Tre Mason says.......

Mason said today that STL coaches said he has a legitimate opportunity to win the RB1 job......... this year. Any chance he has a real shot or is it simply motivational coach speak?

I would say Stacy is more likely to with the job, but I do think Mason will get a fair shot.

Its the OTAs a lot of stuff is said. I will be more concerned week 1

I think it's all coach speak right now. Give it a month or two and will see if it's the same tune.

Mason will get his chance..if they really loved stacy as. there baqck for the future why draft mason then?

BPA, that's why. Vikings had Chester Taylor who just got his first 1000 yard season. Then AP landed on their laps in the draft. Do you blame them?

Should be a competition between these two and don't forget Cunningham. Imo it will be Stacy as lead and rotate mason Cunningham for #2

Anyone is open to starting week 1, especially when the starter list year couldn't break 4ypc.

Because they had already drafted three players previously and filled their more pressing needs. Why not attempt to improve at RB which was, in fact, a sore spot for the Rams last season (Though that was hardly Stacy's fault)... Perhaps they'd like a better back-up? Maybe they don't feel like Cunningham is the shiz- nit like everyone here seems to think? They already canned Richardson and Pead has had one foot out the door for a year and a half now..... So...... Yeah, why not draft a RB?

Agreed, they have a nice roster except at WR right now. BPA made sense. I doubt Mason gets handed the rb1 job.

I'd pick up both Stacy and Mason....good competition could bring out a solid RB1 over there in STL

Yeah, I can agree with this... But even at WR they've got players that I think they just need to sort out (Austin, Bailey, Givens, Quick, Pettis, Britt) ...

I think we see a RBBC, but the split is hard to tell and who will get the majority is difficult to say as well.... We do know that, especially as a rookie, Mason is going to be handicapped on 3rd downs unless he learns to pass protect....

IMO, I see a 70/30 split in Stacy's favor this season at least...

They are gonna hit on a wr soon...got to

Mason will be the 3rd best back in St. Louis - Cunningham ultimately the best, unless the coaches don't give Cunningham or Stacy a fair shake

BAM!!!

THIS!!!

Wow...maybe we are the same person in some lights ;-)

I was all over Cunningham before last year, then all he does is look great when given opportunities...the guy is the complete package. Watch out.

I like Stacy, he is the "solid if not spectacular" maxim to a T, and he is a hardworking character guy. But the best combo of physical gifts, and actual ability is Cunningham to me.

For sure, I kind of sucks because Stacy is a very very solid back, but Cunningham has star written all over him and it shows on the field. In the real world the Rams are stoked, in Fantasy what a mess. Mason is likely going to challenge for 3rd down duty with the other two sharing the load on early downs, although any of them can do all 3 but Cunningham the overall most complete.

Agreed on ALL points...problem is Mason is not skill-wise suited to be a 3rd down back.

Howdy, Stranger!
