SJax talks about the state of the Rams, why this team is so bad and comments on Bradford as a QB.
To a man I respect SJax, he knows what's going on.

Jackson, who knows more than anyone here, made a point of saying most of the problems on offense are a product of an OL that hasn't had a chance at any chemistry. If I'm not mistaken, not one of the line positions has remained consistent the entire season. As we have seen, that's a recipe for failure.
Well, it could also be that it takes 8-9 try to score from the 1 by not effectively utillizing our best player! I also think other teams have had line issues including the Seahags from last night, pretty significant issues but somehow they sit at 6-7 with T Jackson as their QB.Quote:

True, but we've gone three deep at some positions on the line and last night I literally saw guys playing I'd never heard of.Quote:

Then we had DX false start and someone else do a false start that I believe has been there a while.......Oh yes, Wragge. Did not see the other guys whif too badly but yes, it is certainly patchwork.Quote:

If Jackson leaves this team the offseason, I know we'll see tears on his face knowing he wishes he could've done more for this team, and when if he comes back to announce his retirement as a Ram, we're going to be seeing more of that from him. Steven Jackson is my generation's Isaac Bruce and unfortunately, we're more likely unable to see him get his ring with the Rams the same way Bruce did...
I honestly think that he deserves a shot at playing on a winning team and whilst I have always hoped that he could do that with us, it may be that he has to go elsewhere to realise that goal.Quote:

I would not blame him in the slightest if he sought a trade at this stage in his career, which has another 2-3 seasons in it, if we're bring realistic given the pounding he's taken here.
I would thank him for his immense contribution in dreadfully adverse conditions and wish him well up to and beyond the day when he retires as a Ram.
When the MNF crew outlined just how appalling this team has been over the last 5 seasons and that in the face of every attempt by the NFL at parity, it gave me little faith that we could deliver Steven a supporting cast worthy of his efforts in the short to medium term.
A trade may well be in the best interests of everyone but most of all its in the best interest of Steven and I daresay he may well be owed it.

What I heard SJax say are not excuses like most fans think when the facts are presented. "We are playing with a lot of back ups", "we are playing with reserve players". When asked about the teams regression he said that was not a fair assessment, "we have had a lot of injuries". "it's hard to win in this league when you are consonantly shuffling offensive line", "when you have to go back to week one stuff".
SJax said the future is Sam Bradford, thinks he will be a spectacular QB in the NFL. Thinks the Rams have enough of a core to build on and we need to keep these players together.
The point of this post is for all us who know it all fans myself included.... we think we know..
SJax does not need to make up excuses he is playing all out week in and week out.. it's just the facts.Quote:

Imagine rarely being successful in your current job. Imagine the fruits of your labor rarely being rewarded. Few of us would handle it with as much grace as Jackson. As a competitor, it has to be killing him inside. You can't ask anything more from a guy in terms of effort and total production than what Jackson has given the Rams the past 8 seasons.
And what was Jackson supposed to say? "Oh Sam? No that guys terrible, this dumb coaching staff needs to get his ass outta here"...Maybe you should think about what position he's in before he says something...not everything thats said on the television is meant or is true. (not saying SJAX thinks Bradford sucks but thats not a logical answer as to why he will be successful or thinks he will be good in this league)Quote:

One Superbowl win cannot overshadow the countless years we all have had to go through for the past 15 years (not counting the GSOT). I have no confidence in the management of this team anymore. Laurent Robinson, who we DEF could have used is now the Cowboys second best receiver. Which considering they have Dez Bryant and Miles Austin is pretty darn impressive. They say the only place to go from here is up. Well, after this season it looks like we're going to hang low again for quite some time.
The bummer is that Jackson will never return to post season unless the Rams trade him or let him go. That's what I see on his face.
