All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
Can't you imagine Marv and Jimbo having dinner and Jim saying to Marv,
"you know Marv, the best way to help JP, as you remember I always had a TE to dump off too if Andre was doubled, was to look to Pete. You may want to get him a TE."

That would have to come from both Faichild and Dick.
Telling your coach how to run his offense wouldn't be the smartest thing. So far, Marv hasn't done that as a GM. We're not running the Kgun.
I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?" "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet. You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
It was all true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

Nevermind..NOt gonna dis Marv until I see what we do with the draft.
Can you even name me the tight end on the Ram Super Bowl team?
Might have been Roland Williams.
But I understand your point.
Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?
In 1999 when the Rams won the SB their main TE was Roland Williams...who only caught 6 TD passes. Name our last TE to do that. Jeff Robinson contributed 2 TDs of his own. So the greatest show on turf got 8 receiving TDs from the TE position.
In 2000 they pretty much abandoned using a TE. Then in 2001 Ernie Conwell stepped in the forefront and put up almost 40 catches.
So do you think we have a TE who can catch 40 balls in a season or 6 TD receptions right now?
This is not the year to draft a tightend, unless you draft Ben Patrick, but he will be gone when seattle picks in round 2.If he does squeek past them he won't make it past miami in the third round.

Go ahead if you must. As far as I know and as far as MArv has admitted and continues to do so, desisions are commulative . He asks his coaches for inputs. Do you have any other sources that you care to disclose?
Even guys Like Bowens was brought in because April wanted him. Who do you think is running the FO TD? He would've brought Bennie back and told McNally to make it work.
and I dont care how many collaborators he has in on decisions. at the end of the day, if your NAME is listed as the GM you are the one responsible for things.
Having said that, like I said. I'm not going to praise him or blast him just days before the draft, because to be honest I dont have the FIRST ****ing clue what this club is going to do this coming weekend.. I'm not always right, but at least I usually have an idea of how things will go down, and this year I dont have the first clue in the world.
I expect them to be very active, either via trade for Turner/Briggs- moving up on board, or moving down. I will be shocked if they stand pat with all their draft picks and though I am hopeful we get guys I'm hoping for, I'm realistically expecting to be hugely dissapointed (which equates to Pos or Hall in round one and a cornerback in round two- with offense barely getting a sniff on day one)

so you already had an opinion but deicided to hold off depending on what they do to save yourself from having to flipflop?
