Jake Long to Rams

Submitted by rb4kb8 on
Late last night Jake agreed to a 4 year deal with St. Louis. Roughly $34M. The NFC West is a joke no more. Congrats to Jake. Go Blue!

To restructure his contract for months now. In addition to that, Staff doesn't strike me as an individual who would take less money for the team. He wants to get paid. I agree with the Fisher thing tho, beats drafting Gosder in the top-20 or a (possible) Guard top-15 like Reiff.

PS) OLine predictions assuming A)we don't take a 1st round tackle and B) we do but he doesn't start. I can't even think of a rotation. Reiff-Sims-Raiola-Gandy-Hilliard/Chris Fox?! Eeek

I don't know that this makes the Rams on the same level as Seattle or S.F. St Louis still has Bradford as their QB has not shown me anything. Also, who is their running back now?

Daryl Richardson did pretty well last year as the backup.  I think he could be a viable starter, or they could draft someone.  Running backs aren't that hard to replace, especially if you build a good offensive line.

No one said fear the rams... Just the NFC West wouldn't be a joke.

Bradford hasn't shown anything because he's been on his butt most of his career. That OL has been horrible. It just got better.

Rams went 4-1-1 last year against NFC West. Not losing to SF.

As for Running back, Jackson was sharing carries last year... And they have the draft.

No arguing they need help in offense... WR and RB.. But you cannot deny how stellar that defense was last year.

And lastly.. For a team that's always at 2 wins... A .500 season is a good start. NFC West could have 3 teams over .500 or at .500... Looking back on that division... That's damn good.

As a St Louis area resident, I'm happy that next time I go to see the Rams play, I'll have a player to root for.  I may even get a Jake Long jersey...
