Oddsmakers favor the Rams to land Randy Moss

by Ryan Van Bibber on Nov 2, 2010 10:06 AM CDT in 2010 St. Louis Rams season

Not that it says very much about it, but sports oddsmakers give the St. Louis Rams the best chances of landing Randy Moss, recently cast away as part of the strange saga of Brad Childress. (Speaking of, anyone think Leslie Frazer won't be the head coach in Minnestoa next year?)

Oddsmakers give the Rams theee-to-one odds on landing Randy Moss, same as the Patriots. Ok, so odds in this situation aren't the best, but it is worth noting that the Rams have also considered Terrell Owens and Vincent Jackson, receivers with some issues themselves.

Cmon just do it

Just don't do it

It will screw up our team, we now have everyone pulling together to win, we do not need someone who is only looking out for himself.

Cmon just do it.

The lambs could use an expierienced wide out. He can teach the young guys something. And if he mouths up, then bench him or send him back to the raiders for a draft pick.

there is also a big difference between Childress and Spaggs

and our teams “will” to win and the Vikings feeling they are “entitled” to win. I think different teams bring out different things in players. and Spaggs has proven to me he knows how to get players emotionally all in.

They are certainly different...

.. I suppose an example of “personality handling” for spags would be Richie Incognito who was not very good at disguising his blocking after the whistle was blown.

In that light, I think you give moss the remainder of the season to keep his nose to the grindstone…if he doesnt, he is gone next year. If he can buckle down and strive to help this team win, then you can see about negotiating something.

This has to be the attitude for that guy. The Rams have a seriously bright future ahead of them and you cant let this guy’s childish temper tantrums ruin team chemistry in the coming years when the Rams are REALLY going to have a shot at the title!

yeah I agree

you don’t go in and sign him to a new contract…. gotta keep that carrot dangling and keep the power…..but you gotta give this guy a shot…. he fits our biggest glaring need well…. he’s not a wife beater, he’s not a jailbird…. he’s a diva…. that is still well worth the risk for the great potential upside

Teaching???

What is he going to teach, being a ME FIRST GUY, not a team player. WE got rid of them we do not add one back on this team.

Yeah, I think I am on board..

.. we need a WR bad… I think it is fine as long as we dont tie ourselves up monetarily with this guy for a long time.

by leadhead on Nov 2, 2010 10:17 AM CDT reply actions

I just want him here

to seriously increase our shot at the division… we deserve it after all the pains of the past 4-5 seasons.

Give us a little excitement at the very least Billy… please?

I really can’t see this affecting any of the young guys… they already know of Moss, his attitude etc… I can’t see Danny, Gibson, Gilyard or others copying his attitude… no way shape or form… they need to perform to be assured a paycheck!!!

SIGN HIM

i look at this way too...

the current group of receivers is most likely NOT the group that is going to be in place when this team is winning year after year. I.E. I don’t really see Lorent Robinson around when the Rams are very good…just sayin

Maybe Amendola and Alexander….and Avery (but he won’t be affected this season and Moss will be gone by the time he is healthy in 2011) will be around when the Rams are good. I don’t really see Danny of DX being affected by Moss’s issues though.

Danny & DX***

Danny of DX sounds like a bad rock group

by hockeyno93 on Nov 2, 2010 10:34 AM CDT up reply actions

Yes sign him asap lets finaly get some one for Sam to open things up a bit

by Rams67 on Nov 3, 2010 2:10 AM CDT up reply actions

Imagine DX on one side, Randy on the other and just to be safe we have Danny in the slot....

But wait I’ll throw in Illinois Mike at the TE and last but certainly not the least the predator himself in the back field.
And with Randy in his contract year if he decides to play, I see super bowl.

There is a HUGE difference between the Vikings locker room and the Rams' locker room.

For that reason, I think Moss will be a great fit in St. Louis. Once he gets on board, the NFL Network and ESPN won’t stop talking about the Rams. We might even get more coverage and the best announcer duo’s from FOX like everyone has been clamoring for. Brett Favre is such a primadonna, there was not enough cameras and media in Minnesota for Moss. In St. Louis, it can be all about him and I think we would be fine with that. I’m sure Sam Bradford and Steven Jackson won’t mind riding Moss’ coat tails, even though they might do all the heavy lifting, all the way into the playoffs.

Is it just me, or does Sam Bradford look like he can be one of the Jonas Brothers?
