How close are these guys? If tonight was supposed to make things clear, I'm not sure that happened. Null did well, but looked a bit shakey at times, while Berlin had a good night and looked very poised. There will no doubt be many factors in deciding who makes the final roster, but this looks to be a tough call for the Rams.

Looks Like It Will Be A Tough Decision Between Berlin And Null

Re: Looks Like It Will Be A Tough Decision Between Berlin And Null
It's Berlin. Null looked rough (not always his fault because his o-line was HORRIBLE on the right side) and with Bulger's finger banged up, they have to go with more than a rookie project. They can try and put Null on the practice squad.

Null has taken my preference over Berlin, that's just me. I think the Rams "however", are going for Berlin. :helmet: For now.
How about Null kept safe for a little later in our practice squad? Allow him some time to develop in Ramland.

Here's how I look at these two.....the clipboard fits in both their hands. If we have to play a 3rd string QB at anytime this season we are in even worse trouble. The NFL may put the Rams on double secret probation for impersonating a NFL team.

Re: Looks Like It Will Be A Tough Decision Between Berlin And Null
Berlin has been around for a while; a year on the Fins PS and their farm team in Europe. Nobody wanted him after he was cut in '06. In short, he has had the opportunities to get better but really hasn't.
I dunno what Null's ceiling is. His college career suggests there is better to come, doesn't it? Nor was he disgraceful in pre-season under the circumstances. Then again, he probably isn't as steady as Berlin would be just because of experience.
Balance in favor of keeping Berlin active-I think it's his last year of PS eligibility,anyway, and try to tuck Null away on the PS & hope he doesn't get a better offer. I'd think twice about leaving the team that drafted me and be a 3rd at some other probably equally weak team;better
to bide my time in STL where there's considerable haziness about the starter position for next year and the current #2 is almost certainly not the answer. Possibly the shortest path to a starter opportunity.Last edited by Azul e Oro; -09-04-2009, 12:34 PM.

Re: Looks Like It Will Be A Tough Decision Between Berlin And Null
I really don't think Null makes it to the practice squad.
The Rams are not a playoff team right now. So, for me, considering the rook's performance, his upside, his age and his poise, I lean towards the rook over Berlin, whose what........50? :-)
Worse case senario, if we need him, I am sure Berlin would be available.
This really isn't that close for me, and I like Berlin.Semper Fi!

Re: Looks Like It Will Be A Tough Decision Between Berlin And Null
Tx is right, we're done if we end up needing either of these guys, but that isn't the question. Who should we go with?
In my opinion, if you have to decide between a vet and a rookie that are equal in terms of talent, you go with the rookie because he can get better. Berlin has shown what he can do. Null is still developing. We're screwed if we need either one, so why not give the reps to Null who might develop into something?I believe!:ram:
