Pro Football Focus Grades Rams Depth

It's hard to believe Joseph was the best option on the roster. Playing next to him hurt Barksdale's season.

This argument will always be incomplete because there is so much information we just don't have. Mainly why a coach or coaches did this or that. What we see in small flashes of something better in a few plays may not be the whole picture. And to say look what this one or that one did coming off the bench, is well reaching since most NFL players ride the pine at some point. I have to believe any coach including Fisher and Co. Puts his best players on the field at all times.

So you are saying that when the game is already won or lost, more lost in our case, that the guys that are in there NOT getting it done, should stay in there? If a QB is having a bad game, he sometimes gets pulled, same with a RB, but Olineman are exempt from that? It just seems like Fisher has his favorites and it's usually the guys with the most experience whether they are getting the job done or not! Again in a lost game, why not get some of these other guys some playing time and game experience and some game time evaluation? It only makes sense when the guys in there are NOT getting it done!

So I get a like which is self explanatory, but Ozark, getting a BS tells me nothing? Please tell me why you think that makes no sense?

I've already tried to explain it to you.

The Rams just tendered league minimum offers to RFAs Corey Harkey and Austin Davis. Apparently Davis has earned another shot at the QB position.

Ya, and your explanation makes no sense, that's why I asked someone else that maybe knows what they are talking about!

Your "only" response is that the backups suck that's why they don't play, but if that's the case they have absolutely no business being on the team, they should be released or cut, if they serve no usefulness at all, that's stupid to even keep them, replace them with someone else that can get the job done!

I was just having some fun with you Smed. I respect your opinion. While I don't always agree who does. While I see your point about testing young players with real game time play. At the same time I have to defer to the coaches making that call. Now in high school and college sure. But the NFL is a tough place to learn on the fly. Didn't mean to offend.

Bradford is not "average." He's a good player.

 

[Retroram52]

We have been hoping for that for nearly five years DJ. We shall see.

Ozark, I wasnt offended, I just thought since you threw the BS out there, that maybe you had, some counter opinions to throw my way?

I will agree coaches "should" know,but you have to admit he makes some questionable moves, or questionable non moves?

I also agree with some on here that his overall resume as a coach, really isn't all that good?

As far as Fisher goes there doesn't seem to be any middle ground. One camp sees him as a hell of a coach top 15 in the NFL. The other a middling coach who never quite got there and has let the game pass him by. I am still pondering. I do believe he knows how to build and teach. Would like to see some wins.
