100% for yes so far!

I met Joe Halahuni's parents.....in Alaska. Jealous?

I thought this would be a good idea

If nobody wanted him, it be a good indicator to stop posting stuff about him.

Sam Bradford drops back, sees Laurent Robinson in the open, and he completes the pass for a gain of 28! Oh- Wait, looks like a holding penalty is going to call this one back...(Oh wait; Barron's gone, ignore that last sentence).

Clearly, lots of people wanted him.

I can take a beating ... I'm a Rams fan.

The only thing comparable to a Rams win is a 49er loss!

exactly how i feel

I am bummed because I wanted him but I have gotten to where I really trust Devaney’ judgement…. there was a reason even if we don’t know what it was

Why are we still on this?

It’s done and over, lets move on with the team we got, which isn’t even that bad.

by Camo702 on Nov 3, 2010 7:27 PM CDT reply actions

I agree

Move on, like it or not we cannot change today’s action by the Rams

It's good to be in this position...

I’m just so glad I’m not a Vikings fan…

by RamsFan7 on Nov 3, 2010 7:45 PM CDT reply actions

Positive after today we will stop talking about Moss.

It still is a big deal though. Now lets get that Sam Bradford micd on here.

by Tevin T. Broner on Nov 3, 2010 7:52 PM CDT reply actions

That mic'd up thing that's on NFL.COM

He has a cool tie in the video

Way too risky

I don’t think the Rams have the food quality level for a superstar like Randy

Lol

Never look back...

I think it’s strong of Devany/Spags to pass on this. Shows that they don’t give in to media expectations, and care about what others think. They aren’t fans, and they shouldn’t look at things the same as fans, and thats why they have their jobs.

+1

They’ve gotten lots of criticism since the beginning but have stuck to their guns. We’ll be just fine, folks.

by kswiss on Nov 3, 2010 8:03 PM CDT up reply actions

I must be missing something

What’s the risk? You’re giving up nothing for him other than a few dollars that would otherwise go unspent.

I declare if the 2000 model Torry Holt was available, somehow we'd pass on him...

The FO and coaches must love Robinson…

I am also dumbfounded

The last time I felt this way was when

I thought we should not get sam bradford because he is too fragile. I trust that they made the right decision.

So throwed that J Smoove jumpin up couldn't even catch it

by Throw on Nov 4, 2010 12:24 AM CDT reply actions

I trust Devaney also. There's a reason why only one team put in a claim for Moss,

and that may have been only because of Britt’s injury. Other FAs after we’ve signed them have talked about being thankful and ready to take the team to another level. Today, his only statement was some BS that his agent said and I don’t think he’s really the type of player we need in here. I don’t want a freaking media circus in town just because of one guy.

by loyal2therams on Nov 4, 2010 12:32 AM CDT reply actions

voted yes, but it's time to move on

Even though his skillz are obviously wayyyyy down, I saw little risk and lots of reward.

Obviously the FO saw more risk than I did, and even less talent.

Let’s go get ’em with what we got: an army of WRs on crutches!

sigh

by Beelzebubba on Nov 4, 2010 6:29 AM CDT reply actions

My best guess is

we can or should win 4 of the last 8 games. That will finnish the season at .500 and consdiering the last few years, that is like going from a model T Ford to space travel in the course of one year.

I was in the fantasy of seeing Sam throw to an open Moss for butt loads of yards each game, but I have to accept that the FO got some inside information that the rest of us aren’t privy to. Especially since Spags is friends with Chilly, I bet that conversation took all of about 5 minutes to finnish.

Anyway…..onward and upward ^^^^^^^^^^^^^RAMS!

by OakCityRam on Nov 4, 2010 6:42 AM CDT reply actions

I said yes in the original pole

but went with no here. I agree with what others said and that we should trust Devaney and Co. They are standing their ground on some pretty tough decisions so they must have a plan and belief system.

One of the thoughts I also had is that while it would be nice to have brought him in and had him help the Rams win maybe the FO felt it wasn’t worth a half a year of having King Sam have to feed a guy throws all year just to keep him happy. Then risk having Sam lose a half a year of working with the rest of the young WR’s already in house. I’m sure he would have only been around for the rest of they year so why bother? If they have won four games with the guys they have now they will only continue to get better and I’m sure can win at least four more!

Go Rams.
