Worst 15 Rams of the Last Decade

*moloch41* · #1 (**permalink**) -08-02-2008

Since the other list was already done, I thought I'd go the other way. Im sure I'm missing a bunch of "stars" on my roster, but it's what came to mind...

15.) Robert Thomas- wasn't the answer on the outside or the inside. We spent a first round pick on him, right?

14.) Corey Chavous- the guy was a good player, but has been spotty at best for the Rams.

13.) Anthony Hargrove- was supposed to be the compliment to LIttle, but only had one decent year. Turned out he was a head case to boot.

12.) Damione Lewis- really did very little. I actually thought he would have been a decent DE, but they insisted on playing him at tackle.

11.) Claude Wroten- has shown that he doesn't know what to do with a 2nd, 3rd, 4th, or 5th chance

10.) Claude Terrell- what a bum and a cancer to boot- amazing that it took so long to cut him

09.) Gus Ferrotte- FOSL. Awful, just awful and at a nice sized price tag.

08.) Kim Herring- really did nothing after signing a big contract. Was a "lovie-type" player tho...

07.) Jason Sehorn- the only reason he isn't ranked lower is because he put Angie Harmon in the stands.

06.) Tony Banks- how did he fool scouts so badly?

05.) Adam Archuleta- the most overrated DB in NFL history. Took bad angles to the ball, couldn't cover his grandmother, and had hands of steel.

04.) Travis Fisher- never understood that a 15 yd cushion wasn't necessary

03.) Lawarence Phillips- if football was about beating up women, running down kids in your SUV, and general criminal activity- he would have been a hall of famer.

02.) Jamie Duncan- lovie smith's solution to replacing a great player like London Fletcher. Was the most expensive special teamer we ever had.

01.) Jimmy Kennedy- what a tremendous disappointment this guy was. Showed absolutely nothing in his stint although he was given every chance in the world. Spent last season out of football after being cut by the Broncos and not getting signed after tried outs with other teams.

how does jacoby shephard or koala Noi or Milton Wynn not make your lists??? not to mention brian allen, trung candidate, eric couch... all these players were busts as rams...

*Ramer* · #4 (**permalink**) -08-02-2008

I would say number 1 is Lawarence Phillips. The guy had so much talent and promise but couldn't keep his head on straight. Number 2 would be Tony Banks. Fumbled all the time.

For me, suffice it to say one name: Couch.

I tried to go with guys that actually played some for the Rams.

For me it has to be...Eric Crouch. I never liked him, and i am happy to see he is not with us.. hasnt been for sometime. 2002/2003?

*moloch41* · #8 (**permalink**) -08-02-2008

Did Crouch ever seen any game time with the Rams?

*Chris58* · #9 (**permalink**) -08-02-2008

Couch and Phillips tie for the worst Ram decisions. Maybe outside the timeline, but Cleveland Gary was even a bigger bust IMHO. As I recall he was a #1 pick and he showed up overweight and things only went down hill from there.

I'm surprised to see Chavous on the list. He has been inconsistent, but he had some good games this season. I'll admit at times he has seemed like a weak link on a weak defense. On the other hand, he has brought good leadership skills and a good attitude to the team. I think he's just a little past his prime and was never really amongst the highest echelon at his position in the first place. I wouldn't put him in the same company as a lot of these other guys.

He put up some decent numbers for the Rams, but had a bad case of the fumblitis.

I wouldn't fight to keep him up there, but he hasn't been very good for the Rams. And I'm not criticizing him for laziness, being untalented, or a bum- just that he was past his prime when we got him. In terms of attitude, playing hard, and being a team player- no, he doesn't belong with these other guys.

Eric Crouch would be the first that comes to mind who's not on your list. Although maybe he never actually suited up in any games (I honestly can't remember) and that could rule him out.

Trung Canidate would be a good candidate too. Started just 3 games in 3 seasons after being a 1st round pick.

This just goes to show how awful the drafting has been in the past 10 years.

You wonder why we were 3-13 this year? I don't think you can place the blame solely on injuries.
