Mac, my gut tells me they're taking Goff at #1, if that is the case and "if" we take Wentz...then how would your perception of FO be?
The Rams did not give up all those draft picks to take Goff. I would take a gentleman's bet on that. if my take on it is right, would your stance on the FO change at all?
I judge this front office on their actions..or lack of action. If I find out through a legit source that Sashi did make a "serious attempt/offer" to the Titans, to trade up to secure the #1 pick...then my opinion might start to change.
I will accept your gentleman's bet and admit to be wrong, if I'm wrong...Wentz will be drafted by the Rams. fair enough Mac...here is to hoping we get Tunsil or Ramsey at this point.
I bet you're wondering the samething I did, why O' why didn't I take the...blue pill

Could it be that the Rams, now moving to California, take Goff - the kid who just finished his college ball in California? Berkeley is 375 miles away from Los Angeles. Bismarck is 1587 miles away.

Never implied that it did. I just couldn't understand your exasperation when all you had to go on was opinion. That's all. I think there is more than opinion in there.. But honestly, I don't think talking to you about it is going to lead to any resolution.

The Rams did not give up all those draft picks to take Goff. I would take a gentleman's bet on that. if my take on it is right, would your stance on the FO change at all? His take on the FO is set in stone. The only thing that will change is the reasons he looks for to support it. I would hope that winning would change it as well...?

Or an attempt to make a homophobic slur since you've called the Brownie mascot gay? I mean, you already called me a women in attempt to be derogatory....you just covering all the loose ends now?

Let's put it in terms you'll understand... You go into your beverage stare for your daily 12 pack the store owner knows you got a raise so raises the price of your 12 to $40 do you pay the money or look else where?

I go to Kroger to buy 10 packs of Monster for 15.99 I KNOW that Walmart has it cheaper, but Walmart is half an hour away, while Kroger is two blocks away.. The difference is I'm paying more knowing I'm getting the same exact thing, I valued time over a few bucks. You can't, in Sports, say you'll be able to get the exact same thing aomewhere else.. Because people are not beverages.

If said item is the final piece to complete the set and are few and far between you re evaluate if not and you feel you can get one later at your price you stick to your guns.

I was replying more to YTown that FA is an Auction, and that when you put a value on a player, and someone outbids you, you have to reevaluate or walk away.. Its not a strict "this is the price of this item" situation.
