Ain't that the freaking truth.I thought that was impossible until I watched Rypien a few weeks back.

I was referring Stafford in general.Statically Stafford was one of the best in the NFL from empty in 2021.
He didn't throw 17 ints from empty set.
They are cursed until they move back to San Diego...Chargers always finding a way to lose…
And Randall Cunningham, Brad Johnson, Rich Gannon, Doug Williams, Trent Green, Kerry Collins.Plunkett is another who comes to mind. I guess you would have to put our very own Superbowl MVP Kurt Warner on the reclamation list for what the Cardinals were able to get out of him....
I'd say teams in need of a QB:The thing is only a few teams are in need of a QB. If Nix is available in the 3rd or late in the 2nd if the Rams trade up, I think he would be worth the risk. Of course, as we all know it is possible that the Rams fill one of their primary needs in free agency.
You ain't kiddin!! So stealthy they're hiding it from us AND the league!A bit too stealthy....![]()
What, and miss out on the Midwest?Man I miss the islands. Wish I had been one of those guys who were smart and bought a house out there then stuck around. Got friends out there who own houses that are worth a mint plus have boat docks in their back yards. Almost bought one in Kailua back in the early 90s. It hurts.![]()
"I'm fast, but not that fast..." ~ CreedI think we missed on him. Just like with Jefferson. Rams need to learn from those mistakes and hit on a speed threat in this draft.
I believe Stafford and the OL are the problem. All you need to do is look at SF Purdy is a fake star in this league propped up by a sensational pocket due to the OL.Why is anyone surprised the OL is rated poorly in pass protection? I say again that is largely on McVay who abandons the run and allows the front 7 to simply play pass on every down. Overall the OL grades reflect a new OL in their first season together with a new OL coach. Getting basically a middle of the pack grade isn't a bad thing.
IMO their grading will improve next year as they learn to play together as a cohesive unit. Also, if McVay will return to his balanced run/pass attack. He will have Kyren and Royce as his #1  RBs. IMO they were graded lower in the run blocking because of how McVay kept playing the smurf who would go down with an arm tackle, while ignoring Freeman who got more yards with fewer carries. Now with Williams and Freeman the OL grading should improve in the run game.
That balance will improve their pass blocking as well. I see this unit as finishing rated between 14-16 which is a huge improvement for this rebuilt OL.
IMO the OL isn't the problem. It's the playcalling that is the problem. Where did the McVay of 2018 go?
If McVay insists upon slow developing pass routes he needs to give Stafford shorter quicker developing routes as well. He used to do that when he layered his route tree. Both Williams and Freeman are capable receivers along with the TEs. McVay needs to get them more involved in the passing attack. McVay needs to understand that moving the chains is not a bad thing. Limits, the opposition offensive possessions, keeps his defense fresh. It also protects the OL as it develops.
Not only a win on Sunday, but lets finish 5-1 in the division!Anyone remember a Thanksgiving all 3 games were that crappy?
Enjoy the long weekend, everyone!
And yeah @Rams8821 let’s go get the win on Sunday!![]()
Easy. Whiners by a long shot.Gawd what's worse Dallas or the 9ers winning the SB? I can't decide.
God I hope not. Course McVay loves him some Henderson so would not surprise me.Henderson is likely to be a gameday active.
