Quick note that former Ram WR Dane Looker was finally picked up by another team earlier this week. The good news for Looker is, he's working. The bad news, he's working for Scott Linehan again, having been signed by the Lions.
Now that he's in a camp, though, remember to never sell Dane Looker short. He's certainly behind Calvin Johnson, Dennis Northcutt, Derrick Williams and Bryant Johnson, but I see little reason, other than getting a late start, that Looker couldn't hang in Detroit as WR5. They don't have a possession-type receiver like him there that I'd want to rely on. Keary Colbert was a pass-dropping machine their first game, and is more of a deep-route runner anyway. Billy McMullen's never done anything. The rest look like free agent types.
Looker's shown the Rams more than once his ability to pull the offense out of a fire with a clutch play. Watch if he doesn't repeat that feat with his career up in Detroit. Best of luck to a hard-working Rams favorite (who, admittedly, the current Rams roster could use).
