Recapping Laurent Robinson's 2010 season

Here at TST, we have been looking at your predictions from last years list of players. Now that we gotten the scrubs out of the way, let's talk about the future all-star Laurent Robinson. Let's be honest -- who didn't think Robinson would be good after flashes of his ability in 2009? That bothersome injury against the Packers in week 3 destroyed a promising season.

In fact, look at what Van had to say about him:

Based on what little experience he had with the Rams last season, Robinson enters the 2010 season as the de facto starter. There's good reason for him being cemented into his starting spot though. Robinson has great hands, explosive speed and the ability to pick up those all precious yards after the catch. 

Not to throw Van under the bus, but many of us thought he would have a big year last season. Also, we didn't have faith in our WR's in general, so why not pick the one that could have produced the most? Hell, ESPN even convinced me to draft him . In short, we fell in love with the flashes he showed, and not the big body of work.

Honestly, he probably wasn't 100% after his injury. He stayed relatively healthy last season, but he just couldn't produce. He had many dropped balls and it just looked like he lost a step. It's easy to see why the Rams let him go, and will be interesting to see if he ever puts it back together.

But anyway, let's get to your predictions

When I first looked at this chart, I was like damn I wonder about VTramsFan. He might not be able to see the future, but apparently he didn't have any expectations of Robinson.

This is a prime example of why you shouldn't expect much from a player coming off of injury. There are players who can pull it off, but it's always good to have your expectations in check.

Here is the article where the predictions were made.

I predict Robinson will have

0 receptions
0 yards
0 TDs for the rams this year. :)

Hey the prediction is still pretty much accurate weather he went to the chargers or not.

- And here's the Rams' 2010 season in a series. Incomplete pass, 18-yard run, incomplete pass, 7-yard run, 5-yard pass, 3-yard run, sack, incomplete pass, punt. Shoot me. - 3K

Just an off the subject side note:

I can never imagine Sam having an attitude like Vic has-

Mike Vick has no idea who will be protecting his blindside this year.
"I can’t tell you that right now. Why you asking me tough questions like that? Make it easy for me. I’m ready to go home," Vick said Wednesday via Rich Hoffman of the Philadelphia Daily News,

He wasn't joking-

I read another article that indicated he’s starting to act like a spoiled child because of all his special treatment. Fancies himself as the savior for the Eagles.

by Knoxfan on Aug 18, 2011 10:59 AM CDT up reply actions  

you're right

this is a serious comment by Vick, it looks like the old Michael Vick is starting to rear it’s ugly head.

I can’t tell you guys how ridiculously happy I am that the Rams didn’t entertain those Michael Vick stories before the 2010 draft. Vick is all hype and no substance.

Are you suggesting he's not good at Football,

or that he’s truly a bad individual?

Because he’s pretty awesome at the former

by DCRamFan on Aug 18, 2011 3:25 PM CDT up reply actions  

Let's be honest

I’m not going to defend the guy, but asking another player questions about who he thinks should start over at another position is kind of baseless. He has no say in the matter, so there is no need to say “one person should start over another”.

Just so people know

these recap articles aren’t where you make your predictions for this year. Those come next week. We are just recapping some of the most interesting ones from last year.

well damnit

I’m doing it twice then.

I probably should pay more attention shouldn’t I?

I predict

80% of commenters will continue to make predictions in the recap articles
60% of those will forget to make predictions in the correct articles

Two things about me will never change. I will always root for the Rams, and I will always root against the Niners.

Damn! I was just getting ready to put up a thread-

Predict and Vote-
How many false starts will Barron pull for the Rams this year?
Then I found out it was a little late, but what the hell-we’re even predicting the phases of the Moon, so lets vote—
Should we Moon the Eagles from the stands, or should we just continue to moon our neighbors peeking in our windows?

by Knoxfan on Aug 18, 2011 12:46 PM CDT up reply actions  

You're right

1 catch
1 concussion
1 fumble returned for a TD

Laurant Robinson

The receiver who received so much hype before breaking his leg it was obnoxious, the man who fans actually thought was going to be a quality #1, the man who was the captain of the worst receiving corps in the NFL……Laurant Robinson….don’t let the door hit you in the ass on the way out. Good riddens.

Who?

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