Great player comparison with Rod Smith as his upper potential. Smith was high on tenacity and guts with average talent and a great quarterback chucking him the rock - all similarties with Gibson's situation. Who knows if it will happen, but the opportunity is there.
what he said.The two OU guys had an instant connection and rapport. Several other WRs are injury concerns or fragile or whatever term fits. For a while. Clayton is somewhat ideal to have as insurance.it's preseason pup, not regular season pup.he can come off pre anytime, and he still counts against the roster on pre, but if they regular pup him they save a roster spot, so we should have more info by saturday, when they cut down to 53.they put him on pre (active) pup to leave their options open for regular (reserve) pup, or they've already decided he'll be on it.Where did you see that he was placed on PUP?
I do not think his knee is 100%, or the Rams would have signed him earlier. They let him walk, he tested free agency with his knee and he came back empty handed. I am pretty sure they signed him on the cheap and are willing to give Clayton another year to see if he can work back up to full speed. Taking the guy with the bum knee out of this WR competition is a waste of a roster spot. Looks like a perfect taxi squad dynasty play for one year.
This is where I am at. If he was going to be the Rams #1 guy, they sure didn't seem to be too worried about securing his services. He did have really nice numbers to start the year, I can't ignore the targets he had early on. However, I feel that his draft spot will be so low, why not do it. I think if the opportunity presents itself, I am going to try and grab Gibson and Clayton back-to-back late (Deep rosters--40+ spots).
What a pile of poo. Are there any #1 WRs available for trade?
I think the talented Bradford has average, at best, receivers to throw to. McDaniels' helped make Lloyd a stud WR last year. If you can get MSW in the 10+ round, I would seriously consider taking him.
Considering they've got so many guys in the mix, I figure they'll have to be playing some/all of them throughout the game, right? I guess it'd be an indication that a guy has his role wrapped up if he doesn't play much.Considering all the craziness with these receivers, is Kendricks really the guy to have here?'TheFanatic said:
I don't think Moss is coming, TO?...he says he is on track and likely sign once week 1 is in the books so his contract is not guaranteed.'LawFitz said:
"perpetually overrated Sims-Walker" - how many years was he overrated? One, last year?"let go by a WR-desperate team" - didn't MSW say he wasn't coming back period?
On 8/24 Rotoworld said he was 2-3 months from being ready. They quoted Owens as saying that no team has called him with interest. Has something changed since last week?
Players don't refuse to stay with a team purely because the team is not good or because they weren't making enough friends, no matter how much they publicly want to state this is the case. They do not return because they are not getting offered a big enough contract, or because their role on the team is being diminished... which leads to a smaller contract in the future. So if a team without two good WRs doesn't want him then yes it does say something. Sure, the team could be wrong, but it is still at least legitimate to say something is up when a guy can't even hold onto his job there.
Looks like a decent bet to me as well, which is why I said "represents value"."no Clayton"? Yeah? Not for six weeks anyway.
Carson Palmer and TO disagree.
I was told sign week 4, ready by midseason. Anyhow...the Rams aren't winning it all in 2011. This thread shows a slew of young players they want to groom. TO for a year doesn't fit for me.
Because the Rams looked at Braylon and probably thought 'no thanks'.
First I heard that one. Where are you hearing this?
Can you give any details/insight why Avery is the best option there this year? He's suffered through some injuries and did look pretty good in the past. He seems like a darkhorse, but certainly a possibility to emerge there.
only one of em? So they are gonna carry 6 WR's?
I dont know yet...Gilyard tweet is how I learned about himonly one of em? So they are gonna carry 6 WR's?
I know I saw something the other day on him having a toe injury. There was then speculation/conjecture that 'toe injury' = 'turf toe'. I can't seem to find the link anymore though.
Not exactly the best teammate but not R. Moss either. He'd immediately be their #1. You are a weak head coach if you can't make this work. Where you should earn your money.
I agree - he's the guy I'd want to own. He definitely showed "something" and generated some buzz in Jax, which is actually saying a lot. Yes, it didn't all come together, and he deserves some blame, but out of everyone there, he could be a FF monster with prolific qb, which he now has. Not saying run out and grab him at all costs, but if you need an even-upper in a dynasty trade, I think you could do a lot worse than MSW.
I agree about MSW. I traded for him in one league and I'm crossing my fingers he stays healthy. I still believe Kendricks will lead all Rams in receptions this year. Next year look for the Rams to draft one of Alshon Jeffery, Justin Blackmon, or Michael Floyd.'jwb said:
I think the question is "why did they not throw some cash at Braylon or Floyd".The answer is that they were happier keeping their current WR's than throwing money at those guys.Keep in mind that it wasn't only the Rams that turned their noses up at Edwards and Floyd. It may just be timing. They are actually getting pretty young, and Edwards and Floyd don't help that. Kinda like when GB cut ties with Favre when he still had another year left in the tank, sometimes it's better to take your growing pains this year so that next year you are a step closer to that Super Bowl. If you try to minimize the growing pains, you sometimes take longer to get where you want to be.
I think it's time you go and apply for an NFL HC position. It's so easy a caveman could do it.'Daywalker said:
lol
Of course he did. Highest upside of them all, if only he can stay healthy. The guys to have here are Alexander and Gibson.
I think it's time you realize it's an extremely difficult job to attain but most are not geniuses or even that special. Haley and Singletary? Many of these guys aren't the sharpest tools in the shed.I think it's time you go and apply for an NFL HC position. It's so easy a caveman could do it.'Daywalker said:
Oh, I'm very high on him . I think he's a very intriguing option. He never played with Bradford in the preseason in the games though which was odd.
Gilyard and Avery gone. Clayton to the PUP.That means MSW+Gibson+Amendola as the starting 3 with a gimpy Alexander and the two rooks as the depth.
I really think this is shaping up well for Salas. There's really not a lot in front of him in terms of talent and health.
Id bet a lot more of my money on MSW than Alexander, and to a lesser degree, Gibson.But the guy to have here really is Kendricks.
Yet there they are and here we are.I think it's time you realize it's an extremely difficult job to attain but most are not geniuses or even that special. Haley and Singletary?
