Yes, going undefeated his last year in college and now the SB in his first full healthy season as a pro is just terrible.

No one wants to root for a kid that had to earn everything he has in this world,,,,,when it is so much easier rooting for the Mercenary Built Rams! :biggrin:

Are you saying mercenaries don't earn what they have? And what makes one a mercenary? Is Burrow not paid to play football just like those lousy mercs?

Burrow is pure gold baby, how can you dislike him. His energy/confidence and play have been the main driver in the turn around in Cincy
I am just a guy sharing some thoughts

I saw that and it was interesting

Rams couldn't be where they are without drafting well in the mid to late rounds

Also I appreciate their rejection of sunk cost fallacy

Giving Jared Goff that huge contract didn't stop them from realizing he sucks bleep and moving on

Same for Gurley and realizing he's washed

A lesson for dynasty players tbh with drafting players who clearly suck

Are you telling me to move on from Royce Freeman? But man...he was worth a first at one point! I can't drop a first.

This line of thinking almost had me drop Penny right before his nice stretch ofo games to close out the season, sometimes conviction or stupidly holding the bag works out.

Don't drop Freeman: The Rams are in full win now mode and given their horrid cap situation Freeman is the perfect FA signing this off season and no doubt will resurrect his career and make you and the Duck faithful proud once again! :thumbup:

🤩 I’m gonna have to buy him wherever I can! Think he’s still worth a first maybe or just an early 2nd at this point?

I always root for the underdogs, pulling for Bengals here!!
Also I've watched Donald try and choke 2 too many people this year to cheer for him as much as I used to.

Just saw a stat about money spent in free agency over the last two seasons.

The Rams came in stone motherless last with $36m spent.

The Bengals came in 4th with $172m spent.

It says it all really.

If AD is choking them then they surely deserved it.
