I'm not arguing the Rams weren't cheap. I'm simply saying he wanted to renegotiate.....often. He signed a 4 year contract and wanted it torn up halfway through. Instead he signed a 3 year extension and then forced a trade. The reason I bring up the injury insurance is this. If you don't like being ...

Part of me feels like its blasphemy for a QB other than Kurt Warner to be wearing #13. Then again, sometimes I feel like Kurt identifies more as a Cardinal than a Ram these days. Don't know what it means, if anything, but Kurt Warner's blog where he does film breakdown, he's decorated the backgroun...

IIRC the 3 year extension came with a 4 mil injury policy. I'm not sure why you're pointing that out? You say he was making "half"? Who was the highest paid RB and what was Dickerson making? Not sure officially, but the article uses Riggins and Allen as examples of guys who were making ab...

He held out with the Colts too, so there's that. A history of holdouts and contract disputes. Was he the best RB of his time? Sure. Was he a holdout waiting to happen? Absolutely. Well, we don't know that for sure. Yes, we have his history but we don't have a situation where he was treated like the...

Never said any of that. I said "I got tired of the Dickerson signs/Dickerson holds out bullshit". So I was ambivalent. What it amounts to is they got better when he left. Their O line was terrific so White and Bell thrived. We can always say, "I wished this, because of that, then we ...

Scrap the 1987 strike season when the trade was made and Ram Charles White led the NFL in rushing. The Rams went 21-11 (.656) without E.D. in 1988 and 1989. After going 40-24 (.625) the 4 years previous to 1987. :idea2: Less distractions? Or QBs matter more than RBs? Wasn't that about the time the ...

The money was the problem. Yep. I doubt the Rams would have had a problem with the draft compensation. And, even though it's kind of disappointing, I can't say that it's probably not for the best. On a good deal, it was worth the risk to see if Jones might still be Jones. But at a premium, I was no...

I think his prime was 1983 to 1987 and he spent all but 9 games with the Rams. Sure he had three 1,000 yard seasons in Indy but after that, he was done. 6968 yards in 4 years with the Rams, 55 TDs, plus 277 and 1 TD in 1987 with L.A. 4258 yards, 26 TDs in the 3 years after leaving. ( 2710 more yard...

No doubt the thought has crossed most old school players how the salaries have (over) inflated after the CBA's. And then there's the Frontandreary regime and the power mongering save enough $$ for GF to keep her bloated lifestyle front office. Sickening to this day the cut ED lose over $200k. At le...

Speaking of mergers, I'm glad that the CFL and XFL are talking. I'm not opposed to other leagues existing and would even enjoy some kind of championship vs. the NFL or even a merger to create an IFL(International instead of just National). Canada and Mexico should be the target of the NFL if it want...
