The problem with Fisher and his staff, though, is that they have been horrid at halftime adjustments. More than once they've gone into halftime with a decent lead (or at least in the realm of being competitive) and then they come out to crap the bed in the second half. And it's happened over and over. San Fran, Dallas, Arizona, Seattle (even though they ended up winning that one), it's a trend. So unless Fisher can go into Snead's office and pinpoint what has caused this and what will be changed to keep it from happening next year, he has to be accountable on at least some level. The blame for repetitive halftime failures has to fall somewhere, and Fisher seems to be a decent place for it.
I don't follow the Rams that closely. I was more asking. So the real question is, who is their quarterback next year? They seem to be too good to get Mariota, would they grab Winston? Or should they?
because you think the guys are similar in ability, or they're 2 random guys on the same team?Yeah, I agree. Still not sold on the guy. Definitely a great game, but unfortunately they can't play Oakland every week. I'd like to keep him as well, but I'm concerned it will be like ZS all over again.Unfortunately, not in my line-up and won't be for the playoffs. Picked him up as insurance and will probably be one of my 2 keepers for next year ... hopefully he will be the focal point on the offence next year and not fizzle out like Stacy (which I doubt).

They went away from "The Plod" that was Mr. 3.9ypc Stacy, and moved on to Mr 4.6ypc Tre LA Soul.Because I don't trust the Rams organization to make reasonable decisions that harness his abilities for the maximum long-term impact.because you think the guys are similar in ability, or they're 2 random guys on the same team?Yeah, I agree.

Nah.

Toby Gerhart was #36 last season in re-draft standard, RB17, having shown substantially less than Mason already has. Literally drafted upon college pedigree and 3-down "potential" in...Jax. No that the STL offense is a world beater, but Mason is getting ample sample size to show what he's got with a large workload, and he's showing it. I'd say if this keeps up through the 2014 FF playoffs, he doesn't make it out of the late 2nd/early 3rd in re-draft standard.
How many Bellcow RBs that avg 4.6ypc w an elite o-line do you expect to get beyond mid 2nd round?
Geez, top 18 pick already? Think that's a bit of an overreaction. He looked great yesterday but it was Oakland who clearly didn't come to play a game. Andre Ellington was super hyped up this year and still was available in the 3rd rds of drafts...He probably had more success then Mason as well
Didn't he run a slow 40 at the combine? He sure looked fast on that screen and the 87 yard run!
yeah, people say 'it was oakland, it was oakland' --- but 'it was oakland' might've actually hurt him by holding him to only 14 carries.Da Gildz said:
From an athletic standpoint it's not really his straight line speed that's super impressive, it's his short area explosion and quickness. Him and Stacy are the same height and essentially ran the same 40 yard (4.5) but Mason is 15-20 lbs. lighter and and a ton more agile, it shows as he weaves through the holes.Cheesedawg said:
Yes. The same team that just beat the Chiefs last week.
He was the 15th rookie selected in my startup....the 6th running back! Situation matters, but talent matters much much more.
Dont get me wrong...i own Mason...i was a stacy owner arguing that stacy was the guy to own...i was wrong...Mason is an exciting talent...i just think the Raiders have laid down ...especially after the win in KC...they wont win another game this year...but that doesnt mean Mason isnt the real deal...he looked awesome
I thought Stacy would hang on longer too. Liked his vision a lot. Shocked he isn't in a committee this year.
i have no idea what happened to him...very strange...hes not as good as we thought but he certainly cant be as bad as he looks
I don't think he's nearly as bad as everyone imagines, he's a solid grinder. I just think Mason is that much better.
No, I own him. Just not sure he's worthy of starting yet. Also trying to decide if he's worth keeping over Anderson next year. It will be interesting to see what happens to the St. Louis offense in the off-season.That's okay. The buying window has long since closed.Yeah, I agree. Still not sold on the guy.

no one is a greater moth to flame. soulfly is the equivilent of fbg's head cheerleader.
Settle down dude. Anyone who plays dynasty does. I could be wrong, but I had him ranked #1 RB coming out. I had the 1.10 pick in both of my dynasties. Got him in one. He went @ 1.04 in the other.
He still took a screen pass for 35 yards in the first 3 minutes of the contest, where the de had a hand on him, an angle, and mason was able to accelerate to the sideline going east west, and still fast enough to get the td.
