If they can’t, Titus will lose his last, best hope at Resurrection in big-time football, and they hefty cash that ensues after a few successful seasons of which he is certainly capable.

This is a low-risk/high-reward situation. If Young doesn’t see the handwriting on the wall, and pull it together now, he never will, and soon will find himself out of football, possibly forever. It just happens that for once, this is a very clear win-win, or a simple, very rapid loss for a troubled youngster. I hope for all concerned that the former is the case! GO RAMS!!!

Either he gets his targets and is fine, or he doesn’t and will act out again.

Lots of guys have had better physical tools than Amendola, the beauty of it is that while a lot of those guys lack heart or drive, Amendola excells and makes it an opportunity to shine.

Many of you are unwilling to look at the other side of the story and you have a vested interest in Young failing.

If Sherman, the receivers coach, is as good as advertised. If Bradford can look off guys who are tripled covered and get the ball to Young when he is wide open, play after play, after play, then there is a chance that the Rams will get the production out of him that Young’s college coach did.

Young has a track record of screwing up and then coming back and straightening things out. He was suspended for a year in college, which would have caused 90% of kids to transfer. He didn’t. He served his suspension, came back, and became one of the best receivers in the country.

There isn’t any excuse for what he did with the lions, but there is another side to the story. lions fan wants you to completely ignore the other side of the story.

The Rams have Young’s college teammate and receiving partner Austin Pettis. I suspect he was called in. I also suspect that he responded with something to the effect of, he is coachable if the coach earns his respect. He will get open and he will catch the ball if you throw it to him. He will run after the catch. He is a fierce competitor and he’s proven he is a gamer and a winner. If you ask him to run 40 routes a game, most of which he is wide open, and Bradford throws to someone else who is in triple coverage, then there might (probably will) be problems.

I do not like the Rams, but I think they took an excellent gamble. This was a smart move.

Amendola is a really good football player. He needs to tell his ignorant agent to shut his piehole.

Uhh really? Danny is probably one of the toughest if not toughest players on the team. The man plays fearless every Sunday, whether it’s going over the middle or returning Punts. He was almost killed during that Clavicle separation (no exaggeration) and still plays just as hard.

I’d bet the house of Danny to win that fight if it came down to it.

Titus Young 10 Receiving TD’s in limited action over about 1 1/2 seasons.

All about getting into the end zone people. Rams haven’t been able to do it consistently since 2006.

Oh, it’s ON!

There are better ways to point out that your client is better than another player than to take shots at said player.

How about “while Danny appreciates any moves the Rams make to strengthen the overall roster, we’re certain they realize the value of players who have already been major contributors for them”.

It’s Amendola, not Burkhardt, who may have to go into the locker every day with Young, so creating a potentially awkward situation isn’t serving your client very well.

But I’d be comfortable entering the season with Givens, Quick, Danny, Titus, and Pettis. A nice mix of talented guys.
