one more
I think hes a solid to a great QB with the right situation. Needs to show emotion though
add another
I really like Bulger and I hoping he can regain form this season. He is so accurate when he’s on and hopefully him and Avery can get on the same page all season long.
me too
like i said in another post today. he’s not going to blow anyone away with his Peyton Manning impression. but he’ll be fine with a better line and an offense less dependent on the pass. shit, if kerry collins can do it…
by Ryan Van Bibber on Mar 7, 2009 8:32 PM CST up reply actions
He's emotionless
That has always been his biggest drawback; he lacks the emotion to be the real leader of the offense. Jackson has to pick it up this year now that Holt & Bruce, the two true leaders of the offense, are gone.

Ha, we cant mess up that ffirst pick unless its somebody other than Smith or Curry but I think those picks after that are really going to make or break our draft. We cant just keep getting 1 player that can play in our drafts, we need to be getting continuously 3-4 guys that can play in each draft. Playoffs 09!

rams beliefs: I’d like to see a face of the franchise QB emerge at some point. I’m not a fan of Bulger. I want to see a guy I want at the position for the next ten years. Drafting QBs is risky, but sooner a later you have to make an investment in the games most important position. I’m very excited about the draft, though undecided. I’m leaning Curry in terms of preference.
I agree for face of the franchise
Next year, we could take a QB in the first, depending on our pick and the 2009 college football season. I’m going to put a 2010 mock draft together right after this year’s, but here’s a couple QBs to keep an eye on for 2009:
- Sam Bradford (Oklahoma) – pretty obvious
- Colt McCoy (Texas) – I don’t think he’ll be effective in the NFL, but he’ll have hype
- Tim Tebow (Florida) – See above
- Jevan Snead (Ole Miss) – If I had to pick a #1 QB for the 2010 draft, it would be Snead. Great arm, great size, great production with below-average receivers. He could wait a year to avoid the flood of high-profile QBs who will have to come out for this draft.
- Dan LeFevour (Central Michigan) – Very similar to Snead, meaning I really like him, but unlike Snead, he plays against weak competition. A friend of mine put me on LeFev before the season and I watched him lead the Chippewas against Georgia. They lost 17-56, but not because of LeFev; he went 23-43 for 250 yds, with 2 TDs and just 1 pick. He’s got GREAT mobility and a ton of experience. He could challenge Snead for top QB.
- Rusty Smith (Florida Atlantic) – My early bust of 2010. I’ll leave it at that for now.
- Zac Robinson (Oklahoma St.) – A lot for him to show this year without Pettigrew as a reliable target
- Kellen Lewis (Indiana) – Yet to be seen if he’ll be a QB or something else at the NFL level. Randle-El was an Indiana QB who transitioned well to another position, so maybe Lewis can do it as well.

Rams beliefs: Good teams are good because they have grounded, cohesive philosophies; most players in the NFL have generally equal talent (80% or so), so have a football philosophy and stick to it. That’s why I am excited about Devaney and Co. Receiver is the least important position in football, so draft Eugene Monroe or Jason Smith with the 1st pick (preferably Monroe, who played left tackle with Brandon Albert as left guard – so he must be daymnnn good). Bulger can still be good with protection, give Berlin a chance as the second string guy.

I found it
Check out this post. Read the first comment; you can see the conventional wisdom beginning to coalesce. Then scroll down to Tack’s comments. Notice how well-reasoned and cautious his comments are, the same way you would expect Haslett to respond if he were trying to keep his job.
The clincher? Haslett, who was named Defensive ROY for 1979, was known as “The Tackling Box” to close friends. You may be asking yourself, “Is that true or did 3k make that up?” Let me answer that with absolute clarity: does it matter? Tackle Box is Jim Haslett.

Out of curiostiy
Did you become a Ram fan after you moved to Scott AFB or were you always the one Ram fan in Tuscaloosa?
Getting two tickets to an execution is like getting two tickets to NASCAR, except you KNOW Jeff Gordon's gonna die.
Out of Curiosity reply
I became much more of a Rams fan after moving here around 6 years ago. I was a fan in T-Town primarily because of Warner, but also because my high school nickname was the Rams as well. Stupid reason I know, but I am a lifelong fan now (especially if I made it through the last couple of years).
It's amazing how something in our childhood
can affect what type of fan we are.
I have a friend (I live in the chicago suburbs) who’s two favorite teams are the cubs and the Royals and if the Royals were any good, they’d compete for his attention with the cubbies. I asked him about it and he said when he was a kid, he’d always read the boxscores of every game and just really liked the players back in the early 70’s and now it’s 35 or so years later and he’s still a Royals fan. I think he also said when he finally saw them play on tv, he really liked their uniforms and that kinda sealed the deal.
Anyway, welcome aboard TST and thanks for serving in the Air Force.

no doubt about beating the hell out of the ‘hawks and them. and yes, rivalries make sports what they are. because without the dodgers, rockies, giants, seahawks, 49ers, las vegas wranglers, victoria salmon kings and others, i’d be bored, and not like sports

Interests besides the Rams: Christianity, Old Comic Books, Antique Toys, Golf, Grandkids, Guns, Cars – I own everything from a 1966 Studebaker to a 2007 Corvette.
Rams beliefs: having been a Rams fan since 1969 (the Roman Gabriel, Deacon Jones, Merlin Olsen, Tom Mack, etc. era) I am totally shell-shocked by our performance and record the last two seasons. We’ve typically been a winning team throughout the years whether our coach was named Allen, Knox, Malavasi, Robinson, Vermeil or Martz.
I never agreed with the release of Kurt Warner. I am pleased with new coach Spagnuolo, the acquisition of Jason Brown and the retention of Atogwe and Bartell. I hate to see Holt and Pace go, but it’s past time. Torry’s knees are suspect. And, if Pace had not held out of training camp, I think he’d be much healthier and still a part of the team’s future. Over the years many Ram O-Lineman have played successfully into their late 30’s. I’m glad Greene, Bennett and Chavous are gone, but am not pleased that so many deadbeats and underachievers are still around. I don’t know how we missed the opportunity to get QB Matt Cassel, who went so cheap to KC, yet we’re somehow mysteriously talking about bringing back Gus Frerotte…?? I’d take Michael Crabtree (potential next Jerry Rice) with the 2nd draft pick and fill in OL and defenders in rounds 2-7 and/or via trade. I’ve looked at the 2009 schedule, and with a few more key acquisitions (and departures), we could possibly win 7 to 9 games. It’s more likely to be 7 wins though cause there are an awful lot of holes to fill and existing players to motivate in just one season. That many wins would make my Direct TV NFL package worthwhile.

Location: Right in between L.A. and Vegas
Employer: Former Business Owner( had to close down family business last year)
Occupation: Fisherman/Still Unemployed. Anyone hiring?
Interests Besides The Rams: My two kids (one who’s name is Jordan), Fishing, 68 Chevelle SS 396 Convertible, and coins.
Rams Beliefs: Going in the right direction, but we need to make sure we have an almost perfect draft if we wanna turn it around in 1 year. That means Curry or Crabtree at #2. Hopefully the Rams will be back in LA soon so I can start going to their games again and we can show you St.Louians how to support a team through thick and thin. Yeah yeah, we had the team before and wouldnt support them. Not true. They left because of that $%$# of an owner, God rest her soul.
Late to the Party!

Interests besides the Rams: Fantasy Football, Speedway (dirt-bike racing!), Poker, Cooking
Rams beliefs: Trust in Billy D and Spags. Give them time! It’s all well and good us fellow fans saying this and that about personnel but Devaney does it as his job. He’s replacing the former fools and now we have to let him make the decisions that will benefit our franchise. It will take time

Employer: Research In Motion
Interests: Rams, Toronto Maple Leafs, Soccer, Computers
Rams Belief: I have been following the Rams for a few years now, and I am amazed by the franchise and how much it has gone through. Steven Jackson is the most exciting player to watch. Linehan was no good from the start. Love the new look to the team. Ready to start fresh with the franchise

Employer: UC Irvine (and its newspaper)
Occupation: Undergrad
Interests besides the Rams: Cards, Rams, Blues, SLU bball Missouri bball and football, Anteater Basketball, piano, movies, newspapers, fantasy sports, this is really too broad
Rams beliefs: I don’t think anyone is not a new regime backer right now, Bulger supporter, i wish that legendary players of the franchise would retire with the franchise, i.e. Bruce, Holt, Pace. Not a big SJax fan, gets hurt too much, still hasn’t taken us deep into the playoffs, think the Rams should draft Curry or an OL guy, we have enough young WR to worry about right now
