One might assert that I'm being a bit of a homer here, but... am I?

First of all, the Rams have won back-to-back division titles, so it should come as little surprise that they have the top talent.

Second, some of the selections were somewhat by default. Blythe is not a top player, but there are not a lot of top RGs in the division (Mike Person, 49ers and D.J. Fluker, Seahawks were considered). Same goes for OLB. Fowler is still unproven, but I still thought he deserved a spot over K.J. Wright, Seahawks, given Wright's injuries last year.

So... agree...disagree?

I thought Wilson got traded. or is holding-out. Shouldn't jimmy glimpsalot of the 40whiners be the QB choice? They still think he is the second coming in sanfransisyco.

My All NFC West Team

Offense: Rams starting lineup

Defense: Rams starting lineup.

I must admit, I'm surprised at the restraint exhibited in limiting Rams starters to the All-NFC West team. Shouldn't they just be all 22 All-Pro's?

No, Seattle re-signed him to like a 100 year extension for 300-400 billion dollars

I would put Goff ahead of Wilson....

The reason why I say that,,,,

His stats are better from the past total stats in two years...

Plus going into this year,,, I can see his stats being even better than the past two years for a single season.

One can argue Goff has a better team around him...

But Goff is performing with what he has...

Dick84 wrote:Dee Ford over Fowler. Even if Fowler takes a big jump.. I struggle to see him producing like Ford.
David Johnson over Chris Carson.
I'd put a fullback on there and throw Juszczyck on there.

Looking at other teams' depth charts actually makes me feel better about the coming season.

speaking of david johnson...

The reason I didn’t have Ford there is that I believe he is expected to play DE in the 49ers system. If he was listed at OLB, I’d agree he’d get the nod over Fowler.

Johnson had a bad year last season. It will be interesting to see if he bounces back the way Gurley did after his bad 2016 campaign.

I think Goff has narrowed the gap significantly, but I thought Wilson deserved the nod. I won’t be surprised, though, if I have Goff at QB on next year’s list.

Dick84 wrote:He’s a pass rusher in that defense and they say they’ll use him how he was used in KC.

He’s better rushing the passer from the outside than anyone not named Chandler Jones, in the division. Ansah could be in the mix as well.

“Pass rusher” isn’t a position. He’s listed as a DE. As a DL, I don’t see him as deserving a spot on the list.

As for Ansah, he may not be healthy for opening day, so I don’t know how much impact he’ll have.
