blow out his ACL in the Panthers game ) And then rehab and the preseason ACL re-injury made the hindsight crystal clear but they couldn't move him in that scenario.

All they could have done was cut him.

By not cutting him at that point was obviously the right thing to do, now that we all see we were able to trade for a starting QB and get picks for him.

 

[Retroram52]

Retro, from what I've read, the Raiders are perfectly happy with the Franchise QB they already have! I think they will pick either White/Cooper, Carr had a decent rookie year, he just needs weapons now!

Yea Smed, I saw some of that literature as well. But I was making the point that only four teams had initial interest, and to be fair, maybe 33% of the teams had initial interest but only two were willing to actually deal. So, again, the claims that a large number of teams and associated personnel in the NFL view Sammie with talent doesn't hold a lot of water outside of some people's liking this guy.

So The Eagles and browns organizations view him as a first-round talent but you think the rest of the NFL there's this huge drop off on the way they view his talent? I find that highly unlikely.

Like he said he won't concede.

Yeah right Vita has me under his wing lol. Along with the professional scouts and coaching staff of the Eagles and Browns too I guess it makes you so mad it's just not me saying it now.. but I have NFL teams backing up what I've been saying all along. You must concede Smed
