What are your thoughts of the "going all in" approach that the Rams took?

Rams were in the Superbowl just a couple years ago and were still relevant. It's not like they were starting from scratch. Plus, they had solid coaching already in place, so they weren't exactly waiting for their coaches to learn that you can't lick your elbows. 

Not really the same situation. Would take a lot more for us to get there. And, thanks to the genius trades from last year, we don't have nearly the capital we'd need to make it happen....at least not without really damaging the team elsewhere.

I think they were lamenting never going all in with Cam in his prime. Going all in now would mean gunning for the #1 overall pick. 😆

Gotcha. What I get for not really reading the OP 🤣.

Then yes.... absolutely. We should have gone all in.

The Rams actaully have a good coaching staff and were a good QB away from winning it all. Not only that, but they were savvy enough to not completely destroy their future cap while trying to win it all this year. This offseason, both Gurley and Goff's contracts come off the books for LA. They also have the ability to free up a ton of cap space by extending numerous guys that are good and they are primed to make another run next season as long as Donald and McVay don't retire. 

TL:DR we are a poverty franchise run by chucklefugs and it would make no sense to "Go all in" based on our current personnel, coaching staff, and cap situation.

Um, the cupboard is kind of bare here  when it comes to draft picks to trade away, thanks to our coaching and managerial brilliance. We got Sam Darnold for our work.

That leaves trading away our handful of good players, potentially to trade for bums again. 

How about we wait this season out and see Rhule to the door before we get all fancy in our efforts?

Big question is does Tepper believe that. If he trusts Rhule then he will give him free rein to get himself out of this mess of Rhule’s making by trading picks and players. If not he forces Rhule to run with Sam and make sure he doesn’t mortgage this team’s future in the process.

If Rhule trades everything for a qb it will not help his situation.  Fans might get off his back and think said qb will solve everything. But reality is it will not help. It will just leave us in a massive cap hole paying 2 qbs not on the roster and with bare cupboards.  Said qb will demand a trade after one season.  Prepare thy anus.

      Easily. To be able to plug in a backup LT without much drop off from your starter? That could mean the difference between playoffs or sitting at home in January. Good/serviceable smart young and healthy LTs that won’t lose you a ball game at reasonable $$ don’t just come along every day. Everyone talks about the most important positions on a football team… backup LT is in the top 10.  Picture next year… the team is scrappy and competitive, 4 and 3 record, second place in the South. Morale is good. devastating run game that Let’s our marginal defense get plenty of rest. We play the Bucs and win, going to 5 and 3, but we lose Ickey to a high ankle sprain. Atl loses that week and are now at 5 and 3 as well. There is no Ickey and no BC because we let him go… and we go in to Atl the next week for a battle of first in the south. Week after that is the Jets…. Now they lose both by 10 and 3, respectively, and fall to 5 and 5 going in to their bye week. Atl is at 7 and 3. Out of typical Panthers desperation, they try to rush Ickey back in to the lineup with a saints game coming up…  Back to good old Panthers football, always playing catchup. Another season at .500 and the fans sadly rejoice in mediocrity, when playoffs were in reach. This team always overestimates its ability to pick up quality o line depth in the draft or FA and it always blows up in their faces. Like Chuba, I see him as being part of the core that Dan is trying to build. Work on his contract now and see if we can come out with something mutually beneficial. I’d consider 3 yrs at $25m to be very fair.

      it would be great to have "double trouble" again, I even had a T- shirt for Williams and Stewart and the double trouble logo, was a great time to be Panthers fan. We shall see...
