Stephen's got some change in his purse.

What's the first thing he's going to spend it on?

I'm thinking a #2 WR.

I think they like Tolbert, of course, but I don't see them depending on him for the first several games of the season in that role.

I wouldn't add anyone.

Who is left that wouldn't be a progress stopper?

Rather throw the kids into the deep end of the pool right away.

How long are we supposed to collect and hang onto drafted guys and not play them because they supposedly can't be trusted?

Answer: About 6 games.

Yeah I hear what you mean, but I wouldn't go spending millions on a Jarvis Landry when Dak may not even "bond" with him so to speak before Gallup returns.

I'd actually gamble on Washington being able to fill that role, and Tolbert making an early impact.

I'm the wrong guy to ask anyway because I think getting back to running the ball is more important than trying to add all kinds of weapons for Dak that he either won't find or won't trust.

Collecting a WR group and adding up their career catch stats doesn't mean this QB is gonna get them the ball.

"I can't throw it to myself" was just recently said.

From what I can tell, as I have not seen the entire UDFA signees. They have 1 or 2 open roster spots to get to 90.
Now the 9 drafts picks don’t count toward the roster until they are actually signed.

But that does not leave room but off or 1 or 2 FA signings unless they release some players.

Hopefully a guy who can return punts and kickoffs.

Being so crappy at free agency pretty much dooms us before we begin.

I'd agree about running the ball.

Pollard seems to be holding down his end of the bargain.

It's Zeke who is stuck in 1st and 2nd Gear.

I still can't believe we didn't improve or rb core.

Even if Zeke gets a wide open hole he'll get run down in 10-15 yards. He can still block and run in the red zone. And punch the ball in.

Everything else is mediocre at best

I think we may see some Cowboys activity after the June 1 cuts come out. I think they need a backup plan in case Tyler Smith is not ready to be the starting LG.

Kearse was one of the better free gent signings in the entire league last year. Hooker is a good one too.

They were 12 and 5 just like the Rams. The Rams could have easily lost in the playoffs just like everybody else.

If you are going to come on to a forum to try to make the case that one team's methods are considerably better than the others, try to back up your point by dealing with the facts that a 12-5 team that won three games by three points and blew a 17 point lead at home,on the last game of the season, to their divisional rival, is only marginally better than the other 4 top contenders in the NFC.Tampa Bay,Green Bay,Dallas,SF and LA are different by very thin margins,and the ball has two points on each end and Tarte needed to hold on to the easy interception.

There's no reason to turn the Rams in the off season into the 1972 Dolphins or the 1985 Bears.

So what? It is true. The 49ers beat the Cowboys and they beat the Rams twice. They still lost in the playoffs just like all of the other teams. The Rams could have easily lost and the Cowboys could have won. There isn't much difference at all.
