Rams are headed to salary cap hell shortly. I'd prefer a few strong years and a dynasty over a year one wonder. *shrugs*

I'll take the SB.

Rams have been to the big show twice, winning once in last half decade.

That's closer to a dynasty than whatever Jerry and Stephen think they're doing these last THREE decades.

Add Suh to this D and it’s a HUGE upgrade. It would make everyone so much better and I don’t care if he is old. He commands attention from the whole Oline.
I know it a pipe dream that we sign but that’s the kind of move real championship contenders make IMO.

Both Jimmy and Tuna churned the bottom of roster regularly.

Even during championship years.

Best coaches motivate their players to stay hungry and make examples of poor effort/mistake prone players.

Yes but you churn with younger players, for the future, as usually they are inactive for awhile. You do not churn with progress stoppers.
Now if that player can come in and make a real impact right away that is different. The players out there right now, can't do that.

That was not the intent of the post. Building team chemistry for this year.
I don't live in the past on every little subject.

Maybe you should look to the last to see what we’ve been doing simply does not work

Yea I love being one and done in the playoffs compared to getting to Super Bowls and actually winning.

Churn the bottom of the roster.
Always be looking to improve the margins.

The Jones’s will never do that….they think they know more than everyone else and will just draft hall of famers.

 

[Bigrandrn]

yep, and he isn't through stomping on guys' heads. We could use a bad guy.

For sure, bring in a nasty vet who has won a SB….why the hell not, he’s got to be better than some of our DTs.

Man, I sure would love another SB though….better than doing nothing and perpetually losing like we do. The guys we could bring I wouldn’t kill the cap either.

I'd prefer younger players too if I had my brothers but the whole point of churn is to improve talent at the bottom and keep everyone from getting complacent.

There is considerably less need to churn now that practice squads are 16. Certainly far fewer unemployed players available to churn.

Maybe you shouldn’t always look to the past as it is a new season. Try looking forward and not backwards.

There will always be reason to churn and/or to improve bottom of roster, PS could be maxed to 20 and it will still be the case.

The psychological factors alone incentivizes churns.

I always want to revert back to Suh. The dude is still a monster.

 

[America's Cowboy]

Does anybody know if Jabril Cox is coming back soon?

I heard Cox's knee is giving him some problems once again. Cowboys are hoping it only needs more time to fully heal.

Let’s revisit after Wild Card Weekend…. Or before

that's ridiculous. There are 350 fewer players eligible to join an NFL PS. What you end up churning is far less likely to get you anywhere.

Strategies have to change as rules do, otherwise you are just a dinosaur.
