Creativity. He wouldn't know what that was if it came up and bit him in the ass.

The Rams defense is not that good, they have no runningbacks and their offensive coordinator is a moron. They have now been blown out a combined 65-18 in their last two games. Dat Jeff Fisher may be on the hot seat.

His point isn't them having a long week.... it's them having a long week AND the Broncos having a short week.

I'd be all for firing Jeff Fisher. He's brought some pretty bad coordinators together too.

he brought in Olgetree, Jenkins, Brockers, McDonald and McLeod the past 2 years, he has been building a great defense, they are young but they are talented to go along with Finnegan, Long, Quinn, Laurinaitis and Witherspoon.. They also have the Redskins first rd pick next year, as of now they are loving this.. the Rams clearly need an RB.. and with 2 first rounds picks next year they will focus on making one of them at drafting an RB, i think they focus heavy on offense next year.. They need another great WR, to free up some looks for Austin... i wouldn't want Fisher fired just yet, he is in rebuilding mode and heading in the right direction

They still need a different QB, doubt I'm the only one who's seen enough of Bradford to know he most likely will never be a franchise QB at the NFL level.

people said the same thing about Alex Smith.. look at him now, when you give a qb role players it makes a HELL of a difference, especially if the qb is average and you give him a great RB. changes everything

Alex Smith is not a franchise QB and he knows his limitations, he's had numerous WRs over the years come out and question his arm strength. Smith is a bus driver, he should be able to drive Kansas City to a nice wild card spot, we'll see how far they can get in the watered down AFC with him at the helm.

He inherited the situation coming in and I don't think he should get that much credit for the RGIII trade. It's funny you bring up Finnegan and Witherspoon like they're big pieces of the defense. Finnegan has been awful this year. He's slow and he's got to be the most regressed player in the league. Witherspoon wouldn't even have a starting job if Jo-Lonn Dunbar didn't get suspended then released. Speaking of him, I hope we bring him back. He was fantastic last year.

Another great WR would be nice, but I have zero faith in Brian Schottenheimer. I hate him with a passion and he better be gone after this year. Fassel, the special teams coach, can go too. The special teams penalties are absurd and unacceptable. Tim Walton is not off to a good start either. I hate his soft coverage and how he has our corners playing off the reciever. And we do have a young promising D. Led league in sacks last year. Going backwards this year.

And you act like this is a Rams team that was bad last year. We weren't. We were very competitive in the NFC West and won 7 games. We should be improving from a solid season last year, not be in rebuilding mode.

Brad Johnson, Flacco, Dilfer, E. Manning all remind me of Smith.. they all won superbowls.. And you know what the Defense for those qbs were the reason they won.. Chiefs have a real deal Defense.. just saying

Dunbarr got released? dude was a stud last season. Schotty will be gone.. I'm not acting like anything I have said the Rams are much improved since the preseason started.. but lets face it the NFC is good and the Rams aren't in that tier just yet, they desperately need a RB and another WR.. Givens and Pettis just aren't going to cut it

[Tony208]

Not a good sign that every quarterback under Brian Schottenheimer is Mark Sanchez, or becomes him.

big burn on schotty, lot of analysts calling him out

Johnson and Dilfer are bus drivers but Flacco and Manning both have guns for arms, I believe Manning recently threw for 5000 yards, he definitely isn't a noodle arm like Smith. Smith makes up for it by protecting the ball and he's a very good runner as well, he just won't make a lot of plays that win you games.

Close 4933 yards, but point well made. Eli is nowhere near those other players (skillwise). Main stat is that those QBs only won 1 SB. Eli has 2.

Steve Sabol A Football Life next week, that's a must watch

So glad Ross didn't give power to Fisher. Loving Philbin!

when Dilfer and Johnson played it was a different league.. its a pass happy league now, back early 2000s and previous it was a different game, it was a rare occasion if a QB threw for 4k now a QB sucks if he doesn't.. Dilfer is the worst out the group I named, but when you get a chance you should look up Brad Johnsons stats. the dude had a CANNON! I remember watching him play, he was pretty impressive at times. also the year Eli threw for almost 5k he add like 600 atts, that's an insane amount. Smith does have a arm, he just doesnt' have that down field WR.. Avery is his only option. and he didn't have much in San Fran either.. Crabtree, Bowe, Davis, Baldwin, Morgan. These guys aren't deep threat WRs.. so its hard to judge Smiths arm when he very rarely gets the chance to throw it down field.. but that's okay the coaches know what kind of WRs they are working with and Smith has no problem getting them the ball.. Yes he is a good runner and showing it this year more then ever.. Last year Smith was leading the league in Completion % before being replaced. he has over a 76% winning percentage and his QB rating was in the top 3.. I guess that is a formula to not win games? that is almost as crazy as Walruswarrior telling me earlier today the Jets are getting 9 wins this season
