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!
There is work to be done and things to be learned. We are going to try to get the old look back - or something close to it. We also know there are bugs. A thread will be started to report bugs and then we can pass those onto the host.
Thank you for all the patience and support with this - hopefully this will greatly reduce the crashes and other site issues we have had lately.
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across

The one thing you have to look at in the article is that the source says Rex and Roman are not sold on EJ.Which is something I knew when they drafted him.They know they need a QB to win now and there is none in the draft that can come in and start.
Bradford would take up half out available cap space and take draft picks to obtain. If we do this it will be the only significant move we make all off season. No RB, no TE, no OL help- you know, all the things that make a QB's job easier.
Plus, while the D is talented, a few personnel changes are needed to go from the 4-3 to the 3-4, and obtaining Bradford would limit our ability to do that as well.
This is only a good idea if you honestly believe that this team was Sam Bradford away from being a legit contender, and that clearly wasn't the case. QB was the biggest problem but there were plenty of others.
First, one would think he would need to rework his contract because I can't imagine we spend draft pics for a 1 year rental.
Two, how if the holy ***** is upgrading our QB stupid on an epic level in any world or even alternate universe?
I can't get over how mind blowing this comment is. "Lets not upgrade our QB substantially because we may not be able to sign a free agent tight end". Seriously?

When I look at what the Rams had at the skill positions in 2013, I'm impressed that Bradford was able to put up the numbers he did. They just had nothing. Their go-to guy was Jared Cook for crying out loud and their run game was almost on-existent.

Because Sam Bradford is extremely high risk, and it isn't just a free agent tight end. It's a NT, a 4-5Tech DE, possibly a safety and a cornerback, a tight end, a running back, a guard, a tackle, a wide receiver AND a QB. Maybe it would be more palatable if the front office didn't dick around with the defense, but this team is farther away from competing than just a QB, and an over-priced, injury-prone one at that.
Go ahead and trade away multiple picks and put Bradford behind Glenn-Richardson-Woods-Incognio-Henderson and see if he makes it through the preseason. Not a gamble worth taking, IMO.

Well, while Stafford is an upgrade over anything on the FA market, the upgrade is not nearly worth the price.
Think of it this way: you have a Geo Metro that barely runs. You upgrade by paying $40,000 for a 2 year old Honda Accord that's been in an accident. Sure, you got a good car, but you paid for a great car and now you can't afford to pay for Internet or replace your 5 year old cell phone. And you never know when something from that accident is going to come back and bite you in the ass.
Upgrading is good. Moderate upgrades at high costs are not.
None of this makes much sense for the Rams. Yes he's expensive, but the Rams are better off with him than without him. Fisher named him the starter apparently. So he can get onto the field. And it doesn't snow much in St. Louis.

Last week, Rams coach Jeff Fisher made clear his position that Bradford is the starter, disputing a report that Bradford has received permission to seek a trade. The Rams have committed to Bradford for good reason. As the source said, subtracting Sam Bradford from the roster will only make the team’s quagmire worse.
Bradford has torn the same ACL each of the past two years, and he’s still rehabbing the new graft. Fisher said last week he hopes to re-sign Shaun Hill. Austin Davisis eligible for restricted free agency.
