A big fat contract-revisited


I'm fully shocked that so many of you continue to be on the Bulger fan wagon.  I understand remaining committed to a player that has shown success, like the Rams didn't do with Kurt Warner, however Bulger has never been a real winner.  He was able to ride the greatest show on turf for a few year or so, however he has done nothing since.  His ability to lead and his desire to not lose, isn't there.  Let him go while we can actually recoup some of his salary.  Spag is retooling the defense, now it's time to retool the offense as well.  Jackson will never be as effective as Brian Westbrook (like the offense is designed) if nobody in the league respects the quarterback leading that team.  A big fat contract is what was signed and squat is what we've gotten in return.  Kind of like Bernie Maloff, we keep investing in him and he keeps taking from us.   For those of you that think I'm a rookie here, your nut's. I've been following the Rams for 40 years and was a season tik. holder in LA for many years. Getting something for Bulger now is a lot better than getting nothing later.

RamFan, Joel

Poison Pill contract

SJ39s contract was incentive filled. Meaning he only gets paid so much if he performs so well. I cannot remember the exact details, but I recall it voids out a couple of years if he does not his benchmarks.

If I could apply a sticky

this’d be a place to use it. Thanks Tackle Box!

Lived in LA during the Rams and Raiders days. Now based in NorCal, I am still a die hard Rams fan and Raiders season ticket holder.

it's referring to the stltoday.com forums i do believe

if a topic is “sticky” it stays at the top of the page no matter what.

it's a yellow piece of paper

that helps you to remember, and then take it off and recycle it.

There are too many good posts deleted already on TST

We seem to have a shrinking group of posters and commenters split about 50/50 in opinion – not much new blood. The fact are: very few people giva crap about the winless STL Rams. Pretty soon the TST wizards with the awesome power to delete things on this website are gonna find they don’t have anything left to delete.

Stop already.

I’ve deleted 3 Fan Posts.

One was an All-Caps vomit fest that did absolutely nothing. The second was yours that was bitching about me deleting the All-Caps vomit fest. The third is the prequel to this one.

Stop being so damn dramatic.

Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.

you should try deleting some of your own stuff, or

the crap that 2/3’s of the TST contributors ignore from that high school kid in STL who predicts the Rams will win every week, and then has an excuse when they don’t…

you should try being intelligent and arguing a point

it greatly helps a discussion. instead of name calling and chest beating, refuting points and having discussion works well.

guess what?

we’re weeding out people and fanposts that add nothing to the discussion. anybody in the entire world can go on a rant about how pissed they are about the rams, their play this season, past drafts, the coaching, etc but it takes a little bit of knowledge to actually have intelligent discussion.

look, if we wanted to know how bad the rams sucked, we’d ask. frankly, i think the play of the team speaks for itself. we know the rams have gaping holes and are possibly the worst team in the nfl. we know they have misfired on several draft picks of late. but to dwell on those things is simply silly. we all know the team sucks, and we don’t need to be constantly reminded of it with rants about the same thing over and over that have little basis in intelligent thinking and all the basis in chest-beating, pissed off football fans.

instead, we discuss how the team is getting better in certain aspects of the game. we discuss what failed in the game and what needs to get better. but what we don’t do is beat our chests over and over and bring up topics that aren’t relevant to today’s rams. you can bitch and moan all you want about draft picks and how the team played like shit, but back it up with facts and intelligent thoughts about how it can get better. that’s all we try to accomplish.

Wow

I am not sure why anyone would be upset with his take or for that matter a new oppinion ot the mix. It would seem to better for anyone ot enhance their views from someone who has been a fan for 40 years and just reflecting his oppinion, but who know and who cares.

It's not a new opinion.

And what does 40 years have to do with anything?

In 40 years of fanhood...

…sometimes one learns a thing or two about football. Maybe you’ll understand in a few decades.

Age ≠ Intelligence

Sorry to disappoint.

No, it doesn't...

…but years of experience do help increase knowledge and wisdom. Also, being able to earn a BS degree in Nuclear Engineering, acquire a professional engineering license, and practice successfully for over 25 years indicates the probability of mild intellect. What do you do for a living…?

wow that's impressive!

it sure doesn’t show though…

What does being a Nuclear engineer have to do with football?

My IQ says I’m a genius so I must be a genius with everything having to do with football as well.

fyi. I was making a rebuttal to Tackle-Mouth

I believe one needs some smarts and experience to know anything about football. One without the other is not enough. That’s why some tremendous football stars fail miserably as coaches. Although I too have scored very high on IQ tests before, I doubt their value and significance, unless one wants to join Mensa. It’s real accomplishments that count. Some of the biggest slugs I’ve known were supposedly very intelligent, but they just couldn’t quite finish their education, get motivated, or succeed at anything. On the other hand, some guys with an IQ around 100-110, that had a little “vision,” have been wildly successful.

by edpjr on Oct 24, 2009 7:48 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

so...

we’re supposed to all bow down to you because your IQ is in the low 100s , you work hard, and you’re over the age of 50 (therefore obviously knowing more about football than all of us)?

now it all makes sense…………………..

by stlcardinalsfang on Oct 24, 2009 7:57 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

adding to stlcardinals fang, so...

because we are not old enough to have become accomplished engineers, we cannot know as much about football as you?

Oh heck no. Read my post again...

“On the other hand, some guys with an IQ around 100-110, that had a little "vision," have been wildly successful.” But for what it’s worth, let me correct that my last IQ test was actually more like a Peyton Manning or Tom Brady’s QB rating. :-)

I'm the former head coach of the St. Louis Rams and New Orleans Saints

and current head coach of the Florida Tuskers. I thought we’ve been over this….

Yes I've been around for far less than 40 years

and I probably know as much or more than the 40 year fans here

Okay

I have not really ever seen you say anything but about how how bad the Rams are in a pessimistic, not looking at the future at all kind of way.

Everyone has their opinions and aren’t going to change their opinions easily, and I for the most part, disagree with your opinions, so I can see how you think I don’t know much about football because my viewpoints are usually different than yours.

Does anyone think

with some healthy receivers any a new guy no defense knows yet we might finally open up the playbook and get SJax a chance to run?

Well

With Avery back and supposedly healthy and a new healthy receiver that no defense has seen to this point I wonder If the OC might try to throw a little more downfield to loosen up the 9 in the box defenses it seens like were trying to run against. I realize
Bulger hasn’t had much time with him but if the system languge is so much the same
maybe we could suprise the Colts early with some downfield throws early to back ’em up

by johnniewarthawg on Oct 24, 2009 4:14 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

you got a high enough IQ to ask these questions?

yes, i do think The Rams have to pressure the DBs w/ the WR & the TE to open the game up for SJax, but what they really need to do is control the ball and chew up the clock. that is the only way they can keep the game close.

really?

Theirs a lot of great players who know alot about football that have Low IQ’s and are criminals and thugs off the street. I consider my self neither intelligent or knows a lot about football i just enjoy watching and (used to) playing.
