Does the Los Angeles Rams trade actually make sense?

Leave a comment

What a difference four years makes, huh? Les Snead, the general manager of the then-St. Louis Rams, pulled off a trade that netted him eight players for his second overall pick, which the Washington Redskins infamously turned into RGIII. Yesterday, the same Les Snead of the now (again) Los Angeles Rams, traded away six picks for presumably their franchise quarterback.

That seems like a lofty sacrifice for one player. Especially when there isn’t one standout quarterback and the Rams reportedly traded for the pick two weeks early so they can decide which quarterback is their man.

So, does the trade make sense?

The NFL’s quarterback carousel

Leave a comment

It’s amazing. There is no position more important than quarterback in the NFL. Yet, the play at the position has gotten so mediocre that player’s like Sam Bradford are commanding mega-deals, while unknown talents with small sample sizes like Brock Osweiler are doing the same.

Take a look at the quarterbacks that are dominating the top stories since Brock Osweiler’s signing. Mark Sanchez. Colin Kaepernick. Ryan Fitzpatrick. Robert Griffin III. Johnny Manziel. Scott Tolzien.

And fans across the nation are actually up in arms about actually snagging one of these guys.

The New Houston Texans: the Brock stops here

2 Comments

NFL’s free agency period opened yesterday and almost immediately, many of the big names were taken off the board. The Houston Texans revamped their offense with three big moves of their own, signing Brock Osweiler, Lamar Miller and Jeff Allen.

Of course, my Twitter and text messages blew up instantly wanting to know how I felt about this. I had to sleep on it, but I think that overall, the Texans had a good day.

Did the Texans make the right moves? Keep reading to find out.

Roddy White and Arian Foster: Fare thee well

Leave a comment

This has been one heck of an offseason for NFL veterans. Long time stalwarts and fan favorites are finding themselves without homes, at least for the time being. Mario Williams. Charles Johnson. Chris Clemons. Marques Colston. There are so many that NFL.com put out there Top 99 Free Agents list.

None are bigger or mean more to their franchises than Arian Foster and Roddy White.

More on White and Foster’s illustrious careers.

Manning, Kaepernick, Fowler and a week of false leads

Leave a comment

This past week sports’ fans were subject to three huge stories. Dexter Fowler signed on with the Baltimore Orioles. Peyton Manning was set to announce his retirement. The San Francisco 49ers were set to trade Colin Kaepernick, and both the Houston Texans and Cleveland Browns were highly interested.

All reports were according to “sources”. None of the three proved to be true.

Why is being No. 1 so important? Keep reading to find out.

The Houston Texans: 3 free agents to consider

Leave a comment

The Houston Texans have one big, glaring need staring them in the face and the whole NFL knows what it is. Brian Hoyer‘s instant classic of a playoff game showed OB and Rick Smith that this team needs a quarterback. And they have made it clear that that is their major goal.

There are a few other holes, although not as pressing, on the Texans roster. There are also quite a few veterans who may be able to fill them currently on the open market. Here are three guys I wouldn’t mind seeing in Texans Battle Red next season.

3 Veteran Free Agents worth taking a look at.
