Well..JJ looking shaky....
Said it before, Caleb sucks.
He does not have what it takes between the ears to be a top NFL quarterback.
And that matters far more than being "athletic".
I saw a much improved player and much improved team. The team imploded across the board in the 2nd half and O'Connell took advantage. It didn't look like 14 - 3 against 5 - 12 to me.That new Bears coach is about to find out there's a world of difference in being the mad genius drawing it up when the system is all set up to provide you good talent and the snot bubblers up front. Versus when you find yourself needing to set up all that talent and running the entire show.
OC has to be a great gig, especially where he came from. Martz for example probably appreciated the foundation laid by Vermiel a ton more after he'd had some years of building it himself.
Amazing what a little financial security can do to some players.Watching this game.....the Rams traded a problem to the Bears.
Jackson is not good.
Bad balance....easily loses rushers with a change of direction.
I don't think Martz's ego let him think twice about Vermeil.That new Bears coach is about to find out there's a world of difference in being the mad genius drawing it up when the system is all set up to provide you good talent and the snot bubblers up front.

He did have an outsized ego. But life has a way of humbling even the most arrogant of us. So I'm sure there's a point where it occurred to him how good he had it with DV building the lines and assembling all that talent that helped make him a household name.I don't think Martz's ego let him think twice about Vermeil.
I don't know if he was ever that good.Amazing what a little financial security can do to some players.
Did Vermicelli assemble the team or was it the GM?He did have an outsized ego. But life has a way of humbling even the most arrogant of us.

Vermiel. Rams had no eye for talent for a decade. Then they hire Vermiel and hit on players for several years in a row and build the GSoT. Then the moment Vermiel left they went right back to whiffing on players.Did Vermicelli assemble the team or was it the GM?
I had very little access to solid Rams info back then. I recall a guy named Ortmayer and later Armey.Vermiel. Rams had no eye for talent for a decade.
