If you would have told me a Boise State rookie receiver was going to get suspended for 4 games this year, I would have guessed Titus Young. Not for PEDs, just for doing something stupid.

I think following the suspension, players start over at the rookie wage scale. If they’re a rookie, they should get practice squad rates for the following season.

Are you kidding me? Our WR corp is already not that good. Now we lose the one promising WR for the rest of the year and part of next year….wonderful.

It seems unfair that a player would be suspended for performance enhancing drugs that obviously don’t work.

I met pettis at the senior bowl last year and did not take him to be the cheating type. He seemed very mature with a good head on his shoulders. This has got to be some sort of misunderstanding. Him an titus young both were the two nicest guys out of the whole group.

Mock drafters sometimes.

WR isn’t nearly as big of a need for the Rams as people would have you believe.

Brandon Lloyd is a number one receiver that will be re-signed.

Danario Alexander, when healthy, has all the makings of a #2 receiver.

Danny Amendola is a stud in the slot, and if you ask me, the most underrated injury loss in the league. Nobody talks about him, but Amendola was Bradford’s favorite target and a great safety blanket.

Salas had trouble early, but he was coming on in place of Amendola, prior to injury.

Stop mocking Blackmon to the Rams.

My guess is they trade down. Someone will be looking to move up for one of the QBs

Yet Pete Rose is banned for life from baseball and he wasn’t playing.

Well at least it’s a change of pace. Usually the Ram’s lose a player to IR

“they are aware of what they are doing by taking banned substances, they should be cut regardless of skill level.”

Yeah, so if I don’t like the contract I’m under and I don’t want to get the franchise tag, just take some PEDS and I’m a free agent – is that what you suggest?

maybe they should just increase the suspensions

If this season’s performance has been Austin Pettis on the juice, I’m not sure the Rams want Austin Pettis while off the juice.

This should really shake up those Pittsburgh-StL. game predictions.

Maybe some of these guys would think twice if they knew that their team will probably cut them. Should be the same for everyone, but we all know really good players will get n=number of chances where marginal guys are out the door pronto! Still you pay, play and train these guys to help you, and they are aware of what they are doing by taking banned substances, they should be cut regardless of skill level. Might make drug enforcement and drug use in the NFL to a new level of effectiveness!
