Whitworth and Vollmer would significantly help our line. If DG really wants to stay true to his word that big men allow you to compete, he would go after both. It's time to take the protection of Cam seriously.

Props, KK agreed back then.

Folks realize it takes 2 parties to agree to a contract right? Nothing guarantees Whitworth wanted to play here.

No no no fug Dave he should have kidnapped his wife and not released her till he signed.

Not sure why people have a hard time understanding this. 

But it’s just so satisfying to bitch and complain. And let’s be honest, if the Rams didn’t have an amazing season he would not have been on that list.

Who says he would've signed here even if we made him an offer? We could make a thread for dozens of players we didn't sign every year. Silly.

But we could have signed him and didn’t, fug the fact that there are 31 other teams then us in the nfl or the fact that the Rams at the time of his signing had twice the cap space we did, or that he turned down a contact in Cincinnati his long term home to go for a final big pay day.

yeah fug Dave Gettleman!!

If I’m correct, Whitworth signed a bigger contract than our bust Kalil. We weren’t gonna get him. 

 

And I agree above. I mean there are at least 4 good safeties right now that I know of that are still on the market. 

It averaged to about $150k difference/year. They are structured quite differently. Whitworth would have hurt us a lot in the short term with cap but he would have fixed one of our biggest holes we have had for years and years. Kalil doesn't hurt our cap that much YET but he is killing us on the field.

At least he tried to do what he could. Gentleman, low key, fuged us at the LT spot with an absolutely terrible contract.

I wanted Whitworth too. But he just got a better deal. And blame Ryan Kalil

    Oh! So this is the subject where we can’t complain? Coming from you that’s priceless. 

     Find any report, anywhere, that has us in contact with Whitworth, or any other LT for that matter. Why would a country boy want to suddenly go to LA. We had plenty of cap to make this work. We have already paid Kalil 24M to suck. Whitworth won’t have made that until next year. You really think Whitworth would have turned down 10M less guaranteed to play with a team that hadn’t seen the playoffs in forever? 

    There is no, and never will be an excuse for this. When the entire league is laughing at you,, something is off. And this isn’t hindsight. I made my feelings known many times before the signing. Then I lost it on here when it happened and was roundly chastised because I should give him a chance...LOL. Please look up the thread. Sounds a lot like this drivel

Only thing we know now is that Matt Kalil is in the top 80 atleast.  Other NFL players respect the hell out of him, even 1 guy gave him a nickname, speedbump for how he slows down the other teams speed rushers.  Glad to see Matt Kalil getting the credit he deserves.

      Snow in the high country

      By rayzor · Posted

      yeah. winter backpacking trips were the most miserable and amazing experiences. same with the coldest and snowiest hunting  experiences. i love being in it. makes for incredible memories. the worse it was, the more i ended up loving it. made the greatest memories.  i just want to get out of it afterwards.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      I forgot about Jackson...definitely elite.  The sad part of your list is that 2 of them were 'there for the taking for the Panthers'.  Rumor has it that Hurney loved Herbert and was vetoed on trying to trade up.  And rumor has it that Frank & McCown wanted Stroud.  I believe both rumors.

      Snow in the high country

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      I went on a solo elk hunt in the Flat Tops. It was awesomely miserable. LOL It was a late season hunt, I think third season and it was forecasted to snap off cold with highs in the upper thirties and lows in the single digits. fug it, I'm going anyway. They were wrong. The highs were in the low 20s and the lows were in the negative teens. I shivered so hard the first night I thought my teeth were going to break. It was the only time I've ever been legit concerned that I might be in trouble. Crawled out of my sleeping bag and got a fire started and suffered through the night bundled up next to the fire. I slept the next two nights literally wearing every stitch of clothing I'd brought with Nalgenes full of near boiling water in the bottom of my sleeping bag. That was the only way to have non-frozen water in the morning anyway. There was about a foot of snow on the ground and the melt/freeze crust was almost enough to support your weight but you'd go crashing through just as you went or make your step. It was exhausting travel and every step sounded like a rifle shot. Hunting was basically impossible. I never saw an elk in those four days, only saw 5-6 deer. LOL It was brutal but I loved it. Absolutely beautiful country that is never been to before and haven't been back since. I needed that four day complete break from society fighting for my life against the elements. I'm weird like that.
