    Sterling Sharpe Picks The Rams To Beat Cardinals

    How on earth do you figure that? The Bears were 7-9 last year with crap hitting the fan, and a new QB. It's pretty hard to come up with a logical outlook for why the Bears are likely to suddenly be a lot worse than that. People are going nuts with the Cutler hate. As for the Rams/Cards...

    Kurt Warner: HOF EGO

    HOF ego, HOF player. I've said it before, and I'll probably say it again. Kurt Warner's career has taught me that no matter what you do, and no matter how you conduct yourself, some people simply aren't going to like you and there's nothing you can do about it.

    Another Welcome to St Louie

    It's easiest to improve when you're at the low end of the scale. And given the schedule this year... well, let me put it this way. There's only three games on the schedule I'm looking at as definite losses for the Rams. Not that I expect 13-3, far from it. But there are enough games that are...

    Max Hall reminds me of Fran Tarkenton

    I'd mock the early comparison, but then, I told my wife that a certain Rams backup reminded me a hell of a lot of Dan Fouts when he got his first extended preseason playing time in '99. So sometimes it works out.

    You think the QB controversy is over?

    Max Hall will be starting this year, there is no doubt in my mind. That has more to do with Derek Anderson than it does to do with Hall, though.

    NFC West championship or bust?

    Dude, it's the NFC West we're talking about. If you don't win it, you're ****. Heck, if you do win it, it's still entirely possible that you're ****.

    RUMOR: Leinart is right handed

    This. Yes, it sounds like a chick movie. But it's got fencing, fighting, torture, revenge, giants, monsters, chases, escapes... :D

    Kurt Warner talks about Matt Leinart's predicament

    The NFL has kept track of individual fumbles since, I believe, 1945. The AFL recorded team and individual fumbles. The AAFC did not, so Otto Graham's numbers are off, but we're not going that far back. For a guy like Jones, who began playing in 1973, the numbers are fine. They may have...

    Kurt Warner talks about Matt Leinart's predicament

    Well, I disagree with you. The impact is technically included, but diluted so far that in practical terms it's invisible. We're just going to have to disagree, now and forevermore, amen. Regarding Jones, you don't need game logs for anything either one of us is doing here, so the lack of game...

    Kurt Warner talks about Matt Leinart's predicament

    Thanks. :) McCown's numbers come out at 17.41%, which would be the worst ever for a QB in his category, if he had had enough pass attempts to qualify in my original study. The best of all time, by the way, was Bert Jones of the Baltimore Colts. He scores at 3.34%, which is helped some by his...

    Kurt Warner talks about Matt Leinart's predicament

    Yeah, I see the change in the numbers. I just don't agree about what it means. The thing is, most QB fumbles take place on sacks. Small number of plays overall, but a big impact. When you use attempts in your divisor, it blunts the impact of those sacks so much that you actually lose...

    Kurt Warner talks about Matt Leinart's predicament

    Not "finding". I had to calculate all that stuff myself. And yes, I was very bored, and yes, I do this kind of thing for fun. Yes, I am a geek. After Warner's retirement, I was arguing with some friends about his fumbling and how bad it was and what it meant, and we didn't get anywhere...

    I have a feeling that Matt Will be playing for the...????

    Carolina is justifiably a lot higher on Matt Moore than they would be on Leinart, I think. At this stage, Leinart has a lot less value to anybody else because he won't know the system. He'd have been a 1000 times better off getting cut a few months ago. I don't think he'll be getting...

    Now that Anderson is most likely the starter, predict our win total for the season!

    Thank you. :)

    Kurt Warner talks about Matt Leinart's predicament

    No. The gloves aren't what made Warner fumble less. Getting hit less often is what made Warner fumble less. I don't know why I'm bothering with this, because it'll get swallowed up in the thread and is unlikely to actually be read by anyone, but what the hell. If you look at QB fumbles as a...

    Matt Leinart has had a great pre-season and should be the starting QB!

    Um. What? Warner made the Rams in 1998 despite throwing a whopping four passes in preseason games. He won the roster spot based on his performance in practice, and got the backup job in 1999 before preseason started. And he didn't light it up or stink that preseason, either. Really, he got...

    This just in from Sando: Its personal per Boldin

    D'oh! Sorry.

    Yeah, well, I wish we had ANYTHING on the roster besides the possible stud QB. :D

    ??? I keep seeing this version of events on non-Cardinal boards, and I can understand it there, but have Cardinal fans themselves forgotten how things went down?

    Thanks Ken

    Let me just tell you how much more interesting it is here than on any Rams board right now. It's all: "God, I hope Bradford turns out to be good." "I know, right?" "Yeah. We've got some other players, though." "I know, but nothing means anything unless Bradford's good." "I know, right?" "God...

    That's bizarre. Was there a potential discipline thing, or is he just apologizing for their QB being Alex Smith?

    Max Hall-real deal?

    And even then he didn't start as a rookie! So we're back to square one!
