Alexander to wear #84

The St. Louis Rams newest receiver, Danario Alexander, will wear the number 84. 

Hopefully, the number brings a little more for him than its previous owner, Randy McMichael. TE Ernie Conwell also had that number during the Greatest Show days, until Shaun McDonald took it in 2003, after Conwell's departure. Other notable names to wear the number include WR Aaon Cox, one of the Rams first round picks in 1988 who never really panned out during his six seasons in the league. Jack Snow wore that number for his entire career with the Rams, from 1965 through 1975.

"Mucho Danario"

Will be his nickname

Over at RockMNation, people liked to call him "Domino Axelrod."

I was never really a fan of that name. I just like to call him Danario, no last name necessary. Mucho Danario sounds good too, though.

And for the record, it is pronounced “Duh-Nair (as in hair) E-O.” Some people like to say “Duh-Nar (like bar) E-O.”

+1 for SuperNario!

I am a proud member of RMN but never liked “Domino Axelrod”, just doesn’t have any kind of ring to it at all imho.

so again my vote is SuperNario!

The man becomes Superman once he gets that ball in his hands, always leaves defenders in the dust. Sorry but i put “Mucho Danario” right next to “Domino Axelrod”… just doesn’t sound right at all. Lets put a poll up and let everyone weigh in on the matter.

pretty excited to see him play

people keep saying he’s not a #1, but he’s as close to one as we’ll get, purely potential-wise… only reason he wasn’t drafted was because of injuries…

Good signing.

I’m pumped to see him play. Give him some time to learn the play book and get coached up, I think he could be the #1 reciever on the team.

#1? Probably not this year.

He missed a lot of time in camp, he’s still coming back from injury. He’ll probably wind up fifth or sixth on the depth chart. I think he’s good enough to make the team, but he won’t be ready to go first day and really contribute. I could see him starting to make a difference sometime in the second half of the season, though, perhaps even earlier.

he will need some time

I actually feel bad for him coming in with 13 days left until roster cuts. That is alot of pressure for a player let alone a rookie. I agree with stopspe. We will see little of him until later in the season. He has the work ethic and mindset to catch up quick but he isn’t superhuman
