Michael Sam?

This isn't really a thread about Michael Sam, however I'll start the conversation with him. The Rams have 8 defensive lineman spots sown up and may only keep 9, which means Sam, who had 2 sacks yesterday and 3 in the preseason, might be practice squad material.

Obviously Sam has been more impressive than most of the Dallas defensive line, which is probably from top to bottom the worst in the league right now.

The point here is, however, the Rams are just 1 of 30 other teams with better defensive line talent and there is bound to be some people cut or added to PSquads that are superior to players on Dallas' roster.

The ONLY advantage of being the worst at a position is that you can upgrade with others castaways.
If Dallas doesn't do this, then its inexcusable.

I mean the team is going to be terrible this year either way, but not upgrading this group is unfathomable.

If Romo gets injured this season, then we`re done no matter what.

Well you still have to go out there and play. That's your opinion but tell these players that. Tell Dez that the season is over if Romo goes down. He'll look at you crazy. It makes absolutely no sense at all to trade Weeden right now.

There's no politics involved. The same reason why I wouldn't want Sam is the same reason why I wouldn't want Ocho Cinco, TO or Pac-Man Jones(earlier in his career when we got him). I just want football players. I don't want the circus that comes with them. That's the least thing this team needs.

Ok, i don't see the Michael Sam controversy being on the same level as Chad Johnson, TO, and Pac-Man jones. I actually don't think it's a big deal where others might. Honestly, I could not care less about what the media has to say about it too.
 
He's been pretty impressive thus far, shows quickness and explosivness off the line.

If he can come in and help this team then I'm all for it. At this point, there's a good chance that he could come in and at the very least be a situational pass rusher who could maybe sneak into the starting lineup.

We aren't blessed with an abundance of talent so I don't think we are in any position to ignore anyone that can improve this team, especially our defense.

Id rather they play a younger Qb then go with Weeden who everyone knows is below average.

LAST WARNING.

What's up Sarge? Looking forward to another great season of intense conversation here on the board. That San Francisco game can't come soon enough.
 
Sam really looks scary coming off of that edge. Very fluid in his ability to hit the corner apex and speed rush the edge. I hadn't seen the swim move or the bull rush yet but 3 sacks in the preseason isn't too shabby at all.

I'm not at all concerned about any distractions. He's a class guy that won't fill the police blotter.
 
I reminded of the words of Morgan Freeman in regards to the Sam hate. Google that.
